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.

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 .

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.

i have to say that all people love quite life, living in peace with not thinking about worries if you go out or visit countries, it is the best world nut not real world, unfortionately this is our world today and I guess its all about money and power, oh my God, just wish people accept their life

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.

Social media is not going to end. Some social media sites may end. But social media isn’t going anywhere unless the Internet comes to an end.

Very true, the priorities which were there around thirty years ago are have totally changed and parents have to look at the current scenario. And they have to allow and help the children by guiding the children to pursue the career of their choice. Because if one is doing a job which he or she does not like it would not be interesting to them and they will face burn out and lose interest in any job totally.

The tensions which children of today face are also different. Things have become more complex and they have to score the best to get a decent job otherwise they will neither be here nor there in life. The sad part one has to get a score of around more than 95 percent to be eligible for a proper job. Alongwith that they also have to be a Mr. Know all for the placement companies to hire them. As these companies want ready made people for their companies and would not want to waste time and money for training. A good article reflecting the sad truth of society in this age.
