PHNOM PENH - The price of rat meat has quadrupled in Cambodia this year as inflation has put other meat beyond the reach of poor people, officials said on Wednesday.With consumer price inflation at 37 percent according to the latest central bank estimate, demand has pushed a kilogram of rat meat up to around 5,000 riel ($1.28) from 1,200 riel last year.Spicy field rat dishes with garlic thrown in have become particularly popular at a time when beef costs 20,000 riel a kg.Officials said rats were fleeing to higher ground from flooded areas of the lower Mekong Delta, making it easier for villagers to catch them."Many children are happy making some money from selling the animals to the markets, but they keep some for their family," Ly Marong, an agriculture official, said by telephone from the Koh Thom district on the border with Vietnam."Not only are our poor eating it, but there is also demand from Vietnamese living on the border with us."He estimated that Cambodia supplied more than a tonne of live rats a day to Vietnam.Rats are also eaten widely in Thailand, while a state government in eastern India this month encouraged its people to eat rats in an effort to battle soaring food prices and save grain stocks.

($1 = 3,900 riel) ( Lucky me, lucky you, lucky us! )

goodbye mike...

a friend had just passed away last saturday, leaving this world too early and in terrible pain.

my friend mike, is one of my closest since my younger years. we grew together, share jokes and games together...tumbang preso, patintero, agawang base, name it, we play almost all the games the children would love to do during our early years...we...our friends, boy, london, erick, ediboy, would go out as early as 7 am on the streets, start our day playing and would end by dinner time. As if we could not continue playing the next day. we swim in floods during rainy season, we catch dragonflies during summer days and we even play 'gera-gerahan' with some baby rockets during new years eve. those were the days. the happy part of life. where we dint even bother eating lunch, dinner or taking a bath in a very humid day of play in the streets.

last saturday, mike was killed in a vehicular accident, he was plowed 5 meters away from where he was standing. the suspect, a-22 yr old wreck less drunk kid, enjoying his youth with carelessness...not thinking of consequences of his action, leaving a family, a pregnant wife and a very innocent son, mike passed away a few minutes after midnight.

its too hard for us, his family and friends to accept his fate.

but one thing is for sure... we know for a fact that indeed he has a good heart, mike now rests in the hands of our creator. leaving a grieving heart, leaving us all with hope of accepting what had happend to him should never be forgotten and opening our minds with what would possibly make us all remember him for his generous smile he often give us...his friends...his hopes and his simple life with big aspirations and desire of happiness.

you there me here...too far away

its been so long since you've been gone and since then, you are always on my mind.

i cant even think of anything else except you.

thinking you in every tick of the clock,

thinking you in every breath i grasp.

now that we've meet again, i just cant hide the excitement i feel,

not even hide my feelings that i have kept for you so long.

you are the most special thing i possess in this life,

and im willing to give up things that i have even my own life.

it is you that makes my day complete,

it is only you that takes away the sadness i feel.

if ever you go too far away again,

ill just sit here and faithfully wait for you to come back one day.

its just that i dont want to hold on to the promises that kept being broken

i just want to fulfill a dream that nearly has come to an end.

it is only you who gives hope on me

it is you that makes me brand new.

red rer eyes..

got a red eyes today...everybody's reacting very badly, almost everyone thought that im making them hawa with my red eyes...

i woke up this morning with so many muta in my eyes. its kinda itchy and my eyes are iritating. just like some people in the office that i just dont like dealing with. maarte at mayayabang...as if they were the only people who exist in the office. mga julalay na maarte at junitor na akala mo kung sino. manghingi ka ng bond paper tatanungin pa kung aanuhin mo yung papael...what a sensible question to ask. syempre susulatan alangan naman na gawin kong eroplano at paliparin sa opisina...kainis...and thats how i feel with my red eyes today...kaaasar, kayamot, kabanas, kaka...lahat na ng kaka...

but the good thing with this is that i got the chance to wear my shades the wholeday and even the whole night...while on my way to the office ( i do commute every day going to my office) i heard this girl at mrt escalator saying ...nasaan ang araw.... which i thing is a question pertaining to me, because its raining outside and im wearing my shades, they got my nerves and i butted in, i told them (the two girls) that i had sore eyes. then she smiled at me...as if asking what the fuck do i'm telling them...then i got my shades off and pointed to them my eyes, explaining that i needed to wear my shades because of my red eyes. then she clears that shes not insulting me but asking her companion where the arrow are pointed in the escalator. theres no arrow in mrt escalator then i excuse my self, telling them that i just misunderstood their statement. nway, napahiya pa yata ako...kasi naman wala namang arrow sa mrt escalator sa flatform meron...ewan ko ba defense mechanism na yata iyon ng mga may sore eyes, basta narinig ko sinabi nila yun, madapa na nagsisinungaling...

pagdating ko sa office, i asked the company nurse kung meron kaming eyedrops para malinis ang mata ko...to my surprise...wala daw kami nun sa opisina...where in fact, 8 hours kaming nakaharap sa computer or even more that 8 hours a days, six days a week kaasar...napaka inutil talaga...kasi naman bakit di pa ako bumili sa labas ng eye drops para hindi na ako lalabas ulit ngayon...eh umuulan pa naman, katatapos ko lang gumaling from my throat infection...hay...

balitang talaga...
