Have to laugh at myself. Showing my age. When I saw the words “traditional games”, my mind went to board games like Monopoly and Scrabble and fun card games. As soon as I saw Pokemon I’m like … Oh well! Got nothing to say! 🙂
-
How can we allow our children play all these old stuff? They are all games meant for the poor and needy. In those days they were considered as good games. Only people having some financial background were allowing their children to go out and play. Most of the children were learning the work from their fathers. Earning some money was a great thing. People were working hard to earn some money . The poor man’s son was learning his work from his father. They were the games meant for those days. But there is technology now. We got the latest technology. Our concentration should be to move with the technology and know the things better than inviting the old traditions and customs. Are they of any use now? They are all obsolete. They can be considered only as memories.
We should not live in memories and spoil the children. First, we have to educate ourselves to know the best thing and then allow our children know the things.
Earlier a worker was accepting the Food when it was offered to him. Now can we offer such food to any worker? He, instead of accepting the food will get angry and throw it on our face. So better we change and move with the situation and time.
-
You may be right. But what is the use of it. I really wonder seeing people brooding over their past which has nothing to do with the present. Gone are those days when people were quite generous and kind. They were commanding respect not only in their house but also in the society.
When my Grandfather was coming out wearing a Turban along with a Coat people were just escaping from his sight. A Tanga was kept outside the house which was taking him to his office. He was a Tahsildar. He got every power to dictate terms to the people of his area. Do we have such people and are we commanding such respect?
Recollection of past is not a good thing. Let us live in the present and do effort to satisfy children with their choices and allow them to play with as many toys of their choices as possible. Allow them to lead a team instead of being in a team.
-
Times have changed a lot and I guess we have to move along. But with online games and computers, physical and emotional health has deteriorated in our children. There should be a balance and it is up to the parents to provide this balance by taking children to parks and gardens or enrolling children in swimming, sports classes etc. But technology is here to stay and we can’t keep children away from it.
-
Yes such games made us run and walk a lot and made us exercise. Howeer, shrinking space for parks, increased pollution and more crime has led to kids being more inside their houses after schools than outside.
So its a social issue as well. -
A survey out today points to a decline in traditional outdoor games like hopscotch, marbles and conkers. You may have heard me talking about the findings on Radio 5 live this morning (from 53’30” in), supporting the call for a ‘rough and tumble play’ campaign.
Mourning the loss of such games makes a nice summer season story. But does it really matter? Isn’t the attempt to revive interest in these games just shallow nostalgia? Is it even adults’ business to get involved? After all, these games have traditionally been passed down through the generations by children themselves, with little or no adult input.
Yes, people of the whole world have forgot their traditional games and following the country games is a bad thing as I think that because follow other peoples’ game but do not forget national games because respect lies in it.
Thinking of a new place to hide, a quick joke to end the opponent’s ‘statue’, discovering how regular household objects can serve as unique toys all silently hone creativity… Creativity is usually at a high while engaged in imaginative play, as it does not have boundaries.
There is no limit, for example, to the stories that can be woven around 5 barbie dolls, or the number of twists in rules that one can introduce to a regular ‘catch me if you can’ game. Electronic games don’t leave us with such opportunities.
Everything from the rules of the game to the levels and the equipment is preset for us. There is very little scope for invention and innovation. Food for thought.

What Mr.Duterte is doing is exactly what is the philippines required for. People will not listen easily and the pushers can not lose thier lucrative business so easily. The only alternative is to extinguish either the people or the pusher. It is only by eliminating the Pushers the check can be made to this problem. So he took a firm decision which his predecessors lacked and did not take any decision even in the interest of their country. They are all totally selfish and are all political crooks. The International communities and others selfish people may exaggerate the things but the President should not yield to such criticism. Often there will be some crooks who point out something out of nothing and something more out of something. Mr. Duterte should implement it even with an Iron hand and should teach a lesson to these drug Pushers.
-
That is so nice for your place, my friend. Here too, the mayor and all the employees were also given a drug test and it is said that none tested positive too.
This move of President Duterte in requiring all government employees to drug testing is one way to know if anyone amongst them is into the use of illegal drugs.
Though, I wonder if all policemen were also drug tested?

