Unschooling, Homeschooling, Classroom: Choose the Method that Meets the Needs of the Child - Blog Entry

22 Jun 2008 05:26 PM

I think it's also important to ask your child what environment is comfortable with her. As a child I often wished my mom would rather enroll me in an art school instead (also with general subjects like english and so). It is right that in every individual different kinds of methods works for them and not all kids have the same wants and degree in a certain subject. :)

So when my son reaches four. I will ask him what he'd like to do without forcing him. I think this is best. Ask first what your child is comfy with and of course, let her learn and grow on her own.

Getting Ready to Shoot the Fourth - Blog Entry

20 Jun 2008 04:46 AM

I always hear great stories from friends and relatives from the US about 4th of July. I especially would love to see fireworks in the sky. Most of what we have here (if it's on a new year's day are mostly firecrackers that scares the sh*t out of me---sorry for the word). I would like to celebrate an occasion without the need to play with this scary firecrackers.

Sorry for rambling lol. ^__^ Have a nice barbeque or picnic on the fourth of July!

Make Special Time to be with Teens - Blog Entry

19 Jun 2008 01:41 PM

Teens do tend to be left alone. But you really don't know what's going on in their head anyway. Every now and then it's good to be hanging out with them in a manner that you think is comfy with them.

I always have fun with my mom when it means going to the parlor to get our hair done or have a pedicure. Also eating out is cool. :) Once in a while we do this. She really doesn't pry too much into my world as she knows I'd probably not tell her. But I love it that she trusts me. Trust is very important in a family.

Now that I am a Mom. I think it'll me rather different, as I see myself more allowing to my child. :)

Typical High School Course of Study: Electives - Blog Entry

18 Jun 2008 03:46 PM

I wish I had this opportunity laid upon me when I was highschool. Electives are pretty helpful when it comes to helping a student decide what he really wants to do in College. Also, having taken electives also helps you do things alone later in life.

More Styles of Love - Blog Entry

18 Jun 2008 02:44 PM

I guess that the way love is defined depends on every individual. :) It doesn't only means you feel it. It is the whole idea of unconditionally loving everything that you have; wherever you are and whenever you are. Now, when I say I love you. I make sure that I also love myself. Loving is also giving a whole part of you. :)

Trust Issues in Your Home Business-Part One - Blog Entry

18 Jun 2008 12:49 PM

Hi, I hope you don't mind if I share my view on this. :)

I think, the vibes that you put out; how you project yourself is felt by people too. It's their gut feeling that tells them that it feels like she's like this or that. I guess the best way to deal with people is to stay positive all the time and really feel positive. This is very good because you shine it out from you.

I have done this before. I used to be wary of people. I used to wear a mask to protect myself. I had a lot of things going on me and I just notice that people act exactly the same way as I do.

The key is to stay positive. Do the things you love. When something goes wrong, don't dwell in it. Lesson learned but I will not let myself get burned by it.

I always keep in mind to relax and trust that everything is well. And it is. :)

I hope things are going well with you. You're doing great.

All the best, Yvie

My Personal Scrap Space - Analyzing the Problem - Blog Entry

18 Jun 2008 11:53 AM

I've also have this problem most of the time. It seems that we don't know where we're gonna put our stuff. We are thinking where to put it; in the closet maybe? It also needs some cleaning to do.

There's a lot of things going on here. lol. Papers, cds, toys (from my son). Good thing we finally put up our own space---at least that made things a little organized now. Well, we just need to get those plastic boxes to put some clutter away.

De-cluttering with Young Children - Blog Entry

18 Jun 2008 11:46 AM

I know, it's crazy. :) Whenever my son plays around with his toys and clutter it everywhere, I just leave it as that till he's exhausted with them---and yes, it's best to declutter when he's taking a nap. For now, I just have to ride with him on this. He's just 19 months, he's learning a thing or two on fixing his own toys without asking me to. That's one of the things that I like about him.

P.S. I read your profile again and I am curious about your 16 pound Cat! :D And oh, I am also intrigued, why is your goldfish nervous?

Can a Baby Save Your Marriage? - Blog Entry

17 Jun 2008 03:02 PM

Decisions and decisions. I think it's all about choosing where you really want to be. As much as the baby changes the views of the parents. It's still the parents' willingness to choose whether they would stay together or not. So it doesn't matter whether you're married or not. What matters is the responsibility you'd take for yourself and for the baby.

And also, I think the woman should also be honest about wanting to get pregnant but not considering marriage as an option. I mean, what can you do if the person chooses to be not married? That makes her happy. :) So happiness depends on every individual. Being happy doesn't mean that you're happy when you have a mate. Being happy should start with ourselves first.
