i am moving ! after all… after all headach with the transfer domain and installation.
i am moving for a better tomorrow - with the self hosted you can manage everything but one problem, you are on your own
the rotate image is working
butthe templete doesn’t like internet explorer,
but somehow it won’t give much deformation,
later on i will try to minimize the different between internet browser,
for the moment it works pretty fine with firefox and flock,

the audio plugin at the side bar, it was a dream but it becomes reality
it’s a free and nice smart plugin, if it happen to you to host your own wordpress
and you need help for installation, please drop me en email.

the old posted are exported and imported sucessfully but songs and pictures are lost,
i forget to backup the folder from the old server - i will try to get it work but it will be a long process, if you have a special request please let me know.

so here is the link to the new place - maybe it’s not so strange
http://khmerbird.com

please don’t forget to update your link,
see you at khmerbird.com

first 25 Jan is my birthday but this year i got no time to see friends and celebrate the party,
anyhow i did have dinner with colleages and some suppliers. it was not bad the Karaoke LOL

two ideas that have came quite a long time in my mind,

1. wordpress.com has became too small for me, it seems like when we grow up, the room becomes too small. i can’t add anything in wordpress.com, even the meteo code or just amazon link … quite sad and stuck. i want to put a music flashplayer at the sidebar, it is not allowed either. it reached the limit. and why not to get a wordpress self hosted where we can manage more.

today, a new hosting is ready, but since i change the dns server name, it might take up to 24h … or maybe something wrong in configuration on my server… it’s become a challenge to stay behind all the code and manage hosting server. i am learning…

2. i am setting up to have an online magazine. it’s one of my projects to provide an online magazine which contains movie review, book review, great directors, talented artistes and some of my writing. It was initialized to focus on Khmer Culture, the revolution of Khmer arts and Cambodia people. But there’s nothing guilty to go and take a look what happen around the world.

today theme seem ready and need time to write on the contents… (will be release in next few weeks)

it could be an answer to those who waited… i am not on the schedule but i work very hard now to get the magazine online.

Standstill … me need to get some sleep. hope tomorrow my new blog is completely propagated.
bye

I am working behind something and will not be able to make any new post here,
Let’s fix the date to come back, if you are still curiouse about what I am working behind,
Please come back on 25 Jan … something will happen

Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and son Maddox pick up Pax and Zahara from school in Prague, Czech Republic.

well i believe Maddox will become a Superstar in Hollywood very soon,
coz he looks so great to become as an actor,

and at the same time i heard Madonna is looking to adopt also a girl from Cambodia
she also would become a Madonna one day! who knows?

this is the first time i saw you,
you acted as Mary Corleone in The Godfather part 3,
one of The Godfather trilogy, your father’s masterpiece, the greatest movies of all time
you was shoot at the last scene, I cried at the same time as Al Pacino were crying silently in the movie
after watching the movie i kept silent for few days,

in fact i have watched The Virgin Suicides while i was in France,
but it was just by a mistake, i don’t even know your name and at that time i didn’t watch the Godfather yet
The Virgin Suicides just gave me a curiosuity, it was a mad movie i said at that time.

later on, when i returned back to Cambodia,
i got The Godfather trilogy DVD,
they said you acted very bad in The Godfather 3,
but for me, i loved the image that you gave to the screen,

then in 2004 i found something really really close to you
Lost in Translation, lost in Tokyo, lost in you
i found the movie was very cute and understandable,
even the characters themself are still lost
we understand your message, you found a secret way to communicate with audiences
it’s your original story, it’s your original screenplay

a lot of people feel the same way, they love Lost in Translation
and that what made you won the Academy award for original screenplay
and that brought Lost in Translation became the Academy Award-winning for best picture, including Bill Murray that won Academy Award for best actor

this is the particulary scene that i love the most from Lost in Translation,
when Charlotte looked at the window, and sometime she just sat there near the window … just to watch the city.

i not yet watch Marie Antoinette,
it is not become i can’t find the DVD,
i still don’t know why ..
maybe it’s not the time to watch it yet
or maybe i will never watch it,

The last scene from The Godfather part 3

From time to time you should have thing that you are waiting for,
For example, you are waiting for a good movie,
You probably could find a big surprise and a pleasure on the day when you get it in your hand,

I told a woman, i admire her by just seeing her pictures,
I told her i even dreamed about her,
She said to me don’t fool yourself, she might not be as beautiful as i thought,
Well that’s the point,
as long as i don’t see her, she always be the most beautiful woman in my mind LOL
She laughted and said to me : dream then but don’t count to me …

One of the best moment in my life is when my eyes recognize something that i have noticed in my mind,
It recalled me and oh god i finally got it !

