Because of them:
My nephew, Joshua, 3 years old
Loves Superman and reading books. He says he doesn’t want to go to school, but will borrow books from school to read at home.
My niece, Chappi, 7months old
Raises her hands and squeals in delight whenever she hears Viva. She has the same big eyes of her big sister Beebop. We fondly call her Fidela, after former President Fidel Ramos. Why? Just look at her ear 🙂

My niece, Beebop, 2 years old.
I met her for the first time when I went home last April.
I miss those pair of big, round eyes, asking me “where’s Tito Wob?” (my husband) every minute of the day.

I know he would skin me alive when he sees this, but I am posting this anyway. Phnom Penh is thousands of miles away from my hometown of Roxas City (in the Philippines) so I am safe and far from his wrath *lol*. That’s my uncle and his posse, their big hair and side-part are trademark of the 70s. . I am not saying it’s a bad hair as it was the big thing in the 70s… all I am saying is… watta hair!
>Wordless Wednesday #38 Drunken stupor?

No, he’s not really drunk.
He borrowed the whiskey bottle from another table and gamely posed for this shot 🙂
He is Long Dimanche, our Coordinator in the Prey Veng Pilot Project site. Being the head of the team on this part of Cambodia, he does all the preparations making sure everything is ready when I arrive to conduct workshops and meetings. After days of working in and with the community, we, locals and ex-pat staff alike, share what the locals call a solidarity dinner. Everyone gets cleaned up, all dust washed away, puts on new clothes, and wear our best smiles looking forward to a fun night. Dinner is usually accompanied by loads of karaoke singing (all Khmer songs), dancing, and drinks.

My entry for this week is — drum rolls please — our wedding rings! My husband and I decided to have our wedding rings handmade to our own choice of design, and both were made by the same person. Our rings were made of silver and gold – crafted by a local jeweler here in Cambodia. We chose gold and silver because we thought it is a significant symbol being in a mixed race marriage. Each one coming from a different worlds and cultures, each one bringing a new and different dimension to each other. It’s like the ring – two different metals molded into one.
A Silver Finish!
