Being a female Aquarian

Reading this , I feel that it really reflects who I am ! Though as I reckon , they talk things quite general in some aspects , still the best Zodiac analysis / description I've ever read :) Strongly recommended ;)

Your zodiac sign is symbolized by the bearer of the jug of water, you provide the spiritual and intellectual health drink to the society and people around you. And the water has a tendency to flow ahead, so that you are forward looking, and optimistic, and think only in terms of growing inward and outward possession.

You dispense knowledge, advice and even material possessions to those around you, who solicit your help and emotional support. You are the sign of brilliance and creativity, but these are not without the sufferings and sacrifices. You have distinctive, in fact a peculiar character – you are knowledgeable and intelligent yet hesitant to take important decisions or to give your opinion where it counts most. You are quite philanthropist, at least in thought, and have a great sense of humor.

You are tolerant and don’t mind others poking fun at you. You are valuable to the world as you are a giver rather than a taker, you give hope and inspiration. Aquarians are amiable, charming and intuitive, but can get eccentric and unruly at times. They are also slow and shaky starters, taking their own time, but half way through, they might change their mind, irritating those with them. In your love life, you will have really good experiences, but some setback will keep piercing your heart at all times.

Qualities that make you lucky are honesty, truthfulness, innovative, and insightful. Qualities that hinder your success are inconsistency, unusual, rebellious, and cautious.
Aquarians are probably the most individualistic and strong kind of people. Now you can read that as pigheaded and rebellious, but that’s your wish (that’s not to say that being either of these is always a wrong thing). And as is the way of the world, the distinctive and strong in character are the ones followed by one and all; so this is what leaders are made of. Now things are not all rosy and jolly for Aquarians. If I had to describe an Aquarian in the least possible number of words, I won’t classify him as a leader or pioneer, I’d call him a walking bag of contradictions – coz that’s what he most definitely is. They do pioneering work, they go against the tide and try to change how the society thinks about something, yet they themselves find it very hard to change their mind on something once they have made up a notion. So this difficulty in modifying oneself and one’s beliefs becomes more and more noticeable and prominent with maturity; an Aquarian might need a lot of help and encouragement in coming up to prevalent times and practices. However, another important thing that makes them such good leaders is their cool temperament and emotional control – you could not find a person better at taking affirmative action in practically testing circumstances. Also, these guys are really understanding and do not find it very difficult to suffer contravenes of fellows. That is why they make such good friends.

Another enigmatic aspect of their persona is their glamorous yet distant kind of vibe in relationships. They like their freedom and are not very welcoming to change, at least in this department. So, an Aquarian might face a lot many conflicts in his love life, even though he/she might be a terribly romantic person. Aquarian children may seem to be a little too introvert and aloof of the world, but that’s normal, in fact, that’s their thing! Physically, Aquarians may often suffer from circulation-related health issues, so it is really important for them to keep warm in cold weather.

The individuality of an Aquarian might lead you think that they do not make such good friends. But the reality is far from that. Many astrologers will attest to the fact that Aquarians are the best kind of material for making a best friend. They really understand you and have an excellent listening ability. And their best quality is their willingness to help you for simply nothing in return. They don’t help people out of affection, or respect, or pity – it just comes naturally to them, helping someone just seems to be the right thing to do. They have a strong helping, humanitarian character, and most of them actively participate in community service and charity work. A psychoanalyst will tell you that they satisfy their need for self importance by helping others, and being of use to the society. And some of them might go out of their way in doing that. For example, they might help other parents out by taking care of their children. They might teach poor kids and do some kind of community service by joining NGOs. So they make very resourceful, understanding and faithful friends capable of keeping the ties intact for many years. They also have the ability of resuming relationships after a long period of separation, with almost as much warmth.

Aquarians are also known for being assertive and speaking out their mind without any qualms. They suggest ways of making things better and take decisive action in that direction, to the benefit of most friends. This makes them very good members of societies, clubs and associations. They will do a great deal for the group, simply because the impulse of enjoying the camaraderie of people you share a common interest with is too great within you. They will make great presidents and chairmen, and will be looked up to for their impartial and impersonal judgment. They will also make up quite well with the politics and drama of groups, because of their coolheaded nature and impersonal judgment.
The problem that most Aquarians face in friendships is due to their individualism and need for fresh air. They do like to have their freedom jeopardized to any extent, and most of their friends are aware of that fact. For the friends, the best thing to do is to remain at a certain distance until allowed in, and the best thing for the Aquarian to do is to curb such tendencies.