The Assassination of Jesse James is one of my waited movie,
I can’t say anything about the movie since i don’t get it yet,
But i got a sense, and my instinct told me you have to watch this,

It’s about a man, his private life and that’s it.
But why is that so important to me to watch?

It’s easy to say he’s a robber, a criminal… an outlaw but have you ever ask yourself why he did such thing?
What can provoke him to do such an action? what is his initialization before he decide to become who and who?
That’s important than to accuse him,

We are Cambodian people should try to understand more,
What is the cause? what is the consequence? We can’t just continue see thing as it is.
Even we speak the same language, we can’t just make people understand,
And we don’t learn to listen at all, I me always right !

To understand we need to come close, sit and talk,
We can’t just stay far away and say u did this wrong, you should do this you should do that …
Thing always happen from a reason, there’s always cause and consequence
We need to go to the source,

And i believed this movie is try to understand about the life of a man,
And not just an ordinary man but an outlaw!

Wish you all have a great time and a very happy 2008,

I heard Hillary Clinton is now become the most reseached person around the net,
They wanted to know eveything about this ambitous lady to become the president,

I remember on the day that Bill told the true, she stood next to him,
Even she looked sad, but she did show her support to her husband,
It was not an easy thing to do,

I am curious about that,
What is the reason that she forgave Bill about the affair with Monica Lewinsky ?
They are still together, until now …

Is it because of the great understanding between both of them,
She might understand about how the fragility of a man is,
She might understand that,
It’s easy for a man to lost his mind and do dirty things,
Bill is also a man,

Forget and forgive about that,
It was quoted somewhere ” there are worse things than infidelity ”

Or she might think about future, about her way to become a new President ?
If it’s true, Yeah it is too bad for Bill…

a lot of discussions was going around ..
you can get yourself stick curious more about,

two books about Hillary Clinton

Did Hillary Clinton ever get mad at her husband for having an affair?

The Girl Hunter
a short fiction by Khmerbird

Part 4

I am still wondering how a picture could be transferred from a negative film to a photographic paper. It’s like a magic. There was an image there, very clear and inerasable. I wonder the same thing, how an image of a person could be penetrated into somebody’s heart.

The raining season is ended. It stopped raining. At the same time as the rain stopped, I stopped writing to Collie. At the same time as the water in TONLE SAP flowed back to the sea, I tried to forget Collie. Would she forgive me for that?

I bet not,

But at least I believed it would be good for both of us. We reached the crossed road where we need to make a decision. Collie has chosen a way. I need to make a decision whether I was going to follow her or I choose a separated way. I though a million time. I though what if I just followed her and marry her. I don’t need to know any goddam other things. Just marry her and she will be mine. I can do the same as my friend Phal or anybody else in this country.

Isn’t true that I am dying to be with her?

YES, but what if I was wrong? What if I was wrong …?

After leaving office, I passed by Le Bonjour, a new branch boutique shop of TOTAL, to buy some fresh Angkor beer. My father likes Angkor Beer. He said if we local people don’t support local product, who is going to support for us? We should take a look at the foreigners, at least wherever they arrived, they always looks for the local product. Cambodian people should start to support the local products.

It was not everyday that I bought some beers and drink with my father. It was because I need to ask him for some advice. My father was a fortune teller. He didn’t have the third eye but people always came to him when they got trouble. He was not like any other fortune teller. My father was a philosopher, like Stendhal or Jean Jacques Rousseau. In other country, we should call him a Psychiatric. I called him Doctor Love, because most of his clients came to him when they got problem in heart. His place was not really a mental health treatment, but heart treatment.

