C for Cancer

Do not ask me how I get into this lady blog. Her name is Shin, She lives in Singapore. I really do not know what did I do but here pop up hers blog. The only way I can think of it may be from one of my medical news which I subscribed. Anyway What I want to tell her from my blog is..

Shin, I love you! Remember that by your blog, you touch lots of people hearts even other cancer's patients hearts too.

Shin is only early 40 and has two young childrens. A very successful girl full of life a head. She has breast cancer and look like spread to other parts of her body. I spent 45 minutes, was reading her blog with my tears. Some of her blogs made me real sad some made me think.."she is such a positive"!

This is my wish to her....... I do not want her die. I read one of the news saying that a lady with cancer but still living now in her 14 years. I pray to God that please help her, her children need her my Lord!

I fully understand whats inside of her as I do have 11 year old boy. when I was fighting with my liver cancer, I do had more or less similar way of thinking as the rest of cancer patients. I love her blogs the one "my wish for my family". You will never know how cancer patient's brain is functioning unless you are in the same shoes or the same boat! I was thinking similar like her, except.... I do not want my husband remarry until my son is 18 year, I said to Robins that he can't marry a horrible woman who did not love my son. I said that because men,once they married, they will be busy pleasing their new wives! Oh yeah, they said "No I am not" but what kind of women will marry a man who loves his son?? Woman aren't stupid either.

I want to end this blog with .....

"God children never say goodbye for the last time."

Love you Shin!

Impotent in Italy

I saw the following news in Bangkok Post ! I do not know how to say it but the new made me confused, smiled and then.....Sad! The news said....

"No church wedding"

Rome: An Italian bishop has told a young paraplegic he can not have a church wedding because he is impotent, despite his fiance being aware of the problem, media reported. Salvator de Ciuco, spokesman for Bishop Lorenzo Chiarinellio of Viterbo in central Italy, told Sky TG24 television late on Sunday: "No bishop, no priest can celebrate a wedding when he knows of admitted impotence as it is a motive for annulment" of the marriage. The 26 year old groom, who took part in civil marriage ceremony in Viterbo on Saturday, has been a paraplegic since he was involved in a car accident. The curate of the parish who was banned from marrying the couple was present at the ceremony.

Ok .. let me say some more. Where is true love or unconditioning love in this world folks?? Marry, for me is 2 people love each other and decided spend the life together good or bad in everythings till dead part. Well lots of people parted even they are not dead yet! What is wrong with it that two people wanted to give the vow in the church beside impotent???

Sound likes.....Sex is the most important part in 2 people decided to stay together. I am a Christian too. My way of understanding is....In Bible I never saw that Impotent man can't marry in the church..don't you?

Well this is for those impotent men in Italy......... you guys love the women and wants church wedding....please do not proclaim or feel that you are powerless, weak or helpless. Your love is count in here! I think you all want church wedding, you deserve it. Church do not like to know but we women prefer rather know now then after!!

1,000 Karen Villagers Flee Attacks
By SAW YAN NAING
Monday, June 9, 2008, -->

More than 1,000 people from Papun District in eastern Burma have fled their villages and taken refuge in the jungle after a series of attacks and acts of physical violence by the Burmese army, according to relief groups in Karen state.


According to the Free Burma Rangers (FBR), a relief team that works with Internally Displaced People in eastern Burma, troops from Infantry Battalion 240 attacked Te Mu Der village on the morning of June 4, burning rice barns, destroying homes and farms, and damaging a local church.

The villagers were forced to flee Te Mu Der and are now staying in makeshift shacks in the surrounding jungle in fear of returning to their homes, said the FBR report.

Other villages in Papun District in northern Karen state were also attacked—including Tha Kaw To Baw and Tha Da Der, where an unknown number of villagers were forced into hiding.

FBR reported that the military operations were launched by Burmese Infantry Battalion 240, Light Infantry Battalion (LIB) 429 and LIB 531.
According to the report—which could not be immediately verified by The Irrawaddy due to a lack of communications in northern Karen State—LIB 429 and LIB 531 entered Bwa Doh village in Papun District and beat up and shot at villagers. One man’s head was split open, although it was unclear whether he survived. The Burmese soldiers fired mortars into Bwa Doh, than burned down three barns containing rice, said FBR.

On May 27, more than 500 villagers from Mon Township in Karen State fled into the jungle following attacks by the Burmese army, according to FBR. The villagers are reportedly still hiding in the jungle. FBR also reported that Burmese troops demanded a total of 2,150,000 kyat (US $1,900) from five villages in Mon Township—Lay Tain Daw, Tee Dto Lo, Aung Chan Tha, Paw Bpi Der and Myaung Oo. The army apparently forced the villagers to pay money, saying it was a contribution to the cyclone victims in Irrawaddy and Rangoon divisions.

FBR noted that since the monsoon rains started, conditions for living rough in the jungle are even more miserable than usual.

Meanwhile, Saw Steve, a relief team leader for the Committee for Internally Displaced Karen People, said, “The Burmese army has increased its military operations in Papun District. They are burning down farms and huts belonging to villagers.”

Look count??

