    No i don’t think the size of the family matters at all. What matters is how people relate. Anyway i will speak from my point of view and my family. In my family we are very few right now we are only 5 people. My mum sister and two brothers. We are auch a small family but we get along pretty well. small families are easier to manage and also easier…[Read more]

    • looks great

    • I guess the reasons for illegal migrant into USA is an old profession. Though people died in the process the number keeps increasing

      • The question is always the same:
        If your life sucks where you live and there’s a chance for happiness somewhere else … why would you not go for it?

    • Illegal because they do not have proper documents that will legally allow them to enter. It is the dream of many to make USA their home.

    • They come to the USA for a better opportunity in life. I’m a American but I think it cool people like the US and went to live here cuz I don’t lol

    • It is right . Crossing the border is for two reasons. One for a better living and another with a bad intention.

      Even if we consider the first reason for positive thinking we should accept that this crossing may appear to be acceptable on the ground that the land is ruled by some tyrant who has no care for these people The land is not protecting them and giving them proper livelihood providing job opportunities. Does it mean they should leave the land and disturb the lives of the people of neighboring lands?
      No one hires these people. If anybody shows interests in hiring them they can make an entry through legal means which nobody can object for.
      Coming and settling in some others land sharing their part of food without paying taxes and contributing to their economy is more crime. Again making protests against the actions for repatriation is even more intolerable. Should they be given citizenship also?
      They stayed all these days due to lenient attitude of the rulers. This is enough When the land on which they are living is facing problems why shouldn’t they leave this land and settle somewhere else? or is it the very purpose of their entry onto this land?
      I can not claim the ownership of a house which has received me as a guest and treated me with a warm heart.
      Here what the illegals literally want for all practical purposes.

      • Here is the God’s honest truth. ALL come seeking a better life (except the one who came to do damage). But not ALL are fleeing from oppression or hardship. If I may be blunt and brutally honest. I know America is great because white people give up their citizenship to come live here too! Many come from Canada and various parts of the United Kingdom, as well as Australia. Just an example. Just telling it like it is! 🙂

    • In case of Filipino immigrants, its not only the greener pasture which they believe they can only in United States, though partly its part of it.

      Why Filipinos are in America? I think there is tradition why there is diaspora of us. You see, much of the communities in Hawaii are Filipino. They have been there for a long time ago. In fact, 15 Filipinos were the first OFW in Sakada or sugarcane plantation. They arrived there in 1906. From that number of 15 Filipinos it multiply to thousands until the last wave of migration in 1946. Now most of the families are there. Those who did not come back in the Philippines stayed there. Then they get their family members in US.

    Teriyaki is a common favorite when we go to Japanese restaurants. Why wouldn’t it? It is super tasty, sweet, and I can’t think of anybody who doesn’t love salmon! My husband particularly loves to order salmon […]

    • Yes, it is very easy and tasty in eating but most of the people do not like it as my mom and sister do not eat but I eat keenly every Sunday at home. Major salmon fans over here. This teriyaki salmon recipe is a winner! It’s so simple and doesn’t require any lengthy marinating, but is super flavorful. The salmon turns out flaky, juicy and absolutely delicious with the homemade teriyaki sauce (which is great on chicken too!).

      This is an easy salmon dinner idea the whole family will love. My son LOVED it and he doesn’t usually refill his plate for salmon. Funny all I have to tell him is “it tastes like Panda” and he’s sold. He’s big on Asian flavors

      Ingredients for Teriyaki Salmon:

      2 – 3 lbs salmon filet sliced into 2″ wide slices

      for the sauce:
      3 Tbsp teriyaki sauce
      3 Tbsp hoisin sauce
      3 Tbsp soy sauce
      1 Tbsp white vinegar
      1 Tbsp sesame oil
      1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
      2 large or 3 medium garlic cloves, minced
      2 tsp freshly grated ginger, or 1/2 tsp ground ginger

      How to Make the Teriyaki Salmon:

      Prep: Grease a large rimmed baking sheet (cover with foil and then grease for easier clean-up). Preheat oven to 400˚F.

      1. Combine sauce ingredients and stir until brown sugar is dissolved.

      Place individual salmon slices in a mixing bowl. Pour the sauce over the salmon, cover with plastic wrap and let marinate 20 minutes (at room temp or refrigerated).

      Transfer salmon to prepared baking sheet (keep the marinade). Bake at 400 for 13-16 minutes or until salmon is flaky and cooked through, bake times may vary by thickness of salmon.

      While salmon is baking, transfer remaining marinade to a small sauce pan and bring to a boil then reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally until slightly thickened (3-4 min) then remove from heat.

      Once salmon is out of the oven, brush with teriyaki syrup, then sprinkle with chopped green onion and sesame seeds as desired.

    • I designed our house and this is how it is. You enter into the living room. The living room is connected to a narrow hallway that leads to the kitchen, our master bedroom, the toilet and the upstairs. .This tiny hallway connects everything. There is also a way to get to the first floor from outside. There is a narrow hallway upstairs too that connects to the two bedrooms, the toilet and the terrace. We do not have attached toilets.
      In other words there is total privacy.

      • WOW! It must be sweet to be able to design your own home. Most of the houses we’ve lived in were already built. We never got to do a brand new home from scratch! That’s cool! 🙂

        • We gave up our city life and moved to a semi rural tow, just so that we could get cheap land and that is how I could fulfil my dream of designing our home.

          • You’re brave. I grew up in a cosmopolitan city, Miami, Florida. Our first relocation was to a major Texas city, Houston. From there we went to the nation’s capital, Washington, D.C. We left D.C. and lived in El Paso, Texas for a couple of years. But we determined to move to Austin, the capital of Texas. We’ve been here since 1998. I don’t think I could give up the city life. My husband always laughs at me about that. He saves I could never survive if I didn’t live in a city. I’m afraid he’s right about that.