He was good in heart treatment for both men and women. I still don’t understand why so my people came to see him and believed in what he said. I still wonder if anybody dares to ask him “if you are really good in the relationship, why your wife left you to live with somebody else?” I am not sure if he could answer. But I dare not to ask, I know he suffers a lot when my mum asked for the divorce. I saw him cried. He was drunk on that day and when I put the mosquito net for him, I saw him cry.

You cannot imagine how much it could hurt you when you see you father cry. I will never ever ask such a stupid question.

Thida, my sister, left us alone after the dinner. We sat on the Salon and watched TV. I really didn’t know where to start. I thought maybe I should come home at day time and wait for the turn as any other clients. It might be a good start.

-    Work is OK? (thank to god! he started to ask me)
-    Yeah, it’s OK. I got a little small increment of salary for the next year + a bonus for the end of the year.
-    Good, you should be happy with that (he looked at me, seriously)
-    I got some problem,
-    What is it? You did something wrong?
-    No… not really. I don’t know what I have. I don’t know what it is.
-    You don’t know what? Girl? You know someone?
-    Yes, I know a girl… almost one year now…
-    And then?
-    She asked me to marry her
-    You liked her?
-    Hummmmmmmm…
-    Tell me if you like her son? Speak it frankly! I am your father.
-    Yes, I like her. I think I like her a lot.
-    You like her a lot? Mean you admired her. You might feel happy when you stay with her. And when you leave her, you might feel empty. There’s something missing inside you. You missed her. You won’t miss anything in this world, but you missed her. You wish to have another chance to meet her again. You hope to have that chance. You got an expectation… is it the way you feel son?
-    Yeah, I wanted to share many things with her. I don’t want it to be ended.
-    So you got hope, you got expectation… I think something was born inside you. We called it the first crystallization. I guess what you have right now it’s about a doubt. You are uncertain about what you have between her. You hesitate, isn’t it?
-    Yes, it’s exactly how I feel right now, hesitation … How could you see those things? You got the third eye Dad? It’s so true. I don’t even know what I have. Yeah I think I have hesitation. How you do that? How you see things in my mind?
-    No, I don’t have the third eye, but I have it in here, in my brain. When you hesitate, you got some kind of fear. You need to eliminate that fear. Otherwise it is not about it.
-    How to eliminate that fear?
-    You need to be sure, you have to think and be sure. You have to be sure that she also got an admiration on you. Did she miss you when you leave her? Did she want to see you again, to have that kind of moment together again? Does she get hope? Does she get the expectation, to share everything with you? … Does she doubt about what she feels about you? …
At last, and this is very important. You need to feel and be sure that she got something for you, something that no one in this world could give you, except her, only her. Are you sure about that?
-    No, I am not sure. I am certain that I am not sure. I am not sure about how she feels about me. I need some more time.
-    Does she give you the time?
-    No, she doesn’t …
-    Look, if she feels the same thing, it will be the same process. She would give you time because she also needs it. Or she might expect something could happen after the marriage as anybody else. But one thing that I can assure you, at this moment, at the time that we speak, there’s no second crystallization. Without the second crystallization, we cannot be sure. And I can say it’s not about what you are looking for. She might just want to get married as anybody else. You might take risk or you stop.

Finally there was no more hesitation in me. There was no doubt. I didn’t hesitate to say goodbye to Collie. There was no hesitation when you decide to fall in love with someone. It happens the same way when you decide to leave someone. There was no hesitation.

To be continued…

i think the most popular dance in the wedding party is Mazizone,
everybody love to dance Mazizone, at that night i heard they play Mazizone few times,
and do you Mazizone?

even there’s help from young volunteers … 
the problem is each crossroad that don’t have the traffic light, become worst and worst
the driver just go ahead, without giving any priority and it locked all the way like in this picture below

few solutions that might help: put all the traffic light to the big crossroad, minimize the car imported, think about the BUS or Train again
because if nobody do anything, … we will be mad.
