I thought it would be a little tougher but I am actually kind of happy that I am taking a chance to find myself a new life and a new future that I will love or embrace. As I was packing my stuff while I listen to a Song called juvenile in white one of my favorite songs from my favorite tv show I will never let you go.
I started to remember when I was little how my mom and I would go to different places and visit my grandparents and they would tell me in Chinese that life is like the wind and it changes throughout the season but water makes its own path and you have to choose which path that you will take. At first, I really didn't understand what they meant but now as I look back I now can say I understand what they meant and I chose to take a path for myself and follow my heart and guide myself to a new beginning.
As I leave my old life behind and I start to wonder what it would be like and how will it turn out but who knows the only I can hope for that it is a blissful life. I am on my way to the airport, I started to wonder if my new start in Thailand would be the Cinderella story, my mom used to read to me when I was little but I just hope that it would not have to come to that and as I departure from Los Angeles to Thailand, and I say my goodbyes to my mom and friends but my mom said that. " it's not goodbye but it's hello.” I only could laugh and say, wish me luck.
As I walk to board the plane I remember the first time I got on the plan with my mom and we were heading to Hawaii. Those were the good old days I enjoyed so much and I just got a notification and it's said that son of million dollar business tycoon Taylor Wu Alex Phasakorn was at Lax board a plan and would seem that I can slip away from the paparazzi and this is my glamorous lifestyle.
The only thing I can say is that I won't miss the paparazzi cause where I go it always be paparazzi and that's for sure. As the plane takes off and I put my headphones in my ear and enjoy the flight to Thailand, and what until its time to eat dinner and change clothes in my private suite and enjoy my first class champagne and caviar. Before I could enjoy the relaxation I had got a phone call and was from my dad.
My dad asked me is everything to my liking on the plane and I said that." it was to my liking and I asked him how he knew the phone on the?" and he told me that he called my mom and ask would be ok if he paid for the plane ticket and everything else. I was kind of a shock to hear him say that and told him I will call him as soon as I would arrive and I hung the phone up and enjoy the next six or seven hours before I get to Thailand.
Today is my first day in Thailand, and I can not wait to see what this beautiful country has in store for me. As I walked out of the airport I started to see a driver with a sign with the last name of my family and I already knew that the car was for me sent by my dad. I walk to the driver and got in the car. As I left the airport and I start to wonder what is my older brothers, like and what do they do but I will find out as soon as I meet them.

We all went into the house and they were showing me to my room and I was shocked at how the room was and I could not say a word. I just gave a huge hug and told everyone thank you and ask them how did they what I like.
My dad said, “ that he called my mom and ask what did I like and how was my room back home was like.” I was so happy that everyone pitch in and gave the warmest and beautiful, and welcome home and I could not ask for a better welcome home than this and it really has been the happiest moment in my life.
My stepmom said, " why don't you get settled in first and come downstairs for lunch so we can get to know each other.” and I was really excited about my new life in Thailand and knowing that this might have been the best choice I had ever made. I started to call my mom but realized I don't know what time it is there in la so I just text her and told her that I made it to Thailand safe and everyone gave me welcome home.
