Love makes everything possible. This is the tagline from the movie, The Other Woman, starring Natalie Portman, Lisa Kudrow and Seth Cohen. The story was about how a death could change the relationship between people and their coping mechanisms. It was especially hard for the mother who had to bear the guilt of killing her own child, or so she thinks. Since she kept it to herself, no one was able to tell her that the baby died of natural causes and not because of her smothering the baby. She was having a difficulty of handling her stepson since they have a rocky relationship. So she did not believe him when he said he had lactose intolerance thinking that he was just being difficult. Bottom line is, he ate ice … Read entire article »

Recently, a relative of mine just graduated Nursing. Now she is currently reviewing for the Nursing Board Examinations. After four years of studying, countless sleepless nights and practice internships in hospitals, finally, she can breathe a sigh of relief, her parents as well. I think she deserves a gift for graduate like her and any gift would do as long as she is rewarded for all the efforts and hard work she has done just to complete and finish the course. I also heard they will be holding a thanksgiving party for the family. They all truly deserve a celebration, and even though my family and I are not with them, we rejoice in their victories. … Read entire article »

I remember playing a lot of physical and outdoor games during my childhood days. My playmates and I would play during our free time different kinds of games like hide and seek, high jump, Chinese garter and so many more. It was very fun and we all enjoyed all our playtimes. But now, things have changed, many children are no longer exposed to physical games but mostly on computer and online games. Other children would beg their parents to buy xbox games for them. The kids of today are different. Most of them are engaged in playing with computers and other gadgets. I do encourage my kids to do outdoor games. But I also don’t mind them playing indoors with computer and other gadgets. I think moderation is the keyword … Read entire article »

Went to a “Moon” party for our latest addition in the family on Sunday. “Moon Party” is mostly celebrated by Chinese people when their babies turn one month old or 30 days old. Friends and relatives would be invited. And so, last Sunday was our cousin’s baby’s 30th day. I planned on taking some baby portraits but when we reached the place, I realized my card was not inside the camera. I forgot to put it back in! It’s a good thing, though, because I enjoyed carrying the baby. Then I imagined. What if we’re going to have 3rd? Would I be excited? Dismayed? Of course, if we would, I’d be on the lookout for a Paper Culture baby shower invitations. But then again, it’s all in the will of God. Only … Read entire article »

ATVs or all terrain vehicles are perhaps one of the most innovative vehicles ever invented. From the name itself, it’s a motorized vehicle that is meant to be driven in all types of terrain. It is a small vehicle that can also be used in agriculture because of its speed and light footprint. It is usually called a “fun vehicle.” These ATVs also vary, some have three or four wheels, some even have six wheels to increase payload capacity. Some extra ATV Wheels are provided for stability and some six wheels are used for specialist applications. Riding one sounds interesting and if I’m given the chance, I might drive one, just to experience the thrill of it. … Read entire article »
