I am proud to be born as khmer.

I might look like chinese people.
I got a Russian name.
I learn more than one foreign languages.


But my heart, my mind and my soul is truely belong to Cambodia and Cambodia only. I dare to call myself khmer people.

This is my second post for today but I just can't stop myself from writing. I want to write and share as much as possible as the 07th of July has only one time per year.


I want to say that I am lucky to have experienced with such a histroical event in my life. I am lucky to be born as a Cambodian people.

Today at the evening we have a memorable celebration at the olympic statium. Though today is Tuesday but there were many many people attended the celebration. I am not attending the celebration but I did watch the live on TV and I am so touch by the crowd of people waving the flag of Cambodia up high with the song, the sound of the cheer, the solidarity of khmer people show how brave they are dying to protect their country and how much they love their country and nation. I almost cry with the smile of love and proud to be who I am. After that I watch the firework on the balcony of the second floor of my house and the firework was just infront of me. It was so close and absolutely enomous that produce a very loud sound. I am proud to be who I am, I am proud to be khmer.
This is the photo I took while I was watching the celebration of our world heritage 1 year anniversary (Prasat Preah vihear) on TV this evening.

I like the part that our military troops sang the song, but I don't rmb what the title is dear. It reflects pride, confidence, unity, and commitment of the armed forces to buzz off all the evil minded intruders out of our territory :) God bless Cambodia!

As for the firework thing! I could hear the booming sound too, but I didn't run up the 2nd floor, and checked if I could see it too. :( Now that i'm kinda jealous! I like looking at the firework, quite a stunning view. Did you take some pictures, anyway?

I'm so proud to know that you're proud of being Khmer. I was overjoyed with the cheering both at my school and with my parents at home watching TV. At school we played drums, big and small, everyone drew our flag on their faces. I did too. It was a precious day, and I'm so proud of my own blood too.
