This is Not My Beautiful Life

Posted by Amateur Blogs

I have a unique first name. As such, I get emails from people thinking I’m someone else. Additionally, this site receives search traffic from people looking for “Chanya.” Therefore, I thought I’d start the year by setting the record straight about “Chanya.”

This Chanya is not:

  • The 21 year old Canadian Chanya on MySpace.com with 410 friends.
  • The 24 year old Chanya “The Body” in Miami Beach, Florida.
  • The Chanya from MyChanya.com who’s a personal trainer and the founder of Chanya Pro Fitness. Looking at her picture though I definitely need to hire her. Like yesterday.
  • The Chanya from Chanya’s Traditional Thai Massage, a massage parlor in Pai. No happy endings here. Or at least, not in the massage parlor . . . the one that I don’t own . . . because that’s not me.
  • The 3 Chanya’s that have travel blogs.
  • The Chanya that owns Chanya’s Gems. Although if you are that Chanya, can I get a family discount?
  • And lastly, no, the tough but sweet prostitute Chanya from the book Bangkok Tattoo was not based on me. I can, however, be tough but sweet.

This Chanya is in fact:

  • A horrible singer.
  • A part-time jewelry maker.
  • A fairly cynical but often charitable (there’s the tough but sweet) female born and raised in North Carolina.
  • Easily distracted.
  • Embarrassed that she just found out this wasn’t a do-follow site. Sorry, I just installed the LinkLuv plugin.
  • A lover of all things Radiohead.
  • Immensely appreciative of the friends she’s made in the blogosphere!

Jug: Actually, there are a bunch of other Chanyas. I could understand if my name was Jane!

Anyway, glad you were able to visit.

Everyone has this problem about name but noone is as funny as Chanya.
I have the same name as a lot of big VIPs in my country.
