Car Seat Safety Guidelines

We waited 9 months to  hold our precious baby in our arms. The precious little angel that completed our life. Our one true love, the love our our life. We will do everything to protect them, so a car seat is one thing  that we needed to protect our kids  on their first trip going home from the hospital. I have seen some parents with baby's in the car without a seat beat, they should be ashamed of themselves for being an irresponsible parents. Accidents happens anytime and either all of you or only the child will be thrown out of the car once you meet an accident.  So please, make sure to include a car seat into your to buy list when pregnant.

Kaming Mga OFW, Bayani Kung Tawagin

Maraming mga tao, ang naghahanap ng trabaho

Isa na rito ang mga Pilipinong, kung tawagi’y OFW

Nilisan ang lugar, na kanilang pinanggalingan

Upang tunguhin, masaganang buhay

Outstanding Filipino Blogger for OFW

Paano na kaya ang ekonomiya ng Pilipinas kung wala ang mga OFW? Ang mga Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW) ay itinuturing na "Bayani ng Bansa" dahil sa malaking remittances na ipinadadala natin sa ating pamilya. Mga remittances na siyang ginagamit na panggastos sa araw araw na pangangailangan like food, shelter, and education. Mga remittances na nag aangat ng ekomomiya ng bansa.

Mga Paalala sa mga Uuwi ng Pilipinas

This  was originally posted on Facebook page, P U L O : Ang Tahanan Mo on  July 9, 2013 with 43,168 shares. Ito ay isinulat bilang paalala sa  mga OFW at pati na rin sa mga kamag anakan nila.

Budget. Oo nga naman. Plan it. Work within your limit. Yung iba kasi one day millionaire, 29 days broke. Hindi na uso ang pasikat. Sarili mo lang lolokohin mo. Mamigay ka ng pasalubong kung kaya mo, kung hindi, wag na. Wala ka naman responsibilidad sa mga kamag-anak at kaibigan mo. Wag tumunganga sa duty free at mamili ng mamili ng alak at tsokolate. Kung kaya mo mag-abroad, kaya din nila. Hindi ka naman nagwawalis ng dolyar di ba? Wag magdala ng madaming gadget just to show off. Yung madalas na party at painom, iwasan mo na. Isipin mo, hindi habang buhay ang abroad. Tatanda ka din at uuwi. Matutong mag-save for the future. Mag-negosyo habang me trabaho. Fallback ang tawag doon. Ang simpleng bahay ok na yun. Di na din uso ang bonggang bahay baka ibenta mo lang yan pagdating ng panahon. Mag pondar para me maipakitang nag-abroad ka. Para sa sariling satisfaction yan hindi sa kapitbahay mo. Kung me uutang sa yo pambili ng kotse o pang down ng bahay, aba, bakit? Hindi ka naman bumuo ng isa pang pamilya. Mahirap magpautang sa panahon ngayon. Ibigay ang kayang ipamigay pero isiping mabuti. Yung iba kasi namamantala lang. Mabuti nang isiping madamot ka kesa magkaroon ng kaaway dahil sa utang. Iwas sakit ulo din yan, tol.

ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, is going viral all over social media. Many have joined but never know the reason behind the movement. The challenge started in honor of Pete Frates, former Boston College baseball captain, who was diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) in March of 2012.

The Story behind the Father Who Abandoned by Daughters

Napoleon Timonera got what he wants when the so called hunger strike caught  the public attention. His story and photos were shared in Facebook as te father who begged not only for money but for public sympathy as an abandoned father. A father who was reaching to  the public to  help him get in touch with his 4 daughters. According to Napoleon, they abandoned him and did not receive any financial support. He worked hard as an Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW) to send them to school and now that he is old and can no longer support himself, he needs financial help to survive. And if ever he dies, his body should be sent to one of his daughters.

Girl Being Bullied for Dirty Finger

Kyla did not expect this to happen when she posed beside UAAP player Kiefer Ravena with the middle finger pointing to the player. Ravena is from a rival school, while the girl is from Assumption College. She already  deactivated her old twitter account and created  new private account. Good for her, she already learned her lesson not to mess up on social media. People are bullying her on Twitter and Facebook when she posted  the photo. They call  her the new amalayer, amafinger, amafu*ker.

OFW, Bayaning Filipino

OFW ang tawag sa mga Filpinong nagtatrabaho sa ibang bansa, nagtitiis mapalayo sa pamilya para lang mabigyan sila ng maayos na buhay. Pero pinapahalagahan kaya ito ng mga pamilyang iniwan sa bansa. Ano nga ba ang tunay na kahulugan ng Overseas Filipino Workers hindi lang sa pamilya kundi maging sa pamahalaan?

