insurance n Cussler

things seem to be starting to "flatten"... plateau... even feelings. yet i still get the bulk of anxiety at times.. man..this is all confusing. im getting impatient with my life. getting impatient with myself. damn.


today's insurance course left me thinking about how most ppl underestimate the importance of it... u know about the recent death of a 23yr old guy.. PT instructor in army.. died in a traffic accident... wat was even worse's that he din buy any insurance at all..so his family couldn get any claims .. can imagine the financial impact on the parents etc. im pretty sure he was hoped to be supporting the parents in time to come... im not sure if he's the only son.. sigh.

lucky for him, his army mates did a "fund-raising" n pooled money for those he left behind.
if he'd some or even 1 insurance policy, the money can at least tide the family tru with the funeral expenses n perhaps even much longer..

life's really unpredictable huh..u think u r young n full of dreams...everyone thinks u will make it big.. we think we are still healthy.. we think there's still a tomorrow..
n who's gonna guarantee that?

what happens if we suddenly die... who's gonna feed the parents..the wife..the children.. but if there's insurance protecting, then at least the money (which can be a damn lot) to claim can help the family.. it won't bring back the person to life..but at least it doesn't make matters worse with the burden.
amazing how it affects. a hell lot of difference.

yea i know it's hard to imagine bad stuff as such..esp. when we are young without having "mouths to feed" besides our own.. but we really gotta think. plan.

anyway...been really addicted to someone's stories lately. Clive Cussler. I bet u will love it..esp. guys I think.. he founded NUMA (National Underwater n Marine Agency) ..the chairman.. n he writes novels based on experiences n the NUMA files. they do lotta searching for lost ships of historic value..

his novels are damn addictive.. it's been a long time since im hooked on adventure stories.. though i must admit i get a little lost a lotta times with the technical terms of the ships, n the undersea.
if u are up for it, try his latest "Polar Shift" ..that's the first book I read.. it's fiction..but the story hints of how the Earth's gonna be really messed up when polar shift happens.. damn good.

it's really funny how this Cussler guy got me hooked on adventure novels.
let's see..since young... im really more into horror flicks..horror books.. while my peers in primary sch were reading Roald Dahl, Enid Blyton, Sweet Valley High (eek!)... I was into R.L Stine, Fear Street, Christopher Pike..
Sec. Sch n after... well..mostly textbooks.. haah. i know..im not really a "reading" person... yea. but of course..occasionally get some good biographies of pp.. maybe some Mitch Albom or equav. when I need a little push in life. but hardly dig those non-fiction motivational books. find them "too good to be true"..

then I got addicted to chic lit.. they make me lost in dreams.. makes life seem a little less serious...seem a little sweeter.. i like that.
n just 1 month ago. this Cussler guy got me. damn he's good. =)
