We are bound together
This is always a good memories for me as time goes by.
I was born in one summer. as mom had a weak body, I was a premature infant. Very different from my sister's early stage(she had a full-time maid for 5 yrs).I was brought up by my dad. So after 42 days, when mom went to work,I was taken by dad to my nursery every day. As they realized that an intimate family relationship should be came from their own emotion payments...
The vehicle of us was dad's bike which was 28 inche, "blue Ridge" brand with black color. As I was too small to sit up at that moment, Dad prepared a small leather suitcase( removed the lid )as my cradle which was tied on the backseat of his bike and let me sleep inside.It was really an adventure, short trip for us, the law of traffic not allowed bike carrying a person in the street, a traffic police did find me one day. A tiny baby in the suitcase!
There was no doubt dad had to attend a short-term traffic law courses at weekends before the police retuned his bike to him. But how could we do next? Dad had to choose another small road which no cop there and I was still on his bike. 
Luckily it was not a long distance between home and their plant,then I could sit up before the winter came. A small bamboo weaving chair was installed on the tripod of the bike.I sat on in front safe and comfortble.just liked a chicken under the wings of dad.I could look forward and both sides freely.My eyes more sharper than dad at that time, always alerted dad to get off the bike before the cop saw us.
As time passed by, the small bamboo chair was replaced to a small self-made wooden pad to let my feet freed from that chair,later on I was big enough to sit on the tripod directly. Dad continued taking me to my kindergarten with his bike every day. We are trinity looked like. 
I remember there were two bells on the handlebar which brought me lots of fun; The left one was a single bell which sounded dull and weak,the right one was a double bell which sounded loud and strong. I was delighted to rang them,if not in urgent,I rang the left one,the right one was for those who was hard of hearing person. So I was always busy with the two bells. And then the dynamo-powered lamp on his bike was a magic to me ...
After many years from now, each time when I was riding on my bike outside,these sweet memories are vivied again; How he protected me from falling down when teached me riding bike. How the first time he guided me riding out in the street... Now my dad are getting older , it's time for me to accompany with him in his journey of life no matter what difficulty it would, We are two persons family which was bounded not only blood but also emotion which we are created years ago.
Dad, please accept my hugs and kisses in this special Father's day once more. I love you, Dad !
Thanks for reading,with my best regards to you!

Suspicious Deaths Update Lothian
On Monday, October 5, 2015 at approximately 12:56 p.m.., Anne Arundel County Police Southern District officers responded to the 600 block of West Bay Front Road, Lothian, Maryland for an unconscious male lying near a handgun. Upon arrival officers located an adult male subject suffering from an apparent gunshot wound to the upper body in the master bedroom. Fire department personnel responded to the scene and later pronounced the male as being deceased. The deceased male was positively identified as Anthony Joseph Anastasi Jr, a forty year old male from the 600 block of West Bay Front Road, Lothian, Maryland.
As patrol officers were conducting their initial investigation, an injured adult female was located in the basement area of the residence. The adult female suffered apparent trauma to her upper body and was also pronounced deceased by medical professionals. The deceased female was positively identified as Jacqueline Irene Riggs, a twenty five year old female from the 600 block of West Bay Front Road, Lothian, Maryland.
Homicide detectives along with technicians from the Evidence Collection Unit responded to the scene searching the area for any items of possible evidentiary value in regards to the death of these two individuals. Several witnesses were located and brought to the Criminal Investigation Division where interviews were conducted.
On Tuesday, October 6, 2015, the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner located in Baltimore Maryland performed an autopsy on Mr. Anastasi and Ms. Riggs. Mr. Anastasi’s cause of death was a gunshot wound while the cause of Ms. Riggs’ death was multiple cut/stab wounds.
As detectives sifted through the evidence recovered from the crime scene several items were forensically analyzed. The forensic analysis of several items of recovered evidence did not coincide with what the crime scene depicted. Working in conjunction with the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner the deaths of Ms. Riggs and Mr. Anastasi were both ruled homicides.
Through physical evidence along with witness and suspect interviews homicide detectives were able to piece together the events that led to this double murder. Ann Marie Anastasi was the wife of the victim, Anthony Anastasi, and had been married for eighteen years. Ms. Riggs had been an associate of the family and had been romantically involved with Anthony and Ann Anastasi. During the summer of 2015, Ms. Riggs moved into the basement of their residence located in the 600 block of West Bay Front Road which caused tension within the residence.
Within a short period of time, Ann Anastasi and a thirteen year old juvenile decided to have Mr. Anastasi and Ms. Riggs killed. They enlisted the aid of the thirteen year old’s boyfriend to commit the murders. During the morning of Thursday, October 15, 2015, the Homicide Unit worked with the Anne Arundel County State’s Attorney’s Office and secured an arrest warrant for Ann Anastasi. During the evening of Thursday, October 15, 2015 Ann Anastasi was taken into custody without incident in the 600 block of West Bay Front Road. She was charged with two counts of First Degree Murder, two counts of Second Degree Murder and the use of a Firearm in the Commission of a Felony. Ann Anastasi is currently being held at the Anne Arundel County Jennifer Road Detention Center on a no bond status.
The thirteen year old female juvenile was also located where she was taken into custody and charged with two counts of First Degree Murder and also Accessory after the Fact. The juvenile was remanded to the custody of a juvenile detention facility.