Bayani raw ang  OFW- Dahil ang ipinapadala nilang remittances ay nakatutulong sa ekonomiya ng bansa. Pumupunta sila sa ibang lupain para sa sarili nilang kapakanan. Nagsasakripisyo sila para iangat  ang kanilang buhay. Kumikita  ng  mas malaki para sa pamilya.  Ipinapadala nila lahat ng sweldo dito sa Pilipinas hindi dahil sa gusto nila, kundi dahil sa ito ang kailangan ng pamilya nila. Bayani nga bang maituturing ang mga OFW?

Mapera ang mga OFW- Palagi nating naririnig sa mga kaibigan ito, "uy mayaman ka na pala!" o kaya, "pasalubong naman." Naku naman, paaanong mayaman kita nyo nga at sa dati pa ring  maliit na bahay nakatira, napuno lang ng modern furnitures at updated palagi sa bagong modelo ng cellphone ang mga anak, bukod sa ipad. Yung asawa, panay ang gastos tuwing may padala ang asawa,  galit sa pera kaya gusto ubusin kaagad.

Mahirap maging OFW- Dahil sa kagustuhang maibigay  ang lahat ng gusto ng asawa at anak, kailangang magtipid ang OFW. Tuwing sweldo, ipinapadala halos buong sweldo, at mag- iiwan lang ng kaunti para sa pangunahing pangangailangan. Konting tipid sa pagkain basta nakakakain ng masarap ang pamilya. Paunti unti, bumibili ng mga ipapasalubong para sa susunod na bakasyon. Karamihan sa OFW, sa dami ng kamag anak, lahat kailangan bigyan para hindi magtampo. Kaya ayun si kawawang OFW, isang taong mag iipon ng mga sale or promo items para mapasalubungan ang lahat.

Matiisin ang OFW- Kailangan mangibang bansa dahil wala namang maaasahang trabaho sa Pilipinas, sama sama nga pero kumakalam naman ang sikmura. Konting sakripisyo para sa pamilya. Tiis lang kahit nahohomesick at nagkakasakit, ang mahalaga ay makapagpadala ng pera buwan buwan. Mabuti nga at may Facebook na, kahit papaano, araw araw ay nakakabalita sa isa't isa at updated palagi ang pictures.

Tumatanda rin ang OFW - Huwag naman sanang tumanda ng walang naipon or mamatay sa ibang bansa dahil kawawa ang pamilya na walang naipon matapos ang mahigit sampung taong pagtatarabaho. Ipun ipon din, maraming time para makapag ipon. Sa mga OFW, hindi masamang bigyan ng masaganang buhay ang pamilya, huwag lang kalimutang magpundar. Mas maganda kung imbes na gadget, bumili ng hulugang ari arian.

OFW, Bayani nga ba? Oo naman, ang laki yata ng nakukahang pera ng gobyerno sa mga remittances natin. Sa laki ng dolyar na pumapasok sa bansa, nakakatulong ang OFW hindi lang sa pamilya kundi pati na rin sa pagbangon ekonomiya. Marami na ring OFW ang nagbuwis ng buhay dahil sa mga walang pusong amo. Nakakaawa rin na ang mga tinaguriang bayani ay naaapi at minamaltrato.  Pero anuman ang pagsubok na dumating, matatag pa rin ang mga OFW, basta sa pamilya nagpapakabayani.

Sa mga may kamag-anak na  OFW, katulong man or kahit anong klase ng trabaho, be proud of them, mapalad ka at may nagsasakripisyo para sa iyo.

Nancy Binay: The Fashion Icon

I love Nancy Binay for the guts to wear designers clothes only she can dare to wear. Nancy was so proud to show the Filipinos how pretty she was during the State of the Nation Address (SONA). She was wearing a white long sleeved top and yellow-blue-green long skirt made exclusively for her by designer Randy Ortiz. The multi-inspired gown won Nancy Binay the title, "Darling of the Crowd" and "All Time Queen of Memes."

What if the Ocean was Made of Kool-Aid

Once in a while,  my husband makes a pitcher of Kool-Aid  for him and the kids. I am not really a fan of this instant drink but my hubby is. In my opinion, the instant juice drink is just food coloring and citric acid for flavoring. It also needs a lot of sugar to taste like a sweetened juice.

135 Reasons to Choose Noynoy "Pnoy" Aquino

WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN IF PNOY IS NOT OUR PRESIDENT?
1. Hindi makukulong si Enrile, Revilla, Estrada, at iba pang mga sangkot sa pork barrel scam.
2. Hindi makukulong si GMA.
3. Hindi mababawi ang mga ill-gotten wealth ng pamilya Marcos (multi million peso Swiss funds, Imelda jewelries, Arelma assets, Paoay property)
4. Patuloy pa rin ang "pabaon'' system sa mga heneral na pinauso ni GMA.

