Hubby back.
We had great fun, holiday, sex, makan-makan.
He became fat, I became fatter.
It was worth it. Diet time.
We have to be positive.
Separation yet again. We will have to face it, be strong for each other.
We need God. His grace, his direction.

When there is love, I give you my kidney. When love is lost, I want it back!
Happily ever after, till death do us part.
When everything is rosy and well in a marriage, a couple is one even with their body parts. But since divorce rate is so high, is it advisable to give your loved one a part of your body.
I just saw this news, and I thot it was so funny. The husband donated a kidney to his wife and now that they are going thru a divorce, he wants it back. I guess he has every right to but what he really wants is Money!! Yeah, he deserves a lot of money, after all he gave away his kidney....what do you think?
NY man demands estranged wife pay him for kidney
GARDEN CITY, N.Y. – A Long Island surgeon embroiled in a nearly four-year divorce proceeding wants his estranged wife to return the kidney he donated to her, although he says he'll settle for $1.5 million in compensation.
Dr. Richard Batista, a surgeon at Nassau University Medical Center, told reporters at his lawyer's Long Island office Wednesday that he decided to go public with his demand for kidney compensation because he has grown frustrated with the negotiations with his estranged wife.
He claimed he has been prevented from seeing their children, ages, 8, 11 and 14, for months at a time.
"This is my last resort; I did not want to do this publicly," Batista said.
He said he gave his kidney to Dawnell Batista, now 44, in June 2001. She filed for divorce in July 2005, although he claims she began having an extramarital affair 18 months to two years after receiving the kidney transplant, his attorney, Dominick Barbara said.
Douglas Rothkopf, the attorney representing Dawnell Batista, did not return telephone calls seeking comment.
Matrimonial attorneys were quick to shoot down any possibility Batista would succeed.
"I've been in this business over 40 years and I've never heard of that," said Seymour J. Reisman, a Long Island divorce lawyer. "It's not marital property, not a marital asset you can put a price tag on."
Manhattan attorney Susan Moss said, "The good doctor is out of luck and out a kidney. This is similar to cases where a husband wants to be repaid for the cost of breast implants and the such. Our judges are not willing to value such assets, so to speak."
Batista, 49, said he has no regrets about donating the kidney, only about the failed marriage. The couple was married in 1990 and lived in a million-dollar home in Massapequa. They met while he was working at a hospital and she was training to be a nurse.
He still recalls the day after the surgery took place.
"There is no greater feeling on this planet. As God is my witness, I felt as if I could put my arm around Jesus Christ. It was an unbelievable; I was walking on a cloud.
To this day I would still do it again."

New Year Resolutions...why bother?
Happy New Year everyone.
Apologies for the silence, I have been hibernating from blogging to enjoy my Christmas and New Year holidays. But the real reason is that I was spending some quality no-blogging time with my hubby.
I had a great time during this holiday season, so much so that I did not even bother to make any new year resolutions. I used to do it every year, I make a list, and always promise myself I will be a better person in the new year and a list of other to do stuff.
After so many years, I realized that it is not about making a list of "new year resolutions". We do not need a special date to make a resolution. A resolution can be made anytime!
And if you are committed to make that resolution happen, it will happen.
If not, it will just be another resolution made because it is " a new year" but it does not get done. You will probably do it for one or 2 weeks and then you would forget all about it.
So, I have stopped making new year resolutions. No point making resolutions that I would not keep.
Have you made any resolutions for 2009? Since it is day 6, any progress....?