Internet Love is Valid!!
I have read a few blogs questioning the validity of internet romances. I for one believe that they do exist because I am in one right now. Given the fact that how can you have romance where there is not a physical aspect to it I can only say that feelings cross that border. Notwithstanding the scammers, having a legitimate relationship is possible.
With that I submit this story from the newspapers in the advice column "Annie's Mailbox" (If my memory serves me right!) I will only quote the writers important concerns:
It appears that the writer had an online relationship and her love died. She is in mourning and has been attacked by her family for being stupid. The young lady is now not only mourning but also in a very hurtful way because of her family's attitude towards her.
The writers for "Annie" have sided with her (and I agree) and have advised her to go to groups for those in like situations for support. "Annie" further advised her to ignore the situation by not mentioning it again to her family.
I tend to be very discreet about what I do in my personal life but this column in today's paper really struck a nerve. All of my life I have had to "explain" myself to my family and I really resented it.
I do things as a matter of choice and I don't comment on peoples life unless I am asked specifically by the person with an issue. I give my honest opinion and I respect their feelings.
Yessir, life is simple when you adhere to living it simple! In my relationship only my daughters know and they do not comment.

2017 - I do miss this site....
I have been on this site for many years now on and off of course. I got very addicted when I first started joining the blogs back in 2009, made heaps of lovely cyber friends here and just loved. It was like another place for me to come to in my own little world and interact with everyone that I had never met in person but yet could have this laugh and interesting conversation going...What a cool world!!! 
THen I left in 2012, and make a quick peek here every now then. Several times I just came in to say Hi to everybody and off again into my real world out there somewhere - God knows!! 
And today, I am sitting here now, read through the blogs. So many have changed., The layout of this site itself has changed. Read through the blogs and came across the few that were here back then when I was still alive and active on the blogs.
Year 2017, - it is always nice to have a place where one could come to and just read and interact with others from all over the world and I will try and stick it out here again for a while....that is if I am welcome back lol...
Anyway, all the best in 2007,,,,

Thirst for new
Today my Indian ex-classmate says he misses me so much and ... he would divorce if i agreed to come to him...even we just had some talks and walks togetger sometimes when we studied together a year ago and some online conversations now and then. He has no issues with his current family! Why are many men unloyal? Willing to abandon his wife who has shared nearly 20 years of ups and downs to run after his own new feelings that who knows will subside quickly after being satisfied?
Feeling bad for him but suddenly feel sorry for me lol. Why most of married men like me not single ones? Whereas, i m not looking for NSA or FWB. So ironic.
