A Presentation From Green Camp

On the 10/26/2016, three visitors from Green Camp came to visit at our school and also given us a presentation about their organization. Gren Camp is a really amazing organization. Mostly, it relates to nature. Green camp have 4 pillars of learning such as sustainability, cultural appreciation, leadership, experiential education. They work with Green school, one of the most incredible school in the world to teach students and help them to understand about green camp and what it’s like to be a part of the nature. I thought this was a really interesting project and I was really inspire by this project. I think it’s really important to learn about nature and the interaction between human and nauture. The word “explore” is what I always think about.

Songs That Make You Think

As you know, I’m a big fan of musics. One day I was sitting on my bed, I go to Youtube and then these songs pop up. I listen to it and realize that it mean something. So I went on Google and search for the lyrics. I felt very emotional and very sorry. I mean, everything lyrics that is in the songs is so true and I agree with it. Who ever wrote the songs, I really appreciate it.

Have a listen to the songs.

I AM WRITING A NOVEL

On summer holiday I have started to write a book, novel. I was really interesting in writing stories so this time I decide to wring a long term one that it’ll take me six months to finish this book. Before I start to write the book, I’ve went on internet and research about how to become a novelist and how to write good stories. Then I went on and start brainstorming, chapter by chapter and including characters too. My goals is to have 40 chapters. To do that, I have to write everyday. I have to write at least 500 words count a day and the goal to reach is 80000 words count and it’s a lot. Sometimes I really want to give up because I feel like it’s too much work and sometimes I run out to words. Now, I’m halfway done and I feel proud. Even Though I write everyday I have decided to do Ind.Discovery on this because I want to spend more time working on it. I think I’m going to finish writing this before Christmas. I will make an update, once I have finally finish the writing. But here is a brief description.

The story is about a UK girl, Desi Velgas, live in Brighton. She broke up with her boyfriend, Oliver and it was a really heartbreaking for her.

September Favorites

September was a really fun month. I did a lot of fun activities with my friends and go outside with them. These are my four highlights of the month.

As you know, this month I organize and event, International Coastal Cleanup. It was a really really fun day and I’m proud that I can attend that event.

Going back to Koh Seh was definitely a memories that I can’t forget. I know it was a short time spending on the island, but at least I got to go there again.

I have finish this book call Everything Everything by Nicola Yoon. I really love the book. I literally finish the book in 4 days. Whenever I start to read that book, I can’t stop myself to read it. This book is about a girl, Madeline, 18 years old who can never leave her house. She has SCID, which mean she is allergic to everything in the world. When a boy next door move in, her life start to turn upside down. She falls in love. This book make me cried at the end because of how meaningful it was.

I went to a show in Phnom Penh called, A Streetcar Named Desire with my teacher and my friends. When we get to the show, our teacher told us that a man told her that this show is not appropriate for kids, and everyone starts to worried. We don’t want to cancel the show because we already bought the ticket. So we went in. It was not appropriate. Half way of the show, we decided to go home. I was a little bit sad that I didn’t get to finish the show but it was a really fun experince.

International Coastal Cleanup – 2016

On the 17th of September, 28 of the Liger students and around 10 foreigner from different country join us to do beach cleanup at Kep. Nilroth and I have organize this event to make it possible for everybody to participate and get to actually go and do the action. This event happen all around the world and Cambodia never participate. So we spend half of the morning and half of the afternoon picking up rubbish at different two locations at the coast of Kep beach. When we pick up the rubbish, we divide people in to small groups. Those small groups have a specific type of rubbish to pick up so it make the collecting data easier. Speaking of data, we also collect data so we can put it in the Ocean Conservancy website and it’ll show that we’re the first ever Cambodian group to participate in this event, International Coastal Cleanup. We collect a total of 85 trash bags for the two locations.

I really join doing this because it really help the environment and I really do care about environment around me and people in the community. I was proud of myself because my group is the first ever Cambodian to participate. I was exciting that MCC (Marine Conservation Cambodia) staff come and join us too and they were all foreigner. It was a marvelous time and I hope to join again next year.