My Son as a Blogger

Look what I googled, my sons blog when he was 10 years old. We were still living in Qatar, when I started blogging and then my son, seeing me writing on my spare time, decided to have his own blog site too. He grew up in the Philippines until 7 years old before we brought him to Qatar, and I never thought that he will be good in English at his age.

Life of an OFW

Ano ba ang pananaw ko sa pagiging mayaman? Dapat ba ay marami kang properties, alahas, naka iphone, ipad at  blackberry or Samsung phone ka. May magara kang sasakyan, at higit sa lahat limpak limpak ang iyong salapi,  literally isa kang mayaman.

Hindi Mayaman ang OFW

We have this notion na 'pag OFW o nasa abroad ay mayaman na. Hindi totoo yun. A regular OFW might earn from P20K-P30K per month depende sa lokasyon. Yung mga taga-Saudi or US siguro ay mas malaki ang sweldo, but to say that they're rich is a fallacy (Amen!).

Malaki ang pangangailangan kaya karamihan sa amin ay nag-a-abroad. Maraming bunganga ang kailangang pakainin kaya umaalis kami sa Pinas. Madalas, 3/4 o kalahati ng sweldo ay napupunta sa tuition ng anak at gastusin ng pamilya.

What comes first, the chicken or the egg?

Still confused on what comes first, the chicken or the egg? People  keep asking the same question over and over. Most tried to answer but end up at the same place and eventually gave up, hoping that someone will get to the right answer to share with everybody.  There is even a video made to prove an answer to that question. According to the video, the question wold be simple if we took it literally. But what about if we connect it to religion. If we only check the  Bible when God created the world, we might find the answer we are looking for.

Happy Birthday To Me

Every year, we celebrate our birthday, we get a chance to start new, forget about the not so beautiful memories. Over the years, aging changes the styles of our hair and clothes style, but if you really look closer at our selves, it's really the same,  we just take life's challenges seriously.

Same-Sex Marriage Proposal

Love is everywhere, whether it's Valentine's Day or just an ordinary day. And, in the case of these marriage proposals, love can pop out of nowhere, at any time, even while at a hockey game.Whenever girls watch or see romantic and sweet marriage proposal, they are thinking who will do the same to her too. Well, not every woman are lucky to have that kind of guy and not everyone has the usual marriage proposal. There are proposals that are not acceptable by most people and community and will receive the most criticism especially with the religious group or individual.  Let us face it, people of different religion and belief have different interpretations of what the bible says. Is same sex relationship acceptable by God  or a sin?

Preparation When Grandparent is Moving In

Grandparents has numerous health-related things that they needed and can’t live alone on their  own for so long. Somebody should  accompanied them,  like a helper or private duty nurse. There are families who can’t take their elders in their own house basically because everyone’s working. That’s why they chose  to let them  live in retirement home to make sure they will be taking cared for. This is going to be very sad for them but you can be assured that their health won’t be compromised.

However, if your house is big enough and you can afford to hire a private nurse. You can  renovate a room for your granny. Check  online shopping store for all the things that you will need for their room to be safe and comfortable. See to it that you were able to buy foam wedge for a bed so that they breathe easily. This is ideal for those who have respiratory conditions. They need elevation when they sleep to promote airway circulation.  You can have it carpeted to keep it warm. Too much cold is not good for seniors most especially during cold seasons.

A hand bars inside their bathroom should be installed  to avoid slips and falls and make sure the floor is rubberized. See to it that grandparent's flooring is not slippery. Aside from the comfortable room that they have, they can be assured that they are living with their love ones. This will surely cost you much but seeing them living comfortably is priceless. It is definitely payback time and make their remaining lives worth as special as you can.

Full Transcript: Vhong Navarro Interview and Video

It doesn't matter if a man is being chased after by girls or if he's physically attractive. Rape is not about that. Rape is an exercise of power and authority. Rapists do it not because they're in the "heat of the moment". They do it because they feel most powerful (over their victims) when they do. Although, I do agree that it's not for us to judge what the truth is. And I doubt din na if the girl was "almost raped", she probably wouldn't have enough time to pre-meditate that kind of pangbubugbog or ask help from a mob na bugbugin yung mangrerape.

A Classic U.S. Embassy Interview

I deeply apologize to Arabic people,  I have all the respect for all of you, I did not  mean to insult you with this joke. It is just to provoke laughter only and no intention of hurting or offending people. Sometimes we should separate the word differently. I do not say that jokes are for broadminded people only, but things should not be taken seriously.  After all, it is not meant to really hurt or offend anyone or any races.

Jokes are jokes. Keep smiling!
