Lin Hui gives birth to baby Panda

Female Panda Lin Hui gave birth to a healthy cub on Wednesday morning at the Chiang Mai Zoo, Thailand.

Chiang Mai zoo director Thanaphat Pongphamon said Lin Hui delivered a cub at 10:10 am. Prasertsak Boontrakulpoonthawee, head of the Panda section, said Lin Hui delivered her baby at 10:39 am. He also said he saw that Lin Hui shook, pushed and delivered the cub.

The sex and weight of the cub were still unknown as Lin Hui would not allow zoo officials near the baby, Mr Thanaphat said. Lin Hui had carried the baby for 93 days and the birth was without complications.

This is considered a big success for Chiang Mai zoo. Despite the best care and encouragement, Lin Hui's partner Xuang Xuang had failed to impregnate her. All efforts to arouse Xuang Xuang's interest in mating had failed, even after showing videos of other pandas mating. He just couldn't nail it - even after all the Panda porn he watched. The pandas' keepers finally resorted to artificial insemination.

The two animals arrived from China over five years ago as part of a panda research program. The loan agreement will see the two pandas and their offspring returned to China after 10 years.

There has been a lot of bad talk about this, since she's only 15.
But in my opinion, i think it's great that she is who she is, and she's true to herself. If a tattooed smoking girl at the age of 15 is who she is, then so be it. Can't change yourself to fit what other people want you to be.

Manny Pacquiao in Thailand today

Update: Manny "Pac-Man" Pacquiao shakes hands with PM Abhisit Vejjajiva in Bangkok on Monday May 25, 2009.





Filipino boxing legend Manny Pacquiao visits Thailand today as a presenter for a Filipino beer brand San Miguel and would host a press conference at the Four Seasons Hotel in Bangkok at 10.00 a.m.



Superstar Pacquiao, nicknamed the "Pac-Man", is making a one-day trip from his home country the Philippines. Pacquiao is scheduled to meet the Thai Prime Minister Mr. Abhisit Vejjajiva at the Government House at 16:00.

Pacquiao recently beat British boxer Ricky Hatton by a knockout in Las Vegas, adding the IBO light welterweight belt to his impressive collection of world titles. Upon returning home on May 8, the Filipino superstar was greeted to a heroes welcome with a grand celebration and warm welcome from Filipino President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.

According to the earlier reports, Pacquiao was scheduled to travel to Thailand for a one-day trip on May 21, but San Miguel, however, recently announced that the Filipino boxer would not come to Thailand on the planned date due to a schedule conflict with an event at home and "certain domestic issues".

Girl Tattoo Designs

Girl Tattoo Designs Are As Unique As The Girls Who Wear Them

One of the most popular topics of conversation these days is how far women have come to gain equality. You may never have thought about it before, but one place you can see evidence of this social change is in the tattoo parlor. Girl tattoo designs are becoming more popular and diverse than ever.

Women have become increasingly viewed as equal with men since they began to enter the workforce and breached gender barriers in ways such as getting tattoos. Today, girls continue this trend in many diverse ways, such as developing new tattoos, or coming up with new variations on standard designs. Many of the women around you have tattoos, even if you aren't aware of them. Most likely, many of your neighbors, friends, and colleagues have gotten tattoos. Find out from them what designs they selected and what reasons they had for choosing them. Their stories might provide you with some creative inspiration. The internet is also an excellent place to look for tattoos.

People who feel timid or shy can use the relatively private method of searching the internet rather than asking around, and possibly being embarrassed by family members who are averse to tattoos. This method also allows you to find information much more quickly, and you will find several million ideas on the web. A tattoo is something that you're going to live with for the rest of your life, so you'll want to make sure the design you choose is a meaningful one. What is important in your life? A religious symbol, or maybe the name of a loved one? Those would both make great tattoo design ideas. When you are looking at tattoo designs, don't forget to consider where on your body this tattoo will go. If you are planning to get a tattoo, for instance, on your back, nearly any art design will work well. This location provides a flat canvas with plenty of room to ink the artwork. If, however, you have chosen a smaller body part, such as an ankle or a hip, think carefully about your decision. Your ankles are relatively small, and you don't want to pick a design that is bigger than your whole foot!

Many important choices are involved in having your tattoo done. Research carefully to find ideas for girl tattoo designs, and really consider what they will look like when they are applied to your body. Most of all, be sure that you select a tattoo that will have meaning for you and remain enjoyable for the rest of your life.

Celtic Tattoos

Find the Unique Celtic Designs For You

Most people looking for Celtic design tattoos are passionate about this kind of art. There is so much generic stuff floating around in cyber space. Celtic design tattoos originated in Ireland, Wales and Scotland. When Christians took over control, the tattoo cultures blended. A popular Celtic design tattoo is the Celtic cross. Many times you will see a Celtic knot around the middle of the cross where the two pieces cross.

