The ASEAN Hive VIP Lounge is very funky in more ways than one this week due to durian disco ball, providing funky smells and a funky groove.

🕺 Durian Disco Ball Dazzles 🪩

     The VIP Lounge is a little behind schedule this week due to the chaotic lifestyle of the USA, allowing us very little free time for ourselves and ASEAN Hive duties. I commissioned a durian disco ball recently, and now it hangs in the VIP Lounge ballroom, spurring a flurry of disco dancing, and the body odor of us VIP dancers is negated by the durian funk.

     We hung the durian from a very strong steel cable, but it's probably still wise not to dance directly under it. Somebody also mentioned the durian is leaking, so beware of the sticky puddle in the middle of the dancefloor. All in all it seems like a good idea, but we will have to eventually remove the durian disco ball when it begins decomposing, so enjoy it while it lasts folks.

My dog is a "luxury puppy."

by: @gooddream - ASEAN HIVE 💎 VIP DIAMOND

^{(ᴇxᴄᴇʀᴘᴛ)} In the absence of any sort of actual family members that live less than 10,000 km from me and also the fact that I actively chase off anyone who might be thinking of having a romantic relationship with me, I tend to focus a great deal of my time, energy, and money, on making my fluff-ball AKA "Nadi" as comfortable as possible and happy all the time. She has always known luxury to a certain degree so, much like a spoiled rotten rich kid, I don't think she is even aware of how good she has it.

Food is heaven !! Anyone know what it being called in Thai?

by: @tommyl33 - ASEAN HIVE VIP 💿 PLATINUM

^{(ᴇxᴄᴇʀᴘᴛ)} I’ve always loved food—and honestly, who doesn’t? Especially when it comes to good food! Thailand offers a huge variety of dishes, and of course, I’m always excited to try as many as I can—especially the street food. But that enthusiasm gets a little toned down when I’m traveling with my wife. She’s not a big eater, so sometimes the food ends up on my plate instead. Plus, she’s a bit picky when it comes to choosing where to eat—especially when it comes to cleanliness.

July Jackpot: 7/11’s One-Day Discount Bonanza

by: @vinzie1 - ASEAN HIVE VIP 👑 GOLD

^{(ᴇxᴄᴇʀᴘᴛ)} Last two weeks ago, there was a big big sale in one of the store that I am always looking to and that is the 7/11 store. There lots of different kinds of items that are on sale and most of them were sold at 50% of their original price. I think there were more than 400+ that are on sale at that time. You might wonder on why they are having a big sale with a big discount on their store, it was because it's July 11th.

Let's have some "PORK GINAGMAY"!

by: @arashi0416 - ASEAN HIVE VIP 🥈 SILVER

^{(ᴇxᴄᴇʀᴘᴛ)} Have a great and blissful day/evening to all Hiveans!! Let's have some "PORK GINAGMAY"! Pork Ginagmay or Ginamay is a Filipino stew just like menudo, but only differs in the size of the cuts of pork and veggies. In ginagmay, we cut the pork and veggies into small pieces. The name "ginagmay" itself means small or cut into tiny pieces, in Cebuano. So, here's my version of "pork ginagmay". Let's have a look at it.

Beautiful Sunday - Cooking Challenge With Students

by: @crazygal - ASEAN HIVE VIP 🥉 BRONZE

^{(ᴇxᴄᴇʀᴘᴛ)} The activities of the school helped me a lot in my process of moving on. Yes, this place is the part of my life supposed to leave to forget all the beginning of how our love started but I realized that this place is a big factor also for the bestof me as a teacher. The place is so cool, God chosen this for my health survival. So I stay calm and appreciate the beauty of the surrounding with the nice people around me. It's only one lacking versus some may reasons to be happy.
