      We will do this kind of dish when there is extra of chicken meat left during an festive. We love to put some mushroom and black fungus as well. The back fungus is more low cost compared to mushroom nowadays.
      The black fungus and all the black things seem very good for health and rich of nutrient.

      It’s nice to hear that your mum love dancing. Do you like to dance as well?

    • The sparkling look of the chicken said it is really a good one to taste. I have never tried steamed chicken because this is not the normal way we cook chicken. We cook chicken like roasting and friend and the popular adobo or cook in soy and vinegar. Steamed chicken seem a good one to try.

    Hence, I don’t cook when my in laws are around.

    Toddlers usually started to talk at age 1.5 or 2 and above.

    First words are important to eager waiting parents and grandparents but not all toddlers could talk early.

    Language delay often occurs in toddlers […]

    • alina replied 8 years ago

      I was among the kids that speak late. I developed the speaking capacity around the age of 2…much later than other kids

    • When one of my children was in elementary school, we all thought she had a speech impediment. When she grew up a doctor finally told her she had a problem with her hearing. Glad it all got straightened out eventually.

    • I have always believed that kids who are born into a family where people are constantly speaking to one another is most likey to speak earlier in life. The only thing I didn’t know is the fact that gender has a role to play in all this. I never knew that parents prefer speaking to their daughter’s more often than the boys. One thing I know is that boys are usually very stubborn and trying to teach them something really needs a lot of patience. Though I can recall when my nephew was born I think that boy was to rather to start talking he started a little earlier than some kids he was already uttering small small words like mama and dada meaning daddy at the young age of 1 year and in no time he was even able to ask for things especially when he is hungry he will Uttar a word like ik which meant milk of course with kids that will always leave out the main letter. But kids are awesome as much as they get on their parents nerves they are a precious lot.

    • Speaking is an art from the cradle to grave but everyone speak but a few talk sensible because speech is made on the basis of images and images are given by God on which the whole world foundation is built. Think God just say, let it be done it is done no speech, no use of words just a strong and might intention works.

      Learning doesn’t begin and end in the classroom. Once your child starts school, you might think teachers take charge, but your child is learning nearly every minute. And you have an important role to play in the process.

      Children and teenagers learn by observing, listening, exploring, experimenting and asking questions.

      Being interested, motivated and engaged in learning is important for children once they start school. It can also help if they understand why they’re learning something.

      And as your child gets older, he’ll enjoy taking more responsibility for his learning, and getting more involved in making decisions about learning and organising activities.

      Your role in your child’s learning
      Even if you think you don’t know much about learning and teaching, you’re your child’s first teacher. Your child will keep learning from you over the years.

      And even if you had a bad experience at school, it might help to remember that approaches to learning in schools have changed. Your child’s experience at school will be different from yours, so try to be positive. This will help your child feel positive about school too.

    peachpurple wrote a new post, Is Doing Homework a Waste Of Time 8 years ago

    The answer is NO, doing homework is NOT a waste of time.

    My […]

    • “Homeworks” is too general. Really. The homework you do in school are, in my opinion, useless. But I think that the way teachers explain you stuff is useless itself.

      Our brain doesn’t work in “read and repeat”. We learn by doing, watching, explaining. The most advacend methods of study does not involve much reading and stuff like that. Plus, many homeworks are essentially based upon nothing, and you just finish to waste your time. In that time, you could have studied the subject without getting bored by the same exercises over and over again.

      To teach something, you need to involve your students in what you’re teaching. That’s why students prefer the lab instead of the theory and that’s why nobody really cares about excercixes. And they go up to the top grades anyway.

      I think “homework” has to be redifined and, most of all, it should not be mandatory if not for essential part of the educational system. You can’t tell a 6 years old “do what you want”, but you can tell a teenager that school is a part of HIS education, and he can manage how he wants to persue that goal.

      Let me know what you think! 🙂

    • My homework was never a waste of time.

    • For me, homework is something i enjoy to do at home when i was still studying in my early years. I’ve learned so much from it doing sort of things which is very challenging to me. I still remember in my high school days, when one of my teacher in a particular subject assign me to check our class test paper and gave it to her in the other day! My favorite subject then is biology and history which i often got a higher grades of my class activity.

    • i was lazy to finish the homework and now i am difficult get the job

    • alina replied 8 years ago

      I don’t think it’s a waste of time. I actually was among the few of my colleagues who liked to practice in math. I remember I also liked english. anyway I think that doing homework allows you to practice what you learned in class and be sure that you fully understood what the teacher explained

    • Homework will never be a waste of time, it will always help the students to enhance their studies.