This is a nice topic and I will like to add my voice to it. I believe to eliminate mosquitoes we need more than insecticide.We need to imbibe a thorough habit of cleanliness for mosquitoes live in stinking and dirty areas. We must ensure our kitchens are always clean and all dirty plates and pots are washed always. In the same vein our toilet and bathrooms must not be left out. We must ensure they are always neat.
-
Cleanliness is the best strategy to eliminate these little vampires. Its so happen we are always in the losing side because they were never eliminated and thus they multiply and continue to give us headache. There must be a good vaccine now against this virus, where are our scientists and chemists to manufacture this medicine so that even if we are bitten by them, we will not be affected by dengue, chickungunya, zika and yellow fever.

Mosquitoes live to thrive on the dirt and the leftovers the credit of which goes to a human being.
Human being is considered as the most intelligent and is known for his rational thinking. Unfortunately, he is not taking proper care of the environment he lives in. He became totally indisciplined. Wearing suit and Boot, applying perfume on the whole body and dress does not make one a cultured man. He should know how to live comfortably and his existence should not cause panic to others but should give a sigh of relief. Is he doing that?
He eats and the leftovers are thrown right in front of the others house to take proper care of that material to which the latter does not care at all. There won’t be any dustbin to be found in around any corner of any street. The other materials included the old oily clothes, damaged foods , vegetables, fruits, spoiled mutton , chicken , and pork pieces, whisper pads, clothes used cleaning the house, spoiled tiffin, breakfast, nails, hair, razors, old chappals, sandals , socks, giving reverberating odor, not to mention, the list runs in thousands. When such dearest and tasty food collected in and around a locality it is quite convenient for the mosquitoes to make a comfortable living on them.
We need not kill , fight , or eradicate mosquitoes but we should eradicate uncleanliness in the premises we live in. This tendency is prevalent more in India because here the people are irresponsible towards themselves and never take responsibility for the society. Here they learn everything by Hunter lashes but not by words. Some foreigner should point out this position in a humiliating manner in his report . Even then everything goes right and takes twist and turns and the courts in India are already there to take a lenient view of everything without going deep into the gravity of the situation and to allow stay orders against the action proposed.
One will be wondered to observe that in most of the schools run by Government there are no Toilets for Boys and Girls. They take pleasure in going to the near by empty places or fields. The officials swallow whatever is released as per their mutual understanding with the Bureaucrts and Politicians. Totally shameless ceature on the planet Earth.
It is not necessary to eradicate the mosquitoes but to develop a sense of social resp;onsibility and cleanliness is more im;portant with particular reference to India. The P:rime Minister is introducing many schemes and concentrating on this issue more. But there is more to be taken up on war footing basis whole heartedlyh. Mr. Modi is the only Prime Minister who could concentrate on this issue and evolved a scheme to clean the entire country . Still the people of India are not considering or thinking over it seriously. Who should tell them. ? Should my neighbour come and clean my house?-
Wow, that was long explanation here about mosquito. You really did some good research about our little insects. Anyway its always good to be always aware about this diseases. What we should do the right thing, cleanliness in our surrounding where this mosquito thrive.
-
-
Thanks for sharing the reality of some places in our country. Siva is right too, we need to clean our surroundings. If we always clean our area, but we are not so sure if our neighbors also do the same.There are many stupid neighbors this time.
Before I go to sleep, I spray our sala and other rooms with Quick.I also bought mosquito killer lamp I bought on line at Lazada. In the day, we always plug 24/7 Baygon in current. We are doing these things because we have children at home ages 4 and 6, my nephews.
If everyone is willing to accept cleanliness as way to a healthy life, then there will be no dengue at all.-
That is a practical way to shoo the mosquito. Of course when we are aware that they are here and we do something to eliminate them, it will always be a good move. But if we do nothing and just let the mosquito roam around our home, then our children will be in vulnerable situation. Its better to act now than act later.

