That’s a funny tradition indeed. So, what if the groom is stingy and won’t give money in exchange for giving back his shoes?
I have read and saw on TV Indian weddings and they are really lenghty cermonies and rituals, though very enjoyable to attend actually.
And it seems it involves a lot of money, like the dowry? I think if one is poor, then can’t he marry a girl in a simple ceremony?
Here if the couple would want to economize, they just get married civilly. At least they will only have the parents and godparents and closest family to feed after that for a celebration.
Here too, getting married is also expensive now, if the bride wants a big wedding. So impractical.
My hubby and I got married in a simple church rites. Only about 50 people including the entourage were present at the church and at the reception. But at least, after the wedding, we already have a refrigerator, sala set, cooking utensils and gadgets and TV.
Hubby and I are both practical persons. 🙂

I am good with cashless money , like using the debit card. At least with the debit card you are still cautious in using it, because if it doesn’t have a balance in there, you cannot use it.
But not with a credit card, wherein you are given a purchasing power so big, that if you keep using it, you will be in deep water. It will have a big interest and would keep getting interest when you pay in installment or the lite scheme.
Nowadays, here in the Philippines, people are already so much into debt because of the credit cards. Sad, that these people are now being harassed by the credit collectors of being sued for not paying the entire amount including the big interest, once they skip paying the monthly lite payment.
Debit card , yes to me .

Thanks for this post. I will try it. I read that sesame oil is good to use too, so I have it and will try it on my face. It has a very nice nutty smell. I will also try coconut oil; the one extracted and cooked locally, not the one used for cooking or frying. Native therapists use it for massaging or healing people who got some dislocated joints. (maybe minor ones).

i am going to try it, i like it and that is so nice infromation to share it thanks again, though liked olive oil and tried it and work wonders for me but i did not try it with other things like mix this with that, olive with coconut or olive with caste, I guess it has to be done one day and try it, cleaning face and body also is really good for the health and keeping health for longer, have to accept that life will make us age, but still we can delay it maybe sometiems,life is making us aging and let us age in a beautiful way, i like to collect these info for future usage and trial also, but now i guess its the time to use one of it, i guess that will be the first since it is easier, just mix things together and apply and wait, good really

Living in denial is the greatest injustice you will ever do to yourself. Many times we make mistakes but we will always look for someone to put the blame on. We do not want to accept that we have made a mistake and that we should seek for forgiveness, learn from the mistake and move on and do what is right. Instead we get into the blame game. It’s easier to blame others than accept our mistakes. In fact if anything when we accept our mistakes we are more at peace and we don’t feel like we are stuck or stagnant. It doesn’t mean that when you accept your mistake people will hate you or you will loose your friends forever. You may loose a few friends here and there but those are just the ones who are not close enough to you to accept your mistakes and forgive you, do not hold onto them, instead let them free and let them leave they would be doing you a favor, and one thing i I know is that they will not add any value to your life for that matter.

Our lives are surrounded with troubles all through. There is no day that someone will say that they have never encountered troubles in their lives, or they can go through the week without facing any kind of trouble. It could be in school, at your work place, at home or wherever you are. Troubles are part and parcel of life, as much as we may try to assume them, they always seem to appear, and we cannot run away from them. So the best thing we can do for ourselves is to be brave and bold enough to face them instead of running away from them. That way even God knows that you need his help to overcome them and he usually comes through for us whenever we call on him. Like for me when i go through some troubles I don’t even think of sweeping them under the carpet, instead I gather up the little courage that i have and do what is expected of me. Many times I may be afraid to face the trouble for fear of failing or not getting the results that i am looking for, but i I always give myself that hope of doing right. So it’s good to always just trust in what your doing and God will definitely guide you through it.

Sorry to hear about the situation in your country due to climate change and drought.They really affect a country badly. I saw one blog here having the people forced to drink boko juice instead of colas due to health factors.Thanks for sharing your nice blog.
I totally agree that we all must change our eating habits. Eating healthy is a sure way of staying alive. I’m about going for a health check to know my status, the last one done was in 2011. I was a clean state of health, I felt good. Over the years, I have now changed my eating habits, from drinking coke to water, eating junk to veggies etc. I pray to come out clean, I need to be alive for my kids. Although eating healthy seems kind of expensive, but I purchase what is affordable and follow that route.
