I don’t. When I ask that, it is to know if the person is really in good state or not. If not, I will be listening to whatever she would share about it.

I can empathize with people. I can also give advise should they want it.

I don’t actually say “how are you” to any person or friend. I choose to give them to people I truly know. With other people , I would just say a simple HI and smile.

If somebody who asks that question is not a close friend or relative, I will just answer, “I’m fine!” because I do not want to elaborate even if I am not fine. I should not tell them how I was doing because it is not proper to do so. But to ask such question is just alright.

I don’t believe in “super powers”. Rome was an empire. The British had an empire. I don’t believe in “super powers”. There is no real Superman. There are no real “super powers”.

I watch the old episodes of this show either on TV or via Netflix. I can’t get enough Rod Serling. I grew up watching this show and I am so glad to be able to watch the series again!! Images in black and white. Just like how I remember them! 🙂

Excellent question in the end of your article “One wonders what is going on.” Over the past few years, it seems to me as if the Western media is constantly pushing stories and images of homosexuality in our homes through plays, books, movies, and news. No story seems to be complete without a homosexual character even where it is not needed in the plot or has got nothing to do with the story.

I must agree that it being a movie that caters for children and their parents, that part should really be cut.

Indeed it seems that homosexuality now is now being injected in movies. Good if it is to make people laugh, it will be okay and can be watched by children, since gays are people filled with humor.

Actually, I haven’t seen that movie yet. Maybe because it’s the for children type of movie that’s why I am not interested, although I can watch that should I want to. I think the kid in me has already slept just waiting to be awakened.

Though here in the Philippines the children are used to seeing gays in fact some of them are already gays at a young age.

However, in your country where it is not yet openly accepted, it understandable that the said part be cut instead. That’s a good move of your government. I salute your government for doing that.

LOL. If people could re-write the Bible they’d make the relationship between David and Jonathan homosexual. Believe me I’ve heard people try to argue that! So there’s a gay scene in the latest version of “Beauty and Beast”. Why am I not surprised?

And I am and my husband one of them. We both don’t say sorry when we realize our mistake. Although, we would hug to make up for the non-existent sorry.

Yes, I would nag him and accuse him too when he didn’t answer my call. I would text him nagging words also.

And when he arrives home, he would explain and show to me his phone – drained. I would feel ashamed of myself, but won’t say sorry. I would hug him instead.

I think we understand each other when we are sorry because we both would hug instead of say the very difficult word sorry.

Funny, how he waited for your response. He is a bit of a paranoid. Imagine waiting for you when it is just a virtual place.

WHen I am on a blogging site, I don’t actually expect to be responded at once because I know that we all have different time zones.

But when my comment gets a response at once, I would really have a nice interaction with that person. We would comment on each other’s response until it gets too long and funny.

Arguments are often caused by misunderstanding or lack of communication. Some people who are having a bad day, sometimes lash out, to start an argument with the wrong person or it could be the right person. This does not make it right, to start an argument. One thing that I realize, is that nothing can be resolved when this happens.

When a person is living a miserable life, this is also a reason that a person might become argumentative. It is hard to ignore this person, but would be the best result so the argument will not be escalated. Arguments can turn out to be very ugly if it is not handled correctly. Someone has to be the better adult about it.

There are times when a person wants to have the last word, which can also trigger an argument. I have learned that you are not always going to get your point across to a person. It does not necessarily have to be your fault, but you have to know when to let things go. If there is no reason for you to respond to this person, then don’t. Sometimes you can just be tested by certain people, to see if they can get a reaction from you. If you bite, then the argument is on!

So just be mature about the situation and handle it like an adult. If a person wants to start an argument, let them argue by themselves. Talking, being civilized, is often the best solution when an argument occurs. If there is no reasoning, then you need to walk away.

That is sad though that the tulips time has ended before you arrived in Amsterdan. I suppose the tulips are one of the most sought for sight in AMsterdam.

Tulips are imported also here when Valentine comes. It is so expensive. But for those rich lovers, they don’t mind as long as their sweetheart can also receive even just 3 tulips flowers. I think a bouquet would really cost a lot, that an ordinary and practical person like me would just choose to spend the big money to a very nice dinner, complete with a band.

I have never actually seen a tulip flower. Only on pictures. My daughter always receive 3 tulips on Valentine’s day. During our time, we don’t have tulips yet.

It really can dampen one’s spirit if what you dreamed of is not what happened.

The photo that accompany your article is so beautiful and breathtaking!

You are also right that this should not ruin that European Trip you took due to the ineptness of the travel agent who arranged your tour.

I had the chance to ‘visit’ Amsterdam, to change flight in going to England, but only in Schiphol Airport, around July of 1991, and they were selling Tulip bulbs in their souvenir shops there.

Thank you for the very informative topic about tulips.

I also wish that we can grow Tulips in our country, the Philippines.

Wow, they look beautiful.

it really spiritual thing to look at this breathhtaking photo, i like green trees but also flowers and roses are awesome thing to look at, topic is really good and shops here also full of good breathtaking flower, i like to grow this things in backyards but tulip is hard to take care of and wish to do learn it one day though, i like now jasmine its not easy to take care of it but its easier compare it to tulips, and beautiful and has good smell that reach in house too
