They feel nice story, let me answer your comment, and alas the title is: happiness?

Prologue
I’m Jeremiah Sanobra Ignacio Diaz (Ignaje Sanodi).
Today I am a renowned writer, my pen is my letter and my charisma how to love me (could be vice versa).
I lived in a huge house, with many cars, women everywhere (prostitutes, the most beautiful and lovely), a fully bonded, five cooks, two stewards, three outfielders, four cleaners, two guards, two drivers and three guards security. Wonder how far have cost me the luxury class. And answer honestly, it took me to happiness.
Spend and spend. He had all the money in the world, thanks to sales of my books celebrities, they had given me what I always wanted, riches (happiness). But today, finally I realized that long greed had led me astray, making me believe that happiness is in the joy, when in fact this charity: charity of love, friendship and respect.
I said earlier, I lived, because the past has been responsible for giving a different route to my destination that matters twisted … But go back in time and mull over some things that made me come to desire the impossible. For that’s what I always wanted, insanely, eternal life.
He goes back to the age of six years, exactly to the 11 September 1998, the day when my father died.

I
The last time I saw my father was a cloudy afternoon in July. I remember I was playing with land near the entrance of the small estate where we lived, he emerged smiling across the gate. I kept playing. Seeing it was the least of all the time looking. Every evening appeared on the front gate … smile … sometimes angry … other most serious … that could have been that unusual arrival … continued playing.
I saw his shadow just behind me, the sun shone on the horizon, the sun prevented the leave of me. He stroked my head boldly ruffled his hair. Even I did not understand why so much happiness. Then put both hands under my armpits and a strong impulse I rushed to the air … what the hell was going on?
He put on the ground, bent down and continued to scorch as it had never done … I said nothing. I drop tears on my back … not understand the situation, such an action, such an explosion of feelings.
- I love you son. … I will always try to be a great pers …
Ran out of guts, he could not continue, put his face drooping, he felt ashamed that I had seen him mourn, download the lust of an inevitable misfortune. Unfortunately that still to me it was not important.
That was the last time I saw him. The next day he left very early, at the first signs of the day. My mother went with him, because waking was not feeling at home. He never returned.
To my mother, watching her every day away from the corridor, going who knows where. And each time she left, her eyes clouded his withered soul saddening, but I never found out why. Being so young I learn prevented such obvious things as pain and suffering and this was detrimental to my healthy development, no one explained what happened: he knew what was felt pain? I do not know. I knew I suffered from something, the atmosphere it whisper me, but beyond this life (my life) was normal.
For some strange reason my family symptoms experienced in the last two months, on 11 September 1998, reached the climax of despair, my mother called aloud for a powerful return to happiness, my sisters embraced her quiet, but with their hearts bursting with anguish. I could not do anything and still not understanding the origins of such declamations, I walked in silence to join the unusual meeting. In the afternoon a huge box of very huge size … much more than anyone here, was carried by four men.
It is the original text. The true is written in Spanish.

HI

I have an aspiration to Design and maybe oversee the construction of Luxury Homes and Beachouses.

Im not quite sure what qualifications i need.

I was a carpenter for 3 years after school , qualifying to a foremans level. Now im at University. Im studying for a HND in consturction. After Ill enter the second year of a degree.

Im not yet sure what one i want to go for. I dont want to be a Quantity Surveyor. or a Construction Manager.

I was interested in the Architectual Technology Degree. But its not clear what this job really leads on to yet. I have decent AutoCad and Visio skills and really enjoy the designing side of my HND .

I dont have the will to take a full Architecture degree as its 7 years.

If anyone has any knowledge or is in this field . Can you please let me know.

Also , i want to make like.. cool beach homes.. So if you live abroad and do this.. even better.

Thanks. Matthew
I originally wanted to go on to Construction Management

The phone is a premium phone (£200) to replace her current one which suffers a poor signal in our neighbourhood. We are comparatively fortunate in this world, and want for little. However 2009 cost us a small fortune in medical care and currently we agreed not to buy gifts for each other at Christmas and the same for birthdays. Against our agreement I chose to buy the phone as a surprise. My wife likes the fact the phone now works from home, but sees it as basic tool she should simply have vs a privileged or luxury product worthy of receiving as a gift.

Am I irrational thinking my wife is unappreciative?

I appreciate the answers will be subjective and opinion. Please could you add to your answers your gender, age and relationship status to help weight the collated opinion.

ok so i was out of home when i got a phone call that some people was waiting for me to get their belognings i told them i was coming but they did not wait and went ahead and jum the fence got their belognings and left what is more funny is that the person who jumped the fence was a law enforcemeny officer , when i call to complain they said there was nothing wrong and a complain was not going to be file becuase their boss said they cannot have the luxury to wait so since the officer jumped letting people know around my propert how easy this can be and for them was like oh not worry it was us ofcourse im gonna worry GUESS WHY PEOPLE FENCE THEIR PROPERTY?….. becuase its private and i DID NOT GIVE CONSENT TO GET IN? right? so what do you think do i have a good case?

