A Nurse's Point of View

Part I:  http://arlineraijmakers.blogspot.nl/2013/10/some-good-things-never-really-lastpart-i.html Their affair unfortunately only lasted for 7 years. He betrayed her. What happened to him in the past, he did to a woman whose heart had decided to love him forever. She was broken into pieces, life became meaningless, she cried and cried until no more tears came out of her eyes. She will often locked herself.   She spent most of her time inside the four corners of their room which used to be a haven for her. It was where they became one and expressing their emotions deeply and a never ending “I love you(s)were said”.   She was very weak, she barely ate. I can imagine the predicament. She even questioned God, why of all people, she had to suffer?   When all she wanted only was to be with the man she loved unconditionally. I will never forget that time (still vivid at the time of writing) when her mother called me hysterically to come immediately to where...

Who doesn't know Barbara Streisand and Barry Manilow? Nobody if you are in your 50's like me and who loves their kind of music. I love their songs. I am a great fan of both artists especially Barbara Streisand who's one of the world's greatest singers. They popularized the song "Some good things never last" which happened to be the title of this blog. They were two of my favorite singers.   Today after almost an hour of exercise at home,   I decided to sing several songs in the karaoke that we bought in the Philippines after my husband Ton and I got married in August 17, 2007 .  We both love music and we love to sing. He’s a rocker while I am more of a sentimental singer. He plays guitar too. This is I guess one of those things we have in common that make us click. I think I got my talent in singing from my mother , although my father loves to sing, unfortunately he can’t carry a tune. Whenever he sings, the people present will always teased hi...

Women especially mothers say unless a woman became a mother, she will not feel and experience the joy and happiness, loneliness and the pain of becoming one. Anybody (ladies and women) can relate to me in situations like when having arguments with our moms, they would always say , “ You will understand everything once you become a mother” for which I did and for sure a lot of you will agree with me. I became a mom for the first time when I was 27 and the second time 10 years after. I was blessed with a son and a daughter. Before the birth of my daughter, my mother supported me a lot taking care of my first born, Justin Raphael. She was present in my son’s life , she was like the second mother to him back then, I wasn’t around him most of the time because I needed to work and went abroad twice. I had and still having my shares of joy and pain being a mom but for now I will talk about the person who gave me life and who have loved me until the last breath of her life - my dea...

People who are financially stable have all the power not to worry about nothing when it comes to procuring material things because they are capable of paying anything they want. Aside from their ability to pay the fixed expenses such as mortgage, insurance and other household expenses, they are also capable of doing whatever they want because of the power brought about by having money. These people are no doubt happy in terms of satisfying their wants and desires. While the opposite has always fears and worries because of a lack of money or have just barely enough to pay the bills, there is nothing left to buy some extra, whatever that is. This isn't the situation one would like to be in, unless a person is happy and thankful with whatever he has and counting his blessings, it is most of the time annoying and frustrating. There are a lot of ways to have this important power. While the people who were born with rich parents do not have to worry per se about money, they ...
