WATER WARS
The Ministry of Commerce announced official prices for bottled water sold nationwide after receiving numerous complaints from consumers about overpriced bottled drinking water, which resulted in the decision that a 500 to 600ml bottle should not cost more than 7 baht while a 1500ml bottle should not exceed 14 baht. 'Muse' asked you to share with us your choice of water consumption. Do you drink tap, filtered or bottled water and why? If you drink bottled water, do you think the price is reasonable? Here are your answers!

WALK THIS WAY
As a Thai student studying in the UK, what I've missed most about life on British shores during the holiday break back home in Bangkok is the whole "walking culture".

male box
WOMEN'S perspective on love is one of those things that is sometimes hard to make sense of. While middle-aged, mid-career men, for instance, attempt to create financial stability so that their relationship survives and if possible develops into a family, women might think otherwise. But to males like me, a relationship is something that both a male and female should help strengthen and develop so that it lasts.

It all starts with making the cut
While every local golfer understandably may dream of winning the Thailand Open and the coveted King's Trophy, the less romantic reality is that on the first two days of the tournament the players' minds are more concerned with simply making the cut.

FOR YOUR EYES ONLY
Because the eyes are the window to the soul, a lot of people will tend to look at your eyes in search of your soul. But it's likely that even before they get to see your beautiful soul, they are struck by the puffiness of your panda eyes that encircle the window to your soul. Just think of a clear beautiful window with a mud-soaked frame, would you even care to have a look?

Heart and soul
The parallel lives of two mixed-blood girls born during the Vietnam War are being portrayed onstage in Khao Nok Na: The Musical, from September 1 to 19 at Black Box Theatre. Based on a novel by Si Fah and staged by the Bangkok University Theatre Company, the story is of how girls born to US GI soldiers and Thai mothers are treated differently by society. Born to an African-American father, Dum (which literally means black in Thai) is discriminated against for her dark complexion but is gifted with a beautiful voice; while her friend, Duan (moon), is highly treated and destroyed by her angelic looks. Dum grows up with an angry soul and Duan grows up with a beautiful heart. But it is their hearts that bring them to different ways of life.

Smells like Old Spice
In case you haven't heard of Old Spice, they do men's products such as shaving soap and aftershave lotion. They started with a classic original scent in white glass bottles before changing to red plastic, branching out as deodorant sticks, body washes and sprays in several scents. Their shower gel is accompanied by the slogan "The original. If your grandfather hadn't worn it, you wouldn't exist." And whether you want to smell like Old Spice or not doesn't matter. The commercial for the brand, "The Man Your Man Could Smell Like", is nevertheless awesome. Yes, I'm talking about the famous, 10-million-views-plus series of commercials on YouTube. The commercials were done creatively with flawless use of sets and backdrops. The catchy whistle play goes well with the clip.

Building compact gardens
Many more city dwellers choose to live in "small boxes" such as condos or town houses near the skytrain or subway stations. However, living in a "box" does not necessarily mean losing green spaces. A new book, Small Garden, which is the first of the "I Love Garden" series, shows that anyone can own a beautiful garden in limited spaces. This 185-page book features more than 200 full-colour photos of 11 small yet beautiful gardens. It includes detailed plans and design ideas and techniques which are easy for those wanting to build their own gardens to understand and apply.

CLINGING TO THE CLASSICS
Autumn/Winter is never an easy season for the style-conscious inhabitants of a tropical country. We're not entitled to the chic heavy layering possible in colder climates since we can make do with a jumper-and-cardigan combo, and purchasing gorgeous fur and wool coats is beyond rational unless a European vacation is on the to-do list.
