@bestwriter I understand you. At first, I also stopped submitting any posts when I have two awaiting for approval, as I do not want to burden the team’s work. But after I read support encouraged us to keep writing, so I just keep submitting whenever I have written any. I usually just have two or three which are pending, it seems like the moderators here work harder than I, before I can submit more posts, they have already approved and published my previously submitted posts. 😀

@thinker Thanks for introducing your country. Grecy, peachpurple and I are from Asia, Southeast Asia to be exact. 🙂 I have found many Asians in online writing sites as well. Of course, perhaps more from Europe or US too.

@haraka I started to be more interested in blogging and social media sharing when I joined BlogJob last month. Many people are sharing and talking about these topics. Here in LiteracyBase, I think it’s good for me to continue learning these as well. I am trying to learn as much as I can, and see if I can also applies these to my freelance business. It’s really time for me to work on my freelance business, since I started 5 years ago. I didn’t really work on it. 😀 |

@jentleheart I always like to set my goals for the day, so it helps me to keep myself on track, though sometimes I allow myself to be lazy. 😀 Hope you’ll get your little help from others, so you can start with your projects. Have you listed them down? I always find that “braindump” helps to make us clearer and not feel overwhelmed too, so I try to always write down what I want to do. @rapidblue You really have a lot on your list. It’s good to have a daily schedule like that. 🙂 @lolaze Enjoy your party! It sounds good to have a party at workplace. 🙂 @haraka It’s okay, there’s always a tomorrow. 😀 Though I like to set goals, I try or learned not to be so harsh to myself. I actually always write more than I can do, if I can’t finish them by today, I will carry forward them to tomorrow. But, sometimes if I am productive and no other distractions, I might be able to complete all or even do more. |

@ruby3881 Here, as it’s a multi-racial country, some people speak Chinese, English and Malay language. I haven’t really teach my children English yet, so when they go to park, I think they usually like to play with those Chinese speaking kids too. But, sometimes kids just do not mind about the language barrier, they still play together. Slowly, they started to learn different languages from each other, or they just use their body languages to communicate. I do read English story books or picture books to my children, so maybe they can still understand a little bit. My son just told me, yesterday a girl talked to him in English, and he understood and even replied her, with a short answer “Yes”. 😀 Do you need to learn French there, or English will be just fine to you? Here, we have to at least learn English and Malay language. As Chinese, I’d definitely want my children to learn Chinese and speak Chinese as well. Now, I will have to plan for language lessons for my son. |

@ruby3881 I understand what you meant. Yes, you reminded me of those positive and friendly competitions. I did have that with a few of my high school friends as well. We studied together, helped and supported each other, and we didn’t get jealous no matter whose result was better. We did enjoy ourselves with studying together. I still remember sometimes we even picked a prize for the one who scored the highest or sometimes the lowest, such as a cone of ice cream, just for fun. 😀 I think this kind of friendly competition is fun and fine too. Yes, I am really grateful for staying here, though it’s in the city, we have a park and playgrounds in the neighborhood. I am glad there are still some parents like to bring the children to the playground always, and let the kids play there. That’s how my children have made some good friends in the playground, and I have made some good friends with the moms as well. I have heard from my other friends, though there are also playgrounds in their housing area, not many kids playing there. |

I just signed up to this blogging Summit, and I am still able to watch the videos from the first day, though I thought they should already be expired. The first video I watched is about pinterest, it’s only 22 minutes. So, I will see how much I can watch and perhaps I will be able to grab something from the videos, though not all. It’s always good to learn something new, then perhaps I can do more research about it later. 🙂 |

@peachpurple I agree with you. I do not really think parents are bad, no matter what parenting style they are using, it might just be different from us. Moreover, I think we also need to consider each child’s personality or temperament, and we might guide them differently too. I believe most parents love their children and are trying to do the best they can for the children. (I wanted to say all, but I can’t say, because I have heard some really did not love the child and abandoned the child.) I agree that we all learn through our experience in our parenting journey, same as our parents too. That’s why though I do not always agree with my parents’ ways, I am still grateful for them and appreciate what they have taught and guided me. They have always been learning and trying to provide us the best that they can, and do what they think are right. I do the same as well, it’s just that I might use different way. 🙂 |

I just realized I did not set any goals for yesterday and today as well. It’s okay, I did not do much. 😛 What I have done in these two days:
Others
Goals for today (19 May 2016) LiteracyBase
Others
I have not been working on my software project these two days, I am getting quite lazy for doing it. Perhaps I will focus on organizing my home first, then I will come back to the project later. |

