ไข่พระอาทิตย์ | King Bhumipol’s Sun Egg/Omelette ☀️🍳 Basically ไข่เจียว (Thai omelette), but with cooked rice mixed in. I just put eggs, rice, some ground meat, mushrooms, and onions. Topped it off with some scallions and fried garlic bits. Mom said it’s an actual thing that was created by King Bhumipol Adulyadej (King Rama IX). Apparently it was the late King’s favorite dish. Today I learned… 😲💛 I was being lazy… 🤷 Not bad for my lazy cooking attempt though. It’s that greasy comfort food that hits the spot (and would be some good drunk food).🍶

Honestly, I’m not okay right now.

I never willingly admit when I’m not doing well, but this time I’m really not.

What Matters | สิ่งสำคัญ English Cover
Original Song by Endorphine @daendorphine
English Lyrics by Me~ ✨

Happy Way back Wednesday~ This is super nostalgic for me since it’s one of my favorite Thai songs from my childhood~ Longer version and lyrics are up on Facebook and YouTube~

Lyrics:

Will our love still make it far,
Or someday we’ll fall apart
I don’t know
I’m not quite sure at all

All I’ll say now is that I love you
I’ve poured in my whole heart

What really matters
Is that we’re together
These other things have yet to pass by
All I can say
I’ll love you with all of my heart
Let’s remain strong
Hold this love in our hearts ‘til we part

So it seems I have several people who follow my Thai → English cover projects. It seems it’s helpful for Thai people who want to learn/improve their English. Likewise, some non-Thais use it as a way to understand Thai music.

I originally started writing/singing English versions of Thai songs for my non-Thai friends to enjoy the music that I enjoy. Sure, there are some YouTubers that do that. However, I sought to do it myself because I found them to sound really awkward (both English usage wise and in terms of the flow of the lyrics). I’m happy to see people see and enjoy my versions.

So I’ve been wondering whether I want to make a Facebook page or not. But would it seem too egotistical for me to want to make a FB page? I’m no artist, I’m not a great singer. Still I enjoy writing lyrics and singing. It makes me happy to see that people like and find the songs helpful. I don’t have that many followers or subscribers, but I like communicating with people who enjoy my work. I just don’t want to give out my private social media. I don’t know…what do you all think?

Hello Again~

So I’ve basically been MIA from my tumblr account in ages.
I thought I’d give a bit of an update.
Still struggling with things, but focusing on positive outlets. 
I’ve been working on more English covers. Wrote alot of lyrics…just need to finish some and record (when I have time). 

I’m been trying to work on more English versions since it seemed to be pretty popular and helpful to some Thai people who wanted to learn and improve their English. I also had some crazy moments in 2017. That being said, I’ve decided to try to document this hobby~ I’ll be posting all of these things here: http://piecesofmintymusic.wordpress.com

There’s also one other thing I’ve been a part of. Last year, a few of my friends started a website/blog on basically gaming and anime stuff. I’ve officially joined the team as a writer in December. They were looking for more writers and to add and diversify their content. And so I’ll be there writing about live action stuffs like movies and dramas. Though there are plans on other things, such as things relating to food. So feel free to check it out here: https://blackandyellowotakugamers.com


Another quick English cover I’m working on~
DEAN - “instagram"📷 | @deantrbl

English lyrics by me:

Tomorrow’s edging closer I know
Glued to my phone…just can’t let go…
Tossin’…turnin’…feelin’ restless…yeah~
So it’s Instagram, Instagram again…

People showing off in their posts…
So many people taking trips so far away~
I wanna like it, but I can’t…
Feelings no one understands…
In this Instagram, Instagram we’re in…

A shame…a shame…
The whole world’s to blame…
The same damn love song once again…
I’m feeling nothing…
In this night of mine…
Too many thoughts plague my mind…

Short English cover of “Home Is Far Away (빈차)” Originally by Epik High (feat. Oh Hyuk) | @blobyblo @hyukoh2000

I love, love, love this song. It’s relatable as hell and listening to it is therapeutic for me. 🎧

English lyrics by me:

Still got a long way
No taxis around
Rain is looming overhead
The day’s heavy weight sits on sagging shoulders
Let me put this weight down awhile
Home is far away

It’s a bit late, but I wanted to sincerely thank everyone for the past year. 2016-2017 was a hard and suffocating time for me. 2017 (and the second half of 2016) was frustrating and I suppose you can say part of my quarter life/existential crisis....

It’s a bit late, but I wanted to sincerely thank everyone for the past year. 2016-2017 was a hard and suffocating time for me. 2017 (and the second half of 2016) was frustrating and I suppose you can say part of my quarter life/existential crisis. Despite everything, I’m grateful for several things in 2017: •I really put myself into my lyric writing hobby.
•I was completely surprised to have not one, but several “Senpai noticed me!” moments from my favorite artists who saw my covers. •I went on a trip/Went abroad for the first time on my own with friends. •Finally got to visit and experience Japan. •I made new friends, whom I am very grateful to for their warmth and kindness. 💕 •I joined the Black and Yellow Otaku Gamers team

These were the highlights of my 2017. I also know my covers aren’t anything fancy or special, but I want to truly thank everyone who took the time to watch and be a part of my growth in lyric writing. It’s your love and support that pushed me to continuing this hobby. Because of you I had a dream come true of being able to have some recognition and interaction with artists that I love and respect. So thank you~ ✨💕 I’ll continue doing my best to improve and grow in 2018.

Love,
Minty 💕

It’s difficult opening up to people.

I often have people who open up to me and rely on me. I’m happy to listen and to be a shoulder to lean on. I always offer an ear, an open mind, and support. It’s because I’m an empathic person, and I truly understand how it feels to be overwhelmed by things. I know how difficult it is to open up to people for fear of being judged, or fear of having something confidential get spread around. Another fear, is fear of weighing someone down with your problems. I don’t do that though. I don’t judge, and I keep things confidential. I always stress it’s not a problem for me to be a support, because I care.

Yet, despite being someone who is constantly relied on, I feel like I have no one. I have very few people I have opened up to, but for the most part I keep everything to myself. The things I talk about are only the surface of what’s on my mind or how I feel. I tend to bottle it up, and end up just stuck in the weight of everything that’s piled up. It’s hard for me to open up. I’ve learned the hard way that not everyone has good intentions like me, or that some people only take and are never willing to give. Some people will make you promises, but quickly forget them and forget you. Some people use you at their convenience, but are nowhere to be found when you need someone. It’s a trauma for me that makes it hard for me to be honest about my thoughts and feelings. Even if I wanted to lay out my honest thoughts and feelings, I wouldn’t be able to put it into words. I’m terrible at speaking, yet, I’m much better at writing it out to help clear my thoughts. That’s why music has played a key part in how I cope with things. There are songs and lyrics that honestly feel they’ve described exactly how I feel. It’s comforting, and it feels like some of the things bottled up have been poured out. Yet, at times I still wish I had someone I could truly rely on too.
