body—to reconnect with it. Close your eyes and relax your body. Take a deep breath in, and as you inhale,

notice the breath entering through your nose, moving down your throat, into your chest, and filling your

abdomen. Then, as you exhale, let the breath out longer than usual.

Nothing is more important than right now, in this place. There’re no worries about the past, no anxieties about

the future. Let the stories of the past and future drift away from you in this moment.

Tell me, do you feel less anxious now?

1. The Objective of What is Music Therapy

Music therapy is a clinical practice that uses music to achieve therapeutic goals, such as improving

emotional, cognitive, and social well-being. It involves activities like listening, creating, or moving to music,

guided by a therapist to promote healing and enhance quality of life.

Imagine someone suffering from anxiety or stress. Through carefully chosen melodies and rhythms, music

therapy can help them find peace, release pent-up emotions, and feel more grounded.

2. Types of Music

Now, let’s talk about the types of music that can support healing. From personal experience, I’ve always loved

listening to music, especially pop, R&B, and K-pop.

But if I were to talk about one artist who has truly shaped my musical journey, it would be Taylor Swift. I’ve

been listening to her since I was a child, and her ability to weave raw emotions into her lyrics is incredible.

When I listen to her songs, it feels like she’s speaking directly to my heart.

3. Real-World Applications

Music therapy is applied in various settings, from hospitals and schools to rehabilitation centers and even in

daily life. Let me give you a few examples:

1. For Mental Health: Music therapy is widely used to support individuals with depression, PTSD, or anxiety.

2. Everyday Use: Even something as simple as creating a personalized playlist for relaxation or motivation is

a form of music therapy that we can all use.

3. From my personal experience: Music has been a crucial part of my academic journey. When studying feels

overwhelming, the support from my family and listening to music help me regain focus and calm my mind.

Before I start reading or preparing for an exam, I often listen to alpha wave music to set the mood and

improve concentration, either for a few minutes beforehand or softly in the background.

These examples show how versatile and impactful music therapy is, touching lives in many meaningful ways.

Here is a quick recap of the main points.

This tradition also promotes local arts and culture and helps promote tourism in Bueng Kan Province.

or the "Ninth Month Ceremony," is a longstanding tradition observed by the Isan people of Thailand. Typically held in August or September, this ritual involves making merit for ancestors and the deceased. The term "Khao Pradab Din" literally translates to "rice adorned on the ground."

As I said at the beginning, ASMR stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response. It’s a word

used to describe feelings: a tingling or goosebumps sensation on the scalp, neck, arms, or legs; however,

it depends on each person. When experiencing ASMR sensations, some people feel relaxation, calmness,

sleepiness, or well-being. ASMR can include sounds, visuals, or even light touches.

Let's move on to: Types and Variety of ASMR

Today, I have prepared 4 main types of ASMR for you.

1. Sounds: Gentle whispering, scratching, and mouth sounds are all good sounds for ASMR.

Natural sounds, such as rain and ocean waves, are also triggers for some people.

2. Visuals: Some people can experience feelings of ASMR with the right visuals. For example, videos of

painting, hand movements, or cutting soft objects.

3. Role-play: ASMR creators will take on roles such as a dentist or hairstylist.

4. Eating: It's about watching and listening to people eat food with a crunchy or soft texture.

feel calm and satisfied.

moment and feel better.

Basic Tools and Products

Makeup is an art, and like any artist, you need the right tools. Here’s a quick guide to the essential products:

• Primer: Before applying makeup, don’t forget to use a primer to prep your skin.

• Foundation: To even out your skin tone. It comes in different forms—liquid, powder, or cream.

• Mascara: To define your lashes and make your eyes pop.

• Eyeshadow: To add depth and dimension to your eyes.

• Blush: To add a natural flush of color to your cheeks.

• Lipstick or Lip Gloss: To enhance your lips.

• Brushes and Tools: A variety of brushes for application, blending, and precision.

These are the basics, and they can be used in combination to create various looks.

Now that we’ve covered the basics, let’s talk about how makeup can enhance your natural beauty and boost your confidence.

Makeup is not about changing who you are; it’s about accentuating your favorite features. Whether it’s highlighting your eyes, adding a pop of color to your lips, or defining your cheekbones, makeup is a tool for celebrating who you are. It helps you embrace your uniqueness.

For example, a simple swipe of mascara can make your eyes appear larger and more awake. A little blush can bring a youthful glow to your complexion. These little enhancements can help you feel more confident in your skin.