With the glamour and shine you have got, it will not be very difficult for Aquarians to turn strangers into acquaintances and acquaintances into something more. A lot of love and love-making will come your way if you are an Aquarian and you will get the opportunity to enjoy it to the fullest. And my advice to you in this matter would be to grab those opportunities and make use of them to the fullest without any second thoughts, because once you start having those second thoughts and actually sitting down and thinking them through, hard times are bound to come by. Each courtship or relationship ultimately comes to that one question, but in case of you, this relationship is a little too critical.

As I have already said, an Aquarian is really protective of his freedom and way of life. A serious relationship will mean taking that giant leap of giving up one’s normal life for someone else, and learning to make decisions with the ‘we perspective’ instead of the ‘I’. Such a huge commitment will take a huge amount of love and devotion. So most of the time, this scenario just leads to a break up. But still, if the relationship persists, then the partner will have to understand the emotional needs of the Aquarian and mend his/her life and needs accordingly. This is quite difficult even for an Aquarian (remember we talked about Aquarians being very understanding and supportive) – we are talking about partners making peace with the fact that they will never be able to play a part in their companion’s life as big as they’d like to. So the partner requires to be understanding and cool-minded and one with interests that the Aquarian can identify with. The ground truth is that for a relationship to work, having common interests and aspirations is just as important as understand one’s companion. As for the Aquarian, he/she has got a penchant for theatricals, and a great talent at entertaining the companion and making the occasion a very special one for him/her. This will make your love life very colorful and fulfilling.

Aquarians are the most faithful and devoted of all in a marriage, except for the fact that they might have a few problems in accepting the new sort of life that the marriage will have to offer. Aquarians are not at all possessive and in no consider their spouse to be an object to be owned. So they are cool with any sort of jealousy-related issues. This is because they have a great amount of respect and adoration for their loved ones, and respect their values, emotions and moral standards eve tough they might not approve of them.
Aquarians find it hard to give up their individuality in the marriage. They find it hard to let of their identity for a greater cause. For example, when the Aquarian wife becomes a mother, she might find it hard to give up her profession and career and get involved in tending the kids for the first few years, without any bitterness. Even if she accepts to do it, she might just be waiting for the child to become old enough to go to school so that she can rebuild her career. Not that this is a bad thing, but the thing is that parenting is not something that can be done with a feeling of obligation. This is not so much of an issue of the Aquarian husband turning into a father, because fathers do not so much have to end their careers for tending the baby. But he actually might be the odd one to step up and take the responsibility of tending the child in order to give his wife the opportunity to continue.

Aquarians probably make the best parents, it sort of comes to them naturally, at least some aspects of it. They do not find it difficult in any way to stimulate and create interest in their children and stir them to be involved in some sort of group activity. The home will be a place of really interesting conversation, and not just noises from the TV or the Videogame. But the stagnant set of beliefs that Aquarians possess can prove to be a serious setback. It might be really difficult for the parents to acknowledge the generation gap and act sensibly.
The individuality I keep saying the Aquarians try to protect in personal and professional spheres is not for nothing; actually it reflects a very lovely trait of theirs. They are known for their distinctive mark – the originality and difference they bring about to their work. These people first make sure they know what is expected from them in any task before actually taking up that task. Then they go about their work in a distinctive way. It’s not that they have no respect for the rules; they just wanna do things their way, without any intervention. So the superiors need to stay away from their area and not worry about the quality of output, because it will be assuredly top notch. They are very reliable and will give each task their most, unless you stick your head in and tell them it’s not the way to do it.

Generally speaking, Aquarians are not too involved in petty organizational politics and quarrels. If they are ill-treated, they rise above personal battle and try to resolve issues with their flair and ability. If they have a promotion or increment coming their way, they accept it with poise and the confidence that they can take up the added responsibility. So whatever might be a situation, they have the ability of not get distracted and go about their work in a simple and straightforward fashion. To add to this, they have a great amount of resilience. They can practically work all day. The only thing is that they will prefer taking a coffee break or doing nothing at all in stead of doing something that they consider to be a waste of time, a petty formality.

All these qualities make Aquarians stand out in a crowd – their dedication, their concentration, and above all their different and sometimes peculiar way of working. These things come very naturally to them, so they get noticed by superiors without actually realizing it.

