outfit by Pailin

I was one of seven siblings in a poor family. We had no money to buy new clothings but school dresses.  However, not all of us had our own shirts. The dresses passed through from the eldest sister to second, third, forth and so on  before me.  After that, I passed the dresses to younger kids. We only had a pair of shorts for each to wear at home but not everyone had shirts. Our dresses were rotten that could not recognize the original colors. Our parents had no time to wash and sewed because they worked hard to raise us.


At the age of nineteen, I got a job at the cotton manufacturer where provided uniforms to all employees. I did not buy new clothing because I made little income and I had to spend money for other important things. One year later, I got promoted to be a company operator that I became an office clerk. I changed to wear an office uniform instead of an employee uniform. The company provided shirts and fabric to tailor skirts. I designed skirts by myself and other staffs liked them. 


After twelve years, I resigned from that company and applied a new job in a foreign firm. I had a chance to wear whatever I like. I bought the cheap fabrics and hired a dressmaker to tailor my dresses. I was very happy to wear my own designed garment. 


Right now, I become  an elderly woman living in the USA countryside with my American husband. I like to wear comfortable outfits those we bought from the second hand shops and sometime my friends and customers gave me their clothes that I love to wear. I do not like spending my money to buy my outfits. I am a simple , cheap elderly woman and do not care much how to dress.

Oily had visited Huahin a few times. She met a man from a dating site and spent time together at Huahin. It was a wonderful time six years ago that was her magnificent time with him. They walked along the seashore and sat under the coconut tree, also watched the children played the ball while the gentle breeze calmly all day. They stayed in a cottage at an old style resort. The cottage was very close to the sea that they could hear the sound of the wave. In the morning, they held hands and walked along the shore where shallow water enough to wet their feet.

A boy with a bear-cup : Pailin

 

A boy with a bear-cup

There was a small family living in the wood. There were colorful flowers beside the house and butterflies and bees roaming around. The deer and bears came to this field sometimes. A boy was the youngest one in the family. He loved to go to sit at the creek behind the house. One day, he went behind the house again , he sat on the rock near the creek and threw small rocks into the water and sang rabbit song that his mom sang to him while he was a younger boy. Suddenly, he saw a bear-cup walking toward him. A bear-cup was very hungry and made a sound like a baby bea…bea….It was so skinny. He was so excited and so sad to see him hungry. Then, he gave a piece of cookies to it and gentle put his hand on a cup’s head. While he enjoyed feeding and playing with the bear-cup ,he saw a buck (male-deer) and doe (female-deer) jumped up to the creek and ran away to the deep wood. His father came from other side of the creek hold an archery in his hand. The boy guessed that his father would went hunting in the wood. His father interrupted him and told him to stop feeding and playing because the bear-mother might come to get her cup and might hurt him. He was not happy but kept him safe and he followed his father back home.