Now, let’s dive into the techniques for building confidence through makeup. Here are some key points to consider:

            1.         Makeup as a Form of Self-Expression

Makeup allows you to express your individuality and creativity. Whether you prefer a bold red lip or a subtle nude, it’s all about showcasing your personality.

  I remember the first time I tried bright red lipstick. At first, I was nervous, but once I wore it, I felt powerful and confident, as though I could conquer the world.

            2.         Makeup is More Than Enhancing Appearance—it’s a Way to Practice Self-Care

Taking time to care for your appearance can also be a form of nurturing your mental health.

  During tough times, I found that spending just 10 minutes on my makeup routine helped me feel better, like I was taking care of myself and ready to face the world again.

            3.         Confidence Isn’t About Being Perfect

True confidence comes from embracing our imperfections. It’s about being comfortable in our skin, flaws and all.

  In the past, I worried if my eyeliner wasn’t perfect or if my foundation looked uneven. Over time, I learned that confidence comes from accepting imperfections—they make us unique and beautiful.

            4.         The Makeup Journey is About Learning and Growing

As you practice, you learn what works best for you and develop your own style.

    When I first started, I followed makeup tutorials online, but my results were never quite what I expected. However, with practice, I figured out my personal style and what looks best on me.

Finally, here are some tips for maintaining a confident mindset with makeup:

            1.         Always focus on what makes you feel good, not what others think.

            2.         Remember, confidence comes from within; makeup is just an enhancement.

            3.         Practice gratitude for your unique features—it’s about celebrating, not comparing.

One of the core lessons from Miss Universe is the power of confidence. Contestants come from different backgrounds, cultures, and experiences, but what unites them is their ability to believe in themselves. They remind us that true confidence is cultivated through dedication, hard work, and resilience.

Additionally, Miss Universe serves as a stage for addressing important global issues. Contestants use their platforms to advocate for causes they are passionate about, such as education, gender equality, and climate change. Their efforts demonstrate that beauty is not just about appearance but also about making a meaningful impact on the world.

Perhaps the most profound lesson is the importance of facing challenges with courage. Miss Universe teaches us to stand firm in our beliefs, overcome obstacles, and embrace our uniqueness. Contestants often share personal stories of struggle and triumph, inspiring others to never give up on their dreams.

In the end, Miss Universe reminds us all that we possess the power to create change, both within ourselves and in the world around us. It is a celebration of not only external beauty but also inner strength, purpose, and the drive to make a difference.

Thailand consists of four different regions: the North, the Northeast, the Central region, and the South. Each region has its own unique geography and climate, which significantly influence the culture and traditional dress of its people.

Starting with the North:

The traditional dress of the North reflects the ethnicity and diversity of the local people. Northern women typically wear a Lanna sarong paired with colorful, round-necked blouses featuring beautiful patterns. Men commonly wear long trousers and a round-necked, short-sleeved blue cotton shirt called a morhom.

Moving to the Central region:

The attire in the Central region blends traditional and modern styles, often featuring elegant silk tube skirts and tailored blouses suitable for formal and casual occasions.

Next is Northeast (Isaan):

In this region, traditional clothing is primarily made from hand-woven fabrics, such as cotton and silk. Weaving is a popular pastime in Isaan. Men often wear dark-colored, short-sleeved shirts with knee-length pants and use a loincloth as a sash around their waist. Women typically wear woven sarongs that cover the body, paired with colorful, open-necked blouses.

Finally, the South:

The hot, equatorial climate of the South influences the preference for simple, loose cotton clothing. Southern clothing styles are similar to those in Malaysia and Indonesia due to the similar weather. Famous local fabrics from the South include tie-dyed cloth, brocade, chuantani cloth, Phum Rieng silk, and batik.

Then, this leads me to my next point, which is the different styles worn on various occasions, and conclusions.

Thai Traditional Dresses for Women

Ruean Ton:

A casual two-piece dress often worn for religious ceremonies or non-official functions. It consists of a silk tube skirt with embroidery at the hem, paired with a collarless blouse with elbow-length sleeves and buttons down the front.

Chakkri:

A grand and elegant dress suited for formal occasions. It features a long silk tube skirt with two front pleats and a sabai, a silk wrap draped over one shoulder that trails to the ground. The fabric is often made with the yok weaving technique, which creates a thicker texture, sometimes enhanced with gold or silver threads.

Siwalai:

A formal evening gown commonly worn at royal ceremonies or functions. It consists of a long tube skirt with pleats, sewn together with a blouse featuring buttons down the front and elbow-length sleeves. A sabai completes the outfit for a regal look.

