I enjoyed reading this blog, it tickled me a little. It reminded me of an incident that happened bout a month ago with my aunt.
So we decide to go shopping one day me and my aunt while the kids were at school. We Aldo went out to eat that day. We both decided togoto the mall to check out some shoes. We shopped around in there I know at least 2hours that day. It started getting close for the kids to get out of school so we headed towards home. Once we arrived home my aunt realizes she can’t find her cell phone, so I began to call it, I called a couple times, then finally someone picked up, said they found it located in rue 21. So I stayed to grab the kids off the bus while she road back up there. When she arri ed back she had her cell, I said to her “you mean it was still in there by the time you made it back! She replied saying the lady that picked the phone up was still there waiting. Boy was that a blessing. Now days if it were anyone else theory would have picked up rthe phone and keep to
Long, they would have either keep it or sold it. I told her look like we still have a few good people left in this world after all.-
Yes, there still are honest people around the world .
Here , there are stories on TV of drivers, janitors and pedicab drivers returning bags left by their passengers or forgotten by a person and returned by these honest persons. Those have money as high as a million, yet they were returned to the person who left it.
The were given commendation by the government, one was even given a scholarship to continue his studies.
I am glad that you mother still was able to get her phone.

It’s encouraging to know that there are people who share the same sentiments as I do. I love watching and listening to health programmes. It is very helpful given that this ar3 things or situations that are real in our lives, it’s not a joke. I get to learn quite a number of things, how to deal with emergencies , the cause of some diseases and all this things can actually help or avoid bad situations from getting worse. Whenever I am watching them and there is someone there with me that will always join me in watching and at the end of the day they appreciate having watched it. They are good tv programmes that people should watch and learn.
-
I think there’s a lot of us who watches such shows, because of the prevalence of diseases which can after all, be remedied naturally.
Actually, the old people in the house likes it so much too. I would always switch on their television at the dining room while they have their breakfast. Hubby also watches it whenever he wakes up and it’s still what’ on TV, being shown while I also watch and dances for my exercise .

You know we learn things everyday! Which I enjoy the fact that I learn something everyday. Rather its something big or small, were still learning.I enjoy learning and studying the body. I search the web all the time and usually watch health channels. To me, your bad is the most important. I try taking in everything I can learn in my brain about out bodies. Dr. Oz is one of my favorites. He disscuses some of everything. From strokes to talking about what’s good for your feet and what to use for dead skin on your feet. Dancing is also very healthy for you did you know? Watching Dr.oz lets you able to learn things that I can handel doing myself without going out and having to spend a lot of money down the road. We should always keep our bodies up. Dont you wannalive a long healthy life?, I sure do.
-
I am happy to know you are just like me, happy to learn about anything everyday . Everyday is actually a learning experience as it is said.
Indeed, we should always find ways of doing something that can make us healthy and live longer without pain in the body. You will be surprised that we can get rid of some medications and replace it with natural remedies.
I also would like to read those health tips from Dr. Oz. How do I find him at the net please?

I’m not a regular viewer of health TV shows but every now and then I may tune in if the topic is a health matter that I’m interested in knowing more about. Those shows have their value. But just like you don’t believe everything you read in a book or other writing form, you don’t have believe everything you see and hear on a TV health show or via the Internet. I believe in natural remedies. But I will also take a prescription medication or an over-then-counter drug, or get necessary medical treatment from a professional practitioner. Whatever cures my ailment! I’m not suffering if I don’t have to!
-
I agree that we still have to take those prescription medicines, as long as it cures our ailment.
Nowadays, there are a lot of natural remedies being advocated on the net. I am happy that everyone is sharing what made them well without having to spend much on them.
-
-
Yes on TV programs, they explain it in layman’s term for everyone to quickly grasp what is being talked about.
I also read a lot about health on the internet. As I grow old, I like to read those that pertains to health. Tha’s because I like to know of things on how I can make myself healthier and live longer.