My favorite foods

It has been very hard for me to decide on what I want to eat as my appetite isn't stable. It's good that I'm not the type of eating much when I'm single so my shape remains cool . However it isn't good when I still don't feel like eating anything when I'm already 27weeks pregnant. So far I've only gained 7kg for my almost 7months pregnancy , this is a serious concern. Though I regularly take vitamins & drink juices , I believe my little baby inside needs wide rang of other vitamins too . So I come up with idea of viewing pictures of foods to help me burn passion to eat & find my appetite back. Sadly, not everything in these pic that I can eat-- some of them are pregnancy prohibitions - But it's ok :) it's not hard for me to abstain from eating :) the only hardest thing I find myself very very hard to abstain is Coffee Latte :'( so it's picture isn't included here cuz it's too painful to look at.

Collecting pictures of foods has been my interest & it attempts to be for personal use only as most of the pic I took here are taken by phone-camera.The reason I start taking photo of foods because I want to remember what foods are tasty , freaky,& nightmare haha.. These photos also tell the date & place I see or eat those foods -- ah! Thanks to the new technology of iPhone ^^ this is cool & convenient.

Today I'm too free so I decide to share all these pictures with friends in case they also need help to boast their appetites ^^ also show them my great efforts of collecting all these so far ^^ Enjoy it !!

to own iPad 2 is so hard !!


My honey and I were thinking that we would buy 2nd Generation iPad for my mom & his dad as the gifts for new year. However things are not as easy as thought , we've been asking a friend in US to buy only one iPad and it turned out to be mission impossible. He earnestly complained to us that there is long queue in front of Apple store and once he tried to get up early to queue at 6am , the ipad2 all ran out of the store. we really appreciate his effort and we feel sorry for him that he had to work very hard just to plainly help us on this.

anyway , I now got to learn from the Apple Hot News that iPad 2 Arrives in 25 More Countries in Mar 23, 2011 and will be available in Hong Kong, Korea, Singapore, and additional countries in April.

Maybe I try to get one in Seoul :)
Hope it worths expectation.

What women really want?

A report that has shocked some and confirmed the suspicions of others suggests Western women are more determined than ever to bag a partner who will improve their final financial prospects.

Despite years of campaigning for equality and advances made by the fairer sex in the workplace, most women prefer to marry a man who earn more money than they do and would stay at home to look after the children if they could afford it, according to a new survey published by the London School of Economics.

Female aspirations to marry a man who is better educated and commands a higher salary than themselves persist in most European countries, according the report’s author, Catherine Hakim, a senior research fellow in sociology. No stranger to controversy, Hakim last year coined the neologism “erotic capital”- a combination of physical and social attractiveness – to describe the key professional attribute of our times.

The sociologist has also claimed that more women are choosing to “marry up” by picking wealthy men as their spouses than in the 1940s.

Human Right at Risk

(Mary Lawlor is executive director of Front Line , the international Foundation for the protection of Human Rights Defenders, based in Ireland )

Plan to introduce new Legislation requiring NGOs to register with the Cambodian government before they can commence operation could disrupt the defense of human right

Around the world, the space for human rights defenders is shrinking as repressive governments harass, intimidate and attack them as they peruse their vision of a better world based on human rights for all. A recent trend has been for governments to introduce restrictive registration practices to sink civil society in a sea of bureaucracy and stifle the spirit of dissent.

Front Line Believes NGO staff working as key agents of social change depend on the support of their communities and the general public, which, in turn, is based on trust. To hold that trust, human rights defenders and the organization must be seen to operate in an open and transparent way. Equally, governments are within their rights in seeking to regulate the voluntary sector. However, increasingly we see repressive governments using the language of transparency and accountability to introduce restrictive legislation, the primary purpose of which is to limit the capacity of civil society to challenge such governments and hold them accountable for their misdeeds.

In October 2009, the United Nation’s Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights defenders, Margaret Sekaggya (Uganda) , called on states to do away with laws that required NGOs to register before they could operate.

She was concerned states were increasingly using security and counter-terrorism laws or more “subtle means,” such as the judiciary and public administration, to restrict, disrupt and in some cases “ completely eliminate” the work of civil society.

Cambodia is the latest in a long list of repressive governments seeking to introduce such legislation, a list that now includes Russia, Sundan, Saudi Arabia, China, Belarus and Iran. The draft legislation currently before the parliament of Cambodia proposes to introduce compulsory registration for all NGOs before they can carry out any public activities. The registration process would impose a severe administrative burden on human rights organizations, especially small grassroots groups and informal community networks. Human rights defenders fear the vaguely worded provision of the law would be used to harass and intimidate them. This is Consistent with the international trend of governments seeking to discredit and criminalize the legitimate work of civil society.