@peachpurple Sorry to say that, but I think it’s good that your mother in law decided to leave on her own, it’d be better for your relationship as well. It’s not easy to stay under the same roof. Though I love both my mom and mom in law, I do not think I can really stay with them for long term. Both my husband and I like to do what we love, but not following their “rules”, hence it might be quite difficult for us to stay together. I do not want to always disagree with them, I do not want to make them unhappy, but there are something I certainly will not follow. Same as my husband, so my mom in law will not nag at my husband, she knows he is even more stubborn than I. 😀 Actually all my parents and parents in law disagreed with our decision on homeschooling, but they did not say much about it, as they knew my husband and I have made the decision. I just told them not to worry, as my children will be fine. Glad that now they seemed to accept it and agree with it. 🙂 |

As a stay at home mom, I usually spend time with those neighbors who are mostly also stay at home moms while we bring our children to the park nowadays. I am glad they do not really compare and compete with each other, but we are more like helping and supporting each other, especially sharing the parent’s challenges. I really do not like to compare and compete with others since I was young, I don’t like to be compared and competed as well. My results in school were quite good when I was young, some mothers always told their children how good I am, and they should learn from me. I did not like that at all! This would actually make the children jealous and did not like to play with me. Glad that my friends did not hate me and still befriended me. I even received a call from my primary school friend when I was already working. He told me he was so happy I left the school, as his rank was always just behind me, after I have left the school, he finally got the better rank in the class. I got a shock when I heard this. I did not know he was actually competing with me, and he could still remember it after so many years. See how competing and comparing can hurt a little child. I think we should always be grateful for what we have, and especially not to teach the children to compare and compete with others. |

@peachpurple I guess as parents, we need to guide them and do together with them at the beginning. Sometimes I get mad too, especially when I am pregnant now, I really do not have much energy to clean up for them. 😛 My son is easily distracted too, so I have to remind him or find interesting ways to make him do it. Moreover, I don’t allow my children to watch TV, use computer and mobile phone, and play games, but they have been playing with lots of stuffs all day long, so it’s difficult to tidy up those stuffs actually. 😀 Yes, I have never send my both children to school, even kindergarten. I really started teaching the academic subjects since grade 1. For kindergarten years, I just let them play, do some handwork or activities. I don’t focus on academic studies so much, especially in early childhood years. They are still very much in PLAY stage. I believe kids can learn well from playing too. Have you heard of Waldorf Education? I am trying to apply this education approach. I follow some guidelines, write my own lesson plans and just teach my son at home. Grade 1’s lessons are still quite easy to prepare, but Grade 3 onward will be more challenging. I do not follow the syllabus of public school. |

Thanks for all the compliments. I did not mean to be in the race or be the winner, but since I am going to deliver my baby soon, so I just think it’s good for me to complete this mission before that. 😛 With the revised rate of blog posts, it really helps me to earn faster. I just keep submitting blog posts whenever I have any, but there are usually two in the queue. I just realized that we will only be getting our payment on 10th of next month, according to the FAQ. So, I will not know if I will get paid until next month, unless support or admin has changed this payment rule. I will surely update you all if I get paid. 🙂 I guess I will take a break from LB later, as I really need to clean and organize my home, and also prepare for my baby’s stuffs. Less than a week to go, I still need to work on my software project and I need more sleep too. 😀 |

@grecy095 I can imagine how tiring it is to travel so far to work. I used to spend 3-4 hours on the road including the traffic jam when I worked in office, as it’s far from my house and the company was in the city center. Hope you will get to enjoy your weekend, with some good rest too. Good that you have met some nice friends, and the people there are professional and passionate. I think you will be able to learn some good knowledge from them. I enjoyed working with those who are passionate about their job. It’s good to hear there’s raining. Here in my country, I think the hot weather has left us, as we have more rains now. Hope it will not be so hot in your country too. @4cryingoutloud That sounds fun to have 2 grandkids with you later. Perhaps they will enjoy a different life style with you. You are staying in village, right? I am not sure about your grandkids, but I think most kids like to go to the park and have fun! Hope you will enjoy spending time with them, and get more good and nearer jobs too! |

@grecy095 If I am not mistaken, yoga and meditation helps us sleep better because we are totally relaxed and stress free after doing those. I visited a Buddhist temple last two months, and there was a big hall. Many visitors were there chatting and it was quite noisy as there was no event going on. There were places to sit down and I just sat and meditated for awhile. I found out I could really meditate with those ambient noise, as they really did not bother me at all. I did not sit down for long, because my children were beside me. I just realized that we can actually ignore those noises and not let them bother us. When we are in peace, all other external factors won’t be able to affect us. Chasing by a boar pig is really not fun. Glad that your friend was not disturbed, but still continued to meditate. 🙂 @swalia One of my ex-colleagues who is a Buddhist also wakes up 5am every morning, does her meditation and chanting, then only she goes to work. |
