These press conferences I've been attending, they teach me a thing or two.

The first one is with this new female Thai martial arts star: Jeeja Yanin from Chocolate. She's 24 but looks way younger than that, and the thing that really made me like her and smile at her responses to the media was her sincerity. Probably cos its her first movie and she's new in the industry, fresh and new, ready to take on the world. If you saw her smile you'd know it was just because she was enjoying the session. She even tried using whatever English she could to answer questions when she felt that she was capable. She posed for the cameras and even took off her boots to show her injury and let the cameras snap away. In response to a question regarding the kind of movies she'd take, she said "anything but sexy movies". I really hope she stays like this. Pure and innocent.

The second one was just earlier today with Muh-ri-eh Digby, the Youtube phenomenon. It was a very cosy round table interview in her hotel room and she was really good with the questions, answered all of them well, not just short answers and stuff. She's very down to earth though she's making it big and all; even admitted to us that she could never be cool even if she tried cos she's in a world of her own most of the time. She's not into the whole clubbing thing and don't drink or smoke.

What I appreciate about them is their ... well not really innocence, but their freshness. Being new and untouched or untainted by the media. Maybe its just part of the whole start innocent and slowly become more sexy - I hope not. But it's assuring to know that there are still people being different and not conforming. Maybe they need to record their goals now, what they want to be, what they don't want to be. So that the clutter of the showbiz won't interfere and overwhelm them.

We should do the same too. Write things down. Our goals. Things we won't do to hinder us from achieving that goal. Things we must do to work towards the goal. And every now and then check back.

ANYWAY, TGIF!!!
