If there’s a subject in school called “youthology“, all parents must have taken it to better understand the kind of youth we have today. They seem to be the hardest creatures to fathom here on earth. And I am not surprised anymore.

Personally, I am also having a hard time understanding my own kids even at their young ages. More so when they grow a little older. It will be very hard to penetrate in the world that they have created on their own. I just wish that when this time comes, they will not just ignore me. I am praying that they will still treat me as the most important person in their lives, just like the way I am feeling right now.

That’s why I am trying to spend most of my time with my two boys. I do not want to regret anything someday…

Does anyone here know an effective treatment for hemorrhoids? I have told previously in one of my posts that a gay friend of mine is suffering from this dilemma, and I really want to help him as he is having a hard time to move freely because of this. His actions are restricted because it gets really painful when he tries to move.

Please, please, please. My friend needs help. He already sought the advice of his physician, but he told me that he wants to try alternative medicines first.

My niece attended their Juniors’-Seniors’ Prom just last week. And I must say, she really looked stunning in her pink gown. My other niece jokingly said, “I need to find the best weight loss supplement so that gown will fit on me for my debut party!” Her mom must have felt really felt seeing that her daughter has grown into a very pretty, young lady. The whole family was so delighted when she bagged the title “Dance Empress” for the said occasion.

This made me reminisce a lot of good memories that I spent with my high school classmates. Honestly, I miss all of them. I just couldn’t find the right time to see all of them as they are all busy with their jobs. I hope time will still permit us to catch up for the lost times.

I told my niece to enjoy every single moment of their JS Prom. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime event, and there will never ever be a chance to happen again. And I saw the happiness in her eyes as she was dancing with her classmates.

I was surprised when my stepmom’s niece left a message for me on facebook asking me to be her son’s godmother on his baptism. Of course, I immediatelt said yes. I always remember what my mom told me that you should not really refuse when someone approach you for this.

It will happen next Sunday, and so I still have time to slim down a little by religiously taking my diet pills. Of course, I also want to look presentable on this day.

Additional baby on my long list of godchildren. I feel honored whenever someone trusts me to be a part of their children’s lives. It seems as if I have a lot of children of my own!

I will admit that there a lot of times when I catch myself being conquered by my insecurities about my looks. I hate a bunch of things about myself. I have read somewhere that those people who believe in the old adage that beauty is skin-deep are those who are not really confident about their physical appearance. This made me smirk a little. But life has taught me that there are far more important things to focus on other than what meets the eye.

As for me, I do not really count myself vain. Not that I am confident with myself, I just do not deem it necessary to look at myself at the mirror for so long. I just make it a point that I am presentable enough, and that’s it. Low maintenance, to cut it short. I am just afraid of getting pimples even if there are different brands of acne serums out there promising to solve every lady’s dilemma about acne. As much as possible, I try to avoid the things which can cause pimples.

My husband will be coming home from Abu Dhabi this coming May. And, needless to say, we are all very excited about his upcoming vacation! The kids and I are really missing him so much, and we cannot wait to be with him again. I guess, he feels the same way. He told me that since his leave was finally approved by the HR manager, he could not sleep well.

He asked me what I want him to bring home for me. Well, as of now, I still could not think of any. He told me that he will be buying KVM switches for our tv set here at home. I asked him first how much will that cost. But since he told me that it is not that expensive, I gave him the go signal.

For me, what really matters is that we will have the chance to spend time with each other again. Whenever they chat, I can see in the kids how much they are missing their Dade. My younger even kisses the screen whenever he sees Dade.

El Nino is here! It’s all over the news! Sadly, not everyone will realize the need to save water even if they are fully aware of the crisis that we all are facing.

I am trying my best to do my part. I am consciously doing some measures to save precious water. I had all the leaks in the faucets repaired. I also taught our household help how to re-use the water they are using for the laundry.

For my kids’ health, I am planning to buy this ukf8001axx water filter just to be sure that they are really drinking clean water.

It is really so hard to face a water crisis. Everything is greatly affected, especially the poor farmers. I hope things will get better soon for all of us.

My gay friend confessed to me that he was having a hemorrhoid problem. At first, I was completely clueless. When I got home, I immediately searched for it. I also wanted to help my friend because his condition is greatly affecting his everyday life. He told me that he cannot work well because he finds it hard to move freely. I saw this natural cure for hemorrhoids and recommended it to him. But I do not guarantee that it will be totally cured since I was not able to use it myself.

Who knows, this might be the answer to his problems?

I just advised him to take better care of himself. He must love his body because it is God’s gift, and he can pay back by nurturing it.

We have brought a lot of the kids’ toys from Bahrain. But lately, I notice that they do not enjoy playing with them. That is why I do not put the batteries anymore. They want to spend their time playing with the kids in the neighborhood. They even want to borrow the neighbors’ toys, but they do not pay attention to their own toys.

I guess this is a good sign. I can see the improvements in their social skills. I was worried then because my kids are so timid. Since they grew up in a foreign country, the interaction with kids their age was very limited.

But now, thet are having a great time playing and learning with other kids!

One morning, I heard some neighbors talking out loud in front of our house. So I went out to know what the commotion was all about. And they told me that one of neighbors was victimized by some robbers who sneaked into their house last night. Her husband wanted to fight back, because it was hard for him to see all his hard-earned money and stuff being taken just like that. But since the robbers were armed by guns, he decided not to retaliate anymore because their lives were at risk.

The news reached my husband, and so he called me up immediately and asked me ensure the home security systems inside the house. He asked me to look for some gadgets for added security.

I also got worried. Being a parent, I always want my kids to be safe. I need to protect them more since my husband is not here to do that for us. I can only depend on myself.