We went through, and go through, various epidemics which are kept off the front page due to lack of a blood test.
When I got Chik-V they didn’t do a blood test, they didn’t tell me to come in, they announced.. there is no cure. Use paracetamin.
Thousands upon thousands got it and some died.
We got Zika late last year and again, no blood tests. I had it. My doctor smiled, gave me paracetamin. That’s it.
A lot of preg. women have it and will be giving birth to sick babies.
-
that is really disappointing the modern medicine got no cure for this viruses from mosquito, and yes all they advice is for us to take some paracetamol. So, people in village just becoming scientist now by trying the wild shrubs. I think some get a nice try because they believe a kind of shrub said to cure dengue. But then again, the medical society said we should not take that extract because it might cause some danger to us. But people are helpless and they tried it and said it works for them.

-
The place where mosquitoes thrive is stagnant water. Even a small bottle is enough for them to thrive. Water in flower vases for example could be a good source. Water needs to be replaced from time to time.
-
That is true and its good we change them. I learned that while its true the water are their nest but when they are pour in the soil, for example, the egg do not die or damaged, instead it stays good up to six months. So, during summer, mosquito might disappear, but when rainy season come, the eggs hatched and the mosquito are here again (sigh, the sad truth why mosquito are still here)
-
-
Seems to me that illegal drugs are easier to eliminate than mosquito. Look, its been years now and still the mosquito continue to infect us dengue, chikungunya and now zika. No cure for this virus and all the doctor can say is to have stronger immune system and take a lots of fruits and also paracetamol.

Mosquito is a problem in every society because it creates many mysterious diseases among man and women and children and many of them die due to mosquito stinging anon. In this matter the government can do nothing because we cannot kill any mosquito from the whole country.
Masquito causes theses Diseases as transmitted by mosquitoes include: malaria, dengue, West Nile virus, chikungunya, yellow fever, filariasis, Japanese encephalitis, Saint Louis encephalitis, Western equine encephalitis, Eastern equine encephalitis, Venezuelan equine encephalitis, La Crosse encephalitis and Zika fever.
Mosquitoes cause more human suffering than any other organism — over one million people worldwide die from mosquito-borne diseases every year. Not only can mosquitoes carry diseases that afflict humans, they also transmit several diseases and parasites that dogs and horses are very susceptible to. These include dog heartworm, West Nile virus (WNV) and Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE). In addition, mosquito bites can cause severe skin irritation through an allergic reaction to the mosquito’s saliva –
this is what causes the red bump and itching. Mosquito vectored diseases include protozoan diseases, i.e., malaria, filarial diseases such as dog heartworm, and viruses such as dengue, encephalitis and yellow fever. CDC Travelers’ Health provides information on travel to destinations where human-borne diseases might be a problem.

So these are the places not to miss by a traveler. what are the historical places in and around the Philippines? I am very much interested to see the Historic places in any place, of course, the Beaches will always be my first preferences. I generally, take a dig to the Forts and other Ancient structure and capture their secrets in my phone (nowadays only) or in my Digital camera (my life).
The places interest me very much to a high degree. Once I was coming from Anantapur (a district about 400 km from the city). On the way I came across Gooty. This is a tourist place and there is an old Fort known by the name The FORT GOOTY. So I reauested the Bus conductor to permit me to get down to see the place. He could only gaze at me perhaps saying for himself what was wrong with this man. I got down spent the whole night in the lodge after visiting the Fort and the next day I got into my Bus to the City. Try to give some information on my favorite topic and also on the Beaches.
-
I would love to explore the Philippines. Mainly because I want hit up every restaurant on the map. Heard that authentic Filipino food is amazing! When I watch those TV shows where the person gets to travel and their job is to eat the local food, I’m thinking: “Wish I had their job!” 🙂 Of course I’d love to visit the country’s historical sites, beaches, and other fun and interesting places as well. One thing I always do no matter where I travel is try to find a place to worship, so I can meet new brothers and sisters in the faith. 🙂
-
Christian. Like the folks who were converted that you can read about in Books of Acts. (Acts 11:26) That’s the quickest answer that can be typed into a Comments box. A discussion about my faith would take much much much much much much longer. But thanks for asking. :)+++