This is Than Shwe!





I just read an article about American Politic in Yahoo...Saying Obama is nominated for the Democrate party. Then the article going on saying about the colour of the skin, the age, experiences compairing with McCain.

In the article, it said..Obama is 46, Black (I thought he is actually black and white, but people keep saying he is black!), no expenrience enough but Hervard Graduate!

McCain, said he is 71, white, lots of experiences for the white house but saying he is too old for US President. Well if he win he will end at 75 right? What wrong with that age.

Like it or not in this most of the world...people see the first thing is colour and age, experiences come the second! Now let's imagine Than Shwe as a US President Candidate!!!! It's real funny right? OK just only imagine and let's see about Than Shwe...

Skin colour: Burmese but blacker than Obama.No black back ground .

Age : 75 which is older than McCain.

Education : No Hervard, No Oxford just grade 8??

Experiences: Nothing, Zero but know how to shoot!

Result :Looser!

Lets thinking real hard before we vote folks!!

Exchange Rate

I do not want to talk about Money so much but sometime..... yes... We all need to talk about money time to time whether you like it or not. Well here I am going to talk about money but only about ..."Exchange Rate" !!

6 year ago when we came to Bangkok the exchange rate of US$ to Thai Baht is 1$=45B. I went crazy as coming from Guatemala, Belize where Robins was building the shrimp farm. I felt Bangkok was very reasonable. I spent money like monkey but still left over every month. Quezales, The Guatemala money is quite stable not much up and down (like Hong Kong Dollar, some how not much change). Belize Dollar is hock with US$ almost one to one. My Surprise is ...there was nothing that I can do in Belize. Things are expensive, on top of that nothing to do there. Population there is same as Gainesville in Florida. The only place I can spent my money was all the hotels along Placencia because there when my son and I spent all day long by the Caribbean Sea and ate hot dog (sometime rice and bean with banana fry) !!!If I say a hot dog cost 7$, believe me in that!

Let me talk about how we lived in Belize.... (by the way the shrimp farm at Belize is the most beautiful farm I had ever been. The Owner built own air strip in the farm). The farm was mostly built by Memonitoes (in Spanish), I think in English Memonites?? (my spell??). They are from Canada origin and we visited to their town in Belize which call Blue Creek. I was amaze the way they live (Remember I was in Hong Kong for 4 years before headed to Central America). I like Blue Creek!!! I can stay there as a simple life!! (for sure Paris Hilton won't survie there and the Momonitoes are happy that she is not with them also). I saw so many Blondie and blue eyed girls and boys, actually all over the whole town. Food, milk, cheese are good there!! If you live there, you no need to were Prada, Gucci, Pucci or whatever... You can stay there with a long skirt dress like Mary Poppins's dresses!!! They built everything by themselves and they have everything except branded dresses and make up shops.

My big problem in Belize is shopping for grocery. If you forget something, you are a dead meat situation....Because you have to drive one hour go and one hour back to the nearest Grocery Store. So sometime we were so tired and forgot toilet paper, think about it??? I remember that how many Robin's office paper are gone for a month to wipe?? and ...how many times my yard man needed to burn the office paper off??

OK back to Exchange Rate! I usually thought as Thai Bath is 32=1US$ now, I thought Thai Bath is stronger..... but Robins explain to me is that's does not always mean Thai bath or Guatemala Quezales or Belize dollar are stronger than US$. Robins explain to me many times but I do not really understand 100%. Well I know it's count on evey conner of econonic!! I think US$ are so bad because of the "BUSH". I am not a money maker nor investor nor worrier. I just happy if I have money in my pocket and forget about Exchange Rate!

Japanese Mob with new liver

Of course I went to the church today. It's Sunday!! Came back, checked my email and read some liver's news. One of the liver news was ..... " A Japanese Mob donated 100000$ to UCLA for getting liver from"!!! Wow.........my questions are, How could this Japanese Mob got US visa?? Does UCLA knows that he is a mob?? Do mobs have a sincerely kind heart?..ta ta ta ta ta.......???

I know what Mob mean but in my curiosity, I did opened my dictionary and see what it said. It said.. 1. A disorderly or lawless crowd or throng, a rabble, 2. Any large assemblage, group or class of individuals or things, 3. The lower class (I love this one...), of people, Masses, 4. a gang of thieves!!

The dictionary is kind to say what MOB mean. I thought mob is killer, or shooter or beater or womanizer more.............. I hope this Japanese Mob realized that life is so precious, value and good by now. I want him to become a nice, kind, thoughtful man in future. I do not wish he shouldn't get the liver because I can't say that. I want him live and changed!

Me, I am still thinking time to time that who is the family that give the liver to me? Where they live? How they cop with the lost?, why they become a donor? Can I see them in future? Can I hug them? Do they knows that I am doing well and so thankful to God and to them? I wish them all the best. I really do.

I can't give 100000$ to my Shands, University of Florida in Gainesville but I am giving what I can. I give and will give till I die that my "Thank you so much"to them, my thought and my prayer and my love to them. One day if I become very rich in my own not by marrying, yes! I will do my best with material.
