Too much food wasted! I tried to empty the fridge meaning throwing leftovers away. I cannot eat twice food that I ate. That is a very bad habit of mine. It is so much cheaper to buy enormous portion of food that I will never eat :(.

Since the story about the “arranged” wedding, I noticed that there were at least 3 “arranged” weddings in the building and 3 “recomposed” families (kids from previous marriages). The kids are quite normal besides the “fat” kid.
Compared to the two brothers who came politely asking for help with their broken computer, I do not like much the kids in my building. Kids, who don’t have what they want, tend to behave aggressively and there is always this look in their eyes: the “needing” look. They are quickly aware of the burden of money because their parents are very poor.
One day, I was walking to the train station and a girl, maybe 5 years old, came and asked me for money. I avoid most kids in my building because they all have the same look as this 5 years old girl.

At 45 years old! It seems like an impossible dream but if you think hard about it maybe there is a way! When everyone else is thinking about their burdensome retirement, I am trying to make it happen as early as possible. Unlike many people around me, I noticed that I do not work much in my life and I still get by so there MUST BE A WAY.

I thought that my little life was boring. One dude in my building just told me about his nightmare. He went home picking up his “wife” in an arranged wedding made by his parents last year. Now, she got depressed, went into the hospital for treatment and tried to get suicide. Then, she accused him of harassment and filed for divorce. He got embattled in a court battle for divorce and harassment after 1 year of an unhappy wedding.
I will shut up and enjoy my life!

Let see if she is good… in two years! At least, I am very happy with her requests. I spent 3 months writing everything for her and I spent at the same time 4 months looking for her :)!

aNothEr Long Run!
Filed Under Daily
Finally, I found the courage to make another 10 kms run to check on my health. The weather has been really nice so it was hard to resist any longer.
The first 2 kms were painful but, as my body warmed itself up and started to get into the rhythm, it has become really nice. After 4 kms, I started to speed up a bit and I was glad to be able to overrun few “untrained” runners. One dude, who only trained to be big, realized quickly how easy it was for me to overrun him in less than 10 min. I could hear the heavy breathing, the lack of stamina and training in endurance while overrunning him.
Happy Happy …. Now I need a concentrated dose of magnesium. My legs and my lower body will be sore tomorrow! I wish my feet were in better shape. If I keep this rhythm, I’d hurt my feet and I have to stop again for few months.
Every time I run at this speed and pace, I remember the Australian professional runners who trained me. I would never expect that this training would become such a pleasure later in my life. I did suffer a lot with them … :)!

Aurore was my long time friend. I always thought that her family was “normal”. Her dad was very nice and he always took us to school for the first day. I learned that her parents had a problem with her second sister and that they did not have any contact with her other youngest sister as well. Her second sister did not allow her parents to come and to meet her children. I asked Aurore if there was some kind of fight or argument and her answer was:
“No, there wasn’t anything as she far as she knew and that her sister was just too coward to stand up against her husband”
Her parents did not like the “husband”. I told Aurore that I would behave the exact same way as her sister and that I would reject my family because I would try to protect my OWN family.
Life is very crual in some ways! People think that their kids will love them for some magical unknown reasons… In fact, children will most likely hate their parents…
Why? Because most parents do not raise their kids to be a person, they try to create a projection of their minds. When the projection does not meet the reality, the parents do not understand the rejection.
I do not think that anyone did something wrong however life goes on as reality does not meet fiction!

My neighbors kept on asking me the same questions over and over:”Where should I go? Who should I talk to?” and I gave the same answer: “Go to the internet, you should be able to do everything online (form, registration, email, …)”
Then they looked at me perplexed. I usually showed them on my screens and they nodded happily. Each time, I have a little smile on my face asking myself if he/she would be able to reproduce what I just showed them.
Maybe someday, one of them will manage to access the internet and retrieve the information but … not today!
One of them managed to get the “2 Euros/month internet deal”. It made my day when he told me! He was quite helpful because he has a special paste to kill the bugs.

I almost made a costly mistake while switching to a new car insurance. The cheapest company was useless and it kept on annoying me with justifications from my previous insurances. I immediately canceled and, luckily for me, I sent them a check but I forgot to sign the check. I was so happy to make such a mistake which was quite rare!
