During the early 90's I have lived and worked in Saudi Arabia as an Architect-Engineer. My first impression was that it was a monochromatic view of the place. The buildings were all brown. The men were all white. The women were...

bon_jing Eashoor, I am sorry to hear that you don't have pleasant memories of Saudi. Yes, I know what and how Saudi Women go through in your country. In fact, I read the book "Princess" after my stint in your Country. I thought what I heard there were rumors or...

Cancer doesn't choose whether you're rich or poor. It just leaves victims... the partner... the kids... the family. I feel for them, for I too, am a cancer victim. I lost my wife to it. Now, it's just me and my two daughters. I...

bon_jing I can emphatize with you. It's true. The feeling of "the heart being shred to pieces". It's nice to know that you have a real friend who was with you from the start. Never asking for anything in return. Having the patience to be with you, inspite of your being...

bon_jing The same thing is happening to me. I see my two daughters grow up as matured individual. More aware of the things around them. I guess with the loss, they tend to be less oblivious of things. Maybe seeking for something. I don't know.

bon_jing A Cancer Trust Fund is a nice idea, but with so many Cancer "Victims" out there, you would be needing a pile of money for it. I do agree that they should be given situations / opportunities to take their mind of the loss. Opportunities that would make them...

bon_jing I once asked my wife's doctor, in her own opinion, what she would think is the cause of cancer. Not only for my wife, but for the other patients. She said it was "lifestyle". The way we live our lives (pollution, not enough rest, etc). The food we eat (MSG...

bon_jing I too believe in alternative versions of healing and not just the "chemical / medical" option. But it would also take a huge part of belief from the patient themselves. For I believe that the mental capacity of a patient to really "believe" that he / she can...

bon_jing Thank you, my friend. I guess everytime we meet, it ends up that I'm the only one left who's puffing away. Don't worry. Am planning to stop. Just "psyching" myself up.