Yes, There are many places that some of us want to visit again and again in life because they are so beautiful that fascinate human hearts. Here I am, back in Mexico, having decided to visit Playa del Carmen again, a town I’ve been to many times before.
And I’m thoroughly enjoying my stay right now, even more than previous visits. Now one might think this would be the result of spending time at all of my favorite places in town, eating at my favorite eateries, hanging out on my favorite stretch of white sand beach, going for a swim each evening at the very same spot I used to go for a sunset swim and taking day trips to the very same locations I’ve been to, and loved, before.
Yes, I’ve eaten at Dona Mary’s local tostada cafe on Avenida 30, my absolute favorite eatery here, and I’ve already gone to the same nearby street stall for some agua de guanabana, which I used to do almost every day when I lived here, and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t hang out at my favorite cafe in the center of town or swim at my favorite part of the beach, just as I did before.
But what I’ve realized this time around is, in between those meals and those hang out sessions and those swims, I’ve ventured off into new neighborhoods, eaten at new eateries, explored new stretches of beach and searched for completely new experiences.

Yes. Pumpkins are having a lot of medicinal properties. They are all rich in minerals and some vitamins. They are rich in Zinc which is useful for a glowing skin. It is for this purpose nowadays people are using it as a facial mask. This has got the element gold in a very small quantity which is very useful for the overall health of human being.
This has got rich religious value. In Hinduism, it is gifted to a Brahim priest during the 1st day of the Telugu New Year SANKRANTI (the starting day). Actually, on that day the Brahim should be given Gold as Dakshina. As an alternative, one can give PUMPKIN . As everybody can not afford gold to give as Dakshina.
Accepting the gold is not very easy for a Brahmin priest. After a gold is received as gift or Dakshina he should go home , perform prayer, wearing wet cloth he should take his head bath and again perform prayer as a remedy of accepting such Dakshina. He will do the same procedure after taking the Pumpkins to his house.
it is used highly in the kitchen. We prepare curry with pumpkin which will be rich in taste.We generally eat it as it is instead of taking it along with food. We prepare HALWA with pumpkin which is a sweet dish. We clean the seeds and dry them up in the Sun. Whenever we find time, we take them out remove the husk over the seeds and take the inside portion which will be very tasty. This is used and mixed in almost all sweet of India.

Pumpkin is packed with essential nutrients that are necessary for the body. I feel so bad when pumpkins are wasted in Halloween. After the festival, the pumpkins are not re-used and disposal becomes a problem.
While it is not bad to be used in the festival, I would suggest proper measures to be taken to re-use the pumpkins. Many are the nutrients that are laid to waste. Pumpkin is my favorite meal. The cakes are very tasty but I enjoy it boiled. I also enjoy munching the seeds. I enjoy the nutrients.
I used to make body mask manually and I used to get money from it. Am planning to grow a plantation of pumpkins.
-
-
I used to grate raw pumpkin, mix it with some flour and make pumpkin bread. It is really good to be mixed with flour and baked.
-
Such bread is what I would like to taste. I would like the recipe. I love tasting new food like these. Your family must be enjoying your meals.
I tried to make pumokin cakes with no success. Do you also know where I can get the recipe. I understand there are some online. Which site has such?

Pumpkins are very useful for human health because Pumpkin fruit is one of the widely grown vegetables incredibly rich in vital antioxidants, and vitamins. Though this humble backyard vegetable is less in calories, nonetheless, it carries vitamin A, and flavonoid poly-phenolic antioxidants such as lutein, xanthin, and carotenes in abundance.
Pumpkin is a fast-growing vine that creeps along the surface in a similar fashion like that of other Cucurbitaceae family vegetables and fruits such as cucumber, squash, cantaloupes…etc. It is one of the most popular field crops cultivated around the world, including in the USA at commercial scale for its fruit, and seeds.
Pumpkin seeds indeed are an excellent source of dietary fiber and mono-unsaturated fatty acids, which are good for heart health. In addition, the seeds are concentrated sources of protein, minerals and health-benefiting vitamins.

