God, Happiness and Life

It is Jerome's birthday. And I promised to make him pasta, which is one of his favorite food groupings. Though it was kind of stormy, the "celebration" turned out fine. The special someone is of course there. Cake and ice cream and good company. Happy Birthday my Son! Just remember, once you're over the hill you begin to pick up speed. Well said by ~Charles Schulz And recession or not, Never Stop Celebrating Life! God Bless and I Love You.

More birthday funnies in honor of my partner's special natal day. Humorous Quotes about getting older "Old age is not so bad when you consider the alternative." - Maurice Chevalier "You know you are getting old when the candles cost more than the cake." - Bob Hope "Middle age is when your age starts to show around your middle." - Bob Hope "I have everything I had twenty years ago - except that it is now all lower." - Gypsy Rose Lee "The longer I live, the more I see that I am never wrong about anything, and that all the pains I have so humbly taken to verify my notions have only wasted my time." - George Bernard Shaw "At 20 years of age the will reigns; at 30 the wit; at 40 the judgement.

It is my partner's birthday. There's a lot to say. But little time. So, I just choose to attempt at sounding funny... to feel happy... First off, I am borrowing these lines from somewhere on the web. At first glance, the jokes sound stupid. Overtime, though, some; if not most, ring true :-) 1. Men are like .......Laxatives ..... they irritate the crap out of you. 2. Men are like ......Bananas ...... the older they get, the less firm they are. 3. Men are like .......Weather ..... nothing can be done to change them. 4. Men are like .....Blenders ... you need One, but you're not quite sure why. 5. Men are like .....Chocolate Bars ... sweet, smooth, & they usually head right for your hips. 6. Men are like ....Commercials ...... you can't believe a word they say. 7. Men are like Department Stores .... their clothes are always 1/2 off. 8. Men are like .. Government Bonds ... . they take soooooooo long to mature. 9. Men are like .. Mascara ..... they usually r...

It's been awhile. Life could never be better. A big joke? Better career position, new business endeavors with foreigners as partners. The future looks very promising. Out of that loop. Choose to be. It is difficult to be where you do not want to be. Clash of ideas.. principles? Or even, personality types. Does it make sense? What you see in me is what you get, right?  No sugar coatings.   No  photoshopping,

My friend's daughter got pregnant. It is ill-timed. True. She just graduated from college and was dreaming of moving on to becoming a doctor. In fact, she promised her mother that she would help her other siblings finish their studies too when the time comes. Boohoo. Too late. I felt bad for my friend. She had enormous hopes. After all, daughter was intelligent ... ? Pretty. Seemed to be very level-headed. But why did things suddenly got out of hand? Because her mother failed to get her to move on to med school. Why couldn't she get it? Was it difficult to understand that it was only her Mom moving high heavens to get her family through life? Her Papa is busy doing something else. Obviously, this family is less important than the family he now has. Ahhh. Life. It can tear you into pieces. You can drown from your own tears. But what for? Stand up. Just like the way you always do. You are brave. In fact as I told you recently. You are my hero.

I got a rose on Valentines Day. "Sometimes called "the flower of light", one of the meanings of white roses is everlasting love - love stronger than death, an eternal love, undying and all sustaining. White rose speaks of a love that is sustained more by loyalty, reverence and humility". What can I say? :-) Thanks to this and this sites.

My post about Robert Kiyosaki, known world over as "financial guru cum motivational speaker", got me thinking about my own history of financial challenges. Issues that were resolved over time, because I tried very hard to right the wrongs; and just held on to the belief that nothing remains forever. At the moment, I still do not possess the financial freedom to relax and do the things I really want to do. Suffice it to say that I am fully aware that being an employee usually is a paycheck to paycheck kind of existence and more often, can not be better than running your own business, no matter how small. I resigned from an IT software marketing job in 1989 to become an entrepreneur in 1990. Thanks to my American based principals and by way of recommendations from their Singaporean partners, I was encouraged into going it on my own. For six years, I was practically, a one man army doing, marketing, sales, book keeping and other odd jobs that needed to be accomplis...
