21st Century... Family, Loyalty, Trust

Well the last couple of days have been very interesting for me. I've had high points in my life, and i certainly have had my fair share of low points. But Sunday the 28th of September 2008 has to be the day i struk the lowest point of my life.

As far as i can see, the old concepts of honor, loyalty and family dont seem to mean anything in the 21st century. It is a sad fact, but nothing hurts more than when one is betrayed by a family member.

Which brings to mind the question, are we really alone? If we can't depend on family, then we certainly can't depend on other unrelated people. Personally i feel this is the case. And if so, so be it. One can be a good friend or worst enemy, depending on circumstances. But one must make hard choises. And in most cases, their choises go either way.

From my experience, i believe that we shouldnt depend on anyone in our journey though life. Live for today, dont worry about tomorrow. And more importantly, keep your friends close, but keep your relatives closer.

2008... The Year So Far

Well... time certainly has flew by. Hardly seems like yesterday when we were celebrating the new year. And already, 2009 is at hand.

So what did 2008 hold for me? Well it certainly has kept me busy. At least in my professional life. Things just have been so hectic.

But i do love my job. I enjoy what i do and most importantly i get paid well for it. So i guess i can't really complain.

On a personal level, 2008 so far has been an year of awakening for me. I've made a few realizations that have woken me up from the dream that i use to live in earlier.

For one thing i've decided to be more pro-active and get involved more in conservation. Now is the time to fight for nature, for tomorrow will already be too late.

And i am dedicating a portion my life to doing just that. End of the day i will do my bit to help nature. Do my part in trying to leave behind a decent world for the future generations to live in.

I was hoping to quit smoking too but i've realized that i just dont care. I've also come to realize that i am destined to live a short and lonely life.

So i will make the most of it and do what i can so that the day i leave this life, i will leave behind fond memories in peoples minds.

On a personal note, as usual 2008 so far has been a luckless year for me in love. Well thats not entirely true. The truth is more closer to the fact that i am still no closer to winning the heart of the girl i love.

And it looks to me like i never will too. But life must go on as they say. I dont think i will ever get over her. And i know her i will love her till my last breath. But for me there is no question of moving on.

Its gonna be her or no one at all.

One positive in all this is that now she is at least back in Dubai. I get to spend more time with her. But she is happy with another, so i am compelled to sit on the sidelines and be her friend as i have done for all these years.

To end on a more brighter side, i have seriously given thought to adopting a child. I know it wont be easy and it will take a few years. But fatherhood is something i know i am ready for. I'm ready to accept the challanges, the responsibilities as well as the consequences.

Well thanks for tuning in to another chapter to the disaster that is my life. I hope to make at least another entry before the year is out.

Perhaps a more joyfull one that this. So good luck and god bless to all of you.