I recently got a Border Collie unexpectedly and am debating if this dog is for me of it he is better suited for another family. This dog is currently 1 month old so I will have the luxury of training him young.

- Me and my wife go jogging about 3 times a week for several miles and would take this dog with us
- We enjoy taking many adventurous trips such as hiking, biking, (etc…) which we plan to take him with us
- No kids yet but plan to have a couple within a few years
- Live in a home with a large back yard for him to play in with no real decorative arrangements to destroy
- We currently own a 14 year old chihuahua which is not friendly with other dogs. We were hoping to spare my chihuahua the added stress and get a dog much later (sometime after my chihuahua passes away) but as I stated, my situation happened unexpectedly and now my wife is in love with the Collie
- My experience in dog training consists only of my chihuahua with a nothing is free attitude and a pack-leader assertiveness
Yes this dog is too young but was forced away from its mother and is unwanted from the previous owners. I just simply jumped in to try to help him
We purchased a home with a large back yard for the sole purpose of having room for dog(s) to play. So for days where we are not jogging we would be playing in the yard

to bring home the bacon, keep a roof, and meet basics. Not talking about luxuries, just the basics. Shelter, food, heat or cooling,
Your answer although motivational, is also rubbish, because we have over 10% unemployment in this area, and people are fighting over jobs that are dumping garbage and cleaning floors. nice try though.
We have a large base of unemployed workers it would seem that the area has somehow deemed unemployable, that bog down every opening, and make it impossible to get an interview. In one week alone, I contacted over 300 companies. This is not a short term problem, this one has lasted nearly 5 years, with only small temp work here and there
I think its the revenge of the locl billionares on the people that claimed that the heat was not good enough, and being told be thankfull you have heat. The job is causing me pain, be thankful you have a pain causing job.
Public aid in this area is set in such a ridiclous way so that if married couple has ONE job they do not quailfy. Its also an area where many earn over 1 million dollars per year.

For the past 3 years, I’ve been a normal college student… got my own apartment near campus an hour away from home, came home some weekends and spent time with my family who I’m pretty close with.

But now my parents are going through a divorce. My dad just up and left my mom with a fixer-upper house and everything. My mom is requesting that I move back home and help her out. She says that me living on my own is a luxury in college vs commuting the hour (even though I am paying all of my own living expenses) and that I can help her around the house and help her not to be so lonely.

I have enough stress at school. My mom can be very demanding and moody at times. I love her dearly but I just don’t want to move back home to wait on her hand and foot. I have been going home sometimes and have listened to her vent all the time.

I know some people who would drop everything to help their parents, then I know others who stray as far away as possible. I guess I’ve always been in the middle… Am I selfish to not drop everything to accommodate her in a rough time?

by the way The world’s tallest building has been opened with a dramatic fireworks ceremony in the Gulf emirate of Dubai.

The Burj Khalifa was revealed to be 828m (2,716ft) high, far taller than the previous record holder, Taipei 101.

Known as the Burj Dubai during construction, the tower has been renamed after the leader of Dubai’s oil-rich neighbour, Abu Dhabi.

Last month, Abu Dhabi gave Dubai a handout of $10bn (£6.13bn) to help it pay off its debts.

Construction of the Burj Dubai began in 2004, at the height of an economic boom.

Clad in 28,000 glass panels, the tower has 160 floors and more than 500,000 sq m of space for offices and flats.

This great project deserves to carry the name of a great man

The tower also lays claim to the highest occupied floor, the tallest service lift, and the world’s highest observation deck - on the 124th floor.

The world’s highest mosque and swimming pool will meanwhile be located on the 158th and 76th floors.

Technical challenges

The opening ceremony, held 1,325 days after excavation work started, was attended by some 6,000 guests.

Though not complete on the inside, it was officially opened by Dubai’s ruler, Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum.

The Burj Dubai dwarfs its neighbouring buildings

In a surprise move he renamed it Burj Khalifa - after the president of the United Arab Emirates and emir of Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahayan.

Sheikh Mohammed described the tower as the tallest building ever created by the hand of man.This great project deserves to carry the name of a great man. Today I inaugurate Burj Khalifa, he said.

Sheikh Mohammed also unveiled a plaque inside the tower bearing the new name.

A dramatic fireworks and lights show took place around the tower while a screen displayed its exact height, which had previously been kept secret.

At 828m, Burj Khalifa dwarfs the 508m Taipei 101 and the 629m KVLY-TV mast in the US, the tallest man-made structure. Its spire can been seen 95km (60 miles) away.

We weren’t sure how high we could go, said Bill Baker of Skidmore, Owings Merrill, the building’s structural engineer. It was kind of an exploration… a learning experience.
Mohamed Ali Alabbar, chairman of Emaar Properties, the developer behind Burj Khalifa, told the BBC that the building’s design had posed unprecedented technical and logistical challenges, not just because of its height, but also because Dubai was susceptible to high winds and was close to a geological fault line.We have been hit with lightning twice, there was a big earthquake last year that came across from Iran, and we have had all types of wind which has hit us when we were building. The results have been good and I salute the designers and professionals who helped build it, he said.

