Mixology/Oenology/Drinking thingy
Hotel management is very vast to learn like a duck, you will learn to do almost everything, for example marketing, housekeeping and the food & beverage, but if you want to go deeply on something, you really need to learn something more on your own.
I‘m really fond of the charisma of the drinks, getting to know more about their history that intoxicates my brain and my vain. My university also provides the lessons too, but as is being said,I only learn the brief of them. That’s why I really love to go out and drink a lot and learn the brief of the drinks, especially the alcohol one, in order to know more of the taste and what suits best when you mix something together.
but another one of the main reasons that can’t be refused is I love to hangout and drink, especially whiskey one, there’s a lot of history and the terrain of the plantation that will provide the unique kind and taste of them.

I love to watch movies a lot, movies are giving me some kind of a mind set or the morals that conceal beneath each movie. Firstly, I watch them as a fun of my youth, but it seems like my perspective of the movie style is growing besides me and making change of my watching style.
Nowadays I watch the movie that use the unique technics that’s fit on the mood & tone of the movie or the situation such as the Reverse the time from Christopher Nolan, snorricam from Guy Ritchie and the long-take action sequences from Matthew Vaghn. Also the material that makes the story look interesting, the satire dialog from Quentin, or the meaningful silence from Wong Kar Wai.
Such a contrast that my friend who is studying film , now interests in drinks, but me who learns drinks is excited for the technique of filming and storytelling.
Phum, when you write that you "really love to go out and drink a lot," it certainly sounds honest, but I'm not sure I agree that drinking a lot really helps learning. When I was a uni. student, I learned to drink a lot, which eased my discomfort in social situations, but what I learned was that the drug alcohol had unfortunate consequences at the time, and again the following day when through my head ache I vaguely remembered what I'd done and said under the influence of that powerful drug.
ReplyDeleteActually, alcohol has always been a normal part of my life. My family, although Australian for three generations, is of Italian descent, and almost the first thing my great-grandparents did after clearing a bit of native bush land 140 years ago was to plant the grape vines they had brought over on the boat from Italy to make wine. My family inherited the habit of wine with dinner, and often also with lunch. My brothers and sisters with children don't repeat it, but our parents thought it was perfectly normal to let us have a little wine even with we were children, probably from about age ten onwards. And on my annual visits back to see my family (missed last year thanks to Covid), it would unimaginable to have dinner or lunch with my mum and not open a bottle of wine to go with it, but she's 90 now and going strong, so it her regular drug use for the last 80 years or so doesn't seem to have done her any harm. Most of my Thai friends don't drink wine, but I still like a glass or two with special meals, even if no one else wants to share it with me.
Sorry, Phum, I've written enough for one comment. I'm sure others will take up movies in their responses.
Thanks for the memories of my childhood and family that reading your comments about alcoholic drinks brought up. I changed topics a bit, but that's not a big problem in this sort of response writing. If you you want to change topics, just start a new paragraph, (no indented first lines!) and go for it.
Hi Peter, your answer about your mother reminds me of my grandmother she is the happiest person I have ever known. Now she is 93 years old and she's still chatting on home-phone with her younger friend, walking around tidying home, watching old Chinese movies, and shouting at my dog. When I see her doing her activities, sometimes I laugh and adore her, that she still caring so much about activities in life. I'm glad to hear that your mom's healthy and strong. When I see old people, They tend to make me happy.
DeleteHi Phum, I'm a little bit curious, Do you mind explain me more? What are Oenology means and What is ..vast to learn like a duck means?
