BE MY PRINCESS

BE MY PRINCESS

“Be My Princess” is a heartfelt, nostalgic love ballad that serves as a tribute to a cherished high school memory. The song’s narrative centers on the my teenage crush on a girl who was not only beautiful, young, and academically brilliant but also wonderfully down-to-earth.

The story focuses on nervousness and ultimate pride in successfully asking her to slow dance at a school disco. This moment, characterized by her irresistible “cutest smile,” became an indelible, joyful memory that my wishes could last eternally. The lyrics directly reference these specific feelings and details, celebrating this simple act of courage as the start of their “crazy love story.” The song is a reflection that continues to paint a “big smile” on my face years later.

CRAZY IN LOVE

This is the story of a man who defies logic, distance, and public opinion in pursuit of love. Inspired by a childhood memory of a friend who traveled ten thousand miles to chase an extraordinary girl, the narrator reflects on the power of deep, unwavering devotion. The man in the story is driven by pure emotion — willing to risk embarrassment, rejection, and ridicule just to be near the one who makes his heart race. While others call his actions silly or obsessive, he sees them as necessary steps toward happiness. For him, love is not about being understood — it’s about being true to what he feels. “Crazy in Love” is a tribute to those who dare to follow their hearts, no matter how irrational it may seem to the world.

GOING TO LAOS

GOING TO LAOS

This is the heartfelt journey of a Lao person who has spent most of their life overseas, returning only briefly to their homeland. Though they have visited a handful of provinces—including Vientiane, Luang Prabang, Champasak, and Savannakhet—their time has always been too short to truly explore Laos in its entirety.

With a deep longing to reconnect with their roots, they dream of traveling across all 17 provinces, from the northern mountains of Phongsaly to the southern fields of Champasak, their birthplace. Their bucket list highlights four provinces in particular—Bokeo, Houaphanh, Xaisomboun, and Sainyabuli—each offering unique landscapes, traditions, and cultural treasures.

More than just a travel plan, this story reflects a search for belonging and identity. Despite living abroad for most of their life and sometimes facing questions about their ethnicity, they affirm their Lao heritage with pride. The journey across Laos is not only about seeing new places, but also about rediscovering themselves, embracing their culture, and fulfilling a lifelong promise: to truly know the land that made them who they are.
