RE: Quote3

Good one Zeurich...thanks!

RE: Quote2

I know Zeurich...I can't get my message to her, right? So I posted it here...hope she could read this...

RE: Quote2

Hi Zeurich! I don't equate success to money at all...it is when I feel fully satisfied and happy with what I achieved in every big or small endeavors...in a relationship, success is when you know how to compromise and bring out the best in each other. Have a lovely day

RE: So its Easter.

Hi Non! Happy Easter too...

This is a nice thoughtful blog and the music is just great...thank you!

RE: Good Bye my friends!

Hey...that's a lovely Cat...I have to be cautious for Bruce,my parrot!

RE: Funerals And Other Unpleasantries.

Oh Cat...death creates a void inside us that could never be filled...all that's left to us are those bad and great memories, so as much as I can , im trying to create great memories with my love ones right now...

RE: Funerals And Other Unpleasantries.

Yes, Cat...I cried a lot for that loss...I am too far away, I felt so helpless that time, nothing I can do but cry...

RE: Has Anyone Seen

I'm sure he's ok, maybe just a little busy ...he'll be back soon...

RE: Funerals And Other Unpleasantries.

Yes Cat...we must do what we can for our love ones while they can still feel and appreciate it. I lost my grandma a couple of years ago...on her worst day I talked to her on the phone, she was asking me to come home cos she wanted to see me and my son before she died...I tearfully asked her to hang on and wait for me...she didn't, she passed away few days after our phone conversation...I felt so bad and her words 'come home, we miss you very much' still haunts me...

RE: Funerals And Other Unpleasantries.

Cat we also have a lavish after party...some would even roast pigs or cows...family spend a lot of money for funerals which I don't understand...we even have a special celebration at the third night after a burial that sometimes leads to wedding ceremonies within few weeks !

RE: Funerals And Other Unpleasantries.

Yes, Cat ...maybe partly cos of the will. In our tradition, family would usually hold a 2 weeks wake, it means people come and spend the night there gambling till morning...it would continue for 3 consecutive 9 days after burial day...the third day after burial we celebrate by going to the beach...some tradition that I find strange now.

RE: Funerals And Other Unpleasantries.

Hi Cat! You've said it all...when I was back home and had to attend funerals, my attention goes to those people who cried the loudest and I would wait who would faint first... Now I'm living here in a country where they have to bury their dead within few hours after he/she passed away...at first the tradition shocked me, so different from our tradition back home which we usually hold a wake for a week or 2 and have to wait till all the relatives are present and finally have the burial ceremony which could be very dramatic!

RE: The Italian Funeral

Hi Jim! Good one...just made me laugh at early morn here...goes well with my coffee! Have a lovely day!

RE: Let yourself be loved as you are

Thanks Shay! Your blogs brought me back those wonderful moments...I'm in need of a drink or two right now... and it's only 3:30 in the afternoon here!

RE: Let yourself be loved as you are

Hi Shay! Nice words, thanks! There were times that I felt really perfect...had that wonderful feeling that someone really loves me for who I am ,with all my flaws, and it felt so good. I wish I will have it again...Have a lovely day.

RE: What women want...

@ Ian...it depends on the way he say it, he might not meant it as a compliment. If it's nicely said then I'll thank him.

RE: Married guy

@ Ian...what is this all about? What's your problem?

RE: Tea And Cookies All Day?

Hi Cat...I do have a lot of worries...I tried so hard to follow all the rules. I guess you're right, I shouldn't worry that much...just enjoy and live life while I can...

RE: oh...

Smartie, what is this all about? What do you mean 'in love' and asking for help? Is he not in love with you? If so...you better wake up now before it's too late.

RE: Married guy

Hi Sarasvathy! No...definitely no...married men should be chatting to their wives. One married man here propositioned me a week ago, I politely turned him down and told him that I have respect for his wife even if he doesn't. Have a lovely day

RE: A note of thanks.

Hi THondae! Just want to give you this

RE: To H E L L And Back Again.

Oh Cat...not so bad here...there are many good places here too...the best place in the Middle East I believe . And yes, I've plan for flight out of here...going home soon...to that lovely sunny Island in Philippines...it's a little paradise...you'll be very welcome there too!

RE: To H E L L And Back Again.

I would love to Cat... But where is that place? I'm in a limbo here in Jordan right now...

RE: To H E L L And Back Again.

Ha ha....this is the kind of blog we need here, Cat! I, too, am wondering where I'll go from here...let me know if ever you find a good place to go one day and if they could accommodate me there too!

RE: When Last Did You Break A Heart?

Hi Cat! Yes, I'm guilty too. I broke a heart few years back but I'm not proud of it... It's breaking my heart but I'm about to break another one ..I just hope he'll understand one day.

RE: When Love Comes Knocking At Your Door.

I will, Cat. Very soon...

RE: When Love Comes Knocking At Your Door.

@ Cat...OK OK ! I will...I'll take all your good advises so wish me luck, I would need a lot of it! But how do I start?

RE: When Love Comes Knocking At Your Door.

@Iataoo....now don't feel so hopeless there... somewhere, some time, there's got to be someone special for you...just keep your eyes open...don't be cynical like our dear Cat here - won't do you any good at all!:

RE: When Love Comes Knocking At Your Door.

Oh Cat...I wish I could do that...I'm actually sorrounded mostly by people I barely have anything in common with...living in someone else's country right now, not really at home.

RE: When Love Comes Knocking At Your Door.

@ Wel, nice places, not bad at all but why the forest? I met mine through a friend, CS could be a good place too, don't you think so?

@ Cat...sorry, just girly talks...
