Jobless US bankers set their sights on Singapore
2008-06-05 02:24:00 Jobless US bankers set their sights on Singapore Huge increase in their job applications here, but most lack Asian experience By CHOW PENN NEE (SINGAPORE) Thousands of job cuts in US and European banks - a fallout of the sub-prime mortgage crisis - are forcing bankers in those countries to seek jobs further afield. And they are showing interest in a region still relatively insulated from the crisis: Asia, particularly Singapore. ‘It used to be difficult to get any senior finance professional in the US interested in moving to Asia. Now we are getting way too much interest!’ - Fabrice Desmarescaux, head of financial services for Asia Pacific at headhunter Spencer Stuart Headhunters say they have seen a significant increase in interest from bankers in the US wanting to work here. This is hardly surprising, given that 65,000 jobs have been cut by the world’s biggest banks and securities firms over the past 10 months as mortgage losses and writedowns ...

Litratong Pinoy #4: Tubig (Water)
2008-05-22 05:22:00 Ito ang Boeung Tonle Sap, o Great Lake, na matatagpuan dito sa Cambodia. Kung titingnan ninyo ang mapa ng Cambodia, ito ay napaka-prominenteng yamang tubig sa Cambodia at napapaligiran nito ang limang probinsya. Ang Tonle Sap ay itinuturing na isa sa mga pinakamalaking freshwater lake sa Asya, at, noong taong 1997, dahil ito ay isang ecological hotspot, idineklara itong biosphere na protektado ng UNESCO. *Map from Wikipedia.Kung tayong mga Pinoy ay tinanong kung ilang isla mayroon ang Pilipinas, binabalik natin ang tanong kung ito ba ay base sa high tide o low tide. Dito sa Cambodia, kung ako'y inyong tatanungin kung gaano kalaki ang lawang ito, tatanungin ko rin kayo ng "dry season o wet season"? Bakit kamo? Dahil ang Tonle Sap Lake ay may sukat na 2,500km2 at may lalim na isang metro lamang kung dry season. Subalit, kapag panahon ng tag-ulan o wet season naman, ang Tonle Sap ay lumalaki. Dahil sa tinatawag na reversal flow ng Mekong river na kung saan konektado ang Tonle Sap, lu...

Seeing Sights in America
2008-05-19 05:50:00 Traveling is one of my passions ever since I can remember. I travel to lose myself; and I travel, next, to find myself. I travel to open my hearts and eyes and learn more about the world. I try to add what little I can, in existing knowledge about those parts of the globe whose riches are differently dispersed. And every destination has a story (also history and heritage), as they say. More so in United States of America (right now, I want to be in Las Vegas).If you also have a desire to see America, as it should be seen, you need to start at sightseeing tours - leader in the family and heritage tourism industry for over 25 years. I regularly surf the site for vacation ideas and much more they have there on the information rich and neatly laid out site. Their prides are discounted tickets, sightseeing tours, attractions and museums in different America cities. Explore, for example, Things to do in New York City and you will know how they cover the city. They excel in all related fie...

Litratong Pinoy #3: Nag-aapoy
2008-05-15 08:19:00 Sunset over the Gulf of ThailandKep, Kingdom of CambodiaAng nag-aapoy na Haring Araw, ito ang napili kong litrato na sa tingin ko ay angkop sa tema natin ngayong linggo. Kuha ito sa bayan ng Kep kung saan ako ay naka-base sa loob ng apat na buwan noong taong 2007. Ang Kep ay napapaligiran ng Gulf of Thailand, at sa aking opinyon, ito ay may pinakamagandang sunset sa buong Cambodia. Kung inyong pagmamasdang mabuti, naglalagablab pa rin ang araw sa kabila ng unti-unting pagdilim ng kalangitan, na para bang pinaglalabanan ang pagsaklob ng dilim sa sanlibutan.

Walking around the the streets of Phnom Penh (and China) is like walking around a treasureland of posters and signs where the message being relayed is far from being funny but ended up with a funny message anyway. Here's some.Let's start from my own inbox:I do not mind the mistakes in the content, but I DO mind the salutation...At a hotel in Kampong Thom province:Along the highway...Here's one from China...Here's one poster that I think is nicely done.

Updates from where I am
2008-04-27 01:14:00 Hello everybody!Thanks for dropping by even if I have no updates.I slipped out of Cambodia and in to the Philippines quietly. I am here for matters concerning my health. I do not wish to divulge details about it as I do not want to dampen everyone's mood but let me just say that after some tests, there is no immediate cause for concern, thank God.From my end, I am enjoying my time here at home in Roxas City, eating home-cooked meals that I sorely missed. A close friend based in Norway commented on my non-existent gimik schedule as biglang natahimik, as opposed to my being a curacha when I was in Phnom Penh where I was almost always out of town doing something in the community.I must admit though that after a couple of days here in Roxas, I kind of miss Cambodia already. I miss my husband (he still has work - school holiday is two months away), and thanks to modern technology, we exchanged sms and talk through YM almost every night. I still have to stay for more tests but for now, I...

Update: Is Apple setting its sights on Adobe?
2008-04-04 08:06:00 Filed under: Pure, Wild Speculation. John Gruber, writes today in Daring Fireball, an article about Adobe CS4 and the fact that while it will be 64bit on Windows it will only be 32Bit on the Mac. He writes (as usual) a simply wonderful analysis on the topic (well worth the full read), pointing out that lack of Carbon support in Leopard is making it difficult for Adobe (as well as some other cross platform vendors) to develop applications for both Windows and the Mac using the same code base. John Gruber, Daring Fireball: … the degree to which Apple pulled the rug out from under Adobe’s feet at WWDC 2007 last June. When Leopard was first announced at WWDC 2006 nine months prior, it included full 64-bit support for both Carbon and Cocoa.64-bit. Carbon wasn’t promised to be coming “sometime”, like with, say, resolution independence. It was promised for 10.5.0. And it existed — developer seeds of Leopard up through WWDC 2007 had in-progress 64-bit Carbon libraries, a...

2008-03-25 09:25:00 I know I am breaking the rules again, but please allow me to give you a brief background. Two years ago, I left the comforts of Phnom Penh for a work assignment down south of Cambodia - to the coastal town of Kep. Our organization had no office there yet so I had to use the same guesthouse room (where I live) as my office. There was no electricity yet - generator operates only at night - and so I travel to our project areas by day and do the paperworks at night. Each working day I was absolutely knackered from the bone-crunching moto-ride visiting remote villages. But when I go home, all the exhaustion simply vanished because of this:
