collateral damage

The bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was it justified?

War is is a dirty business and yet it seems man never learns.

Does anyone feel that we're yet again heading to a possible extinction of mankind?

Note: if in fact, our earth is billion of years old, was it possible to have achieved such a technological marvel that killed mankind once or many a times?

Just curious.

Thanks all for your reads or comments if any.

Self Introspection

Who are we really? In our silence unperturbed and alone, do we encounter questions about us, the world and life in general?

Then when we're out there, in the open, do we feel vulnerable, or strong or simply feeling, leave me alone and I will do the same attitude?

Do we look at our children and deep inside of us, we feel that great feeling of being grateful and thankful we have contributed to the basic and prime obligation of man to create and fill this earth? Knowing what we have made and see them grow and they carry a bit if not most of our traditions and values that promotes good in their surroundings and world, give us even more fulfilling feelings and joyful that they turned out to be what you most hoped for?

There is no perfect life and most certainly there is no perfect being on this planet and yet at the end of the day, when all is said and done, we can own that feeling of being grateful being born and live our lives as good or as bad as it maybe, and yet again, when the sun rises, we can spread our wings and say: Thank you Lord for being alive and thank you for everything that I am.

And as the day goes by, we keep on searching who are we? But most of all what good have I done, for me, for my children and the world?

What can I do to make it better?

Thank you all for your reads and participation on my writes.

when our health is irreversible

A friend of mine is very sick. Lung cancer. She smoked for the last forty years of her life. Today she is in the intensive care unit and is waiting for a lung transplant. A most painful illness. Seeing her with all the gadgets that helps her breath air is just so difficult and very emotionally draining.

I can't believe that with all the warnings on these disease inducing habits, millions refuse to arrest or stop and it makes me wonder just how difficult is it to quit smoking.

She is my age but I can see how her skin and her look had been ruined by the toxic of this unhealthy habit. With force labor to speak, she is thanking me so much for being there for her and how lucky I am to have never smoked.

I don't think it is a matter of luck for me to not smoke or have never smoke. It is a matter of discipline and control, imo. I am thankful and of course happy none of my children nor their husbands smoke in spite of the fact that their dad did.

I just wanted to share how my days went the past few days and I am hoping she will get better and be home soon.

Now it is time for me to go to bed.

The Value of Friendship

To me, there is nothing more valuable in life next to my children than friends.

Yes, friends who believe in you, who supports you and know exactly what you are going through. Who is there to grieve with you when you lose a love one. Who is there to remind you how great life is after the struggle of some kind. Who cries, laugh, sigh, smile, with you in life.

I have four great friends with whom I can say, friends for life. One is my college friend, Marilyn who lives in Stockton which is only a couple of hours drive away. Retired Nurse. Then my friend of 34 years who lives in Geneva and can say the closest of them all as we see each other almost every year. Then Genie, for 20 years and Sandra for the last ten years. With the exception of Sandra, we are all retired from our respective professions. And of course, that gives us more time to see each other more often than when we were all working.

Each of these friends of mine all mean a lot to me as I am to them. No matter if I am married or not, I communicate with them, visit with them and thank God for the net now communication is faster and clearer and free.

Anyways I just wanted to share my great feelings of having great friends and I hope each and everyone of us have friends that truly make us feel life worth living.

Note: I do have a lot of good friends whom I met here on CS and while I only met about five of them in real life, they too, give me a lot of inspiration and make me feel how beautiful this place is.

Have a good day all.

to kill is against human law is it not?

Then why on earth do we allow religion in our realms that incite to murder us all?

Now you'd say they're only fanatics yet we see hundreds if not thousands of them trained to do just that.

Again I'm not here to say that all muslims are killers not at all.

I do know for a fact that there are good ones yet out of 1.3 billion and 3 percent of them visibly out to carry that provision, what guarantee do I have that this number doesn't get to a point where all of them will wake up and become a true follower and do as incited and ordered?

Note : San Bernardino is an example of those that have underestimated such notion.

WHEN DO YOU PULL AWAY FROM A RELATIONSHIP?

You think and feel you found happiness. You both fit. You both are too excited. But as you begin to settle down and discover things that rather overwhelm you and can't seem to make it work, you begin to feel the shudder of doubts and skepticism. But deep inside of you and your heart, you know you have a spark of love that keeps on getting inflamed now and then. But truth keeps coming at you like it isn't what you expected..

Something is evidently wrong. You know that feeling when it is circling around you like dark clouds building up to a destructive force worst than any storms you've ever been into.

The problem is: Not that you don't want to leave, but that it is very difficult to come up with an excuse why you should leave because there are some traits and characteristics that just blow you away.

Measuring up to your expectations are detrimental to any foundation of a good possibility of building up a strong commitment to stay. Yet giving more consideration seems like you're knocking at the gates of hell.

Question is when do you know when it is time for you to cut loose? Scram? Let go and go solo again?

These are very self explanatory questions sometimes but when it is you that is hurting and can't seem to find balance and trust in yourself it is hard. When you fear that the past will come creeping back and haunt you, it is not good. Yet your heart is so stubborn and your mind is going blinder than it ever was, it is very difficult. At least to me.

The truth is, not that you're not happy and content being alone, but admittedly there are so many good parts of this relationship that you've never encountered ever, and just want to stay longer.
Definitely if these issues are resolved (I know they can be resolved as love is truly there) then it would be heaven. Meantime, you're caught in a bam of two extremes where the middle point is hazy.


When do you salvage a relationship and when do you shrug your shoulders and let go? Or move on?

Thanks all for your participation and sharing your experience.

To believe or not

This topic is almost as controversial as life itself and I have always maintained my own belief without necessarily be sensationalized but given all the celebrated topics on the blog lately, I am so tempted to yet again, explore a very sensitive and almost excruciatingly injurious and laborious to the mind discussion: The belief or no belief of GOD.

The question is why do you believe? Reasons? And if not, why?

Below is my personal reasons and I have maintained these reasons after so many books I have read and after so many discussions I have engaged with.

I believe because, if the collective geniuses of the world including but not limited to Dr. Neil Tyson de Grazzie, a Quantum Physicist and Dr. Richard Dawkins, both well known professors at well known Universities, can't explain to me in layman's word the origin of this universe and until today CAN'T TELL ME WHERE THE END OF THIS Vast and expanse of space, then I have to give my belief to whom I call: God, and I am just and insignificant being. Having said that, I also believe that yes, there are other planets out there similar with us otherwise, all this space would be such a waste. If we truly are just but a tiny speck on this planet among millions more of galaxies in the Milky Way. (Coincidentally, NASA reports to keep discovering so many planets that are similar to ours but can't be sure about sustainability of life yet.)

Thank you so much for your participation and opinions.


I respect all other's belief (except those that are bent to harm and kill others) and no way am I imposing mine to anyone as I expect them not to impose their beliefs on mine.

Thank you all for your contribution and or reading.

And for the fellow members of the Christian world, may we all have a Happy and Joyful Easter.bouquet

funeral

I have decided and put in my will that when I pass away, it will not be a big deal. Meaning no celebration, no eulogy, no accounts and no gathering. Just a very silent but solemn prayers from my children. Cremate me and pour my ashes to the Ocean. Particularly at the foot of the Golden Gate Bridge. Well none of them want to agree with that but I told them my wishes anyway.

An acquaintance who is a pastor passed away and of course, I attended the service. What a mind changing experience. Most of the time we were made to laugh and cry and laugh and smile. I think I might just agree with the wishes of my children but I am not quite sold to that idea yet.

Anyone who wants to share their opinion on this thought is most welcome. Otherwise thanks for reading.

Have a good day.bouquet

Terrorism is just a part of our daily lives

I wish I can only talk about love. I wish this world is inundated with nothing but peace and love. But reality is hard to face when our world is rocked by terrorism. And many of us just want to fold it as though it never affect any of us.

Well not me. You can say anything you want but I will talk about it for as long as it is happening. It is my right.


Belgium attack is not an isolated case. In fact it is just a part of very ordinary events that is now happening in our times.

My advice? Be very vigilant and pray that it doesn't happen to you and your love ones. Be very observant.

Obama has the audacity to say that it is not about religion. What do you think this is?

America in 20 years or perhaps sooner,

http://www.wnd.com/2016/01/islamic-rage-erupts-over-christian-march/


This was sent to me, and while I don't want to rattle our world with such encumbrance, I believe we have a lot to learn on this.