While this draft law would have a significant negative effect on the work of domestic NGOs , it also impose on the international NGOs the condition of “collaboration with government ministries in the planning , monitoring, implementation and evaluation of their project ”. It is feared the existence of this vaguely worded provision will effectively give the government the power to veto over any NGO activity.”

Front Line is concerned that that if this legislation is passed in its present form, we will see a pattern of repression emerging in Cambodia whereby the process of registration is made so difficult that genuine human rights defenders will be unable to register their organization and can then be prosecuted for failing to register if they continue their work unofficially.

Under the international law , NGOs are guaranteed the right to Freedom of Assembly and Freedom of Association . It is their legal right to campaign for the protection and promotion of human rights and, while the state has an obligation to prevent criminal activity, such concerns are already adequately addressed under existing legislation. The inescapable conclusion is that the purpose of this legislation is to block the legitimate work of civil society. Front Line has addressed its concerns to the government and is calling for the review process to be extended so these concerns can be addressed in collaboration with NGOs. There has already been significant erosion of freedom of expression in Cambodia over the last year, a trend that can only be exacerbated by this unnecessary and oppressive piece of legislation.

Found the sites of Online photo editor

Recently, just found a cool photo editor program online

so I was a bit crazy over it..

While editing these photo , Honey come and said "Honey ! Do you have a lot much free time ?"

I simply replied "I'm smart so don't need lots of time to do this"

honey said " Then you should spare some more time on ironing my clothes , and arranging my books.. & learning how to cook " and I said "NO!" (T_T) hehe..

Well, i'm not the type of person who love my picture so much, it just happens occasionally that i like to create sth new and fresh for good feeling..

because i usually see this kind of edited photo posted aroud in some website , and I used to be curious how they design it to be like this & I like to dig up what to know

and i found this site www.fotoflexer.com

it's online photo editing , it's good place to retouch the photo we love and have fun once in a while (^^)


And this 2 photos below I edited them in www.puricute.com

This photo is very old since the times I've just known my honey.
there he secretly took my photo while we waiting for rain to stop.
Later he gave me this when we were together.

I took this photo in Safari World in Jakarta.

Most of photos I edit don't really mean anything deep , just sth to make me feel cute ,fresh ,and good (^^)

when i'm bored @ office

I work in Media Field so it requires me a lot to write , read , & research endlessly..
It's important that i have to make myself refresh and be creative everyday..
So i like to talk a lot with people around me hoping i can learn sth from them..
at office , i usually have conversation with my colleagues and they also like to talk with me :)
there are are lot of talks , teases , and mocks going around my office..
Recently , I take a break from work and start to relax & enjoy quiet simple student life..
It's actually a right time for vocation from work as my study is now in the mid term period, i'm hoping i can earn A grade as I put my all in it

However I now miss my office so much , hope the new project is coming and i can go back ^^
some activities i like to do in my office :

When i can't think of anything to write or i run out of idea , I like to play with my laptop / desktop ..and touch my hair

When I feel stressful i like to go to Newsroom so called " Peaceful Island" named by me :D

there is quiet/peaceful.. and have loads of newspapers to read and have people to talk to ..


I like to make a thoughtful expression, like i am now thinking about sth very serious/ or useful..though sometimes sth like that really pop up my mind by doing this .


drinking coffee in the morning after breakfast can keep me active a whole day.

I only drink Latte without sugar , while Honey drink Americano without sugar (impressive! though a bit concern about his health )

I know i gotta quit drinking it when m preparing to have baby :)


Whenever i feel down at work or ran out of idea, i also i can chat online with Honey as his Google account is online a whole time..

i can share him my problems and obstacles , and he usually says things to encourage me , or help me to find solutions :)

He is not just Honey , but also a good consultant & teacher..

so far all his advices help me to make my days .

We all gathered together to produce a light hearted radio special programs hoping it would bring audience a relaxing and intimate feeling towards us as their best friend. This special program ran full length of 2 hours allowing all staffs from the 3 departments to be on air to greet and wish our audiences to be prosperous and healthy esp thanking for all the supports so far. Each team had time limited so we all rushed in and out one after another , and I was there as photographer of the whole show. My camera was so heavy normally I complained a lot, yet that time i just simply enjoyed the moment and forgot to care about its weight.

Mr. Leap, is our newly promoted supervisor .
He is tough but warm .

Ms. Kunthea and Kompheak.
Kompheak is like my best friend, she sat next to me everyday .