With regards to my level here, I am newbie, no doubt about it. But with regards in life, I am no beginner now. My age just show it that I am no newbie anymore. Experienced is what I live in my younger years and putting it in my life now.
But maybe, we are all newbie here. Many things we have not yet explored. Maybe when the truth reveal to us, that will be the time we are considered to be ‘experienced’ and not just ‘oldie’.
-
Everybody who comes and registers himself with the is a newbie. He should read, write ,make friendship with others, exchange ideas, and explore the site thoroughly first for himself. Till such time he will be considered as a newbie only.
Some people by virtue of their rich experience with the other sites and having seen so many varieties of designs and going through many WordPress patterns may quickly understand the site in exploring the things. Still, he is a newbie only. On the internet, there is no such things as experienced and inexperienced. It is only how you are interacting and how much time you are spending your time over the site. Mere staying over the site for the whole day without any contribution will not dub him as experienced.
So what is the criteria to be followed in conferring a title like POPULAR in a site?.
It depends on the Admin most of the times. But, in genral the number of posts one has contributed to the site and the quality and quantity of the post.
-
It is right when person joins a new site he becomes newbie on the site and he needs others at every step but on LB kind and cordial people are present who the newbie how to use the site is a good thing and I think it is a good idea to guide others at every step.
Those who know already something is the blessing of God because knowledge for man is a gift of God. When someone shares his knowledge God and angels welcome the person and become happy looking someone teaching something means he is spreading light in the world of gloom will lead this step to heaven.
Those who know about the secrets of LB how to earn fast must share to the newbie so that he or she could increase earning.
-
I still think of myself as a newbie due to the time i have been on the site. I am still trying to get around and see if i find some people to chat with on forums but this is more difficult here.
A newbie is supposed to be a new person to a certainthing that has no knowledge of what he or she is supposed to do and the time that they have been doing it also.
Once you have some experience in whatever you were a newbie at then you lose the title. At least that is how is see it.

We owe our teachers a great deal. They are usually overworked and underpaid. We should always teach our children to be courteous towards their teachers. However the school administration should keep a vigilant eye on teachers and not allow them to be cruel or hit the children. Physical punishments must be against school policy everywhere in the world.
-
YAY! YAY! Don’t know if any teachers can hear me. Don’t know if my teachers who taught me can hear me. But I want them to know I will be grateful to them forever! Their positive influence is ever present. Happy Teachers Day!!
-
Teachers are people should accorded all the respect that they need in this world. Without teachers most of us would not be here today. They are very important in our lives and in th3 lives of he growing children in the society.I for one respect all the techers who took the time to sit down with me and take me through my lessons each day, I never take advantage of my teachers at all they are the reason I am who I am today. Not to say that my parents had nothing to do with me that had the first hand then teachers also chipped in. Many may say that sometimes they are too severe or too harsh on Thu kids, but the truth is without this kid’s would be unruly towards their elders this making them immoral. So for this I would like to say thank you teachers and happy teachers day to you all.

