MONEY, HAPPINESS & LOVE

I honestly believe that money cannot buy happiness and love. Happiness is the side-effect of feeling physically or spiritually fulfilled, it is how we feel when we are not destroying our lives.

Happiness is how we feel when we can see that we are progressing in the direction that we want to, it is when we can see all that we dream of obtaining getting closer to us.

Money cannot directly buy happiness as it is something that is as individual as the person seeking it and not material in nature, it is a state of being. You can brainwash a person into feeling some kind of happiness, but real happiness only comes from honest personal growth.

Now love.

Love is a feeling that doesn't lie. When we love or are in love there is no denying it, it controls our lives and determines how our bodies feel.

Money cannot buy love because love is also a state of being and no matter how much money someone gives you unless you actually love them you cannot fake it. Your stomach will not quiver, your eyes will not hunger nor will your heart grow heavy for this person who has bought your love.

Disillusioned individuals believe the hype that money can buy happiness and love for them. But this is a self-destructive idea indeed because being unaware of the lie these people will continue to spend money to buy their happiness and buy love from others. Buy if they just look at what they are doing they will see that they are stuck in an endless cycle where they spend money for temporary happiness and love which leaves them unfulfilled as soon as they have been satisfied.

With the media machine being what it is today it is highly unlikely that they will promote happiness and love as being separate from material possessions. They try to convince us that chocolates, soda, computer games, etc will bring us happiness. They also try to convince us that sex is somehow the same as love. We are all part of a very dangerous brainwashing program so it's up to the individual to make their own mind up about it.

So in conclusion money cannot buy real happiness and love, all you will receive is the illusion of happiness and love for your money. But beware of the addiction that this brings along with it, a false association between money and happiness will further drive you into confusion and you will lose the idea of what it actually means to feel fulfilled.

You have to decide what is more important in life the real love between a man and woman or the material things that money buys. More importantly if a man and a woman really love each other and respect each other no one should be able to come between them.

Even though the idea of a billionaire trying to buy a married woman for one night seems unreal, the thought of the importance of money in our society today is not so unreal. The concepts of marriage, love, trust and forgiveness are all very important in a lot of people’s lives.

Missing You...

I don't know what's happening to me today, I just can’t explain it. Suddenly I felt jealous for no reason at all but got to managed it and realized that it was not worth to ruin my day just for this absurd thing.

And then found myself staring blankly and tears begun to fall in my eyes thinking about my 2 nephews in Philippines who were living alone without the presence of their parents. I am worried, bothered thinking about their whereabouts, their condition and their plights. My heart shatters whenever I think of them. Who shall I blame? I was thinking that life is so unfair. Why these things should happen to my nephews. They don't have the father to look after to everyday that they have problems, when things go wrong; who shall they approach? who shall protect them?, who shall guide them since they were still young?

I don't know if I shall blame my sister for she left her kids at such a young age. She should have fought harder for her kids and she shouldn't let her cancer end her life. I am sorry if I am thinking this way, I know I am not getting rational in the way I am thinking but till now I could not comprehend these things. I still can’t accept her passing. My nephews had their father but it seems he's invisible and unreal for he's too far from them if they want them anytime that they needed him. I felt so sad and depressed; they're too young to experience these things.

Yes, I know my parents are there and can protect them, love them and guide them, but still the real presence of a family is what they need. I have taken the responsibility as their parent with no regrets. When my sister entrusted her kids to me and when she told me that I should exceed the love that she had given to them, I promised that I will never leave them, that I will take care of them and love them as much as I can and do my best though I am far from them.

There are no days that I am not thinking of my sister. I missed her so much, I love her so much and her kids. I may have done wrong towards her but the love I had for her will never fade. I am too sorry for all the wrong things I have done to her and may the lord bless her soul.

Wherever you are now, I want to let you know that I will keep my promises to you and will always love your kids.

When Love Prevails

We all have ideal mates, we dream of them, we try to look for their qualities in people that we meet and sometimes if we find them, we stalk them hoping that they glance our way and hope that cupid has his bow and arrow ready. We hope and pray that we’ll all find our knight-in-shining armor and wish that he’ll be tall, dark and handsome until reality sets in.

Falling in love can be such a wonderful experience and sometimes it can be so intense that you become a different person. Your thoughts, feelings and actions can rule everything in your life. There are times when you are on ‘cloud nine’, and refuse to come down to reality. I am sure that I am not alone when I say that falling in love is the greatest experience; especially when encompassed with passion, the same mind thought and every moment is treated like there is no tomorrow. You can’t get enough of each other and when you are apart, your stomach goes all tight and you can’t eat or sleep.