    • I have been a teacher and I always give my students something to do at home and it is a form of their homework. It may be a research work for their next lesson or unit of learning. It may be an enhancement of their present skill which they got it fairly. So they should be doing more study or practice the skill they have like in their math subject. The more they practice is the more the skill they may get from studying. As a teacher, I know that practice makes every student feel confident, get used to the skill they have learned.

      Homework is a part and parcel of student’s learning. Time which the students have in school is not enough or sufficient for them to learn. They have to practice and practice to make it perfect. The rote method of teaching may sometimes work. Memorizing doesn’t prove to be effective in the process of transferring learning to the students. That kind of technique is short lived. It has no lasting effect.

      So you are right that doing the homework or assignment at home is not a waste of time. It maximizes the use of time for in the school, time is not sufficient. So it should be followed up at home and that is the unfinished school work should also be brought home to finish it.

    • Tiada replied 8 years ago

      An interesting question! For those Chinese primary school which has a lot of exercise sheets, repeat the same scope of learning of revision could be too much for a small kids, like my 7 years old daughter.

      She has no time for relax, according to her. She need some leisure time, for pursuits her own hobbies, like reading. And, I hope she has more time to spend on doing some house core with me,like cooking,cleaning, learning all these life skills.

      And, she need some free time to do exercise as well for grow well and healthy.

    • During our days in school homework was one big issue for our parents. If you came home and you were asked if you have homework and you said no your parents would think something like your joking right, which school and which teacher would be that carelesz not to give kids homework? It was a big thing in families very crucial if I may say that. But I would agree with you that homework is not a waste of time at all. Why because it gives a child better understanding of what was taught in school that very day and that stuck better of in the brain than just being in class. I personally loved homework because I knew what it did for me and I am greatful to date that we used to have it. You know it’s very easy for a child to forget what they are taught in school during the day especially a child who is slow in catching up on studies it helps a lot. When we didn’t have homework which was very rare we were asked to read the next chapter of a certain subject so that we would have an idea of what itsvall about when wevernt back to school the following day.

    • Doing homework is not a waste of time but is saves human future. Keep in mind homework improves human sitting power is the root of knowledge. those who can sit may gain knowledge of all type. Those who cannot sit may not improve knowledge is a law of nature.

      It is a concrete fact that intelligence cannot make the deficiency of hardworking and homeworking while hard working can complete the deficiency of intelligence.

      Homework does not mean a lot of work beyond the children age is a wrong concept it is just to make money and to impress the parents. The motto of the school owner is through schooling just to make money and nothing else.

    • In my opinion homework is very important. parents should see that their children do their homework regularly. If parents donot give importance to it, their children wont show interest in it. what I want to emphasize is that the progress of a student is based upon the triangle, that is the student, the teacher and the parents.

    • Homework is a waste of time. It takes the enjoyment out of school and it takes up teacher time. Students need more free time for other activities such as sports, homework takes it away from spending time with family and friends.

      Students need more free time for other activities. Education isn’t the only important activity in everyone’s life. We all need some time to ourselves to prevent stress or blow off from some steam. It can damage family relationships and stresses parents out as well as their children. School takes up a lot of time that children can be using to do something more productive.

    • It takes the enjoyment out of school. We would enjoy school more if we didn’t have any homework. When we only get homework occcassionally we will consider that piece more important. Especially if we get too much homework it can take the enjoyment out of learning. No matter how engaging the teacher is in class , homework will almost certainly be stressful , boring and tiring. We know that there is no direct link between how much homework is set and grades.

      Some people believe that homework isn’t a waste of time. You have to try your best to do the homework that’s given to you. Millions of people work for themselves or work from home. The main aim of education is to prepare us for the rest of their lives. Homework is teaching us a key skill that we will need in the future . When we do homework we are learning on our own.

    • School is like breakfast and lunch to the brain and home work is like dinner being served to the brain. As our memories are unable to retain everything being told or explained in the class. We have to come home and recap what has been taught. Homework is ideally given for this purpose. So that it is like a reconfirmation for you that you remember what you understood in your class well.

      If homework is given in excess or is given just to make them something ten times. Then it becomes a bore for the students as it turns out to be mechanical and it would also stress the minds of the students. But we find that majority of the students are lazy and are into things other than studies and hence do not find the time or are not interested in doing the homework. When we get a package we have to take a whole package and we cannot pick and choose. Same is the case with studies as it is a package and homework is part of the package.