yes. This is true. This is an eternal truth with the lives of all. Sisters and brothers quarrel among themselves and even bear spanks from parents and it will not deter them. They continue it and as they age they slowly develop affection towards each other and they help each other. It is this quarrelsome nature in their childhood that makes a strong foundation for their affection. They dress together, they share and they learn how to make the parents happy. They remain as sweet memories in life.
This is generally seen mostly in the Indian culture. But, I am not aware whether such things do happen in the cultures of other countries also. I think they do not.
In India, ever body has got right to chide any child if he commits a mistake or go wrong. Our neighbor also sometimes chide our children if they go wrong. They do it nicely and in an appreciable manner.
Our teacher in the school is fully licensed to punish us like a policeman. Ultimately when we grew up it is this teacher who will be in our memories and we respect him and remember him throughout our life.
Unfortunately, I am the youngest one in the family and all my elders were chiding me and even kidding me equally. I was sometimes even their protector for their mistakes and even saving them from the domestic punishments. They were showing at me for their mistake when they were questioned by parents and escaping punishments. All the three sisters are jewels and they all loved me throughout and are still loving me. I am really grateful to them.-
Actually , here in the Philippines , the parents can choose to be disciplinarian to their children as long as they don’t inflict too much physical pain to their children.
Our father spanks us in our childhood and my husband also got to spanked with a slipper on my daughter’s covered butt, because she was getting stubborn. After that incident, our daughter learned from that and from then on stopped on being stubborn and grew up to be a smart, simple and obedient girl.

Hen I were younger I had a great childhood and seems to be that there were always something to do. I have two sisters and WO brothers my babybroter has always lived with my and my mother and my other brothers and sisters was raised up with my grandparents after they got older because they moved in to help take care of them,even tho they lived with my grandparents I still got to see them everyday.we got along pretty good. Me and oldest sister would bump heads sometimes. We still lobed each other though, even had lots of good times.
-
I think that’s how siblings are, quarrel with each other but still they love each other. Children are naturally naughty and can’t be told and stubborn so that’s why they always clash, especially with siblings.
However, all of this will be eventually outgrown, and will be replaced by love for each other.

Mmmhh my mum is an amazing lady indeed. I can say that she taught us well when we were kids and so on. She taught us how take take care of one another and not do things that would hurt the other. I have two sisters of the eldest one passed on. Right now we are just the two of us. Me and my younger sisters have been living like twins but the truth is we are actually 5 years apart. Some people don’t even understand how we get along so well with each other. I guess it’s the way we were brought up to be caring towards each other, and helping one another whenever we can.
I cannot say that we have never fought, we have not physically but with words and i think that has made us better because we know each others weaknesses and strengths. She may sometimes get in my nerves by doing things that I may not like, I will get mad the whole day but that will not last for 2days, we will have forgotten the hurt and moved on. I loved all my sisters back in the day and i still love the one remaining to bits. She one person that i rely on most of the time and vice versa so we actually compliment one another in all that we do. It’s important to keep the relationship between sisters strong and close because when you get into trouble that are the ones that will see you through.-
That’s very nice to know that your mother took care of each and every one of you well.
Us, too were taken cared of well by our mother. Though, it is inevitable that my second sister who is a bit stubborn and wouldn’t want to be under me since Iam the eldest , would always pick a quarrel with me if she doesn’t like what I said or what I do, even if it is the right thing to do.
Oh well, that’s how siblings are, in childhood would be enemies, but growing up they learn from their quarrels what each one dislikes thus, changing their ways to at least conform with what each one likes.