Love is a major part of life, and should be handled with care, not treated like an easy game to win or lose. For those who have found their soul mate, treat them with respect, kindness and honesty. For those of you still searching, do not give up, at times it may seem hopeless, but God works his wonders in mysterious ways, and has a plan and partner for everyone.

Love as far as I know, is what a person feels for another without any kind of physical or mental barrier between them. They live purely to be with the other to share experiences, pleasures, problems and pain. It’s the one feeling that makes one feel like they are stuck in a dream. You feel like you’re on top of the world, and nobody can stop you. With love there comes a sense of numbness, that sense that you cannot actually believe what is happening because it seems to be impossible that this is what is actually going on. Being with the person you have longed to be with for so long is such an overwhelming feeling. Of course, as with everything, there is a down side to love as well if it doesn’t work out as it so certainly should have. The fair truth is that love hurts. Not like a physical pain, or even like the pain of a big disappointment. It is a form of pain so overwhelming that it is like love itself in the sense that it occupies all of your thoughts, your time and the totality of you as a person.

They say that love is blind but I beg to disagree with this cliché because I believe love opens up our eyes to the beauty of each person and enables us to see their shortcomings. I believe everyone has a certain, special someone and for those who don’t have they may find someone eventually perfectly suited for them. Everything happens for a reason, even if the reason seems a bit cloudy or uncertain at first. Follow your heart and trust yourself to make right decisions, but do not give your heart out quickly to any passersby.

God created the human race to love one another, and care for each other. That is the blessing of being a human. We are able to control our thoughts and feelings, but cannot help who we fall in love with.

Fallin For You

Many will chase and run after you
Expression of affection and intent will surround you
Promises uttered, sweet words flies in the air
Endearing words used as bait
To purposely sway and ensnare you

Falling on these things you don’t permit
Cause you’re different from the rest
Sincerity and honesty is what you value
From the person who will truly cares for you.



You truly deserve the qualities bestowed upon you
And for humbly taking compliments
From those who likes you
And this makes them fall for you

There’s a person who is truly happy
From the moment they have met
Since then that person lingers to see him
Bothered and unspoken
Whenever in front of him

Dormant feelings become active
After years of getting broken
Unexpected to be reciprocated
For he was snobbish then when first met him

No regrets if you will fall for him
For he truly appreciate the things you do for him
Which you will surely cherish
When the moment comes that
You have to depart from him

Longing for your Love

Im holding you in my dreams
every night that im sleeping
the beauty of your face
keeps appearing in my dreams

Whenever I wake up from the
profundity of silence sleep
its your affectionate presence
I linger to embrace and foresee

The sun rises shining thru my face
the gentle wind blows caressing my senses
same as you that runs throughout my veins
passionately invading my broken heart for years

My inspiring day shall commence
with the picture of you in my head
when I have loved you my day never ceases
longing for your conditional love and kindness.

My day will never end without your existence
Your uttered loving promises kept me gripping
hope for the day to embrace you completely
and share the love I had with you certainly.

Holiday Escapade

I just wanted to share our pictures which were taken in various places of Khobar during our Eid Holiday Vacation. We enjoyed our short stay there and had fun with the rest of the guys. It was a lovely experience for us to explore its place and got more time to unwind ourselves.

Ramadan Company Outing

Just recently I attended an outing sponsored by our company – Malath Insurance held at one of our colleague’s owned straha (September 2, 2009). It was attended with various people from different departments of the company. The event is set to start at 9pm but there were only a few people then. I went there along with my officemates and we invited some of our closest friends to attend and celebrate with us. While waiting for others to come before finally starting the program, we acquainted ourselves with some of the employees we haven’t seen for quite sometime.

After few minutes the program started and there was some kind of a motivational talk and career-boost presentation by one of my bosses. It was followed with a raffle draw and a lot of prizes are at stake then but there was never a single chance that my name was drawn to win any of the prizes or at least the major prize – Bravia TV. Anyway, there was no regret and I am still happy because I got a personalized T-shirt and a mug with my picture on it which was presented to me during the presentation.

We, Marlon, John, Marz and friends of ours Mark, Nestor, Lance and Ronald who went with us in our company outing, perked up the night and we played various games, like volleyball and other games which are known only to our homeland. Our officemates who got to see us were amazed and they enjoyed as well watching us.

We totally enjoyed the outing which obviously shows on the pictures I have posted here and its really good to have an event like this where we could get the chance to know other staff of the company as well as wind down ourselves from stress after months of continuous work.

For special friends of ours, thank you for coming with us.
