In This Position I Am Tranquil

At last in this position I am tranqil!........................... Ooops................ I think he meant tranquil, and obviously from the many spelling as well as grammar errors, he will need to be in that position for a long time to be tranquil.

My Little Angel Is Not Little Anymore

My little angel is 15 now, she has turned out to be a pretty young thing, yet still very obedient and there is an innocence about her that melts my heart. Looking at her now and realizing that she will be living away from me soon is very difficult to grip, but like the saying goes “If you love someone so much you have to set them free”. I will trust her to spread her own wings in a place that neither she nor I know much of, but for her future I know she understands.

Mama will always love you like I will always love all your other three siblings, I don’t want you to be afraid if there are times that you stumble and fall. I may not be there physically to pick you back up again, but my prayers will accompany you wherever you are.

Happy 15th Birthday again ‘mek’, I am so happy that you have the best time of your birthday yesterday.

My little angel is not little anymore but she is and will forever be an angel to me.

Eurofighter Typhoon

We took the girls out yesterday to enjoy the celebration of the Independence Day here. The weather was just nice to me while my medic princess is not liking it too much, but she was game for anything.

Among all the military equipment on display, I was attracted to the Eurofighter Typhoon. It was such a beauty, so proud, so magnificent, so strong and a real stand out among the rest of the planes that were on displayed. I wanted to go up and see the inside of the cockpit but the queue was really long, and it does not help to make them wait in the cold weather just for me to see and feel what I wanted.

The Eurofighter Typhoon so far has been ordered and in possession of only six nations as you can see from the pictures above. I cannot help but wonder why Kingdom of Saudi Arabia would be among one of the said country. I guess when you are farting petrol, no boundary is too big.

Anyways, it would be a dream come true for me to be given the opportunity to fly in this plane once in my remaining life. Who knows, maybe, maybe not but I will go on dreaming.

My Angels Pretty In A Row.................

I told my angels:

Do not get married just because you are being pressured to do it.

Do not get married just because you think it is fashionable to do it.

Do not get married just because everyone your age is into it.

Do not get married just because you think the world will scorn on you being a spinster.

Do not get married just because you think all there is to a marriage is lust.

Do not get married just because you don’t want the world to think that you are not desirable.

Do not get married until and unless you are very sure that you can already be a responsible spouse.

Do not get married until you have enough savings to buy your own wedding.

And once you are married:

Do not be afraid to walk out of a nasty marriage

Do not be afraid to walk out with your kids rather than stay in a miserable marriage and pretend to the world that you are blissful

Do not, I repeat do not ever bring your husband to live under my roof just because you both could not afford a home. By doing so you will only bring shame to your spouse’s parents.

Do not hang your dirty laundry in public, just because you are desperate for sympathy due to your own shameful behavior.

Do not share with anyone at all be it, your parents, your best friends or your enemies except the Lord on your domestic secrets, as the decision to get married was yours and yours alone.

Do not share all your intimate secrets with your spouse or anyone else for that matter, your best kept secret will be within your own self only.

Anyways there many other things that I was able to share and tell my angels, now that all three of them are with me and I hope that they will take some directions from what has been reminded of them.

My angels pretty in a row……………………..

I Was Smiling Back

Using a public toilet anywhere in this world is not one of my favorite things, especially living here now; all the public toilets are not equipped with a water hose. But you can never fight nature’s call; last Saturday when we were in Parndorf I had this urgent call to visit the toilet.

The queue to the ladies cabin was far too long, I have no choice but to stand in the queue and wait for my turn. I have no idea how many cabins there were, judging from the queue I think they were very limited.

While standing in the queue I saw an able woman using the handicapped cabin, and when she left I was very tempted to use the cabin, but my conscious told me to wait and see if there were any handicapped people in line, obviously there were none. Suddenly, I saw another woman at the back of the queue making an attempt to take advantage of the handicapped cabin. No way was I going to let her do that. Like a flash of lightening I found myself inside.

The cabin was not a pretty sight, leaving me with no choice but to start cleaning the toilet seat thoroughly before using it. Once I got seated I started to scan the whole cabin, it was big and equipped with a private sink. This is just perfect for me; at least there is water to wash. Then I looked on the floor, and hey, wait a minute, there was a hundred euros note smiling up at me. I thought this was just an illusion from being a minute janitor, I continued with my business, yet my attention took me to where the euros were smiling at me.

The excitement just cut short whatever was bothering my stomach earlier. I went to pick up the smiling euros, and was I surprised that inside the smiling hundred euros were more smiling euros. At that moment I started to smile too, I guess I was just returning the smile from the euros.

You will never know when you can get lucky………………….. today was mine, and I am smiling still.

UEFA Champions League

Future David Beckham in the making, the kids was given the opportunity to play against each other at the UEFA Champions League opening here. No one was bothered by the cold weather and the strong wind except for Chef Diva.

My Gossip Girls

For three days now, they are the reasons for all the silly things that make me laugh uncontrollable, that make me feel more secured and that make me feel so appreciated and love.

They are my gossip girls.

Bad Lieutenant

The Bad Lieutenant was here only in a different role. A champion for human trafficking, but look again don’t you think he has that eerie Bad Lieutenant look implanted?
