Happy New Year to all my readers. May 2008 bring you good health and prosperity.

Happy Xmas (War Is Over) music by John Lennon with wise words from Mahatma Gandhi at the end “An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.”

Merry Christmas to all.

On Thursday, November 08th, we were given a warning for a heavy storm to hit in the late afternoon. It was such a strange weather day with sun shining as I left for school in the morning. Then I got home as the storm was coming in with fierce wind hitting my face when I got off the train. I wanted to take the train to Hoek Van Holland beach to see if I can take some pictures for Dallas Lao. But since it was so cold and windy and me having a cold, I thought it would be better to just go hide inside my apartment and wait for some pictures from brave people on the net.

This was in the news about the big storm since 1953 from the Associate Press:

A powerful North Sea weather system triggered tidal surges and ferocious winds Friday, prompting fears of flooding, but left Britain and the Netherlands largely unscathed.

In the Netherlands, Rotterdam Port halted all ship traffic until Friday evening. The Maeslant Barrier protecting Europe’s largest port was closed Thursday for the first time under storm conditions since its construction in 1997.

I have to admit that when it comes to love song, I am more into sad songs. Maybe it’s because I don’t know much about love and coming from a broken family, I don’t believe in a fairly tale love story. Perhaps I like sufferings and sad songs are my tunes. If I have to pick one love song to respond to Amphone’s post I would pick Jom Jai Khon Jon. It is a Lao song that I found out it was written for my Mama. Someone loved her so much to have written this song for her and she was the one and only Jom Jai Khon Jon for that particular man. Mama was this definition of “Jom Jai Khon Jon. ” Maybe someday there will be a man that would think I am his Jom Jai.

She was his Jom Jai

The storm is coming and you can’t out run it or find a place to hide. You just have to stand up and weather the storm. Who knows there might be a beautiful rainbow at the end of a rain.
