I had been to Honduras

"I can see for an American reporting what happened this weekend in Honduras it looks like a blow to democracy. Well, let me tell any American that democracy in this little country is not what you study in the history books. Zelaya was elected president, much like Obama was in the U.S., but what he has done after that resembles nothing to a real democracy. Contrary to the US, where the people have the power to impeach a President for lying after denying having sexual relations with an intern (true democracy), we have powerful drug lords who pay our president enough money to do whatever he wants. We have a powerful set of foreign dictators who send myriad planes full of money to pay off people to support ideas that are much more illegal than what can get a president impeached in the US. The ones that work for a living, the ones that are afraid for their lives and family can't do much, other than support a change before it becomes deadly for the country, and write e/mails like this. I only ask you investigate the entire story....I am not right winged, it is not a question of that, just investigate the background of this political mess...the killings, the corruption, the political mind games...please do it before is too late, and it becomes in years to come just a script for one of your Hollywood films, like Ruanda. The U.S. must understand our plight, don't meassure what happened by your standards, get to our level and see what really is going on." Maria Gutierrez

Somehow I agreed with the lady's opinion. I have no doubt that the American way are good for American but when they comparing with their believing to other, sometime somepoints did not make sense to me! (Note: I said for me!).

Last night we had dinner with someone who work for ACC! To put it my way.... he is coming to check some shrimp farms in Thailand that whether qualify enough to buy the shrimp for US customer or not. i.e...On rule and regulation of farming, child abuse, fairness to the workers, environmental friendly or not ...ta ta ta ta!

I understand when they said it is necessary for ACC to check it out. I told him that sometime there is an exceptional. i.e. For the Burmese workers who are working at the shrimps packaging or at the farm. I had heard stories that the Burmese are not treating equal and the minors are working there.....bla bla bla, but if you ask the Burmese "Is it ok that the salary you are getting which are much lower than the local even as the same load of works???"... The Burmese will answer,"Very OK"!!

Here are the exceptional that I want to point out. The Burmese are starving. Poor are dead poor and rich are becoming filthy rich. Those poor come to Thailand for a better pay job. Here they arrived to Thailand after 13 days of walking by foot. Some are Lucky enough not die of drawing or not get eating by the tiger in the jungle or not got shoot dead by insurgent.........only one reason for, "To feed their family back home!!'

As Bill Gates said.."Life is not fair get used to it!!". Seen to me it is right. For the Burmese those who landed the job at the big factories as shrimps beheaded job, it is the winner of million dollar for them. They are happy that there is a job with the payment!!

When I brought up about the Burmese Workers at the dinner table , Robins and the man said .."Well, still it doesn't make right and the ACC must look into it!!" . Yes they are OK of saying as American way of view but I am not agree to that unless ACC can find the jobs for those very starving poor Burmese Workers with the exceptional problem.

OK... I am an American now. I love USA. I admire the way they see the rule and regulation which are fit into American but it does not always work for poor dead country. For example.... We American we believe in Democracy. IF this Obama turns or turning our country into Socialism or Communism, we all should cut his balls off!! I do not want American government feeding the poor lazy people with my tax money ....Period! I wish my tax money used for poor smart people to get a better education..that's way it is very fine with me.

Honduras also still in my memory. We went to the Shrimps Meeting there. Robins gave the talk and for me to see another new country. He flew into the country first meantime I was seeking the VISA to get into the Honduras. Went to the Honduras Embassy in Guatemala, here the consular told me..."You won't get the VISA because you are holding the third world country's passport!"" (that time I was with the Burmese passport). I got so mad, so mad that I felt that the smoke came out from all over my holes. I was very controlling and asked him with the smile...."What is the ranking of your country, Honduras??". What I got back was just an "Stupid Smile" from the consular. Well I got the VISA and saw the Honduras...it was back 10 years ago.

Am I using freedom of speech like American way??? Soung like it!!

Good luck to the Honduras, Guatemala, Burma, Iran...whats more??

Pray for the Money

I am getting different kinds of email as the rest of you do. I wonder how they got my email address? I have little information how they got it but I am careful for opening my emails.

When I was recovering from my transplant in Florida, I was getting emails from Nigeria (with many made up stories and from different people), saying..... Robins's cousin had die at very bad accident in Nigeria and who also left money for Robins like 10 million dollars. To claim that I must dept. 10,000$ to do the paper works!! Oh yeah righ.....they even give you bank account with detail information to you!! Are they nuts? Me definitely not!!

