A good project always inspires me to step up. I want to do new things all the time that when I am given an opportunity,  I really give time in researching and compiling things that I need

But what can trulu inspire me more is when my husband gives me some points to ponder and give that push to make things happen the way I have planned.

When I was younger,  I have heard stories from my aunt. We always loved listening to scary stuffs,  but as I grew up I wondered if they were real.  I shrugged the thought of it but love watching horror movies.

It wasnt until I was in College when I started to hear things in our house. I never told anyone about it then.  But one “medium” whom my mom met told her the existence of some spirits in our home. They are not harmful so I wasnt afraid that much. But when I get scared of unusual noises,  I pray the Lord’s Prayer then I calm down.

Thanks for reminding @Lee Ka becausevI really need to get on track again.  My everyday goal should include spending a bit more time on this sitr coz I am missing a lot of great stories/blogs which I can learn from as well as to have time to share my two cents to those who might need advice.

My mind is a bit messed up coz I want to start with lots of things but it can only happen with others’ little help.  So am bit apprehensive.

I couldn’t agree more.  People have become obsessed in making themselves greater than others.  It is like not having a heart to be happy with other people’s success.

When I see other people who might be more successful than them,  there can be a tinge of envy but not to the extent of trying to push myself to be like them. We all have our own time. That is what I believe in.

Others may afford to buy the most expensive bags,  clothes or shoes.  Do I envy them? No really coz they are just material things which could no longer have the same value as the way I buy my things because I work to be able to buy the things that my family needs. My wants? I can always reward myself if I have the extra money. I buy things not to brag but to just to have something to use.

Comparing kids’ achievements may imply both a positive or a negative effect on the children. It all depends on how the child takes it- either just plain insult or a challenge.  I guess if we want to help our children to become better ,  pushing them in a positive way is the best. When children grow up being compared to one another all the time,  thus causes emotional and psychological tension betwern siblings which they may carry on until they are older.

I think that no matter how good a person is,  the in laws will always be in conflict with us because we grew up differently and have different beliefs.

I also had a more peaceful life when my family was living a bit far from them. Although we still lived in one of their properties,  a few blocks away,  I dont get to have “surprise visits”.  But when we were asked to live with the rest of my husband’s siblings’ families in one compound,  that was when things got a bit tough.  There are times that my brothers in law or sisters in law and me would have arguments. I stay away from them. I am really not the type who would be fighting coz it’s just a waste of time.  But they always end up asking for my help.  Yeah! They can’t live without me!  Lol

I am just happt to help them when they need me.  It is like given an award because I know I am more capable than them!  Hahaha ( evil laugh)😛

When I was younger,  I had the urge to try uding it.  But with all the stories and movies that I have heard and seen,  I am just too afraid something bad may happen.

Congratulations on your milestone here at Literacybase!  I hope that those who have cashed out could share their experiences here snd answer your questions which most of us newbies need to know,  too.

@Lee Ka then you are blessed to have a very supportive husband!  Congratulations!  Not all women have the same situation as yours. Keep up with that harmonious relationship and nothing can go between the two of you.

May 18, 2016 at 5:24 pm

@Lee Ka You have a long way to go! Lol
It’ll be a roller coaster ride. But just remain strong and always make your husband be a part of everything. I am saying this because there are husbands that just rely on their wives when it comes to disciplining their kids. And they just become their kids’ older buddy. And when moms scold the kids, they ran towards dad seeking comfort. Now mom becomes the evil villain! 😞

Both parents should be hands on in raising their children

@peachpurple yes you are right when you said that we will alwaysd be our dad’s little girl. I guess, I just get too emotional everytime I think of him.

Thank you so much! I am teary eyed but happy reading your reply.

May 18, 2016 at 5:12 pm

I am greatly touched, my friend. I am sorry that you were not able to spend more time with your father. But I know that he has bern looking after you.

I think it depends on the kind of topic. But I know that it could be difficult. But probably seeing things through the eyes of a lawyer wherein he woukd defend his client regardless if his client is the victim or the suspect. To do more research and try to think things through in a different light might work out.

I sonetimes do pro bono articles if I feel that the topic is worth my time. Money is not always an issue, for as long as I know I can deliver.

This may be true to some teachers and I applaud them because they are the real dedicated educators that persevere in teaching our children for a better future.

I am a Catholic. Although I am not as devout as what is expected from me, still I would rather preserve the life of a convicted criminal. Ending his life will not turn back time. But giving him some time behind bars shoulkd enable him to realize that his mistakes incurred consequences which he should face.

I understand that some or most relatives of victims woukd choose the capital punishment of death penalty. But probably, the implementation of such should undergo scrutiny and clarify the clauses under such law.

@Lee Ka my eldest is 22 years old and now in Law School. My second is 17 years old, a Freshman in IT. My third son, 15 years old is in 10th Grade and the youngest, 11 years old in 6th Grade.

My house is in chaos with four boys. Not that they are fighting with each other but they are most of the time asking for food! Lol They are like real-life pacmans!
