raising kids

Seeing this picture made me look upon myself. The texts in this image are nice and wonderful, but instilling these kinds of values in children is challenging. I applaud the mother's who raised fine children of this stature. When we meet this kind of woman today, we view it as a rare display of values, integrity, self-confidence; a healthy self-image.
A year ago, I was single person (no attachments whatsoever!), committed to a relationship and loving it. I didn't entertain the idea of having kids, thus being protected. For some reason, the One who keeps the ball rolling have other ideas in mind and I got pregnant. 9 months after, now I am caring and raising a son. It is my turn to take up the challenge in raising him to be that kind of man that treats women with all these noble values. I hope I am up for it.

loyalty

I saw this picture today in FB, after looking at it for a few seconds too long, I was teary-eyed. Even if I already moved on and looked at other pictures, the image never left my head. It is heart-breaking for me to see the frail-old man with the loyal dog in his bedside.

If people can't be moved by that, I would wonder what's really wrong with humanity.

Pet Peeves

Inspired by Rexxa's article, I thought about my own pet peeves, realizing that I have tons in my head and there's just too many that annoys me. I think I am a control freak.

Here goes.

- People who chew their food too loud.
- Farting without excusing themselves.
- People who talks too loud as if the one they're talking to is at the other side of the mountain. *sigh
- People who thinks they know it all.
- People who moves too slow (not including the old people ok?)
- People who procrastinates when they can do everything today.
- Chronic Whiner
- People who nags
- People who picks their nose in front of you(duh!!!!)
- Doesn't say thank you or please and have a great sense of entitlement (puhleasseeeee)
- Too many flowery words when they speak. Why not try this; Get to the point? Anyone?
- Backstabbers
- Txt wrtng! And still have the nerve to ask you why is it difficult to spell...

Select those you hang-out with

We all have our place in this world, sometimes we cannot make it alone, we need somebody there to inspire us, to teach us, to push us. Choose wisely on who we become acquainted with and be wise enough to know who to follow and not to listen to.

November is a thanksgiving month, and although it is never celebrated from where I am from, I am going to take part in it my own way. I will come up with 30 things to be thankful for the whole month, that would be one thing to be thankful for each day.
To start of:
#1: I am thankful for my son Sam, for making my world become alive and making me love like a child all over again.
#2: Nobody can replace FAMILY. For that, I am thankful that I have a supportive, loving and the craziest family ever!
#3. For the furry friends who give unconditional love, they make the world a whole lot better to live in.

#5. Wisdom. By just knowing all the difference on when to say things, what to say to them, who to tell it to is a wisdom learned through experience.
