Raoul

Thank you Sir Raoul for the kind and encouraging words..I guess I dread the fact of transitioning to "civilian life" and not having a job anymore..you're right I just need to adjust, and set realistic goals to have a "good retirement". BTW I hope you don't mind; Are you in the service? Are you active duty? Have a great day.

Your concerns are quite valid. After having that "security blanket" for 20 years, all of a sudden you'll be faced with the big UNKNOWN factor. Prepare for it. Use TAMP to the fullest. Start sending out feelers as far as jobs - if you still have a need to work. As a vet, you will always have an advantage.

boss eagleyes..baka gusto mo rin ng private security..I think I'm qualified as I have been doing isecurity work for a while..hehehehe..lam mo na ikaw na lang ang maswerte..let me rephrase ikaw ang nagtagumpay sa lahat ng hardwork mo..di naman isnisilbi sa pilak na plato ang swerte di ba?

MA?

There are a lot of vets who have opted to retire here and managed to make it even with PO1 retainer pay (just basing the presumption on your collar device). It's just a matter of knowing what you want, setting your goals and sticking with your plans.

Anchor's Aweigh! Cheers!

and yes I do..

Are you really that scared??

Maybe you should allow me the liberty of deciding whether you're worth knowing or not instead of presuming that you know how I would react.

Dan Gallagher: You're so sad. You know that, Alex? Lonely and very sad.

Alex Forrest: Don't you ever pity me, you smug bastard.

Dan Gallagher: I'll pity you... I'll pity you. I'll pity you because you're sick.

Alex Forrest: Why? Because I won't allow you treat me like some slut you can just bang a couple of times and throw in the garbage?

Telephone Operator: Operator. May I help you?

Alex Forrest: Operator, I've been trying to get 555-8129. 212? The recording says its been disconnected.

Telephone Operator: Just a moment please.

Telephone Operator: I'm sorry, the number's been changed to an unlisted number.

Alex Forrest: Operator, this is a real emergency please. You need to give me that number.

Telephone Operator: I'm sorry. We're not allowed ot give out that information.

Alex Forrest: Well f#&k YOU!

Telephone Operator: My place or yours?

Another Monday, Two Months Later

Now I have the time

to take you riding

in the car

to lie with you in private deserts

or eat with you

in public restaurants.

Now I have the time

for football all fall long

and to apologize

for little lies and big lies

told when there was no time

to explain the truth.

I am finished

with whatever tasks

kept me from walking

in the woods with you

or leaping in the Zanford sand.

I have so much time

that I can build for you

sand castles out of mortar.

Now I have the time

to see bad movies

and read bad books

aloud to you.

I can now waste time

on you and on myself.

Mid-week picnics.

Minding my temper in traffic.

Washing your back

and cleaning out my closets.

Staying in bed with you

long past the rush hour

and the pangs of hunger.

And listening

to the story of your life

in deadly detail

whatever time it takes

I have that time.

I've always wanted

to watch flowers open

all the way,

however long the process took.

I'd hoped that I might

take you traveling

down the block

or to wherever,

now I have the time.

Now I have the time

to be bored

to be delivered

to be patient

to be understanding,

to give you

all the time you need.

Now I have the time.

Where are you?

Beyond Good And Evil - Friedrich Nietzsche

Rest awhile. The darkness here is safe. I would love to turn the page of every day in this same way,

see everything from your eyes looking out. Touch what there is to touch with your fingers, rub up against the afternoon as part of your thighs rubbing.

My cheek grazing yours is like resolve, the sureness of forever. Your tongue is wet and lazy at leisure in my mouth the way I loaf inside of you..

The only movement in the world is the dawn's bright diamond necklace stringing itself across the new horizon.

Get up from your casket... "with all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams it is is still a beautiful world"

"Morning comes and morning goes, with no regret.

Evening brings the memories I can’t forget.

Empty rooms that echo as I climb the stairs.

And empty clothes that drape and fall on empty chairs."

People seem to get nostalgic about a lot of things they werent so crazy about the first time around.

Never Let Her Slip Away - Andrew Gold

"If I can make you smile

If I can move you close to laughter with a word or two

When your day's been filled with strangers

And the castles that you've built all tumbled down

Ah well, that's enough for me

That's all the hero I need be

I smile to think of you and me

You and I

And how our pleasure makes you cry"

This topic can only be truthfully answered by women who have been or still are in the situation. Everyone else merely assumes. You know what they say when people assume...

Worst school in the Philippines?? Hmmm.. looks like someone just opened a can of worms! hahahaha

My fave ever since I made a killing with their stocks years ago.. hahaha.

I may be alone, but I'm never lonely.

There is in fact "divorce" in the Philippines but it is only for those who can afford it. It's called annulment.

One word: WHY?

If you have to TELL your girl to tell the the guy to STOP then there is a problem in your relationship. Stopping the guy from courting her should come from her voluntarily.

She doesn't have to get pregnant. If she cheated, I'll walk away and not look back. If we happen to be living together, I'll tell her to make sure that the door doesn't hit her on her way out.