Well most of the time I was alone in Gainesville so one day my very good idea popped out. I opened the Nigerian's email. The reason is to get back real good to him. I wrote to a Robins's black cousin's layer (Who even did not know what Robins's skin colour is which is doesn't matter). I replied....."I am forwarding your email whis is a baloney claimed to FBI. Stop your email to me also to everyone right now. The FBI is very good at tracking your kind of bad emails!!"

Surprisingly...after that I did not get such email anymore. It did work!! Not far....then I saw the news the authority tracking down the people who sent out such kind of emails. Some US citizen did a good job.

To FBI was not a joke, I was thinking to talk to the local police and see what they can do for me and to other!!


Beside, here are different emails that I am receiving ...... You got 2 free tickets from Jet Blue airline, We have Viagra (they even do not know that I have no male's part) for you, Would you like to date close by neighbour (by the way I have no pleasure to date my neighbour nor far away), Interesting safe sex, A land is waiting for you, Your bank offers you mega loan, from Belk, Sear, JC Penny telling me about sale (I wonder how could they do that, who give my email to them as I even did not own member cards with them)..... bla bla bla bla!!!

Then I got the following email last night. It said...

"Praise The Lord- G-d Has Answered Your Money Prayers-This Is As Good As Winning The Lotto"

Have Your Money Prayers Answered & Go To Sleep With A Clear Head And Wake Up Everyday In A good Mood! Are you or Someone you Know Drowning in Paying Your Bills? If so, Join the Club!
"

This email make me think.......Do people pray for money to God?? How people will go to that length (In Businesses) to make money in the name of God? Do we forgetting "thou shall not use God name in vain??"

Yes, we can pray eveything to God it all up to you! To answer or not to answer is all up to the good God. God does knows eveything what we need that's why Christ teachs us to say "Give us our daily bread!!". Daily brad here prefered money?? For me, I think so!Yes..God knows we need money to buy our daily necessary. Nowaday, real free food is difficult to find.

I remembered that the time I was parying for to get a place for my grand ma ma to live as she is older and I concered her travelling. I prayed.."Dear God, please help me to get a place for my grand ma. Guide me to do the right way to get it." Guess what?? It took me 2 years to get it but when I got it, it was perfect timing!!

I bought the house right before my liver surgery which I never thought will happened to me. I got it so in time that I have no need to worry how and where my grand ma will live and eat. (Robins is nice enough to help her daily needs). The huge worry was put a side from me. I felt nothing but just "In God's Time"..perfect, so does how my liver transplant went so well!!

For me...to pray money from God is base on 3 things.

1. Be honest!

2. Be reasonable!

3. The most is, put trust in God! ........You will see the answer. How long? Bad or good answer? For sure.... I can't answer.

Look, to get my son it took me 3 years which I was thinking I won't be a mother. To get a house for my grandma, it took 2 years!! To get my liver it took 2 and a half month.

Why me to face cancer?? It is a good turning point for me to be a better person and knows more about my God! Yes..it is sad that I did not see clearly about my God before Cancer! This I regreted.

Now my praying to my God is to see my son finish his university! I am praying for it. All up to my God...What ever the answer, Positive or Negative way I still believe.."God knows the best for me!"

Folks......................"God is Good!"

I want to finish this blog with my prayer..

"Dear God,

When the dead parts me from my family please it will be only from you not from other reason because..... everything from you is very good. I love you God. Amen"

Tears

Always wake up at 6 pm as my body is adjust to it and to have breakfast with Robins and Shan. I did say a prayer that thankful for seeing another day. Took my thyroid pill then I noticed that my phone was red alert blinking. I opened it... I saw the breaking news about Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett had died.

Beyond shocking, my tears rolled!! None of my business to critic how or the way they lived in their lives, I just admired how they contributed to our public entertainment....not only in USA but to around the world! Lots of people did not have that kind of talents.

Michael was tags with.....Buzzard, complicated, wired, stranged, talented, gifted, the worst was a Child molester!! We seen to forget that we, ourself are not perfect. We did have that a mouth just loose it out often. I admitted that I can be the owner of one of the loosing mouths too.

