bcoz god has no sex

So, in November 2009, I would still be basking in the sun munching peanuts and thinking about how much God looks beautiful!

I’ve been thinking about this question all week and i’ve decided to write on where i want to be, before i talk about the world. I know its off topic, but asking myself where i wanted to be required me to think of exactly what i want to achieve next year, and just thinking about it help me sort my priorities . I hope atleast that my family and friends remain safe and healthy as they are currently. Next year this time, i hope to back home after achieving excellence in my studies for the year. I hope to have made my parents proud in that regard, and i also hope that i can significantly improve a childrens home. I do wish to progress with my writing and arts. When i look back on this year, i smile because i’ve grown so much as an individual and i am becoming more of the person i know i can be. I only hope that this time next year i feel like i do now, like i’ve made a difference, like there is hope, and most importantly, like i’ve progressed inside.
Truthfully, what i want most for next year, is for my parents to start living their dream. I’m beginning to see both of them grow older, and i’m tired of seeing them struggling and sacrificing for my brothers and i to have everything that we desire. It is time for them to truely settle their dreams at heart. This year God has been great to us, and recently things are really looking up, i just pray that they continue in our favour because i can feel that this period in our lives are crucial and it is time that we succeed. I pray God guides my parents, brothers, friends, me and everyone for that matter, through this next year and while i know things will change, i pray its for the better. Should it not be, i pray we are given the strength to carry on until they do improve.

Thank you for being
Yajna

PS Maybe everyone should do what i did, look at yourself and see what your aim is for the year, post it and hopefully see how close you came to achieving it. :) sorry again, i know its off topic.. But it just felt right for me to write this :) mwah

this speculation competition is really a clever trick of you! ;-)
Everybody here wants to know, who will win and this way you motivate your readers to hold the line for another year. (In deed I started writing here in November 2007.)

Now to your question: I have no idea at all what will be the state of the world next year in November. Let me say it in a more sophisticated way: A wise woman (or man) prefers silence to speculations. You don’t need to answer all questions. Que sera sera!

Nevertheless I don’t want to duck out of this challenge entirely and will dare to speculate about one thing I know best: me.
I really rely on your promise, because it will be an interesting experience to read these lines one year later again in your blog.

Dear Monika of November 2009,

all in all it was a good year for you. There were some troubles of course, but you fought well, did not give up hope, always tried to improve and above all you were always true to yourself.
You grew a little older, but also a little wiser. You can be proud on all the things you have managed in the last year. When you are reading these lines once more, thank God for the precious gift of life and for the all the love you achieved. Keep on going your path with faith!

Best wishes for another year
Monika of November 2008

I pray, that you, Paulo, will also be healthy and alive, when you repost these entries in November 2009! You are supporting me with your words a lot on my way to soundness!
Besides that I often have pure fun with sending comments. (I hope you are sharing my kind of humour and this also applies to you, when you read them!)

See (or read) you all healthy and alive in November next year.
All give your best – I want to win this competition!

Love
Monika

1. THE ECONOMY. Basically there are more products out there then the money that the people that may be interested in buying them have. Solution? Give those people more money. By whom? Which way?
a. Government rabats and incentives. They are a one time thing and cannot provide a long term solution.
b. Teach a different kind of business philosophy: investors be less interested in the immediate profit and more interested in the health of the entire society… is it feasible?????? In one year….??????? Nop. It may take a few generations from what I have seen in the industry, in the real life…

2. Terrorism. Basically there are people out there that think that life is not worth a cent. Their own or the others. How could Obama change this? Neee…

I think that in a year from now it will be business as usual. The enthousiasm of this recent election will vanish away. Some things may be better while others will be worst… Corruption will be alive and well everywhere in the world, growing like a cancer that lies in the humanity’s genetics and the nice people will continue to struggle here and there getting with God’s help small victories, small little miracles that will hold as usually for about three days…

I do hope that we all join together to make this place worth living in, CHANGE is what we all have to make so we can see some results- its funny to see how people expect this to happen through one person- many changes need to occur: acceptance of all human beings( forgetting the idea of racism), knowing that we all live on the same planet and that we ALL need to contribute a little bit to it, to focus on important things of life than (only) fashion, celebrities etc. :).

One has to fall in order to rise( my own phrase)- so we have fallen…its time to rise ;)

Kisses to everyone, God bless

I believe that since the American Elections are over, and we have seen how have won. This will not affect the Middle East, because if it was either of them both would have the same policies against the Middle East but one is more diplomatic than the other, but the results are the same. But there is a possibility that US would go back to US and stay in US and mind their internal business.
If this happens in one year from now, China is the rising power now, and unfortunately Iran is the one controlling the Middle East.
And if the US (also one year from now) mind their business and take the cover off Israel, then we are looking at a new middle east.

Where as in Lebanon, (my home country) nothing has changed since 1984. Lebanese actually think that the world revolts around them, The Lebanese lands is being sold by bits and pieces to Syria and Israel, step by step. Syria negotiating with US means one thing it is not being funded by Iran anymore and this also means one thing, the link between Iran and Hezbollah has been broken.
So there will be a clash in Lebanon, and again Syria will interfere to solve the clash (as it did back then for 30 years)

Israel won’t accept a Muslim country with Nuclear that made clear that as soon as the nuclear is finished they will drop it on Israel. So there will be something concerning Iran from Israel covered by the Americans but with no American troops.

And Afghanistan will stay as it is right now. Iraq.
Iraq…Iraq…Iraq is something. In Iraq I think the American & co. troops will start withdrawing in slow manner.

Economy. If Iran was hit, the economy will rise again and become as stable as it was before. There will be fixation for the economical problems in US since the new president’s main concern is economy (which I don’t totally agree, what does it matter if the economy is good and a nuke has been created to be dropped over them?).

And I will gain bits and pieces of experience in one year :)!

HEALTH/ECOLOGY:
There is an argument over some sort of official document or global decree pertaining to public health or the environment. A piece of extreme legislation reflecting the struggle between the masculine and feminine energies at play here. Essentially, the masculine is enraged by and attempting to subdue and dominate the feminine. There is death in the air (famine? pestilence?) meaning that many lives hang in the balance, and will be effected by the outcome of this decree or anouncement.

So there you have it – November 2009, in a nut shell!