Because Celtic design tattoos are very popular, you want to make sure you get a unique tattoo. Don't go into a tattoo parlor ready to get inked without a design in hand. Look through the books to get an idea of the type of work the artist has done not to pick out a tattoo design. Keep in mind that the tattoos in their books have already been inked on someone. Some of the best galleries have areas where you can upload pictures of your tattoo and people can comment on them. You can also join forums to talk about finding and creating designs.

An online tattoo gallery, specifically a membership tattoo gallery will allow you access to thousands of designs and you can pick and choose the designs that you want to include in your tattoos. It is best to pick parts of different tattoo designs that you like and put them together like a jigsaw puzzle to design your own tattoo. From a tattoo gallery you can have unlimited downloads of designs so you can print as many different designs as you want and look at them on paper instead of on the computer screen.

Below is a photo of Sorawee Nattee

Bangkok Skytrain Thonburi extension launched

Bangkok Skytrain (BTS) yesterday launched its first run over Chao Phraya river with free rides for passengers.



The BTS extension from Saphan Taksin station to Wong Wian Yai is the first Skytrain route to venture across the river to Thon Buri.

For years, Bangkok commuters have faced a rush hour nightmare on the way to work or school each morning. That nightmare lasts longest in Sathorn, the capital's central business district - and its most congested.

It should help ease the traffic jams along the Sathorn Road at the King Taksin Bridge route, the most gridlocked road in Bangkok.

Around 2,000 vehicles are expected per hour during rush hour after the BTS extension opens, compared to almost 15,000 vehicles currently.

Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva was at the launch ceremony to wave off the first train. The BTS extension is expected to boost the estimated 400,000 Skytrain journeys made every day by around 30,000 to 50,000.

A campaign is being launched to encourage parents who usually drive their children to schools in Sathorn area to use the Skytrain instead. Parking space has been increased near the newly opened stations and shuttle buses will ferry passengers to stations

The extension is a huge boost for Thon Buri commuters who have to cross the Chao Phya River to get to work.

The Skytrain link to the rest of the city means that Thon Buri has become Bangkok's new hot property, and condominiums have mushroomed close to the extension's two stations to meet demand.

Hello to all the tattooed girls!

I know i haven't been posting very regularly, exams are to blame.

But i thought I'd share with you guys a magazine that I learned about when i first got my tattoo.

It's Japanese (and nope, i can't read a word of it) but i absolutely LOVE this magazine. The magazine is called 'Tattoo Girls'. It's basically a magazine that takes photos of girl's tattoos on the street and asks them about their tattoos etc. I love the magazine because it's full of a wide range of tattoos.

And we all know one good method to coming up with a tattoo is seeing what is out there and to get some inspiration :)

I recently bought the 'overseas' edition, meaning it was all about tattoos in LA, NY and London!

Here are a few scans (i apologize for the bad quality)

Origins of Tattoos

Believe it or not but most scientist believe the origins of tattoos date back to about 3300 B.C. They believe that certain marks found on the skin of the origins of tattoos, a mummified body of an iceman found in the italian alps, were considered tattoos back in his days. If their acceptance is true, these marks on his body represent the earliest known evidence for tattoos in history. All we know for sure up until now is, there are tattoos found on Egyptian and Nubian mummies dating from about 2000 B.C. Classical authors also mention the use of tattoos in ancient societies like the old Greeks, Germans, Britons, Romans and Gauls.

The tattoos we know nowadays were discovered by Europeans while exploring north america and the south seas of the pacific ocean. Their first contact with cultures like the American Indians and Polynesians also were the first contact of so called "civilized" people with tattoos. The word tattoo was first mentioned in James Cook's records from his 1769 journey to the south seas. The natives of Tahiti, this is were Cook's expedition went to, called the marks on their bodies TATTAU which was translated into TATTOO by Cook. Due to their exotic appearance, tattooed Indians and Polynesians where showcased at circuses and fairs during the 18th and 19th century all over Europe and the US.

Chinese Tattoos Tips

I just saw a Caucasian woman with a Chinese tattoo that says, 'love birds' in Chinese. When read in the Chinese context, it means either you love birds or and you are a bird lover!

The Chinese calligraphy may look impressive, especially when combined with a Chinese dragon tattoo, but get it wrong and you may be looking like a clown with a puzzle tattoo instead. And by the way, Chinese tattoos are not Japanese tattoos.

For those thinking of inking the Chinese characters tattoos, I would suggest consulting a Chinese speaking tattoo artist before the procedure.

Chinese tattoos with just the characters or writing alone can look quite boring unless the calligraphy is done tastefully, which is rare unless the tattoo artist is trained to write and have practiced Chinese calligraphy for a period of time.

The Chinese phoenix tattoo is a very powerful symbol for women and the Chinese dragon is a good one for men.
