The early life of Ms. Joanna Ainscough part 1

I was born and raised in Thailand where we call ourselves " The Land of Smile". I was the first child but it was not for too long because I got another little brother within 2 years. Sigh... that was not so fun about that part. I needed all attention from my parents longer than that.



I was a mohawk girl when I was young, imagine that? Nooooooo, I was kidding about my hair only. I did not have much hair when I was young and my hair was also very fine with the medium brown color. That's why I looked like a mohawk girl like that. In fact, most of the time people could not tell if the child in the picture was me or my brother. I looked like a boy too much when I was young. TT..TT

Everybody must have this kind of picture on top of that no one would miss to have the family portrait with your first child. Of course, I got that chance as well and this is my first family portrait with mom and dad when I was a toddler.



The picture was taken in the old fashion studio that will have a curtain be a backdrop to give you a formal look. By that time it was pretty famous in Thailand. Dad was in the suit that he wore in the wedding day and mom was in the long formal dress that she modified from her wedding gown. I think you could tell that my dad looked pretty tall in the picture. Yes, my family is a big guy including me who is quite big and tall for Thailand. My dad was 6 feet tall but because my mom was only 5 feet 1 inch so I could not enough height to be a super model, hehe... I am only 5 feet and 6 inches girl.

I used to take this picture to trick my friends and coworkers when I was in Thailand about myself. I told them I was a daughter of a German military guy from The WW2 and of course, most of my friends who were not so close to me believed about it. They looked at me and looked back to the picture again and again. At the end they mostly said, " Yes, you are right. You looked a lot like your dad and he got the figure of the German guy.". Don't you think it is funny or I look like half German-Thai? Then one day when I got older I met a guy who was a little younger than my dad but looked exactly like him and he is German, imagine that!

Who I am? Come on in and you will know me more....

Hello everybody. Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today. My name is Ms. Joanna Ainscough and I am Thai girl and have been here in Florida for about 6 years since before Christmas of 2008. I am now living my life waaaaaaaaaaaaay happier than what I could imagine over 2 years ago.

I came from Thailand and of course, I was raised over in Asia with a lot of strict Asian cultures from my parents. We are a lot different in almost everything in the past and not so much right now as far as I know. My life in Thailand since I was young was simple and happy. I was surrounded by love and care from family and friends since I was a little girl.


I am the eldest child and I have one younger brother. Not so sure if I should call him little brother since he is always bigger than me especially now. He is over 180 pounds and about 6 feet and 2 inches which is pretty big for Thailand. The picture above is the picture of me when I was young and my brother's twin daughters ( Their names are "I" and "Am".)who everybody has known me since I was young said, " They look like auntie Ann more than their own parents.". Right now they are about going to be 2 years old next month and of course, they are SUPER talkative. Nobody can walk pass them without greeting and introducing themselves. Here is the usual introducing from them, I & Am.

Hello, how are you doing. My name is " I " and my name is " Am". We are twins. Nice to meet you.

Definitely with huge smiles and the prettiest giggling noise from these little two girls. No doubt about that kind of noise from these two girls. I am sure you all could tell from how they look and their eyes, don't you?

Nooooooo.... that is not enough. I actually have 3 nieces and I don't think I have to tell you if the eldest one is the talkative kind as well, do I? The eldest one is turning 5 years old and she is in the kindergarten already. Her name is " Aim" it was shorten from full nickname " Cha- aim" which means liquorice or licorice. They all are in the same school because this one has preschool also. Lucky them that the parents don't have to drive them around to drop off two different schools. Otherwise they have to wake up a lot earlier to be at school on time.






Here is the gang of my family. I can't imagine how my brother and my sister in law handle this much especially all of them are just the talkers. They talk ALL THE TIME!!! 

We alway be on Skype or Line vdo call with my family and what I always saw on the screen was these little girls' faces partially. Would you understand when I say " partially"? They all competed each other to get more attention and be closer to the screen. May be one day I will capture the screen to show you.

Oh... well. I think I have gone to far from myself to my nieces already. Anyway, I think it is always fun to talk about children. Next time I will talk more about myself and we will know each other more. Thank you again for stopping by and we will talk again later.
