“Since becoming friends, we’ve never gossiped about anyone nor have any bad attitudes towards others. We just do our own thing. Gossiping wastes so much time.”
Dr. Padapassorn Padapiladdhanun (Manie)

“Good friendship starts with giving yourself, not objects. If you meet for the first time, be open-minded and don’t be scared. If we didn’t open up to each other, we wouldn’t have gone back with anything at all.” 
Prapaphan Teeraphan (Lisa)
