Falling in Love and Having your hair cut?

Have you ever wondered why a person who has a new short hair cut would be asked whether s/he failed? Many Thai story films demonstrate such belief. For example, "Close-friend," which elucidates an intimate relationship between a couple - male and female - who has been studying in the same class for four years, witnesses this idea. While a man falls in love his close friend, but never let her know, she consideres him as solely a friend with whom she can share everything.

His love has been kept in his mind like a skelaton in the closset for several years! After finishing his final exam in the last year, he expresses to her that "I love you." She feels very surprised and she replies: "Why have you just told me at this time?" It implies that it might be too late to inform her because her soul is not empty.

A man walks from Chiangmai University to train station and ride a train to Bangkok, suddently. It might be the longest distance in his life that he has ever walked! When arriving at Bangkok, he has his hair cut as a new military man and takes a journey to the Southern part of Thailand. You can guess that where his soul is; correctly, it is still staying in Chiangmai. After getting an injure from an accident, he meets a nurse, namely Nui, who falls in love him instantly. Even though he still loves the former one, he decides to choose the latter whom he considers that she whole-heartedly dedicates herself to his life. I think it is the right call!

However, I still wonder why we have to have our hair cut after we are dissappointed with the love or hope. Do we want to change our own characteristics or outlook? Supposedly, I have been in the same boat with this man, I cannot percieve the point that I have to do likewise as the story mentioned above! Actually, love is all around the world. If you cannot complete your love mission with whoever, you should have learnt to love the new one.

Pertinently, you might have to learn to love youself! Don't let anyone be influent on your life! Love yourself!

Happy New Year 2007!

I have just come back from X'Mas celebration's 06-07 with my friends at UIUC. This new year is looming while my job needs to be done as soon as possible.










What my job is that I need to complete my dissertation about criminal procedure:

Comparative Confession Admissibility between Civil law and Common law countries.

I have completed my 5 chapters since August 06 till now. The four chapters are left for me to write.






I found that I need some free time to break my brain. I cannot pay utmost attention all the time to do it.

Last week, I have rarely done anything about it. My soul requires that "you need to take a rest."

I decided not to do anything seriously during last week. What I did was to review all chapters slowly, page by page. That is it!




I have been to Chicago for a few days! It has never dissappointed me! Chicago is the heaven where is always beautiful.

Those pictures I took by myself! I love them very much. Hope that whoever coincidentally coming across my blog will like it!

Happy New Year 2007!

The Pursuit of Happiness!

Yesterday, I have watched a movie namely something like pursuit of happiness. This movie narrates one’s human right to pursue what the ordinary human has never really got it. It is the happiness!

This movies instigates the ordinary persons like me to think “we should never give up, and we have to persue the happiness.” Indeed, nobody knows what the heck real happiness is. Each opens the road and follow one’s mind to reach it! When a normal person reaches what one has imagines that will be the last resource s/he yearns for, s/he feels that it is not what one’s wants! S/he, as a result, has never got it over and over.

One has to pursue the so-called “happiness” for whole the rest of life. Due to the internal fact that human has never know what really engenders her/his happiness, s/he will run around one’self to find out the new thing to complete the hole that s/he consideres imcomplete! But s/he might have never know what it is? Likewise, when we pursue someone we love, we like, or we just care, we might follow her/him without thinking the obstruction ahead.

However, when we got it, we might consider s/he is not good enough! It might be not because s/he is not as “good” as what we want in effect, but it is because our minds have never reached the acknowlegement what we want. It is indeed we have never know to stop luscious feeling, rather than the fact we assert!

Let pursue our hope and happiness! Hope that you guys can find out what you want and reach it. Hope more that you guys will learn how to stop pursuing when you haver already had!

What am I doing here?

Hey guys!

I just want to stop by my blog that even I myself have not visited somewhat ......long time. Do you know, I am very busy - reading and writing - everyday! It is my job to complete my dissertation. 7 days a week, I keep doing it! I confess, in deed, it is very boring but no alternative choice! What I can do is just trying to think positively that it is fun to read many books, articles and secure those beneficial ideas to formulate the" new one" on behalf of my own!

I accidentally figure out other dissertations that is fairly similar to me. He was a judge in Israel and a SJD student at NYU School of Law. He wrote his dissertation about the confession admissibility in major leading legal system, composing of the United States, United Kingdom, and others in civil law countries such as German and Russia! Even though he wrote it in 1972, it is still workable and very useful. Surprisingly, his ideas and mine are coindentally similar!

My dissertation is relating to the Confession Admissibility as well. In my proposal outline, the legal concepts of the United States, England, Canada will be enunciated to compare with other civil law countries, but I pick up some European countries such as Germany and France as well as some Asian Countries such as Korea and Japan. The rationale of my selection is that Thai legal system has been influence from Germany and France as well as those two common law countries - America and England. Korea and Japan as well as Thai are influenced by the religious ideal of Buddhism; those countries still share the idea of constitutionalism and "democracy."

Study those legal systems might be useful to reconsider about Thai legal system. In present era, Thailand sham to assert its legal concept as the most progressive especially in criminal procedure area of law. It prohibits using a confession statement obtained instantly after arrest as evidence ! Very interesting, right? While other countries around the world consider confession suddenly given to police after being arrested is reliable because s/he does not have time to think about lying or its defense. Confession in this instan is trustworthiness and should be the strongest evidence to prove the defendant's guilt! Thailand seeks to rule it out by the present Criminal Procedure Code under section 84 clause 4.

While England adopted the Act in 2003 to allow the court to use co-defendant's confession statement as evidence to convict the defendant in the same proceedings, Thailand cuts the judicial discretion to admit such confession as evidence. While English rule under the Act of 2005 entitles absolute powers to police to arrest and release the accused on bail at the crime scence, etc, Thailand seeks to eliminate all police power and has not provided any tool to beat the crime! What are the reasons behide the bar? Police misconducts in Thailand might contribute to this phenomon! But, you know! Police misconducts are the normal phenomena in other countries as well. Then, we might have to think what the best ways to deal with this problem are! We do not forget that innocent has the right too! Society has limited resources! And there are various values that conflict one another that we have to cope with in the best solution !

The, we might have to reconsider whether this new law (2004) is the best solution for Thailand! Many questions may ensue from this law as followings examples! Did the policy-maker think or be cautious about the victims' rights? Did they consider about the effectiveness of law enforcement officer to prevent the crime? Did they forget that they were in charge of the duties to protect the innocent people from the criminal who violated and destroyed the social order? Did they .....whatever should be to balance the individual suspect's rights and right of society to convict the wrongdoer who broke the social peace and other relating values? Did the criminal justice would be disreputed because the system let the wrong go free on the high social costs?

There are many questions should be concerned prior to making any policy. Deeply studying about the legal concepts, the potential undesirable outcome stemming form the policy, etc, should be conducted! Thailand may need more the sophisticated legal scholars and criminlogist to reconsider and integrated both pure science and applied knowledge to reconstruct the legal policy to reach policy to balance various values! Hope that my study will be part of those and useful in the future!

Please MY LORD BUDDHA blesses you guys and please entitles me the enlightenments