If infact if the muslims are bent to caliphate the world, then is there anything we can do to discourage inflamed encounters like this?

Note: We all like to live in peace. We all like to embrace our freedom of religion but what happens when we are feeding innocently to the birth of obtuse and decadence on our rotten religious intolerance? Who is who? I mean who is tolerant and not?

All I want is to live without harm and or destruction. Certainly not exposing these events happening in our midst will not improve our common goal of living with freedom, is it?

ADDENDUM: This blog is to reinforce my goal of making my country able to learn and establish a direction to avoid making it as bad as what is happening in Europe. You may label me as a hate spreader and that is your choice. I prefer to call it creating a dialogue by making the emphasis of looking at it for prevention in my country.

I didn't create this. I didn't have anything to do to make it happen. I am only digesting and dissecting it for improvement. I know that we are not there yet, but if we can do something to prevent it from happening I will do everything to support that.

I am labeled as a hate spreader? Give me a break will you? The very acts of these evil people are the ones who are doing it. We are responding very civilly to save the future of humanity.

Thanks all for your reads.

I am so blessed, I still live in a country where freedom of speech is an inherent right.

Wake Up America, Before It Is Too Late!

Good morning blog world.

After a heavenly trip to the Caribbean for 10 days on board a luxury cruise liner the MSC DIVINA, which is an Italian based cruise line, it is not very easy to adjust and come back to reality. Specially of the fact that my best friend is a holder of the top and highest designation for having cruised at least a 100 times and we were called on first to board. Out of 3,567 guests we were called in first and very rarely treated like royals. Complete with so many accolades like dine with exclusive privileges and all. Anyways, I have been to many of these cruises complete with royal treatment like eating lobster every night and in the top suites but the amenities on this ship far exceeds some of the best cruises in the world and they wanted us to make sure that we are aware that there are new 6 ships being built that will surpass this one. With 18th floor, this will be even bigger than any existing cruise liner they said.

But of course life goes on and whether I like it or not, I have to tune back in to my world of political squabbles. Not because of fear mongering, racism, nor any other reason than to help understand what is happening and how it can be improved.

Of course there is a lot of you on here who always think otherwise and absolutely seething to hate me, but it is okay. I am only here to reaffirm the facts that are happening on current events as global and local. If only to find a way to resolve this war torn world before ultimatum are used and puff we are gone.

My children and I spoke about the politics and they know how passionate I am of course, advised me to settle down and leave it to the lunatics who are running the system but with California being over run by the socialist leaders with the likes of Pelosi and Feinstein, I am committed to look at the other side of the fence. I voted for the manipulator Obama. What a big mistake. Only on his last term that I realized how he sold my country to the muslims. You will not believe it, specially if you are one, but you have to understand, I am not a muslim and neither will I want my children and their children to be. You already know the more than thousands of reasons, why so and the following is just to warn those who pretend to fail to understand where I am coming from which is led by Trump my hero.


Below is the essence of this blog. Anybody who doesn't agree my position is welcome to oppose with me, but please no insults. I am only sharing this piece of information which I find it to be true.

Unbelievable how this all happened right under our "watchful eye"!

This information has all been checked, then double checked... it is
100% Correct.

Trump keeps his legacy strong

Man's ability to create amazing things baffle my mind. I have seen so many wonders in the world and it's absolutely remarkable to be at awe with these amazing creations. Among other things are the luxury liners that take people to many destinations in the world. While I have been to many cruises in the past, the MSC Divina which is an Italian ship offers many new amenities that just can't be left unappreciated. If you're amazed by the treatment of hotel intercontinental services, the beyond excellent tradition of the Italian hospitality is worth writing about which embodies and absolute luxury and pleasure in terms of food, accommodations and services.

Not to brag, just to share my recent experience. As a member of the elite and rare black club, (highest designation) my friend of 33 years and I we're the first to board the ship which took more than 6 hours to settle 3,560 guests.

Anyways this blog is to express my jubilant mood about the results of super Tuesday.

Trump, my candidate is rising higher than expected.

One critique from CNN mentioned that this represents the people's anger and frustrations again from the incompetence of the current administration. I can't be happier.

Anyways I am having fun traveling the world but my passion for the future of my country is unabated so here I am celebrating and just want to greet the blog world from the Bahamas.



Congratulations fellow Trump supporters
