Dearest Mom,
I wish you a very happy Mother's Day! I know that Mother's Day is of a different day there in Thailand but I still want to wish you Happy Mother's Day all the same. I thank you for being my Mom. I thank you for all the love and care that you have given me and my sisters. I wish you a happy year and I pray that God will bless you greatly this year. I miss you a lot!

Your Loving Son,

Why We Celebrate Easter

Did you know about the history of Easter?

Easter celebrates the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. For some people, Easter is more significant than Christmas. Jesus Christ's sacrifice is celebrated on Good Friday and the resurrection on Easter Sunday, three days after Good Friday.

Easter reminds us all of the Great Gift that our Lord has given us and we should be very grateful.

Jesus Christ died and rose again!

Happy Easter To Everyone!

The History of Video games

Did you know that video games have a very long history?


The origin of video games started with the invention of cathode ray tube-based missile defense systems in the late 1940s. These devices were then adapted to simple games in the 1950s.
Tennis for Two 1958

Pong 1972
Pong is Tennis for Two's successor. I'm quite sure some of you may still remember it and I'm also quite sure that a number of people still play this even now.

This is the Atari Home Pong console released in 1975.

This is the upright cabinet of Pong.

The very first video games were already installed in their consoles.


Then came cassettes and tapes.

Then of course with the invention of the compact disks. Game consoles were then designed to use CDs.


The Wii
One of the latest gaming consoles of the present.
The PS3
Also one of the latest gaming consoles of the present.


Then came of course the portable game consoles. You can buy all these in supermarkets or online.


Video games have really gone far from when it first started to now. Video games of now are getting more and more realistic. I wouldn't be surprised that in only a few more years, game developers would be able to make virtual reality games where a player would be able to feel everything in the game as if it was in the real world but such a technology like that would still be very dangerous to use. Like many other people, I am also fond of video games but of course, there are still limits to gaming. Too much exposure would prove to be dangerous and unhealthy. But always remember to have fun.