Sisters or brothers do quarrel when they were younger. But not anymore when they become adults.yes. I do agree.
Personally, Growing up, our relationship was interesting. Reallinng all the silly things we did, just left me laughing. But i guess it made our lives interesting and fun.
We had our own fair share of every normal life experienced between and among siblings. Quarrel this minute and making up the next minute. I loved my siblings so much that When we quarrel,though pissed but I’ll still go close to them. I would follow my immediate brother about even after an arguement.lolz…
Between my sister and I, we dragged and argued on issues that matters nothing.clothes, chores, attention etc., but the interesting part is that we make up without knowing. Should we argue on a matter when running errands together,we will not talking to each other till we get home. Lolz…
But now, as adult when offended you talk about it, you may show your grievances but in a more mature way, and rectify as soon as possible. Sometimes, may even overlook or tend to ignore those behaviours that may have caused quarrel in the past… Lolzzz..
I guess it’s all part of growing up.
Just wondering how boring and uninteresting life will be without all these. I guess all those experiences gives us memories of our childhood, and also gives us something to miss when we’re all grown up, and facing our individual lives as adults. Stories to share with our children..*smiles* and also the enlightenment on diverse strategies to solve such intending issues between or among our children, which definitely will still arise at some point in their own lives..-
That is true . I think all of us in our childhood experienced having quarrels with our siblings. Though , these quarrels makes us realize while growing up what our differences are and try to correct them as we grow up.
Thus, as we grow up we become close to one another.

Wow. I’ve always admired those who had a relationship with their parents or siblings. I didn’t have quite a great relationship with my mom growing up. I was really close to my dad. My dad also had four other sons, making me his fourth child, and the only girl. My mom’s son and I grew up together, so I would love to think of my big brother as my best friend. We cleaned together, covered for each other, played outside together, etc. My dad’s sons were very distant. I think they held resentment toward me because my dad was in my life more than theirs. I can understand their anger toward him, but I always have to question why me? Sometimes we talk and sometimes we don’t, but I wish day by day that our relationship was a lot better than what it is.
-
SO you mean, you aren’t close to your mom because she loves her sons more than you and those sons are not from you dad? I am just a little confused on the situation.
Although, usually , daughters are closer to their dads as I have observed.
It would have been better if you were close to both parents. Though, sometimes we cannot help loving one much more.
But to be honest, I also love my father more.

I had a great childhood although my younger Brother was a terror! He would always pick at us girls and start fights. Needles to say my mother always had a belt around her neck to get the next unexpected child that was acting up. This was a time when it was O.K. to belt your child or use some other form of physical punishment. Of course we were always little angles because of the fear of getting licked in the butt by some leather. We played outside from sun up till sundown, now days kids have no idea what playing outside all day is. We used our imaginations and made some cool things with our hands, we were able to fix our own bikes and solve our own problems, not like today’s kids
-
During those days, the belt is one way of disciplining the children. And I think, it was a very effective way because we children fear the belt so we behave. ha ha ha
You are right, during those olden days, we are happier and I think healthier children because we get to exercise always by playing outside.
Sad that nowadays, children are into playing with their gadgets, that they don’t get exercises naturally, anymore. And they don’t know the fun of interacting with their fellow children. Though I suppose at school, they get to play with their schoolmates.

Growing up my sister and I argued same as other siblings. I do not know if us having different fathers affected our relationship, but I think as children we were about average when it came to how we treated each other. My mother and I have always had a good relationship even through my preteen phase. My sister and mother however did not have that great of a relationship. Part of this, I think, was due to my sister moving in with her dad when she was about 12 years old and she may have felt as if our mother did not care about her or something even though that was not the case. When my sister and I were together we argued, I think, more than most siblings. We got into arguments at dinner, church, movies, family events, etc. I know one reason we fought so much was because of how disrespectful she was to our mother. This often caused fights and I think put a distance between us as teenagers. Another thing that we fought about was how my sister acted, spoke, the music she listened to, etc. At that time I was too immature to accept that she was her own person. I did not like her friends or the music she listened to, therefore I judged her and this led to arguments. At that time I thought it was okay, now though I know I should have been more understanding. It was not until we graduated that we started to talk more as friends. My sister is now 24 years old and did not start being more respectful to our mother until she was about 22. Even though my mom did not force us to to talk, my sister and I did start to build a relationship now that we are older and more mature. We started calling each other often, going out to lunch and having more in common. I am glad to say that with in the past few years, even though we do disagree once in a while, my sister and I have become a lot closer and I consider her not just my sister but also one of my best friends.
-
See, I think it is the immaturity in all of us that lead siblings to fight each other.
In the case of your sister, I must say that partly because she grew up being with his father, thus she developed a hatred to your mother because instead of her, it was you who was with her.
Well, understandably, children would be jealous of what each one would have.
Though, as you observed, all those were outgrown and because of maturity, both of you realized that you are one family, so you came to understand that the both of you will have each other when the parents will eventually be gone.
Such is the prize of maturity.

