we can not undo history but we can do something not to repeat it...
the past is gone, we have the present to deal with...problems should be dealt with humanely base on justice and fairness not by force, killing, lack of respect and value for the lives of innocents..

Agree with you Wen...shame, most of us people nowadays simply think of the money...one has to in order to survive but in some places and for some people , hospitality, kindness, dignity, respect are still valued more over money
Yes, it's part of the customer service but it does make me feel good that I give back a little for their kindness and I also consider than most of these people don't make that much from their hard work, a little bit of kindness will make them smile...an it does warm the heart to know you made someone's day even in a tiny way
I've witnessed countless baptisms there...really nice ceremony, I usually go with them every time there are groups of members ready to be baptized but I always tell them I'm not ready yet...the water was tempting but too muddy and the current too strong....I'll go for a nice swim but not to be baptized maybe one day...
Actually my friends asked me if I'm ready to be baptized in Jordan River this summer...you can imagine my difficulty in restraining myself from laughing out loud, that was the devil in me I guiess
Non was saying I don't fit in the bIble squad, he's wrong! I used to be a Catechist and thought Sunday school to little kids...special on month of May so I'm holier than he thinks!...will you please whip him for me?
The "chasing" would depend on what I feel towards the person... I used to be a hard work, that's because I was shy and had lots of inhibitions so I gave them hard time, took me many months to come around...but lately it's different, I like the guy, he chased me online, we played the cat and mouse game on messages, when we finally met, the chase was over...but all fun onwards Now, if someone chase me and I don't want him to chase me, I make it clear that I don't want to go any further, it's annoying when one starts hounding you trying to impress you, it's very awkward everytime they send a "friendship" gift and you have to politely refuse again and again ...if there's no chemistry from the start then it's a lost cause
I might hide things that I know would hurt people I care about but I'm all for honesty. I'm raising my son to be honest and very open to me, always reassure him that no matter what happened, right or wrong, as long as he's honest about it, I'm on his side
I've lived a very serious religious life respecting people and nature...always content and happy with my simple life ...now I'm after thrill, fun and adventure and refuse to settle for less. Farm life will be too quiet for me but if it means more time for fun and adventure then I'm willing to give it a try
hell yeah...for people who have no ties in their home country maybe...those who can just pack up and leave because nothing or noone holds them down so moving somewhere else seems to be a better option
but when "true Love" happens between two person whos has yet to finish some degree or has family they care about or has a job they value or those who don't care much for the weather and way of way in the other side then that so called true love is just a figment of our imagination
oh yes, somebody once said he's crazy about me and wanted to have babies with me and he said it's true love too
if I'm in Philippines, we have "pre-breakfast" usually very early morn like 4 to 6 AM: milk and special Pandesal ( special crunchy outside chewy inside freshly baked bread plain or cheesy) or some yummy sweet tiny colorful rice cake or Bibingka ( rice cake in banana leaf baked in charcoal oven...then we have a real breakfast around 8 to 10 am : garlic fried rice, sausage or some special cured meat, fried eggs and some tomato salad and fresh orange juice ...or coffee afterwards
Now, If I'm with Arabs, it would be tea, humus, filafil, kubus( arabic bread) , cheese, pickled, veggies, some slices of meats, eggs etc...it's also load...
If it's just me...coffee first thing in the morning, bacon, eggs, toast , orange juice, same goes if I wake up with my date.
If I have kids around me....pancakes, french toast, oatmeals, cereals...
