Ad Wars: Republicans Set Sights On Reid
2009-01-28 20:24:00 Remember to check out our YouTube channel, Political Realm TV, which now has over 230 subscribers and more than 1800 videos.With the 2010 elections a scant 643 days away, Senate Republicans have launched the cycle's first ad, targeting Majority Leader Harry Reid in his home state of Nevada. The ad slams the "super-spending partisan" Reid for helping to guide President Obama's stimulus proposal through Congress and for supporting the $700 billion financial bailout last year. "As Democrat leader, he helped pay for vicious attack ads criticizing last year's bailouts," the ad begins, referring to ads run by the DSCC in certain races criticizing the bailout. "But guess who voted for the $700 billion bailout. You guessed it -- Harry Reid. And now he wants a trillion more dollars in new spending? A trillion dollars? Tell Harry Reid to stop wasting our hard-earned money."The NRSC is putting little money behind the 30-second spot, titled "Trillion," airing it on cable stations in the Ren...

The Red Sox Seem To Have Their Las Vegas Sights On Mark Teixeira, Bigtime..
2008-12-09 12:26:00 Hello again...you must be getting sick of me. Just kidding (I hope). Here's the latest buzz (thank you Boston Globe) on the Boston Red Sox and their search for a cleanup hitter. First up, an unidentified MLB person...?I think he?ll (Teixeira) sign with the Red Sox,? the official said. ?They want him. They have a good relationship with agent Scott Boras, and in the end, they have the dollars to make it happen.?And another MLB unidentified official...?He is a perfect fit for the Red Sox and Boston,? said another club official. ?A guy who plays every day, doesn?t need to be the center of attention, is a good teammate, and can hit like he does, I can?t see the Red Sox letting him get away.?Peter here, and boy, oh boy, if the Sox can sign Mark, their offensive lineup, top to bottom, will be fearsome, awesomely fearsome once again. I don't think money is an object with John Henry and company. I agree with the last sentence from the last quote.."I can't see the Red Sox letting him get a...
Wordless Wednesday #62: Dead tree?
2008-12-02 03:42:00 Taken in Kep, on our way to Vanna's GuesthouseI was walking one fine summer afternoon with my husband when I caught a glimpse of this dead tree, devoid of leaves, and its branches jutting out to the sky. The sun was still minutes away from setting and the light seemed to give it a strange glow. While the other trees that surround it were leafy and green, this one stubbornly stood out and I said to myself - what a lonely tree. More Wordless entries here.
Wordless Wednesday #61: View from my office
2008-11-26 03:22:00 This was the view from my room-cum-office at the Kep guesthouse where I used to stay. There, my husband and I watched the calm waters of the Gulf of Thailand and the looming Phnom (mountain) Bokor. On lazy days, we brought out our hammocks and enjoyed the view, with the cool mountain breeze lulling us to sleep.