Thai Traditional Dresses for Men

Suea Phraratchathan:

This formal attire was introduced in 1979. It features a button-up shirt with a long collar and varying sleeve lengths. For formal occasions, men wear long-sleeved versions paired with Western-style suit trousers and a sash.

Thai Dresses Today

In 2003, Her Majesty Queen Sirikit, the Queen Mother, revived the Thai fashion industry by opening the Queen Sirikit Museum of Textiles in Bangkok. The museum, located within the Grand Palace grounds, showcases her collection of prestigious textiles and works handcrafted by Thai artisans.

At its core, positive thinking is about focusing on possibilities, not obstacles. It’s a mindset that encourages gratitude, self-belief, and a focus on solutions. This perspective has been key to the success of many, such as J.K. Rowling who persevered through multiple rejections before finding success with Harry Potter, and Thomas Edison, who saw each failure as a lesson, famously saying, “I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.”

On a personal note, my dad taught me that every problem has a solution. He always emphasized that our ability to overcome challenges depends on our mindset and how we choose to approach them.

This movie is Built in 1996 And new modify in 2024 ago. I went to watch it without  any expectations but When I finished watching it.I felt that the actors performed well and the story is not boring There are also some thoughts given us.

So, that’s all about EXO, aespa, and RIIZE, the groups from SM Entertainment that are important in the K-pop industry.

I would like to concluded by EXO aespa RIIZE , let me sum up my main points:

• EXO shows lasting success and worldwide impact.

• aespa shows creativity and flexibility.

• RIIZE shows new talent and potential.

In the end, K-pop’s success comes from its creativity, ability to bring cultures together, and making memorable music.

I encourage you to explore how music can play a therapeutic role in your life. Start with the songs that resonate with you and notice how they impact your mood and mind. As Taylor Swift once said, “Music is my

therapy, and my fans are my release.” Let’s embrace music as a universal language that helps us heal and grow.

That brings me to the end of my presentation. Thank you for your time and attention today. I hope you’ve gained valuable insights into the world of music therapy, and I wish you all a harmonious and healing

journey ahead!

ASMR can come in different forms, including sounds like whispering or rain, visuals like watching painting or cutting objects, role-play such as a hairstylist or dentist, and eating sounds like crunchy or soft-textured food.

Let’s start with a brief history. Korean cuisine has evolved over centuries, shaped by geography, climate, and cultural influences. Known for its balance of flavors, it features fresh ingredients and fermented staples like kimchi, celebrated for its health benefits.

In this section, we will explore three main aspects of Korean cuisine:

1. History and Culture of Korean Food

Korean food reflects the country’s agricultural heritage and seasonal eating habits. Staple ingredients like rice, vegetables, and fermented products have been at the core of Korean meals for generations. The royal court cuisine of the Joseon Dynasty also played a role in shaping many traditional dishes we see today.

2. Popular Korean Dishes

Some of the most well-known Korean dishes include:

• Bibimbap – A mixed rice dish with vegetables, meat, egg, and gochujang (Korean chili paste).

• Bulgogi – Marinated grilled beef with a sweet and savory flavor.

• Tteokbokki – Spicy rice cakes, a famous street food in Korea.

These dishes highlight the rich flavors and variety found in Korean cuisine.

3. Korean Food Abroad

Korean food has gained international popularity due to the influence of K-pop, Korean dramas, and social media. Countries like Thailand have seen a rise in Korean restaurants and food stalls, offering authentic Korean flavors to a global audience. The demand for Korean ingredients and dishes continues to grow, making Korean cuisine a global phenomenon.

In conclusion, Korean cuisine is more than just food—it is a reflection of history, culture, and tradition. From its ancient roots to its modern-day popularity, Korean food has evolved while maintaining its unique identity.

The history and culture of Korean food, its iconic dishes, and its growing global influence show how deeply food connects people across different backgrounds. Whether through a simple bowl of bibimbap or a plate of tteokbokki, Korean cuisine continues to bring joy and cultural exchange worldwide.

Now, after learning about the rich flavors and fascinating history of Korean food, I encourage you to experience it for yourself! Visit a Korean restaurant, try making a dish at home, or explore new flavors beyond what you’re familiar with. Who knows? You might discover a new favorite dish that you’ll fall in love with.

Thank you for your time, and I hope you enjoy your own Taste of Seoul!

The group has faced several challenges over the past few years due to controversies

involving its members. One of the most significant events was the departure of Lucas, a

member of NCT and WayV, following allegations from fans that led to his exit from the

group. Additionally, Taeil, a former member, was charged with a criminal offense related to

sexual misconduct, resulting in his removal from the group by the company. These incidents

had a significant impact on NCT and its reputation at the time.
