    Dina wrote a new post, Disco Dancing and Videoke Singing , The Fun Way to Relax and Be Entertained 7 years, 10 months ago

    In my college days before late 80’s until I got married, I was a disco goer along with my group of 5 girls.
    It was the craze during those times until about the 1990’s.
    My group of friends and I would go dis […]

    • Wow you were really a party girl according to your story. Partying the whole week or three times in a week may sound like a lot of time out, but it’s underatandable given that you were still young and in college.
      During my days I also used to go out but not as much. Mine was kind of limited, I would go like twice in a month. But it was not a given that I would go. But I can remember December was the month of having all this fun, because most kids were on holiday, celebrations are going on from every corner, parties are the in thing during this time. Me and some two friends of mine created a dancing group that used to perform routine dances, around the estates. We would have people from different places come to ask us to go and perform for them, and Mark you it was all for fun no one paid anyone we would do it for free and really enjoy ourselves in the long run.
      Going to the disco was a Saturday event. We would hang out the who night until the next morning at 6pm. We did this because if you left at midnight or at 2am in the morning, you would not get means to go home. Those are the days when you would not get taxis that easy they were mostly for the rich and quite expensive.
      Anyway I loved those days they were the most enjoyable and memorable days of my life. I wish I would go back to those days but am all grown now and taking life slow. Some of this things don’t excite me much nowadays. Am more quiet and reserved and just enjoying my quiet time at home.

      • So you too shared my penchant of having fun during our days when we were young and carefree.

        That was nice that you formed a dancing group that can perform randomly for other people to watch you. I guess , it’s the happiness of being able to give in to your passion of dancing and being watched and admired by people that made you enjoy it, just as I enjoyed the fun also of just being with my friends dancing the night away.

        We both have happy growing up days, that we can share with our children.

        I guess, my growing up years was lots of fun compared to my daughter’s who was always studying . ha ha ha But then, she’s now a doctor and we are so proud of her,

    • I enjoy watching disco dancing. It a lot of entertainment. But actually I enjoy all dancing. It relaxes me and even clears my mind. I even enjoy dancing myself every since I was a little girl. As I grew older I begin to pole dance. It wasn’t about the money. I just really enjoyed it. Dancing was a big activity for me.

      • Really you pole dance! Wow, that is difficult compared to disco dancing .

        Either way, bith is beneficial to our health. It helps us get a toned and healthy body.

        And I suppose you have a sexy body because of pole dancing?

    It will be interesting to study the history of the Mayans, Aztec’s and the Incas and many other kingdoms which flourished in the South American continent. These details will be well documented in the history books but not much of details are known to the common man in India or in other parts of the world which are differentiated by geography and…[Read more]

    Dina wrote a new post, What’s Hard In Saying That Magic Two Words , Thank You? 7 years, 10 months ago

    Last Saturday, my husband helped me cooked for lunch.

    He fried the fishes, while I cooked “pakbet”, my favorite vegetable dish of mixed slices of squash, okra, eggplant, string beans and some white beans we cal […]

    • Lolzzz.. From your writeup, its obvious you made a delicious meal. Perhaps they were carried away by the tasty meal you made them. So no hard feeling ok.

      “I was a bit disappointed, because I want to hear it. But I guess, I just have to be contented of seeing them eating the pakbet, as if they have no tomorrow anymore. Lol” and thats all that matters. Because their actions have shown you how much they appreciated your efforts.

      We learned them as children, but no mater your age these essential words are effortless to say and convey a wealth of meaning to others. They have a powerful ability to create positive interactions.
      But we sometimes fail to recognize and show appreciation for the everyday courtesies that come our way. And also sometimes when we don’t hear the two magic words from those we would like to hear them from, doesn’t mean we’re not appreciated.Most people know to express their thanks for gifts, favors, awards, and the like.

      I’m hoping you share your recipes with me in the future…

    • Well actually, I have known them, including my husband to be like that, no saying of Thank You. You will just know from the way the gobble up the viand and the perspiration in their heads, that they really liked what I cook.

      And at the bedroom, i would ask my husband if he liked what I cooked, he would joke NO! and hugs me.

      But then I still would like to hear it or even just a plain “It is so delicious!” .

      As you said these two words can really create a positive reaction from the recipient. Makes us wanna cook more delicious foods. ha ha ha

      Recipes ? I only cook simple foods. Or from what are the ingredients inside the refrigerator that is available. I call it cooking by chance.

    • Uuhhhhhh so sweet of your husband..*smiles* then you also telling him jokingly. “Honey I’ll like to hear you say it.it makes me feel better”lolzzz..

      You must be a very good cook for using the available ingredients in the refrigerator to do perform the magic they enjoy so much. Thumbs up.Continue keeping your family happy.

    From my observation , men tend to cheat more. A lot of my friends and acquaintances have husband who cheated on them. I think it is so true that men are polygamous by nature. Though I hate it that when a man cheats it seems it is not a sin to do so, but a common thing to do for men. But when a woman cheats, society looks at her so low.…[Read more]

    Dina wrote a new post, No One Stood To Give A Seat To a Girl Inside The Jeepney 7 years, 10 months ago

    Actually, this is a throwback from months ago, when I was still commuting to work.

    Now, I seldom commute because my gay brother-in-law is already assigned at our place, so he now stays full time at my […]

    • Generation now a days is getting worst.Ladies or elderly are even standing on public transportation’s. This kind of attitudes are often observed to younger generations.They do not offer seat to ladies even they see them standing,specially on trains where lot of people are rushing to work.But of-course take some considerations for those who do not feel well that they need to sit.

      • Are you from the Philippines Kath? Yes, specially at the LRT which I take also when I was working in Manila almost 16 years ago.

        Though, there is already a cabin specially for the women and elderly. Besides, there is a place of the PWDs. That is nice.

        But in jeepneys, no one offers the seat indeed anymore. Though, there are some nice teenagers who would offer their seats and they just hold on the back railings and ride at the back.

    • Fortunately , we still have gentlemen in our city. In fact yesterday, there was a guy who stood up and let the lady sit in lieu of him The worst scenario was, the lady did not even thank the teenager who sacrificed to stand for the sake of the old lady. I told the lady, no ore seat, but she insisted and the guy beside me stood up and offered his seat. I commuted yesterday for my car is in shop for cleaning. That case, I was so thankful for we still have gentlemen in our city, if there are gentlemen ; sad there are also hypocrites hard for them to say than you for the seat offered.

      • That’s also the problem of some ladies offered a seat. They forget or maybe don’t really want to say thank you to whoever offered a seat.

        The sweetest word that can motivate someone doing good for others are the two magic words “thank You”. I wonder, why some people find it so difficult to utter.

        My hubby is like that, he doesn’t ever say thank you, but would just hug me. he he he

        Well, there are still gentlemen on jeepneys.Though, on rush hour nobody wants to be a gentleman. ha ha ha

    • many of the new and old generation dont bother to stand i saw old and young men also dont care for woman old and young while the are standing the men are setting, how shame is that, i can not beleive it really what to expect worse than that? non that is the worst thing not to respect women, but i saw women supporting women and im so happy to see them like this, i do also support any woman in any situation as we have to support each other and not to be bullied at for any reason it is, way to go to the girls who support other women too, God bless