Tower: facts and figures

The design incorporates ideas from traditional Islamic architecture, while the open petals of a desert flower were the inspiration for the tower’s base.

Burj Khalifa will be home to 1,044 luxury apartments, 49 floors of offices and eventually a 160-room Armani-branded hotel. Around 12,000 people are expected to live and work in the tower, which is part of a 500-acre development.

However, investors are facing losses even before the tower is completed because property prices in Dubai have slumped amid the global economic crisis.

Some apartments were selling for $2,700 per sq ft, but are now going for less than half that. Analysts say it will be particularly hard to lease office space because few companies can justify paying premiums for luxury.

The BBC’s Malcolm Borthwick in Dubai says developers are holding back on new flagship projects, so Burj Khalifa could mark the end of an era for skyscrapers in the Gulf - at least in the short term.

I’m 15 years old. Okay.
1) I had a very close friend in 1-3 grade. We did everything together. All of a sudden, she didn’t come back for 4th grade at our school and didn’t answer my calls ever again. I was devastated and it took me until 8th grade to get over it completely.
2) I started to help out at a dog kennel around 4th grade and raced sled dogs. We got a dog from them that was an older retired one. Instead of kenneling him like they did his whole life, we let him live in luxury so to speak. While I was on vacation, he got sick and stopped eating. Well, he coughed up part of a leash so we think he might have pulled a leash through his crate at night and chewed it up. My parents opted not to do surgery because he was 10 years old and might not survive it much less live long after that even if he made it through. I was devastated when I got home. The owners of the kennel now hate me because it is somehow my fault that he died.
3) I traveled with a show dog breeder for a few years and helped them out at shows. Well, they hate me now. I am not sure why but I think it is because they think I don’t appreciate all they did for me and that I got a pet quality dog instead of a show dog when I had the chance to get another dog.
4) My dad hates me because I’m basically a disappointment…I don’t really know how, but I just am. When I got back from a dog traveling thing the exact words that came out of his mouth were, Things were so much better when you were gone. We had a blast….this proves that you are the source of our family’s problems.
My siblings sometimes hate me but I consider that normal. haha

But yeah, is it normal to just have people randomly hate you? I’m not talking about a parent that is upset after I do something and then gets over it. I’m talking about a parent that is constantly putting me down, insulting me, and blaming me for many things I don’t do.

Am I an over reactant teen or am I just a terrible, hate-able person?

Thanks!

she’s 16 years old and looks older for her age. Example, her face structure is not babyish like most 16 year old girls are, she is thin and 5′9. She models and looks very feminine and doesn’t look like a teenager (she’s looks like she’s in her early 20’s) so naturally, older men are attracted to her…as scary as that is I have been starting to notice creepy things… here are some pics from her photobucket account (i know this is wrong…but this is a serious situation and i need advice)

when she goes out (she hangs out with older people, in elite nighclubs/lounges/restaurants) she says she’s staying over at a friend’s house constantly and recently I decided to check up and call her friend’s home and the girl’s parents said they knew nothing about that.

I’ve started to notice she started wearing brand name handbags, high end clothing (we don’t have the money for that kind of luxury) and she said they were just gifts from the modeling she does….(my wife seems to believe that ) she gets picked up my luxurious cars (we live in ny) and she says it’s the company’s driver where she models when I have not heard any other girls getting picked up by this anonymous driver

She seems to look very polished for a 16 year old and has extra money to put in the effort to look glamorous all the time (I give her money…but just 15 dollars a day! she gets paid for modeling…but not THAT much for this posh treatment she gets herself…example, tanning, manicure, pedicure, getting hair done, buys lots of high end beauty products I haven’t even heard of)

she comes home with flowers approximately every other day and says they are just gifts from the photoshoots which makes absolutely no sense. Last weekand she had to model fo a client in LA and took a PRIVATE PLANE! (she said it was arranged my her agent…which is BULL) I have tried calling her modeling place to figure what is going on but I have a feeling somebody higher up is covering her butt. I am angry, frusterated and am afraid my daughter is becoming somebody I didn’t raise her to be. We got into a confrontation yesterday she went off crying and the problem didn’t get resolved. Am i overreacting? do I have a right to be concerned? mothers, please give me your insight…does this seem fishy?! I don’t know what else to do

(I tried having some family time…just my wife, my daugher and I (I called in a babysitter for our 2 year old boy) and we went to the movies, retaurant and she seemed to be all in her phone messaging, having people call her..in the restaurant, all these older women and men were coming up to her asking her how’s life and totally ignoring us. I feel like i’m losing my girl…she claims she’s still a virgin which i highly doubt
i asked this before once…but nothing stopped and her behavior continues
she dresses like that for her modeling…what she wears doesn’t concern me…her sketchy behavior worries me..
