...I bet that some people are curious why i call my self ROCK-STA✩R?. First of all i would like to say that, once i was working with a student program at the crag, and i heard somebody yelling at me from behind "you look like a rockstar," and i thought that was such a cool name that i really wanted to start calling myself something that would be VERY inspiring for me. Also I use to study journalism when i was in school, so i loved writing some things, but it was SUPER challenging for me. It tried to write in English (I am thankful for Jayne for helping me edit my work so proud of her). The last reason comes from my good friend JStar, I'd say that he's one of my inspirations, and really worth writing about, I want to share some of my inspiration and experience with everyone and why I am so MOTIVATED in my life and why I want to kick ass and accomplish my goals.

Am i do something wrong when i climb?

...The time goes by so fast… It has been one year already, since I started officially working for the Chaing Mai Rock Climbing Adventures, I have done so many things, some successful and other things I still need to work on, things I still need to work at in order to reach them. I've been finding myself so much this year, what i want to be and where I'd like to go. It took me a long time to realize that I really want to go on (BROADWAY=Pro Climber). I am setting my personal goals to kick ass the project 13c by next month, I am super psyched for that, I have to "Work hard and Climb hard". One year had passed and I've grown through a lot as an instructor and climber, I have learned so many things from my work. I've been able to develop the Crazy Horse Buttress and learned how to become a facilitator. My life has changed a lot and sometimes when I look back, everything seems totally different, I was kind of like a party boy, drink a shit load of beers, smoking cigarettes, i took every thing that was not good for my body (Shit! i think I’m gonna die young!)

...When i was young boy, I was surrounded by the best family that any one could ever have ever, my dad was a police man, my mom was a house mother, both of them were SUPER awesome people and they both inspire me so much, they were so supportive and encouraging towards me. We haven’t spent much together for a while, because my parents got a divorce but in the rest of life they're still good friends, and i never thought that i missed out on anything from them, it is kind of sad that our FAM didn't stay together when you see other fams but life goes on…

...Rockstar, at 23 years old! Wooh! I've been climbing almost 3 years now, but it was on and off in the first- two years, i started to dedicated my life to climbing during the last two months. I kind of like fell in love with climbing all over again, I'm so super STOKED to be crushing everything and saving up a ton of money to get on the climbing road trip as soon as possible=Radical.

I feel SUPER safe there!

We're real ROCKSTAR!

"WILD CAT"

...Since I started training, I didn't even have the day off at all, but it was worth it, thank you to the Chiang Mai climbing communities for everything, encouraging and supporting me, my good friends, I hope I can keep it up and make it to the next level Lately i just got my such a nice gift, new trail running shoes' la sportiva wild cat'. Thank you so much for Evan Chen, my friend for his kindness and helping me , I'm very stoked to wear it on. and go for running...SICK!!