    • alina replied 8 years ago

      such things are good to know. I remember I had about 3 job interviews that I failed and I got out so disappointed of it. it’s true at the same time that I didn’t go too well prepaired

    • I remember three things that had worked me well when I applied for a job for the first time. my potential, my willingness and my openness to accept the unexpected. Since it was the first time for me to look for a job, I was, of course nervous. I didn’t know what to do in case my prospective employer thru their manager would interview me. I just prepared myself with a prayerful attitude that God knows what is best for me.

      It was my turned to get inside the manager’s office of the bank. What should I tell the manager of my experience since I just graduated from my commerce course, except for the apprenticeship I have had with the cooperating bank of the college which I studied. I handed in my letter of application to the manager. He took a short glimpse of it and put it down on his table. I thought why he didn’t read it a bit. He asked me the first question: “Why should the bank hire you?” With confidence, I rehearsed what I had learned from my bank apprenticeship. When I was done I looked straight to his eye.

      He asked the second question: “Are you married?” I answered him straight yes. No explanation. No elaboration. Then he threw a follow-up question: “Would you do if you are working when your wife gets sick and you’ve an important job to finish? Whom would you prefer to do?” I firmly replied that I would have to attend to my wife who is sick. My wife is my priority for she’s sick. She’s the reason why I should work.

      Third and last question: “What should you do when the company fire you?” I would accept it. I know that the company where I am working knows what is best. Therefore, if I deserve it or not, I have to accept me. I know there is still God who finds what is best for me. The manager stood up, shook my hands. He told me to start on Monday for I was hired.

    • Tiada replied 8 years ago

      Thanks for sharing, although I might not need these advice for the time being. Anyway, they are really useful for those school leavers, fresh graduates.
      According to my observation and experience, attitude is every thing. There are many newbie whom have bad working habits and attitudes.

      Take an example, they won’t call up and inform the human resource department if they are sick on a particular day, only when the human resource folks called them up only they will tell and request for a medical leave. It is really terrible.

    • All the above tips ar3 good for anyone who is planning to go for an interview. Many people oftenly assume or don’t take interviews as serious business. You would find others going here in tight fitting clothes, or maybe wear something revealing, and this can be very devastating for the person being interviewed. Others may think when you wear revealing clothes you will get favor from the but boss but that doesn’t work at all it instead works against you. Always be straight with your answers dont beat about the bush, say it like it is. Always wait to be asked to sit down don’t badge into the office and take a seat wait until you are asked to sit down. Actually it’s really all about ettiqute that’s all.

    • Number 3 is hard for me because I love coffee! 🙂

    • For me, one of the easiest way to release stress is laughter. Not only it is good for your health and body but it also relieve all the physical tension and stress in your daily lives, leaving your muscle relaxes in a certain period of time. It is easy, effective, natural, enjoyable to laugh. Worry Less. Be positive. Don’t cling on a negative side. Have a grateful life with full of laughter.

    • These are very good tips. I try to do something in the quiet almost every day, like coloring or my paint by number. Or I might play a little background music, because music destresses me, too. As for dark chocolate, I love that so I’ll treat myself anytime!

    • Tiada replied 8 years ago

      Everyone has his/ her own stress. We might have a wrong perception that only those working people facing stress which from their work. For those not working, might face the stress from the other aspects of life, like house maker might not have enough time to fetch children to school, cook, and her/his own leisure time.
      Thus, how to handle stress is really important to make a happier life. To me, a cup of coffee is a must to make up my day. Hehe!
      On the other hand, exercise is very important to kick away the stress.

    • Also, go to sleep. It doesn’t matter how soon your deadline is; you will slow down if you’re too sleepy. People usually forgo sleep in order to get more time, which is good when the deadline is tomorrow morning. But a good rest will go a long way. There are even psychological research studies on sleep and napping wherein their conclusions show that people have increased memory and spatial abilities.

    • Firstly, let’s debunk one myth: stress is not necessarily a ‘bad’ thing. Without this brilliant ability to feel stress, humankind wouldn’t have survived. Our cavemen ancestors, for example, used the onset of stress to alert them to a potential danger, such as a sabre-toothed tiger.

      Stress is primarily a physical response. When stressed, the body thinks it is under attack and switches to ‘fight or flight’ mode, releasing a complex mix of hormones and chemicals such as adrenaline, cortisol and norepinephrine to prepare the body for physical action. This causes a number of reactions, from blood being diverted to muscles to shutting down unnecessary bodily functions such as digestion.
