Feeling great..but then...

Happy to spend time with kids at home, taking time off from work.
I have bit of the flu, fortunately kids are fine.
Son has mid-year exams starting tomorrow.
We had a good time visiting family & friends over the weekend.

Mum's birthday was grand, lots of her friends came, we ate a lot, laughed a lot, thats whats it supposed to be i guess. She really enjoyed it , with the priest and his "sidekicks" chanting for more than an hour, before we had our food. Lots of presents and old friendly folks all around her.

The best of the swine flu had passed us hopefully ,pray the others all over the world get better soon. A very hazy dull today indeed, foul smells in the air, pray Man realises his mistake, and not pollute as much or minimise waste. The Titan plant across the border is burning away toxic fuels out of its chimneys furiously with huge fireballs and surely is a big danger to people living in the vicinity in the near to long term. Then there are wars - civil war in Sri Lanka, America's war in Afghanistan (and Pakistan now), the ancient longstanding "war" in Middle East between the different faiths, all types of wars and piracy in Africa, nuclear standoffish "war of words" by North Korea - many natural disasters all over the world, as if there are not many problems already with our world. This compounds further the global financial recession and resulting downturn even further.

God bless and shower His mercy on all of us during these troubled times, may He look after all of mankind or rather, all of His creation, and help His most intelligent creation of all , the humans , to realise their ultimate foolhardiness and stupidity of destroying their beloved mother Earth bit by bit.

Worrisome day

Its been two months since i blogged, guess i am not your regular blogger.

Its not nothing has happened since, just that i am plain lazy. busy with kids stuff today, feel guilty if i dont spend time with them over the week, esp my son. he gets "scolded" for nothing from both of us, that leaves me feeling bad, esp when we try not to agitate our small girl, she adores all our attention and screams at the slightest perceived parental request. yet , i am woried about my job, dont know where this is heading, esp with the global downturn. Life is never the same. Everyday is a challenge. The wifey says, or at least thinks my family is crazed. My mum calls the whole world to her birthday party , the wife complains, i guess i am not happy with it either. One side of me thinks thats her pregorative, at least its not happening in our house. I have just viewed some online short videos on the web about de-stressing yourself, that gives me more stress now, with the myraid of self-help theories and advice. Some say try yoga, breathe well, play games , exercise, etc. Its a saturday for crying out aloud, why am i so hot (literally its a hot day) and so bothered, should be out enjoying myself. Probably the price I am paying for being so self-absorbed about how i spend my time, should "hang loose" and relax, not get too tightly wound up, or highly strung, thats what someone said to me once.

I get anxious when things dont work out according to plan, or even if it did, could it have been better, what people are thinking (lesser of that as i get older & wiser, I suppose), how should i be reacting to situations, how to respond in a conversation and in a group, etc. Then there are political, financial, world situations, climate changes , social , worries beyond your control.