Alam niyo naman sa probinsya, hindi sementado ang daan at, kapag tag-init, sangkatutak na alikabok ang babalot sa iyong sasakyan. Kaya ganyan ang hitsura. Isipin niyo na lang kung ano ang itsura ng kotse kapag tag-ulan - inangkupo! Kinuha ko ito habang papauwi na kami at tinatahak namin ang kahabaan ng Norodom Blvd. Kung maaaninag niyo sa kalagitnaan ng litrato ay ang Independence Monument. Maganda sana ang pagkuha ko kaya lang ay nasira dahil sa maruming salamin sa kotse. Tsk.
Wordless Wednesday #60: Remembering Sri Lanka
2008-11-18 18:55:00 In 2002, I was invited to a 5-day conference of environmental journalists in Sri Lanka. That being my first trip there, I decided to take extra days to explore the country. Luckily for me, I have a Sri Lankan friend who took three days off from work to give me a guided tour of the country. I was really excited about our road-trip because I only read about/watched Sri Lanka in books/television. First in our itinerary was Minneriya National Park, 182 kms from the capital of Colombo and about four hours travel by car. This man-made lake (reservoir) is the main feature of the park, covering an area of 3,000 hectares. It was built in the 3rd century by King Mahasena who was known to have discriminated Theravada Buddhists in Sri Lanka. Many temples were destroyed including Mahavihara, the main Theravada temple. During dry season, different kinds of mammals, mostly elephants, and birds roam around the park. Not far from Minneriya is Polonnaruwa, dubbed as the ancient Kingdom of Reservoirs ...
Photo Hunt #32: Ruin(ed)
2008-11-15 04:27:00 These are just some of the ghost villas of Kep. Kep, in its heydays, was once a favourite holiday town of the French colonial masters and the Cambodian elites. The villas fell into ruin during the 70s when the Khmer Rouge took over and systematically burned and destroyed all the villas and murdered its occupants. This is probably what the Khmer Rouge meant when they declared Year Zero. At present, some of the villas are occupied but most are abandoned and lying in ruins. Vegetation has set in covering the remnants but one can still see the grandiose details of the villas alongside bullet holes and burn marks. The villas are but mere reminders of the golden days of Kep, and, ironically, of the cruelty of the Khmer Rouge regime that ravaged the entire country. The first time I visited Kep was in 2002 and the sight of these decaying villas gave me shivers. To me, Kep, then, had a ghost-town feel to it. These days, however, Kep is undergoing a massive transformation. The once thick jung...

Every time I see her and her friendly smile, I am constantly reminded of one of my favorite biblical characters, Joseph the Dreamer.Don't you think so, too?
Tony Stewart and his new teammate Ryan Newman set their sights on 2009 at S
2008-08-15 17:25:00 Readers of Racedriven.com may be wondering why this NASCAR fan has generally kept quit with the exception of a couple of comments on other blogs on the whole Tony Stewart-2009 move. Well, unlike last season when my favorite driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. was moving from DEI to Hendrick Motorsports, I had written on every move, however for this season’s Smoke news, I’ve been just waiting for all of the announcements to come together as well as just thinking about the whole move.So as the 2008 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season continues on with just four races left in the Race to the Chase, the last thing I thought I would have been talking about is Tony Stewart’s 2009 move, however that is exactly where NASCAR fans are right now as Tony Stewart has just made his final announcement.Before last month (July), the rumors and speculations had been running on just what Tony Stewart might be doing for 2010 as he was working on his new contract with Joe Gibbs racing, I remember last season (2...

Litratong Pinoy #8: Ang Mahiwagang Takip-silim sa Dalampasigan ng Kep
2008-07-31 09:06:00 Paumanhin po at late na naman ako ngayong Huwebes. Nag-i-inarte na naman kaya ang internet connection dito sa amin.Noong 2006, ako po ay tumira sa bayan ng Kep, 178kms ang layo mula sa syudad ng Phnom Penh. Dito, kasama ng aking asawa at alagang aso, kami ay nanirahan ng mahigit sa apat na buwan. Ang mga sumusunod ay kuha sa dalampasigan ng Kep. Para sa akin, dito na yata matatagpuan ang pinaka-magandang takip-silim sa buong Cambodia.Ito ang matatanaw mula sa kwartong inuupahan namin noon. Ang islang nasa background ay tinatawag na Phu Quoc at pag-aari na ng bansang Vietnam. Subalit ang mumunting isla sa gawing kaliwa ay pag-aari pa ng Cambodia at ito ay binansagan naming population one island dahil sa iisa lang po ang nakatira diyan at ito ay ang pulis na nagbabantay dito.Kapag kami ay bababa patungong Psah Khdam (crab market), ito naman ang aming nakikita.

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.

Photo Hunt #21 Funny/Creative Signs
2008-04-27 02:59:00 Hi, I am back for this week's Photo Hunt. I was absent from my blogging duties and I want to start making up now... It is not so difficult to find pictures for this week's theme. 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. The message being relayed is a serious one, and it is presented straight-to-the-point to the readers. Even the non-Khmers can the tell the issue right away...For more funny/creative signs, just head over to the Photo Hunters HQ.
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...
