My moms' family is on different religion than my dads' and ever since I can remember my dad's side is pulling me to their side but my dad said I follow my moms. As I am growing I was caught in between because I wanted to follow my dads' but I have the pressure of my moms' family which then lead me to be baptized in my moms religion.
I don't regret what I did on following my moms though it is not what my heart really wanted because I believe in "freedom of faith," as long as you are doing what you think is in God's will and God is always in your heart.
When growing up and exploring the world I discover the difference and what I really wanted to follow. Until know I appreciated all I have learned about God and the strong faith I have to my moms' religion but there are things that I can say I am not so into them. Can we just have faith in God and don't belong to any sect?
When my mom learned that I am now on my dad's side and loving it she simply said "I won't force my kids to be on what religion because it is not right, they have to choose where they want to belong as long as they are happy on their decision." On that said "I love you more momsy."
And now I encountered people here, same religion with my moms, and they can't understand that I am not interested and why they can't leave me alone. People have choice, if you came to them once twice and they still not interested, for God sake please leave them alone!
If you force people to your religion that's not good in my opinion. Give them freedom. If we choose not to follow on your religion please, we have our own life and our own thinking don't try on saving us in this earth because you are not even sure if your faith will save you and will gave you the second life you believe in.

I am now confident driving on highways but not on freeway yet, I still have to practice more on parallel and parking though I am a bit good on reverse parking. But on the road, well I am enjoying it know, a little bit hesitant but much better. Hubby's comment is I am good on the road in fact he is already confident on me driving on highway. I am happy because I gained back my driving skill and I make my husband happy. Oh I made him happy and not, "happy" because I now drive my own truck and "not" because he is scared that I might have my own road trip when he is working, meaning I will drive myself anywhere I wish to go. hahaha which is somewhat true.

Last year I had a light accident with my truck, I wasn't hurt though but I badly damage the fender. Since then I really get scared of the wheel, after a year now I am recovering and gaining back my confidence. It's been couple months now that I am bugging my husband to come with me when I practice back my driving skills. At first I was like scared because my husband has a big mouth but then I did it, I am driving good but still I am not so good on parking especially parallel parking. My husband keeps on pushing me to practice parallel parking and I hate being push, he is just making me nervous. I have learned that I am a little defensive driver which sometimes not good, but I am happy to gain back my confidence and that's enough for now.

"Thing happened with a reason." When I first meet my husband I know he is the one but I don't know why. We have been in a long distance relationship that tested our Trust, patience and Love but also leave us with question "will this relationship work?
We finally back in each other arms and work hard to make the relationship work. We face so many adjustments and situations that need to be understood and live with it. In our first year it seem a little rocky but we made it worked and now I am proud to say we have less complication.
It just seem that things are working out really well and smoothly. I cannot imagine myself without my husband. He is the best man in my life.
He is working so late this days, arriving home at almost midnight and I am waiting for him the whole day and until late night and it makes me realized how much I need and miss him. =)

Our family relationship is one in millions "troubled siblings." I found it funny that even you are blood related but you have the bigger chances in having conflict with your family members. I know and see that there are mother and daughter issues, father and son and of course sibling rivalry or conflicts. Although we are blood related but we have different personalities, life principles and our own way of thinking and we are making our own life.
My brother and I literally have many things in common especially in our way of thinking. But my sister has her own world and her own thinking that sometimes it made me wondering with question "is she really my sister?"
What ever decisions she made in her life and the path she choose to follow, all I am hoping that she will be happy, successful, and will be contented on it. As I always remind her, it’s her life and it’s her choice. Whatever she chooses, she had to deal with it and never blame anyone else because that's her choice and she is the one making her future.
I admit I am not in good terms with her though I still feel for her but I believe that I have to let her go as a person so she can learn from her mistakes and realized that it's her journey, not mine. She had to face it by herself and stomach whatever its outcome. God Bless her.

You have an overwhelming feeling when you connect back to your long lost friends, schoolmates and classmates, former neighbors, in short "your past acquaintance."
In most cases they would not recognized you at first after more than 10 years of lost communication. Some can be your true good friend and some remain to be just "acquaintance." And the part that I hate most is when they turn to be your "friend with benefit". Like they are exerting effort to be so close to you and be your nice friend but wait a couple months and you will see that they are just after of something.
For instance, this person happened to be one of my school batch mates and I just reconnect with him online after 14 long empty years. Of course I trust him 50%, though I never thought he will turn like that, but right after couple of months he strain the communication by asking money from me which really turned me off. He now belongs on my long list of "friends with benefit or opportunistic".
My point is, money can "strain" any good relationship or friendship, IF, you know he's not in need and its plainly opportunistic move. It's okay when he badly needs it, but they are a little well off with secured jobs. Another reason is we are not related and I just know him because he happened to be my batch mate long long time ago and we're not even close those days. Then he have the nerve to ask money from me? lets say it's a joke (I'll take it) but hello, boy oh boy, it's a turn off move, a very very BAD move. I am willing to spare CASH "IF" the person badly needs it not just taking opportunity.

I just reconnected with an old friend and was sad to know his love life was in real bad shape. He was into a "casual relationship". He was like a shock absorber to his friend that turn to be his GF. The issue here is the girl love's somebody else but that guy was a seminarian so that means she can't have him but that's all she wanted, to have that guy and spend the rest of her life with him. My friend save this girl who wanted to end her life years ago and he turned to fell in love with this girl hopping that she will change her mind and realized her impossible dream and end up loving him the way she loved that guy of her dreams. I think their casual relationship took 8 years or so until they end up getting married but still the girls heart was not with my friend.
How sad and traggic to know this kind of situation. All I can help is advice my long lost friend though I am sure he won't listen to me. I was so surprice to know a very strong and smart person to be cought in that kind of relationship. I been there done that and be in his situation for a while but all I can say is "Geez I am still so lucky" to give up those stupid relationships and finally found my true love.
