Few Shots

sitting in front of a small shopping stall, I can see how people spend their day in the morning, especially during the new year. The girl wearing in red T-shirt and nice jean with cans of beer and bottles of fresh water just came back from Pagoda nearby. She sell drinks at night in Pagoda campus. It was the last days of the new years and I supposed that she might return the unsold drinks to the store from which she bought.

This year, I did spend time enjoying the New Year much longer than other previous years. Unfortunately, I met few friends only, making the great time less enjoyable! Yet, I like it.

Public Administration Reform statement

Male Or Female?

Are you male or female?

I hardly believe that state-of-the-art technology can completely change male to female. Is it possible to do that in last seven year?

Much More than a feeling!

Khmer New Year is coming soon again. A kind of feeling I have had in the past two years seems to come back. I made phone call to friends and family members to say happy new year. Everyone hope to go somewhere with friends or family members during this auspicious occasion, it is joyful enough if we can arrange such a nice schedule for this. I myself will also go to my homeland in Takeo and hope to meet some friends there. What I want is to get a local feeling on a soil I grown up. I like sitting in a chair just next to the road and see people wearing different interesting clothes. Some might use bike just to go to a nearby pagoda, while some use motorbike. What I could imagine is those people I know will call my neck name which most of people here just use a formal one.

It would be cheerful in the morning I guess since many people might hire a taxi or a big truck to go to further areas. Unfortunately, my parents will rarely allow me to go with them because sometimes the car meet accident causing serious injure or even lost the life. Therefore, we just use motorbike to go around.

Every body need a warmth feeling with family, especially with parents. I really enjoy having lunch and dinner with family members and few of my nieces and nephews and basically we just watch TV at night. Oh..I might going out with friends to Pagoda and have a chit chat and drink something.

Hardly someone knows you are sad, if you smile!

Out of Modernity??

I feel abit supise to see my hometown once more time during two years I have never come back home. I thought I was in the ancent time, I feel like this place is so traditional. I can see people walking to market carrying a basket of vegetables, like water green, water lily etc on their head toward the market. I almost cannot reconized some small children I saw the last two years, they grow every fast, however the old people stay almost exactly the same. I feel  life at the countryside is so relax and peaceful.

The modernity and challenges are gone litle by litle when we go further to the rural areas, but instead I got a very peaceful feeling the moment that I see things out of the science like cows, buffalos, palm trees, coconut palm and  green rice fields and so on. I do miss such the picture!! People creat modernity and science and destroy the nature and the peaceful way of living. How many people want the word to come back to anciet time where there is no care, no motobike but only walking and seeing only trees and animals something like that? At least I know one person who perfer to be that way and do not want any revolution of the technology anymore. I somehow agree. PP nowaday is said to be the place of materialism, people keep on competition on each other and are not care of each other. The mateial needs of this soceity are great leaving behind the disadvantage-background and marginalized people in danger!

Scorching Day and Cheerful Kota Summer Festival 2007

Kota town is located in Aichi prefecture. It is such a place surrounding by mountains. Every summer, it celebrates the Kota summer festival. I have a chance to join this festival last year and this year during the summer season. img_0183.jpg

Young people enjoy wearing summer clothes which fit with their summer sandals. It is not more than just a look but represents a real sense of a scorching day with a cheerful summer occasion. This festival is like a mixed-cultural event which we can feel the culture from different countries. Unforgettably, Cambodian Student Association in Nagoya has made its best to tighten the friendship of culture and culture, people and people and country and country between Cambodia and Japan. Kota association has invited Cambodian students in Nagoya to perform Khmer traditional dance every year. Some good shots at the event are worth seeing and remembering.

The Value of Money?

What is the real value of Money? Some people think that money is important while the others deny it. Some say money is the root cause of evils and so on. People work for money. People do daily activities because of money. Some people get married because of money and some cannot get married because they do not have money neither. Workers try very hard each day because they want money to support themselves or their families. Fathers try to work to get some financial stability in families. Mothers also help just to find money for the families and sometimes they need help from their children just to find money.

After you graduate, you wish to work and have high-paying stable job.. If you get hungry and you cannot find something to eat by yourself, you need money otherwise you will die. A couple who just newly married try to work hard just to save money. You are poor or rich when you are calculated and measured by money. What is worse, some families decide to divorce because of the poverty from husband or wife. Money bring people apart. Money make you kill and make you steal. Money make you proud and the more you have the more you greedier, but the less you have the more you want it. Some young handsome men need money to drink alcohol or to go to night clubs. Some beg you for money. Some commit crime such as kidnapping, robbing etc just for money. When you get sick, if you don’t have money, you probably say goodbye to the world very soon.

Money is like a beautiful angel or girl;

Everyone need it and put it in the pocket or purse;

People are happy when you are with them;

So, why cannot you make this world a more wonderful place to live for some people?

Some people say money is everything some say money isn’t everything. Whatever stand you take, something can be for money but not everything. Money has its value, and everyone also has their own value. The question is does the value of money bigger than individual value?. Therefore, we can make a small logic that when you think that money is most valuable= your value<money. Now, you become a slave. If your value > money= your dignity cannot be measure by social materials or money.

Today’s society, money is needed to have some kind of quality of life. No one want to be under or have less value than someone else. Everyone should be clear that what is valuable to them. Money is not everything, but it just something. Then, do something that you should deserve money not do something just for money.

*Smile is always the beauty of life and tis priceless* :)

Women Are Hard To Please

The Problems With GIRLS:

 

Recently a ‘Husband Super Store’ opened where women could go to choose a husband from among many men.
It was laid out in five floors, with the men increasing in positive attributes as you ascended.
The only rule was, once you opened the door to any floor, you HAD to choose a man from that floor; if you went up a floor, you couldn’t go back down except to leave the place, never to return.
A couple of girlfriends went to the shopping centre to find some husbands….

First floor

The door had a sign saying ‘These men have jobs and love kids’. The women read the sign and said, ‘Well, that’s better than not having a job or not loving kids, but I wonder that’s further up?’ So up they went.

Second floor

The sign read, ‘These men have high paying jobs, love kids and are extremely good looking.’ ‘ Hmmm,’ said the ladies, ‘But I wonder what’s further up?’

Third floor

This sign read, ‘These men have high paying jobs, are extremely good looking, love kids and help with the housework.’ ‘Wow,’ said the women, ‘Very tempting.’ But there was another floor, so further up they went.

Fourth floor

This door had a sign saying ‘These men have high paying jobs, love kids, are extremely good looking, help with the housework and have a strong romantic streak.’ ‘Oh mercy me.’ They cried, ‘Just think what must be awaiting us further on! So up to the fifth floor they went.

Fifth floor

The sign on the door said, ‘This floor is empty and exists only to prove that women are impossible to please!!!!
The exit is to your left; we hope you fall down the stairs.

To be born as a human being, it is quite hard. How hard is it? Please imagine that you throw a small needle into the sea somewhere and let another to find it. Buddhism teaches that to be born as a human being it is harder to find that needle at the bottom of the sea. Therefore, those who commit sin will never born as human being in stead born as animals, tree etc. That is why everything has life. Do good deed, you will receive good. Don’t kill, Don’t drink alcohol, don’t have sex, Don’t steal wife from other persons etc. but boy friend or girl friend should be ok. Just kidding!

Can you do that?

When in rome, do as the romans do!

Smile is always the beauty of life!