I have my own memory of Michael. I love dancing. I remembered the time that my last year of university (I called it my last year of happy time), was almost over. I used to go with my friend who own the movie studio in Burma. We all used to go and dance there for 3 hours in day time!! Guess what??? Of course with Michael Jackson's Thriller!!!

In Burma we can't dance in own house. It's controlled or controlling by the authority. They can put you into jail for dancing. So.... my dancing place were American Club, British Club, Movie Studio or my friends's houses who fathers are way high position in military!!

One of my favourite songs of Michael is "We are the world"... This song leads me to meet "Robins" and "Smith" (My British puppy love). Just fresh out from the collage right a way with my first job at the UNDP project. I was happy to get a job with foreigner boss because it was a good paied compare to local job.

One night we did have this fund raiser at the UNICEF compound. Michael Jackson's " We are the world" was a main song to celebrate. Hope I remembered well.... I think it was for Africa's Famine.

The funny parts is..I did not speak very well English at all but my both jobs before marry to Robins were full of American bosses. At that time I spoke only 35% of English, my English was real bad..well my boss was good enough to know how to handle with my very broken English. Thank you Mr. Campbell and Mr. Ferdinburg for taking me the way as I was!!

My languages born with like this.... first Shan, lahu, Kaw, Burmese, English, then French, Cantonese, Mandarin (only 65%), Spanish (10 years experience) and now the Thai (70% still sometime mixing with Shan)!!

Back to my Burma years....... the broken English leaded me to meet Farrah Fawcett on TV!! I realized that for me to speak more English I must watch lots of American TV series. Oh...I love her, I thought she has the most good looking set of teeth and hair. I remember that in front of mirror, I opened my mouth wide and brushed my teeth for 3 minutes long... sometime more!!

Now they both gone. I can't say anything more beside I will say...

"SAD"!!

I do not know them in person but thank you to you both for being a part of my life!! May the good God be with you.

Flu Bugs























The blue rounded one is the swine flu bug!
All are differences of flu-bugs.

I think I am going to have my PhD. degree from the "Google University" soon! My Professor name is "Mr. Computer"!! The Biology that I learned from Rangoon University is nothing, Google University can tell me more information than anywhere...Aha!

At lunch time my cook said ..." Khun Helen, News said more than 1000 swineflu cases in Thailand". My friends who are visiting in Bangkok said " A lady is in serious case of the pigflu". Then the air crews was grounded for 7 days as they came home with a sick woman in the plane. No surprise!!

We all living with all those good bugs, bad bugs around us. Our body is full of those bugs! As a liver transplant patient, I am taking immune suppressor the rest of my life...till I die!! The bugs love people kind of like me who are not so many immune systems. By the blessing......people around me actually 4 people that I knew are now taking antibiotic and sick with ...What??? Here...till today I am doing OK.

Swine flu comes from piggy, Bird flu comes from Chicken, SARS comes from Mongoose, HIV from the blood of wild monkey, malaria from mosquitoes....more over rats, snails, cats and dogs can give us many disease. Most of the animal are the agents of the disease including human being. Can't remembered who said that it said..
"Nuke are dangerous so does the epidemic disease, they are equal"!!

According to "Rise of the bugs", by Lily Huang said..."At this moment, the planet contains and estimated 1,415 pathogens, or disease agents, the we know about:217 viruses, 307 fungi, 538 bacteria, 6 protozoa and 287 types of worms." How can we kill all these bad bugs?? One day, we all will be "No Way Out" from all these bad bugs???....and finally die!!

Talking about worms...I haven't de-warms for a long time. I will talk about this to my GI when I get in Gainesville. Living in different places, as I do not cook well and live with the cook and I eat every thing I want, ... time for me to kill my belly's warms. Hate to say that but I do not want to be the agent of worms...euuuuuuuuuu, I hate to think about this. Robins loves to kill the belly's warms but I am not. Shan hates it too.

I am going to get in long flight soon. I am concerned about the damn pig flu but I can't live fear of that bad pig!! I will cover my mouth and clean my hands...will see!!

Take care you all. Don't let this pig bothering you!!!

Red Neck Bank Loan

Never underestimate A Texas Redneck cowboy.


A Redneck from Sweetwater, Texas walked into a Bank in New York City and asked for the loan Officer. He told the loan officer that he was Going to Paris on an international redneck festival for Two weeks and needed to borrow $5,000 and that he Was not a depositor of the bank. The bank officer told him that the bank Would need some form of security for the loan, so the Redneck handed over the keys to a new Ferrari. The car Was parked on the street in front of the bank. The Redneck produced the title and everything checked Out. The loan officer agreed to hold the car as Collateral for the loan and apologized for having To charge 12% interest.