I grew up with 3 elder siblings all are girls with our youngest sibling not yet born (she was born after my 3 sister were already married. They love me so much and I love them also, we may quarrel over toys, food and all other small things under the sun but after an hour or so we make-up we are siblings after all. Now that we are all grown up (me still considered one of the youngest) we still have that sisterly love in us especially on our little sister who is gonna be 8 years old this march (I was 14 years old when she was born) eve thought we bully her often.
-
Wow, that’s a big age gap with your youngest sister – 14 years!
I know that she’s the apple of everybody’s house in the house despite being jokingly bullied at times.
At least, now that her elders have married and is all grown up, she can still be with your parents since most of us once we are already working , we are on our own already.
Sisters are sisters no matter how much quarelling they would have in their childhood. When they mature they become closer.
So, you are all 4 girls. Us, we are 5 girls, my father trying to have a son. When we are already 5 girls, he decided to give Up. Now, most of us have sons forour children. Two of my sisters have 3 all boys each.

My sister and I used to fight a lot as children, but as adults we made friends. I think a lot of siblings have a big rivalry thing going on. I know we did. Now we just accept each other for who we both are and that we are very, very different in character.
-
I think most children are like that. One of the traits of children is selfishness. They want everything they see for themselves only.
Even when our only child, now a lady doctor , when she was a kid don’t like a sister or a brother. She only wants herself to be our only child.
But when she grew up she began being selfless and learn how to give to others.
Unluckily, I never get to know how she will take it if she had a sibling, because she was our only child.
-
-
Actually, it is so nice when sisters have big gap on their ages. The tendency of the older one would be that she would be so caring and loving to her younger siblings , just like being a parent to them.
Lucky are those youngest because all her older siblings loves and cares for her and when they have their own jobs would be giving her whatever she requests that they can afford.
Unluckily, I am the eldest so I didn’t experience that. I did all the caring and loving.
-
when my brother and I were young, we had a great time cycling, playing badminton, play catch, taking bath together, lots of fun stuff to do that we were never bored in every single day.
But when I got to know my hubby ( then boyfriend) everything changed.
My brother hated me and tried ways to separate us.

We ought to love our parents.Those who are already parent now realized how tiring life hand been for them in the past when their children cannot stand by their own feet. What you are doing now to your parents only tells that they are very good to you,m great providers and to you all never fades , that is why , we have to believe and agree that this philosophy is true: LOVE BEGETS LOVE.
-
And as good children, we should return their goodness by taking care of them well, now that they are old. We should relish the time now that they are still alive and show them how much we love them. We may not have lots of money to give them, but devoting our free time with them is one nice way of showing them our love.
-
-
Awesomely awesome. Love is beautiful especially when it’s selfless and all given. Most times the unconditional love exhibited by parents to their children, motivates and inspires me to extend such to my lovedones. The joy of every parent is that they beget a child or children,and watching them grow in the positive path which they’ve taught them feels beautiful,but their joys become full,and they feel fulfilled and accomplished when they live to reap the rewards of their hard work in their children. Your dad is blessed. You’re blessed as well to have such wonderful parents, and family, and I’m quite sure you’ll pass it on to your kids in the future…
-
Thank you . Indeed , parents do all that they can, even incurring debts just so that their children can finish college.
And when the children finishes college and finds job , they are the proudest.
How much more when these children are now the one taking care of their needs and welfare, though parents did all they can out of their love , not out of obligation.

Thank you . I can already sense that, because when she came home for a vacation last December, she was the one who looked for our seat at a fastfood, then , she let me sit and she lined up to buy our foods.

I love all kinds of celebration, because they are basically to have fun. But the most happy celebration I ever have in my life is when I give birth to our child. I treat it as a celebration – a celebration of a new beginning as a mother . I guess, every mother can agree with me .
Other than that, I love Christmas too , because it’s not only…[Read more]