This is really very sad to read. For many relationships don’t work. yet, here you have a situation where people do not get along, separate, but are still married, so can’t marry anyone else. They can’t live with another person for that would, in a Xian country, create a problem.
In Ja most people don’t marry.
This is the first time I am hearing that a country does not have a law to stand for the divorce issues.this is a first and it would be a good thing to have that and also have people also work towards it and make it work. But I’m today’s world people are finding it hard to keep a marriage going for different kinds of reasons. Anyway I hope that that law can be passed so that people who are married and are not happy can have the option to walk out and avoid further problems in their marriages. Divorce can be very expensive but if the couple decide once and for all that they actually don’t want to be together anymore that will make the divorce procedures easier.
I would hate to be in a country where divorce is not allowed. Not all relationships last for whatever reason. My marriage didn’t last because my ex-husband was an adulterer. So he left and filed for divorce. He has tried to make my life a living hell since then. He has tried to take my children away from me by alienating them from me. He has accused me of being on drugs. I took a drug test that came back negative.
I really don’t want to get married anymore because of my first marriage. I rather just stay single until I die.
You did a good thing by not preferring a remarriage. It will be another headache to you as well as to the other. Your case is different.
But in most of the marriages what actually happening is that the Children are not being taught the social values. The parents are not taking proper care of their children.They will be observing how their parents are moving with each other. So once the parents behave properly with due respect to each other the Children will come to know how they should be in a society. Otherwise, they become drunkards, gamblers, drug addicts, and the final step will be terrorists. All parents should arrange for a meeting, they should discuss their problem and try to find a solution whenever it is needed. The social interaction plays a vital role. Besides, all this it is important that a wife should respect her husband and the husband respect and honor the feelings of his wife.
I remember in our first to 2nd of our marriage we had to fight against trivial misunderstand brought by our pride, jealousy, and influence by in-laws, friends, and others. I found very difficult to cope with for I was married at the age of 21. To admit it, I wasn’t yet ready to have a family of my own but due to uncontrollable feelings I have to marry the girl. Well, in that age which seems to be needed a close supervision from my parents for I am the youngest, could I tackle to leave the girl?
I am at a loss for I love the girl. I have to overcome the trial of that marriage. With a proper guidance from my concerned parents and a constant communication between my wife and me, I was able to survive that impending broken marriage and became victorious. Now to tell you, we are in our 44 married life. The main solution, I would happily share, is coming in contact with God. Jesus Christ became our inspiration. My old sinful ways were forsaken. My wife and I always go to Church. When we have our children, now they’re six, we go to Church together as a family. If I am going to be asked, if I am to divorce my wife, I would reply it with big NO. For I know family is important.
Though marriage is meant to last forever-till death separate the couple however, there are circumstances that may warrant separation of the couple and this must not be overlooked. At the inception of the marriage both parties must have the intention to live together forever- that is the moral thing to do in every sane society. However, if the marriage seems unrealistic and unmanageable then it is important both parties part ways to avoid unforeseen circumstances. If the both parties demonstrate act of conspicuous incompatibility then no point for them to live together anymore and divorce is inevitable.
It is sad that there are no laws with regards to divorce but i think some how the people have to able to manage the situation by separating illegally. Ok i am not ok with this relationship you are not, lets go our separate ways.The authorities doesn’t know about it and each person goes their way and do what they want.
I hope divorce will be legalized in the Philippines. There are many married people no longer have the feeling of love to their partner.It should be better to evaluate first before marriage if the person you marry is truly your real partner willing to sacrifice for you and your love.This time many are easily tempted. Many husbands or wives weak to resist temptation.Too bad, better have the legal divorce. I am for Divorce.
When they are unable to have control over their temptation where is the need for a marriage? They are unable to give a continuity to the temptation throughout their life. There is no meaning to go for a marriage at all. Let them roam in a jungle once in a month and satisfy their temptations.
Why one should marry and after that seek for divorce. Is marriage so important?. Are dogs, and buffalos not living happily. Are the marrying?No. Then it is only human being who gives importance to marriage, children, tradition, customs, and God?
Why can’t we move freely in the forest and have sexual satisfaction as per our choice? Why can’t we enjoy life? When we are unable to understand the value of a marriage and the parents close their eyes blindly to the happening in the society and do not bring their children up then what these traditions,marriage, and customs are meant for. If a marriage breaks it is the parents (90%) are responsible for this. They are becoming selfish. They want their children to earn and eat away their money happily.
They use lipsticks, wear beautiful dresses, go for gym, time and again go for shopping. When they perform marriage and send their daughter to someone’s house who can and where can they have money for their expenses.? The moment the marriage over they start realizing their mistake. They slowly start poisoning the minds of their daughter and finally succeed in separating the couple. This is exactly what is happening with the parents. Better they do not perform their daughter’s marriage. There is no need for any divorce.
Let their sons roam in the forest and have sexual satisfaction like animals. Who will question them? No one and Nobody. It is your body and it is your effort to nourish it or perish it.
For me, divorce should not be legalized or even the same sex marriage its very abomination in the eyes of God. Always remember that the Law of God is far more supreme than the Law of Men. Why there are many broken families in every part of the world? Just because of lust. They don’t actually love each other. For they only love their self without concerning the others. If what you feel towards someone is called true love you would stick to your so called significant other until the very end no matter what trials that will come your way. First and foremost, if you really want to find true love which is everlasting pray with all your heart and ask the Blessed Virgin Mary to be your guiding star to search for someone that was intended for you alone and you’ll see with constant prayers i know God in his time will hear your prayers. A prayers that comes from the heart. We should understand that a relationship without God in the center of it will ruin easily. But a relationship close to God will stand over the long run. Anyone united in the matrimony of marriage cannot be separated by men for they are one forever.