Here is our data for the different location:

Back to Koh Seh

On Friday, September 9, 2016, I finally went back to Koh Seh. I’ve been to Koh Seh before when I was in this exploration call Marine Conservation in Cambodia. This time there’s only five students that were going, including me. I was so excited to go back again because I miss Koh Seh mo much. It was one of my favorite place. This time there were a lot of big waves because of course it’s a rainy season and I was scared. Especially when we come back, there was a really heavy rain while we were on the boat and I can barely see anything. On the island, we also get to snorkel again which is the second time already that I’ve experience with snorkeling. I was so happy to see everyone back at the island and there were also new people. Unfortunately we only spend two night on the island but it was a lot of work and a lot of fun.
So the purpose of going back to Koh Seh again because there were four students that are working on this project call algae farming. I wasn’t one of the students that was doing that project, but the project that I’m working on is International Coastal Cleanup. I am organizing an event on 17th of September and the purpose is to cleanup the beach in Kep Cambodia. This event happen all around the world. So when I come back from Koh Seh to Kep my partner, Nilroth and my teacher were trying to find places to clean up around the beach.

Filming Experience

Filming

I use to really hate editing videos and other stuff. But this year I’ve given myself a lot of challenge. I started to learn to edit and started to like it and get use to it. I start of with Audacity, which is working on podcast. Then I bring it to another level, which is filming. My first official film is the Sibling Love Story, short film. This film is suppose to be compete in the film festival, but unfortunately my film can’t make it in the Phnom Penh Youth Film Festival (PPYFF). It was a big fail for me. I was so upset and frustrated that time. But I said to my self that this time I fail but I will not fail in the future anymore . So, I started to push myself to make videos and short films. I started to have a lot of interesting ideas. I’m also a really big fan of YouTube I always watch interesting videos and short film and whenever I watch those videos, there’s always different ideas coming into my head. I’ve already made 8 videos and short films so far. Each videos and short film there’s always a story behind it.

There’s always challenge and frustration when ever I produce the videos.
Here are my challenges:
1. Writing Script: Writing script is a lot of frustration and confusion. For me, it’s very easy to start a story but it’s really hard to end because the ending always need to relate to the beginning.
2. Actors: It’s so hard for me to pick actors and actresses. I’m shooting at school so I have to use my friends as the actors and actress. Also, My friends are not the expert of acting so sometime it’s really hard for them to act. Some of them are shy, some are overreacting and I just can’t control them.
3. Editing: I’m currently a basic editor. All of my films that I created are all basic editing. I really want my video to be a good quality video but it’s hard and it take a ton of time.

All of my films that I created, I put them in my YouTube channel call That’sMeSoliday. I’m not really interesting to get subscriber on my channel but all I want is viewers because I want people around the world to see all of my creative films. Another channel that I created is to put the lip sync videos that I made with the students. The lip sync videos was defenietly the funniest videos I made.

What I hope in the future is that, I want at least one of my films to be live to my whole Country. It can be on TV. I just want everyone to see my films and also to teach them. I want to create films that teach people and to get them to know new things. By that I mean not just films, it can be a creative video, a funny video, a DIY, or it can be a music video.

Watch all the films that I made

Happy Khmer New Year

Happy Khmer New Year!
This is our country traditional celebration. We celebrate this every year. It happen in April 13th, 14th, and 15th. This is a three days celebration and each days there are different activities and different celebration. We usually go to pagoda to give food to the monk and we pray to our ancestor. At house we always decorate because we believe that it’s new year so we want everything to be new. We believe that there are angles for every year and there is a celebration that there are new angles coming and switch with the old angle. So at home we put food, traditional cookies, and others to celebrate for the new angles and also to pray for the ancestor. When we go to pagoda we always wear traditional clothes. When all of our family members come together we always play traditional games and sometime we do our traditional dance.
