Something you’ll learn about me is that I’m an honest and open lady. When I was a ,i used to visit my father who is in the Armed Forces of the Phils. He told me one time he took an oath called the Honor Code. “I will not lie, cheat, or steal; or tolerate those who do.” This may sound corny but the Honor Code makes sense to me. Wouldn’t the world be a better place if we all lived this way?
Its very good of course.However -can we expect a perfect world too?It seems if we don't tolerate - then we split the world in half.Maybe we have a need to change those who don't honor that code.So we labour to show them the benefits.Then we realize our labour is in vain.
For the right man, no ocean is too wide, no mountain is too high, no locale is too distant.
He will always be the last...

and even with a calloused heart, i will continue to smile...
the truth has never been convenient.. and never will it ever be.. i knew what had to be known from the beginning.. i just had to ask and hear it for myself.. but this is not a wall.. nor a dead end.. more like a road bump.. i might've lost a few parts along the way.. but casualties are inevitable.. never mind about me.. just as you always have.. unmindful.. unwavering.. i opened the box to the medicine cabinet and knew i had to gobble down that one last bitter pill.. and gobble it down, i shall..
it.wouldn't.work.not.in.a.million.years
i continue to trudge on.... without you if i have to...

"MY LIFE at 32"

When you were 32 years old,how do you managed your life?
What were you thinking?
How did you think about your future?
We were all hungry for something that allowed us to move forward with time, & change the course of the day. Is the future always better? Mine hasn't always been. Not sure about this time- again-my nemesis of doubt. The 'hunger of the day' ? The hunger of the rest of my life...
How can one understand all they want to when they don't own life itself.
-----
I understand about for financial stability but let me explain my own experience. I’ve had some very happy times and some times that were not so happy. I’ve also had times when I’ve had a good income and times when I’ve had no income at all! Interestingly, there hasn’t much of a connection between my happiness and my income. As long as I had enough money for the rent and groceries, I could be happy. More money than that never made me happier.
I seem to be happiest when my family ‒ especially my daughters ‒ are doing well and my friends are doing well and when I’m living life as I should (honestly, with integrity and compassion, exercising, meditating, helping people, etc).
To answer my questions…
Right now I make very little money... only enough to pay for the place to live, food, and just a few extra things. My are 10,9,6 years old. At this age- 32, it is not one of the best times of my life. Even now, me and my girls talk about our times when they were younger and sometimes we wish we could go back to it. We were all together, things were simpler and we have a lot of memories.
Time goes by, guys.. being a parent becomes easier in many ways as the grow older, and the money we earn goes up and goes down. Whenever things seem bad, I don't worry they'll get better... and whenever they are very good.. I always remember to plan ahead for when they aren't as good.
I am full of questions now that I'm 32. I am unsure about the future. I don't know what I would do next. I was somewhat confident about the future. I had done well working in some companies and expected to continue to do well outside it. But I was nervous, too.
My plan is to get a job while i am home. My goal is to put up a small business. And I aside that goal I could focus on raising the .At 32, I would like to start my own business , I want to end up being a business owner someday.
If someone ask me this question: “What do you expect to be doing 5 years from now?” when I was 20, 25, 30, 35, and then 40 years old ‒ my answer would have always been wrong! The future never seems to work out as I expect it to.
For me life gets better as we get older only because we get smarter. I’m no more lucky these days than previously but I am happier. My mom sometimes complains about the bad luck that I’ve had in life but I don’t see it that way. Even though I’m a single mom I see life with the same attitude as the person who wrote this beautiful prayer…
“God,
Grant me the courage to change the things I can,
The serenity to accept the things I can’t,
And the wisdom to know the difference.”
I can’t say the problems I’ve faced never hurt me, but they never destroyed me. And I’ve never dwelled on them. The past is past. We can only accept it. If you drive a car looking always in your rear view mirror, eventually you’re going to crash. So I only look forward. And I’ve learned to appreciate the little gifts that come my way. Oh, I’m not perfect at these things. But I’m better than I used to be.
You said goodbye Nadine, What do you expect to be doing 5 years from now?
Best wishes to all....

Death is one of life's saddest things but its still part of life.We just have to realize dying is a part of life but sadness sometimes never completely leaves us.Best to remember good times of life with that person.My friend died last year as well,now here comes another death of another friend.. but I have to live because I know he would want me too.My friend would want me to live and remember him too. It keeps him alive- even as a memory in my heart. its very hard for me to talk about this.It's still a time im trying to overcome this.And i just hope always I will be alright cos i am always quite passionate whether angry or loving .
May you rest in peace...it's sad your gone...

sometimes, solitude is golden. we tend to think more rational when on our own, just having quiet moment with ourselves...
But helloo...I am back!

Those who fight for principles and what is right in history never benefit from the things they achieve but benefit only those who questionably deserve it or horrendously take it for granted..
