Another Year Older ...

King Edshel
By King Edshel

It's been already 1 year, it just passed like yesterday. I closed my eyes and I open them again to find that my 'Member For' under History saying: 1 year 1 day.

 

Went through a lot with QL, started with one post under the classifieds and found myself already an active member.

 

The Filipino Expats was my first group, got one generous invitation from my best friend ever OWEN and from that day and we are best friends. This group would always remain in my heart forever ...

 

Becoming one of the Social Group members was before the first Dhow trip, my circle of friends was growing fast and big. Met a lot of nice people that I can't count and don't want to start my list as i don't want to drop any of the names there ...

 

After a year .. here I'm and there I go, to all of my friends I say ... Thank you all for being always there, for helping me being more opened on other cultures and countries, for making this community a better place for all.

 

For the people that I've upset ... I'm really sorry, none of my intentions but this is a general forum where everyone can say his/her point of view. We might agree and that is great, we might have different points of view but we won't fight or hurt each other.

 

Finding this website did really change my whole life ... I know somehow that I might get hurt soon, but i would never regret being always here ... Just a QL Member ...

 

I love you all my dear friends ...

 

Best Regards,

King

we're so blessed to known you kapatid:) your hearty laughter..your almost perfect tagalog songs... your generous heart and your overwhelming acceptance esp. to filipino members of this forum is really great... I'm always bragging about knowing this great guy who knows how to speak tagalog sing filipino songs..love opm music... accepts the culture of filipinos and yet remain true to his native culture ... for all the times that you have made us all laugh with your funny showdowns with the rest of the guys... your tireless effort to help each and everyone....ohhh... i could go on and on.... but almost everyone already said most of the things that I want to say.... so I would just like to end this note with a thank you... for being a great friend.. a great man... a great buddy to all us here in ql... more years to come:) we love you!!!! you're the king!!!!

guys ... you let me speechless and I guess that if any want to have Pasta for lunch with red sauce, I can direct you to the right source [you should see my face now].

 

Praying for the love we all had to stay ...

Praying for all the nice memories to remain ...

 

Asking you all to stay the same, brothers and sisters ...

Asking god to keep the trouble away from all QL members ...

 

Want nothing but happiness to all of you, no one should be left unhappy.

Want what we had here to spread all over the world, me, you, he and she ... All of US .. so we should say now WE.

 

WE have to work harder to make this world a better place ... for the sake of humanity, for the sake of the people that we love, for the sake of our children and their future, for the sake of peace and love, for the sake of helping everyone ... living a normal happy life ...

 

Best Regards

I am forever grateful to QL for meeting all the friends I have now.  That includes you 'kapatid'.  You've been one of my partners in crime why I gained 6 kilos here ….i think that is negative

Happy anniversary, King E.

I was just reading all the posts and there is not a single person who has written a negative thing about you.

You seem to be a very friendly and outgoing person .

May you continue to be a source of inspiration and guidance to many thru the QL and through other forums.

Qatar sure needs people like you.

King ... our first met was in the dhow trip (Xena's) few months back (maybe over a year now?). I was looking and wondering which one were you after you helped me with ipod stuffs.

 

Only found out which one you were after the trip finish. 

 

You really are one of the nice people on QL.

 

Happy anniversary

awwww...i got a special mention there ...what can i say King Edshel, i remember that one question from you...and i replied " I wouldn't survive Qatar without YOU and QL" and that is the truth....we've been through a lot...and your grey hairs are the proof of your patience sticking up by me..

 

more QL years for you to come... and please don't change, as greeker said "God just doesnt make guys like you anymore, coz he forgot how!" i wonder why he only made one?....lol..

 

Keep on growing King Edshel, keep on learning, keep on cherishing life..... and hehehehehe keep that patience with you always...

I will never forget the bear hug after the first dhow trip, nor how you so easily volunteered to carry the heavy load of food from the car to the dhow, or the time you taught me ghow to wii-bowl, or the crab hunting lessons you gave me, or...

There is just too many memories associated with you, and NONE of them bad. Be the same king. Just dont change.

God just doesnt make guys like you anymore, coz he forgot how! So enjoy being the rare breed who doesnt know how to be bad even if they wanted to. Rock on mate, rock the hell on!

She does require a Rescue mission...its a terrible shame...when she is in Qatar she is in her MEd class or QL, and now when she finally got herself a well deserved break, she is here on QL, such a deprived soul can she get...

 

(Now, I'm sure rather than us going there, she would get a broomstick and beat the crap outta me...if she's reading...but I guess she isnt ...so its ok...;)
