We were without internet for 3 days now because of virus problems. I'm just using an internet cafe here in our country and it's not so comfortable unlike home. Anyway, thanks for your visit and I expect you to be back in Dubai in our next correspondence. It will probably take a longer time before I can make a short story since I'm really not comfortable here.

I don't do copyrights, for my articles were all inspired by God. I can never take any credit for them. <BR/>You are young and very bright and you have a bright future ahead of you. Just acquire the right and timeless knowledge and they will serve you in good stead when the going gets rough in life. Listen to the inner voice in your heart rather than the blaring noises on the outside. The jangling noises of the world will just lead you astray. Learn to distinguish between the timeless values in life as against the worthless trinkets of the world. Then you will discover your true purpose in life. <BR/>As the Good Book says, "people perish for lack of knowledge." Just a few reminders from a journeyman who is nearing his final destination in life. May the light of God shine upon you in your quest for truth and knowledge.

You average 500 to 600 comments per post. Wow, that's simply amazing. And you post articles of universal appeal since you take the cudgels for the oppressed and downtrodden. God bless you more for your noble and worthy endeavors. I salute you my friend for the efforts you make to bring justice to those who are victims of injustices in their own countries. My prayers go to you and to all those you are assisting. God bless you my friend with all the blessings and graces that God can bestow to a noble person like you. Have the best time of your life in sunny Portugal.Mel Avila Alarillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00166954063114607598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5054594798489525410.post-50306982864469110552008-01-05T13:26:00.000-08:002008-01-05T13:26:00.000-08:00Hi Noushy,Thanks God you're over your hangovers.

He, he, he. *lol* I mean the feeling of love, not the physical thing, lest I might be misinterpreted as being green. He, he, he. I'm so glad you had the most wonderful time with your triple celebration. It's not everyday that you get to celebrate your triple celebrations with the whole world. Isn't that really fantastic. You must be feeling on top of the world last Dec. 31. And who wouldn't be? You're good, nice and wonderful that's why God has blessed you so much. Just remember never to disregard Him in everything you do and He will bless you more, you and your loved ones. May this year 2008 bring you more blessings and fulfillments in life.<BR/>God bless and have the most wonderful time of your life in foggy (still foggy and chilly eh?)

How I miss the wonderful voice of Karen Carpenter. I read that Richard is planning to revive the recording of the Carpenters and he has found a Filipina whose voice is exactly like Karen's after a worldwide search. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that soon we will hear again that familiar voice that popularized the Carpenters in the seventies and eighties. Thanks for your visit and your warm greetings.
