Sawatdeekah!
First of all, My name is Tinna [hence the name of my web site]. I was born in Thailand and raised in the United States. My mother is Thai and my father is of Irish descent. I speak very little Thai [puht nitnoi]. My mom tried to teach my sister and I to speak Thai, but we were too stubborn to learn. Besides, I was "daddy's little girl" and spent most of my time with my English speaking father.
Currently, I have Stage IV Cervical CA. I have been undergoing chemotherapy treatments for several months now.
I shaved my head before my hair fell out, so I wouldn't go through the emotional trauma. It worked!
My mom says I look like a Thai nun~ especially when I wear white. She thinks I'm adorable this way, and I appreciate her sentiments. She's right. I am cute. With or without hair.
I do believe without a doubt that I will beat this. There's too many things in life that I have yet to experience. [Smile.]
Here's a short list of my likes & dislikes. Perhaps we'll have a few things in common.
If not, who cares, right?
