"Life is beautiful when you consider yourself as the observer."

     Premika Bulakul (Gink / 1986) had observed herself and found her passion since she was a little girl. She always sticks to the writing such as: poet, articles, lyrics and almost everything on her mind. She grew up in the artist’s family, surrounded with Thai and Western dancers, Thai musician, drawing artists and photographers relatives. With no surprise, she started to learn Ballet when she was 4 years old, taught by her own auntie, Pornpimol Kantatham. When she was 15 years old, her auntie had trained her to be a Ballet Instructor. She had been dancing and teaching Ballet until she graduated from Chulalongkorn University, from the Faculty of Fine and Applied Arts, Majoring in Western Dance.

     Nonetheless, she never gave up on her dreams to be a writer. She regularly sent her poem and articles to a poetry website.

     Writing and dancing were the best ways to express herself in order to convey her unspoken words. During the first jobber period, her friend, Jathuporn Damrongwanich who worked in the online agency industry had encouraged her to follow her dreams by assigning her the role of Content Editor. A few years later, she got a job and got promoted to be an Online Creative Copywriter. After 4 years of fantastic experience with the thing she loved, in 2014, she thought it was time to explore new things and closed this chapter of her life.

     Premika discovered more of what she likes to do. She likes to travel alone toward places far from society in order to get out of her comfort zone. From traveling, she obtained countless opportunities to talk with people from various jobs, various races, or locals with different viewpoints from urban people. It allowed her to understand the difference of people as individuals, including the differences of cultures and attitudes. Gathering new and fresh viewpoints had led her toward opening her mind and broadening her world view. She was also fascinated about the human soul: the more she talked with people, the more she was aware of the problems of society that haven’t been seriously solved. She frequently thought of what she can do for the society tomorrow more than she could today. She started with little things by changing her own behaviors, and expanding her challenge to the greater scale, such as joining the English Camp to educate the children in many provinces around the country from the mountains to the Southern Thailand.

     After a while, she decided to get the role of Online Acquisition Coordinator (Department of Fundraising) at Greenpeace Southeast Asia (GPSEA) in 2016, through the persuasion of her beloved friend, Isaree Wongkwanmuang, in order to use her writing talent and the knowledge of online skills to make people realize about their behaviors that impacted others and our world. Premika tried to take every chance she could to volunteer for any Greenpeace programs and activities. That was when she met Rod Paterson (Former Fundraising Director at GPSEA) and Anita Bacic (Independent Artist), his partner.

     In 2018, Premika expanded her capabilities in serving society as a Digital Marketing Coordinator of Community Children Foundation. At the same time, she reunited with her long lost friend, Natthaphon Chaiworawat. He passionately shared his idea about Open Source project to her. With his good intentions, Premika decided to support him in the founding this project, and has been devoting all her skills and experiences to OSAP since then.

     At the present time (2019), Premika continue to strengthen her skills by getting back to work in Digital Agency industry again as a Communications Manager, focusing on her writings to fulfill her desire.
