i remember when i watch Chungking Express, a film of Wong Kar-wai, everything has an expiry date, including love.

we fall in love only one time, obstacles will follow and we will spend the rest of our life to recover back. it sound terrific. but it's good to look at the back side of how love could effect to our daily life.

i also sat down and try to understand about the expiration of love, does it truly exist? how this thing could happen. i found out some clues and write it down somewhere sometime ago in an open letter.

some people read and found it almost true to their case, and this short small letter has help them a lot to understand what happen to them.

i still believe there's always a space between man and woman. there's always a circumstance that man or woman cannot understand the opposite gender.

it's the nature of both side, and i believe somehow we still always can eliminate or minimize that space so that we could easily talk to each other, listen to the reason and let things go.

check out my an open love letter that i wrote few year back,

there's a song that i found it also could talk the true of love, it's a Khmer song, coming from Spark Music few years ago, we all still could find in any Karaoke in town if you want to sing.

this song tell about the complexity of the feeling that even we know the woman will not come back to us, but this love, this good feeling still remains, there's no way to take it out, there's no way to end it.

check it out in youtube, you will love this love song

this is something i want to ask quite some time ago,

have you ever hated yourself?

i think we might all experienced with that kind of situation, it might caused from different reason, but the feeling and emotion is all the same: we feel sorrow, we feel we should not do that stupid thing, we feel we should do it better.

In School

when we got a bad result from the exam, we all feel bad. when we did a wrong calculation, we blame ourselves for the mistake. we feel hating ourselves for not being so perfect. it will take at least two or 3 days to make our feeling feel better and concentrate to the next exam.

At Work Place

when we finished school, we are getting older and more be careful. but still, mistake always follow us everywhere. we might forget to do some routine task and sometime it might cause to serious trouble. some work place can allow you to do few mistake but not to repeat again. some work place, a mistake can get you fired.

Daily Life

we hate ourselves when we make someone we love unhappy. we wish we could do it better but we always end up by making him or her upset and disappointed.

some mistakes might cause from the misunderstanding, some might come from the jalousie and some might come from others various reasons.

Do it better

all mistakes make us hating ourselves, make you headache and feeling down. whatever the reasons that cause the mistake, first of all we have to accept it and finding the original of the cause, correct it and do it better.

there's always another good effect in any situation even from mistake. it's from mistake that we know how to do the right things.

this is something i want to share, what about you, when it was the last time you hate yourself?

it happen to me all the time that the last two weeks of the month, something i got is only 30 cents in my pocket, all my 3 accounts is empty as well.

how come this could happen? because i never pay attention to what i expense, i never know how much i should expense everyday, once got money in pockets, call friends and drink.

well it's a habits that i should now take the corrective action!

1) track every expense: it's right that i never know how many gone from my hands, stating from today i will track all my expenses, keep all the bills if possible. every month i will separate 50% for expense, 50% for saving. let's face this reality.

2) No more Karaoke:i think the most expense i experienced in the past is Karaoke, we at least spend $100 to $200 per time. if we all drink what we paid is good but most of the time we pay for the Girls' drink. so no more would be a big change for a better tomorrow.

3) reduce buying DVD: i usually spend 20 USD every week to buy DVD, from now i should stop buying it and wait to see them one year later on Cable TV which cost me only $10 per month.

4) reduce dinner out: i don't go out often these days but maybe need to change the restaurant, go to the nice and cheap one, the problem is i love the places that got design, good environment, good music, good food ... need to challenge for the cheaper one.

5) No more coffee at the airport: each morning i usually spend $1.5 for coffee. i got no time to go to any other place to drink. that's the reason i stick to the airport coffee that if i count i could save $30 per month by simply drink a free coffee in my office.

6) Reduce my phone bill few passed months i spend $100 for the phone bill. now i purchased 013 QB which cause me only $3 per month, the only difficulty is the service is not always available, especially in my bad room.

7) No more New book: i sometime buy new books from monument book which cost me from $10 to $20 per book. i can find easily the used book at somewhere down the street behind The Royal Palace, maybe it's USED BOOK.

8). Think twice before buying: i never hesitate to buy anything as long as i can pay, sometime i buy things i never use or just by curiosity only. i should buy only what i need the most.

hope by doing all those things will help me to save money and build a better and secure future.

any advise you could help to save money?

i found some advices here:

• BusinessWeek: Twenty-Five Ways to Save More Each Month
• Zen Habits: How I save money

i can't wait to see this film, it's Johnny Depp, my favorite actor and Michael Mann, the director that i will never forget him for creating "HEAT", a film that could save my life when i was in a very difficult time. i still remember what they say in the "HEAT":

Do you remember what Jimmy used to say? "You wanna be making moves on the street? Have no attachments. Allow nothing to be in your life that you cannot walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you spot the heat around the corner." Remember that?

something like that you don't read it in the book, it's the real life, what people observed and say it, it really means something.

this quote is really means something to me, in some way that i cannot explain but it's beautiful.

i watch The Eagle Shooting Heroes since i was young, it was a funny movie in my memory. i just learned that the film was shooting at the same period back to back with Ashes of Time, shared almost the same cast.

it was co-produced by Wong Kar-wai under Jet Tone production, the film was released in 1993, a year before Ashes of Time. it's a funny silly movie but you will enjoy it a lots.

there are a lot of famous Chinese film stars joined the cast such as: Tony Leung (In the mood for love, 2046 ...), Leslie Cheung (Days Of Being Wild, Happy Together ...), Jacky Cheung (my Hong Kong favorite Chinese singer) and many mores.

in this movie Jacky Cheung sing a very funny song, then even you don't understand Chinese, i am sure you will laugh a lot. this is something i want to see in the movie, a simple happy moment that we can have while watching a movie or going to cinema,

have you been in any cinema lately? me it have been quite long time now that i never go to cinema. it's quite sad but it's true that in Phnom Penh, we should have more cinema.
