I could go on forever about Chalida :heart: Don't leave me now because my essay is going to be long :yes:
4HJHKK aired during my Freshman year in college and since it was CH3 first big project, I decided to search the cast while I was on my break in between classes. I was already familiar with some of the names from the main cast, however I did not take interest in anyone except Chalida. I Googled her name and this is the first picture I saw of her and thought she was super cute. I ended up doing more research on her.

I didn't watch the first two series because I waited to watch PLR so for the meantime, I re-watched Mark and Mint's BTS videos to pass time. There, I became a HUGE...i mean HUGE M&M fan. I stayed up many nights creating M&M videos on my YT channel lol Their BTS videos sold me in! PLR aired and I did not like the plot and Mint's acting wasn't as great either but I still liked her. While I waited for TD to film and air, I backtracked to watch her scenes from STJJKK, Dong Poo Dee and WJGNJY. Her acting in those dramas was way better than how she was in PLR. During the time with the new wave of newbies, I understood Mint was less popular compared to the other 4HJHKK girls. So when she became a Mistine presenter in 2011, I was soooooooooooooo proud of Mint!!! Her first Mistine ad made me very excited and happy for her because Mistine is a BIG product in Thailand. When she paired up with Pope in TD, it was bittersweet because I shipped her hard with Mark lol I ended up liking CHANAWAT because they were thee spunky couple who made TD bearable to watch. Mint's acting in TD surprised me because that girl was a badarse as Ploykwan. Then she got cast with Alex in RP. I wasn't too fond of him then but he proved me wrong. Alex is an excellent actor and since he and Mint basically grew up together, I gave Chalex a chance. They were super cute as Nammon and P'Pat :kiss3: Her acting improved each time she took on a new role regardless if she played second lead. M&M were cast in NM2 and my love for M&M grew even bigger. At that time I finally got an Iphone and Instagram which did me many favors because I got to know who Chalida is through Instagram. After the fall of NM2, my love for Chalida became fickle. I had a love/hate relationship with her around 12-13'. I guess getting involve in her personal life played a part in making me go baa because I wanted her to be with you know who. (LOL) Cutting this a bit short, I learned a lesson from shipping M&M. Don't get too involve with their personal life off-screen, FIN FIN on-screen dee kwa..mai jeb. I enjoyed Mint and James Ma in KCR and even once called them my true love. Again, I was impressed by her improvements in KCR. Mint's roles in CUBIC AND KTWJ were okay...i honestly did not finish both dramas. AND ABOUT CHADAOH, they truly stole my heart. OFF AND ONSCREEN!!! I respect that they both have a significant other sooo I can FIN as much as I want on-screen chai pa? hahhaa I FIN more with them than I ever did M&M and JM combined!!! lol

When I went to Thailand last year, Mint was the first person I wanted to meet. Thanks to her FC members who I KIT with made it possible for me to meet her. While waiting for Mint to arrive at the event, I was already shaking. She came up from the escalator with her mother and I went cray. hehe I waited in front of the store and her mother came out. I greeted her and told her who I was. K'Mae already knew who I was because she had followed me on IG before. Mint came out and I stuttered so much while talking to her. We both spoke Thai-lish to each other LOL I gave her the bouquet of roses I bought for her and gave her a tight squeeze. She's so little compared to me lol Throughout the whole event, her fc and I watched her closely as she, Pancake and Aff posed with one of the representative from the event. Mint was bombarded with a lot of reporters/interview after interview because at that time, the incident of her and Mark was still fresh and HOT. K'Mae May pat my shoulder and told me to follow her so I did as I was told. Mint walked in front of me and bam I was apart of her entourage keke We stopped at the front of the exit near the parking lot where we took photos with her and of her. I conversed with her mother more because Mint was busy with fans and me and her mother exchanged FB. One of Mint's admin/fan who I see all the time on IG came up to me and complimented me on my video skills and then Mint's mother showed Mint my "ipsmilez" name. Mint said "she has seen my name before." GAHHHHHHHHHHHH my knees went weak. We said our goodbyes and I went back to my sister's apartment as a happy and satisfied fangirl!

I did not expect to meet Chalida again. One of her fan informed me on IG about KTWJ opening ceremony and another LINE me the location. For the second meet, I showed up to KTWJ opening ceremony late because I had to travel all the way from where I stayed to Ch3 Noungkham. Mint was busy with interviews so I walked around the building and stayed with ChalidaFC. I walked inside to take pictures with Mark K(Sarit) and when I came out, Mint was walking pass the stairs and stopped when she saw me. She was surprised to see me. Mint gasped, smiled and grabbed my hand. She playfully swung my hand singing "hellooo, hellooo helloo." I totally died right there LOL I felt like a friend who came to support a friend that day instead of a fan
After our little greeting, she went back for more interviews. I went back inside the building and greeted K'Mae May. Towards the end, we took more pictures together. Mint asked me when I was leaving. I said in a couple of days and that I had to see her one more time before I leave lol I gave her another hug, wai K'Mae, P'Gun(her manager) and her fans before I left.
I died again when Mint commented "love u" on my IG. hehe I say after seeing her in person, I adore her even more. She came a long way. Mint started from the bottom and seeing her rise to the top makes me a very proud fan. And now after TSL, I see my gal shining even more, YOU GO GIRL. I'm a proud MAMA!!!
