Silver Bullet was presented with these when he ordered a “Double Espresso” after our lunch today:
If only you can see the smirk he had on his face. Bwwaaaahahahhahahahaaaaa!
You really gotta laugh. Only in Thailand.

Dr.Feet
Category: Thaism
If you are a sucker for a proper foot massage like me, you can appreciate a true and proper foot reflexology which leaves your knees buckling.
You would also just know that a proper foot reflexology massage place can be such a treasure trove if only you know where to find them; especially here in Bangkok.
I came to know about Dr. Feet from a fellow Pilates classmate of mine. It comes highly recommended as they practice proper reflexology rather than just a Thai style foot massage. None of that foot rub nonsense of a Thais style massage – which technically can be given by anyone. The staff are professional and all are certified reflexologists. They focus on the pressure points of your feet and they actually KNOW what they are doing!
The place is rather small, with only about 8 chairs for foot massage at any one time. However, the turnover of customers at this place is really phenomenal, with an almost non-stop drop-ins.
Dr. Feet is located right opposite Samitivej Hospital in Sukhumvit. I cannot imagine I missed this place before, and not even give it a second glance considering both Silver Bullet and myself used to go to this hospital for our ailments! With only 350 baht per hour for a PROPER foot reflexology, it definitely is worth the quality of foot massage anyone can ever get in Bangkok.

The blues
Category: Rant and Thoughts
I would hate to admit this, but these past few days have been a little bit of a downer for me. I’ve been pretty low on energy and my overall mood has just been absolutely “bleeaaaahhh”! I am, at best, apathetic; with little or no motivation to do anything while waiting for things to get going.
Unfortunately, a lot of things are beyond my control at this stage and I can definitely sense my already diminishing energy levels disappearing together with my almost non-existent enthusiasm. To be honest, I had none to begin with whatsoever, but had so far ride it out pretty well. Right now, everything just seems super “bleeaaaahhh” as my days get as uneventful as a lau ah-pek picking his nose and scratching his balls while staring into space. It’s like groundhog day…
…except that Silver Bullet made a difference with his acute sense in noticing the changes in the air around me.
He came home a little earlier than usual and surprised me with a bouquet of flowers. While my initial reaction was “what do I do with a bunch of flowers now that I have them in my hand”, I can’t deny the fact that it was such a sweet and loving gesture on his part. That brought a smile to my face, and before I realise it, a lump began to form in my throat the moment I brought the bouquet close to my chest to literally stare at it. I could just feel the love just oozing relentlessly out of his pores. There and then, I can’t help but gushed out incoherent thoughts in my head as to how much I really love and adore my husband. 
Despite my usual nonchalant sentiments to flowers, I’d be lying if I say I did not appreciate such gesture. Silver Bullet even took the trouble to hand-write me a card, which, in my very vulnerable moment could have easily opened up the flood gate of tears (but I didn’t!).
We both are not romantic type, but it really was one of the sweetest things he did to ease my super “bleeaaaahhh” moments. I think I just fall in love with that man all over again!
