Busy... really busy
Things are picking up quite fast. I may need to have longer bonding sessions with my pc. Anyway, I am starting to upload some pictures and I'll post new ones from time to time. Go check out this link: Phnom Penh. Hmmm... for those who are curious what motodups are I've got one pic that shows motodup drivers in front of my place. And because Phnom Penh's roads are populated by motorcycles, you'll also see a lot of mobile petrol stations... yup, and this is how one looks like. Nothing but a drum, hose and that little thing that looks like a pitcher in between. And yes, they have trash on the streets, so akala nyo tayo lang pwede magkalat? Hmmm, yung bedsheet na pula at bulaklakin, don't ever think I bought that. The owner of the place bought it for me, nagmagandang loob. My goodness, sana hindi na lang :) joke lang. 'Di ko tuloy mapalitan kagad kasi sa sister nya ako nagpapalinis ng place ko twice a week. The rest of the pictures are here: http://photos.yahoo.com/whistle8912.
Hah! Another power failure in Phnom Penh (right now). Perfect timing. I wish I know how to type properly without having to look at the keypad from time to time. Argh.
There are some exciting stuffs around here like World Bank being investigated by US on alleged corruption in demobilization and forestry projects. I'll probably spare a short space on that soon.
As I have intentionally detached myself from the ballot counting issues at home, and I have been feeling under the weather lately, I didn't realize that things have gone crazier back home. But between that and some freaking insects crawling on my screen as I type, I'd rather stop here for now.
