The story of my past#3

So everyday me and my anther cousin Leat always fight, he told me not to call his mother mum, but I had no one to call mum so that is why I call his mother mum and he was not happy to share his mother with me that is why we fight a lot because of that.

He says to me, “why don’t you call your own mother mum this is my mother you can’t call her mum”, but I didn’t want to stop calling his mother mum because I don’t have anyone that I can call mum since my real mother wouldn’t do her job as a mum.

So that was the first problems that I had in that family, and anther problem I had with him is that he tried to be my boss just like his mother, but I don’t want to accept that he thinks I work for his family not a family member and that is ok, because I never feel like I’m at home either.

So day by day my aunt went to the Siem Reap Town to get stuff for me and him to sell in the village. In the family there are seven people living in a very small house we are all sleeping together on the floor, other five people are good to me but accept two, the unnamable two.

I hope you know who I’m talking about?

So everyday my aunt and her people in the family are all busy working finding food and money.

Oh I didn’t tell you that I have my younger sister with me too and her name is Eang, Eang tried to be my boss as well, she sees what my aunt and her favorite son do to me and she tried to be just like them, but I didn’t accept that either, she is a very cleaver girl, so everyday she wait and wait to see if I have done something that my aunt didn’t know about and tell her about it, but I had nothing to worry about that one.

So yeah everyday after my aunt came back from the Town I had to take stuff that she bought and sell it to the village people, in that village people are very poor so I didn’t make much money from selling the stuff at all and that makes my aunt very unhappy because she owes people a lot of money from gambling all the time.

I felt like it was my fault to not make any money for her but the other hands I feel like I’m not wrong, I do what she tells me to.

Sometimes I wonder why she goes around and owes money to a lot of people in the village, if you don’t have the money to play the gambling don’t bother with it because in the end you end up owes a lot of money.

But I guess people do all kind of stupid things.

Well that it for today guys, because I have to get ready for the trip tomorrow to CA for the Blogher thingy there.

Don’t forget to leave a comment ok? Because that will always makes me happy to hear what your thoughts and other comments.

Thank you guys for reading my story, I know that isn’t much but it’s my life that I have been true in the past before you can’t know anything about meJ

The storry of my past# 2

Ok, now I can see that there are people out there, who are interested in my life story so I have to do something about it, don’t I? Ok I guess I have to now.

Well I was born in a very small village in Cambodia calls Tbang Village, and it’s about 45 minutes drive from Siem ReapTown.

So then my mother left me with my aunt when I was very little and I was about Jampa age, I couldn’t remember anything about my mother or my father, my aunt told me that my father die when I was three months old in side my mother so not just remember anything about him, I didn’t even get to see his face for once, I whish I had seen him for one time in my life that all I ask, but no never.

So after my mother left me with my aunt I had to do everything she tells me to and I can’t say no, because if I don’t I get beat up very bad and have no food to eat, so whatever she tells me to I had to get it done before anything.

I want to go to school very bad when I was very little, but for the thing that I want the most I can’t never get it for one reasons or anther, so time goes by very fast I’m getting bigger and bigger so the bigger I get the sad nesses will come, when I were just a little girl I don’t have to deal with a lot of feelings and sad nesses, but when I get big that is anther starry.

The story will keep continue if I see you guys keep asking for more, but other then that I don’t know, hehehehehehe……yeah I’m kind silly huh?

villagegirl in the New York Times news

Last night I went to bed at 2:45am and I got up at 9:30am and kind of a little tired, so the first thing I do in the morning is checking my e-mail and my vlog to see if there is anything new and there was one comment from my good friend Meoun, that was very nice of him and then after that I went to check on my stats for more news and I saw my stats came up and says “in the past 24 hours stats 1637 hits. and yes, there was one good new that makes me so happy to see it, it was about this New York Times writer guy/girl name Sarah Boxer wrote something a little bit about videoblogging so he/her wrote something a little bit about my vlog too, so here is the link where you can see for yourself, http://www.nytimes.com/2005/07/25/arts/25vlog.html?8hpib

Well after I saw that link and then I asked myself, where did this person get my link? But that is ok I just want to say thank you for doing that for me and other vlogger too, it meant a lot to me.

Money can make most people blind & crazy!

You know everyone; a few days ago my mother did something so bad that I can't even explain to all of you.

I sent some money to my cousin Own because she was very sick and she needs some money for the Doctor, so i felt bad to see my family in pain like that...so me and my husband sent some money to her thru my mother. But that money didn't get to my cousin, my mother kept it all to her self and spent it all on gambling, the thing that I hate the most. She knew that I hate gambling but she didn't care enough to respect my feeling for doing that!

So all of the money is gone now and we had to sand it all over again, last night she called me and asked for money again, did you all know what I said to her?

I said why should I do that mother? The money I have just sent two weeks ago and you spend it all on gambling and now you come and ask for more? What do you think of me? Am I a bank or something? And then she said "I’m so sorry Eath that I did that and I didn't mean to" and then I said to her, you know what mother? Don’t say sorry to me, you should say sorry to yourself for what you did, and then she said to me again, "I know I was wrong for doing that but I just can't stop and I don't know why either" and then I said, oh I know why because you are a gambler that is why.

You know if just the money that I gave her it was ok, but it isn’t, that money was supposed to pay for the Doctor for my cousin Own and that is why makes me so upset and angry with her, yes I shouldn't feel that way but you know what sometimes you just can't stop it, it's the nature of being a human.

The story of my past#1

Hey guys, I just wanted to show you guys where I used to play and hang out with all of my friends when I was I little girl.
This place is calls Ta Prohm Temple and there is one village call Srarh Srong village the place where I was growing up, not where I was born. I was working for my cousin Saw and she made me work very hard everyday without any rest, but it was ok I guess because I think I got used to it.

If some of you went to that place around the year of 1998 or 1999 to 2002, you might have seen me there, but it's a long time ago so you might have forgotten.
The things that I sell is like food, cold drink, shurt,khmer silk, scarp and other things that I can't name them all.

When you all go there someday and see children running around with stuff like that it means that they running for you. And don't think that they running for you because they have never seen white people before, it's not like that, they run for you because they have to make some business so that their family have food to eat, and the price that they sell to you is nothing compeer to the things that you all spend at home.
Like they sell $5.00 for an Angkor T shirt and $1.00 for a Coca-Cola is the best price for them.

Do all of you have any idea of how many people in one single family?
Some family has nine kinds and other have around fife or seven or so.

Well anyways I’m not going to write too much if I don't think anyone who is reading it, but is there are I will do some more, but rather then that not now!

Hi everyone, this video was taken on my last trip to Cambodia in 2005, and it was taken out side of Phnom phen, i forgot the name of that place now..hahahaha...sorry my memmery is not that good but that's ok, you know that day was really really hot and we were high up on the montait too.

I think my family were having fun too and they don't usually go anywhere that far, only when i whent to visited them then all of them so excited to travel a round Cambodia with me and my husband and also with our little girl.

Ok everyone i know that my dancing is silly so now i'm asking for all of you to foegive me!

You know sometimes dancing is just anther ways of express yourself and enjoy life while you have it.

Yeah people do all kind of stupit things but i think understand some of thoes who did it.

Doing silly stuff,stupit stuff it doesn't mean that all is wrong thing to do it just that you feel like you can do something without having to ask someone for their promisstion whelther they agree with it or not.

You know the most important in my life is freedom, i don't want to have someone keep telling what to do and what not to do.

Freedom is everything to me, no metter where i am as long as i'm still be who i am i think i'm doing pretty ok with that.

Well anyways everyone has their own thinking and thoughts.
