Today I experienced a very funny discussion. I couldn’t stop laughing and I was in tears. There is this nice lady who works in the office. She is from Ecuador and can’t speak English very well. She indeed is very sweet and although I can’t understand half of what she says but still I enjoy her presence. So today I and bunch of others were having lunch (Greek food) which rice was a part of it. So every one started to talk about how to make rice and this lady in an heavy Spanish accent said: “my neece makin’ rice, she cook rice first, when finish’ she adds” and then she stopped, looking for a word. When she couldn’t come up with any word to fill the blank, she started to sing…” da da, da, da, daaaaaaaaaaaaaa, la la, la, la laaaaaaaaaa”&hellip ;..everyone looked at her and then I said “Spinach?” she said yes very seriously and continued. I laughed so hard, I could not stop laughing. That was a smart and funny way to search for a word….lol can you guess what song she was singing?..............
Papay the sailor man…..papay the sailor man….looooooooooooooooool
Today I felt like writing, may be because I have so much to do at home and at work, and I just don’t want to think about them. This morning as I was driving to work and listening haphazardly to the public radio and war in Georgia, some words and statements that I recently heard came to my mind, I realized that I still can’t make head or tails of them. One thing that bothers me the most is I am very passive when it comes to certain things. I don’t like to argue and insist on things, it’s like this “Ok let them say what they want, let them think that I am dumb if it makes them happy” I don’t believe this is a good attitude. In short I don’t like to confront people when I don’t agree with them. I might to some extent, but when I see their persistence, then I give up, “Ok you are right”. I used to get angry and upset when I would let things go by, I used to sit up all night and think, I used to ask why all the time. I guess for whatever reason I just accept people for who they are and what they are. I have tried so many times with so many people, family and friends to help them see the light, by only being myself and make them feel at ease to open up and say what they want and how they feel, but sometimes I feel like I have not been so successful. Of course in certain instances like people who really matter to me like my family and very close friends I still try and try and try till the day that I see their problems are solved, but in other instances I let go……&hellip ;… For the past six months I tried to help a family member a loved one who was really in trouble by only opening up to her and talk about my weaknesses to let her open up and I did succeed in helping her, but recently I see her plunging into the same spot that she started. Her mother asked me to talk to her again, I shall and I will till I die because she matters to me. I don’t know how successful I will be but it is worth every effort to see her happy and cured. I guess I am just babbling and whoever read this may not understand what I am saying but I do. I never use metaphors, I really don’t know how, I just say what I know and how I feel in simple words so those who know me would understand me. I know one thing though, no matter how you try, no matter what you say, no matter what you do to make some people at ease and comfortable, you can NOT change the nature of people, they are what they …….. I have daily prayers that I received in mail and read it every morning and in it there is a certain paragraph that I love the most, it says: Give me the strength, so that I could help the weak. Keep me uplifted, so that I could encourage others. Give me knowledge, so that I could provide direction to those who have lost their way. I pray …for peace. Love and joy to dominate my family’s and friend’s lives, and that all their needs be met Amen……&hell ip;.
I guess I never learn my lessons. Or may be I’ve learned them and want to explore the possibilities or may be I am in my unconsciousness trying to bet on the odd and win. Whatever it is, one thing is for sure that the media is fully working and I can see the result. I just like to see how far it goes……just curiosity, nothing else.
I recently noticed some odd and strange IP appears in my blog. I found out that the Tblog administrator knows about it. I hope he fixes it soon.
I've been having a great time with my family who arrived here last week. It was kind of a happy yet sad experience. I believe because you care for the people whom you love, you also can get hurt easily and sad when you see how they are ruining their lives. You feel like you want to do something, but you also know that is useless, so how do you feel? Sad and almost in tears wishing that God may shed some light into their souls :.....(
On Sunday, Just rest