Later, the bank's president and its officers all enjoyed a good laugh At the Redneck from the south for using a $250,000 Ferrari as collateral for a $5,000 loan. An employee of The bank then drove the Ferrari into the bank's Private underground garage and parked it.

Two weeks later, the Redneck Returned, repaid the $5,000 and the interest of $23.07. The loan officer said, 'Sir, we are very happy To have had your business, and this transaction has Worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While You were away, we checked you out on Dunn & Bradstreet and found that you are a highly Sophisticated investor and multimillionaire with Real estate and financial interests all Over the world. Your investments include a large number of wind turbines around Sweetwater, Texas. What puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow $5,000?

The good 'ole Texas boy replied, 'Where else in New York City can I park my car for Two weeks for only $23.07 and expect it to be there When I return?

His name was BUBBA...
NOTE: Our good friend Bob, sent this to me!

My Views on Current World News

Note: Please do not take seriously on my views!!

On Iran: I am so happy to see that there are many Iranians who love the real meaning of Democracy! I wish good people from Burma and Iran will join together and form another... a new country. The question is where on the earth has vacancy to form a new country call: BURAN!! (Remember not Burain ok).

Now the leaders?? How about Suu Kyi runs the country for 6 months and Mousavi runs the rest of 6 months and rotating??
I know good people can live together happily ever after....always!!

View on Ahmadinejad: If I am in his shoes I will be very shameful that knowing the feeling of "so many hates me". His government is accusing USA saying... America's influence on Iran up raise!! There you go again.....quick way to fit the problem right?

On France: I have no idea or how to view on the French President's said... "No more Burka in France"!! I have no political view on it but I do have medical view on that. I am talking about how good to have "Vitamin D"... which is now researches are saying it is very important to have Vitamin D. My question is how could the ladies have it with many clothes??

Our world is full of contrasts. Here some women are taking sun bathing with naked at the same time here some women are covered all over including their toes!!

On Burma: I can say only this....As Newsweek, dated on June 22, 2009, by Lennox Samuels and F. De Burgo-Naughton said... "(Yettaw), A troubled dreamer who lives down two miles of gravel road in Missouri's backwoods and didn't have a passport until last spring..... who said he had seen himself as a man sent by God to protect the life of beloved foreign leader."............... If God needs another Moses for the Burmese, definitely not you Yattaw because my God does not have failing plans!!

Crazy?? I don't know but because of this idiot man it will screw up my lady's future!!

I understand this man, Yettaw has been married for 4 times, also no brain man who is not thinking that even OBAMA can't helps so what in the world that he thinks he can help SUU KYI?? His excuse is "God told him to do so..." Yeah..right! I hope now he knows that if this was God's plan there will not be the part of "He got caught!!"

A rumor is coming out saying...Yettaw is Suu Kyi's boy friend! Oh please stop that. Seeing the lady's passed Husband I know her type of man not that Yettaw.

On America: Celebrating on 40 years of walked on the Moon!! Folk since 40 years ago we know there is no aliens on the moon. Those people who believe in that there might be another kind of wired creature who are staying way way out there please....If I am you I will stop thinking about aliens and will be concentrating on "do the good things"!!

On Russia: The Russian are now calling "the New World Currency" so does The Central American Nations Agree on New Currency. The Russian said China will lead this New Currency Programme. I have one question though.."Whos picture will be on the money"???
Chairman Mao or Lennon?? or Side by side? If more countries joined, should I need to see all those dead old heroes (for them), printed on the money? Waite... will there be a huge, big size of note come out?? Hope they make sure before they talk!!

When the Euro comes into the picture, the England said "NO" to them and the "pound" is still doing OK by itself. I am waiting the day China+Russian new currency will come into the world. Indeed our world are changing into a new direction. Good or bad...time will tell us.

On Thailand: We are now living in harmony again. No more red, yellow for the moment but the pig flu is taking the headline new! My friend air stewardess called me and said ... the whole crew are on one week no flying as they were coming back with a sick woman on the plane to Bangkok. Waite and see there will be a "Dog Flu" is coming soon!! You never know!

These are my views on our world. If you have any please feel free to share. Bye now!!
