Senior Independent Assistance

Parents are very special to us, without them we cannot see the beauty of the world. Without out them we are nothing and we owe all of this wealth and the life we are enjoying now through our parents. That’s why if they are already old enough and we don’t have a time for them to care in return we will find ways and means just to let our seniors live comfortably and have a good life they deserve.

There are many states nowadays that offer their good hand for our seniors and that’s what we called as the assisted living communities for them to care and give a good assistance. When we think of senior independent living we have many questions that hinders in our minds because we want the best living for our love ones. My questions are, if they have a good shelter, complete facilities, have people who will take care of them and if this company is legal to serve and care for our love ones.

We all believe that some of our seniors want to stay separately from their nearest kin, they want to be independent that’s why we are looking for the best that serves them in a harmonious way of living even if we will pay for a reasonable price agreement. If we have seniors at home and we don’t have enough time for them to take care, we better set them in a place where they will enjoy and have fun for their remaining days in this beautiful and yet sometimes crazy world. This is one good way of helping our seniors to give a happy life ahead as long as we are comfortable that they have good assisted living facilities for our parents and seniors who want to stay independently.

For those who are looking for a place for our seniors, here you’ll find the Internet’s only complete listing of ALL Assisted Living Facilities (ALF’s), including alzheimer’s care, skilled nursing care (nursing homes), senior care, continued care (CCRC), in-home and hospice care, and even senior apartments and senior independent living. They don’t limit there list to only the communities that pay to them, as many such services do. So, don’t think twice give your love ones the life they deserve and the good independent living they desire.

How to Become Real Parents

Today, we are living in the world of high technology, wherever we go computers, cell phones are around us which makes our lives go easy not like before and we are influenced by modernization. If we take a look at the situation of today, there are many broken families that are suffering their lives. Are all of these families are safe from the control of prohibited drugs, sex or pornography? Can the church combat, on its own, the evils that lurk in our society? Unless we are parent in the real sense of the world, our sons and daughters will yield to all of these temptations.

In our day today living, we the parents should be patient, devoted, hard working and responsible to our children and to our family as well. Gone were the days that we are strict parent guaranteed an obedient child? The trend now for us parents is to learn how to raise our children in this modern world, without controlling the creativity or curiosity of our children.

We must be a good example to our children. Our children will notice the discrepancy between what we say and what we do. We must show to them that we respect our husband and wife so that we will be respected also by our children. If we do not want our child to smoke and we are smokers better try to quit smoking right away. Do not be the preacher who does not do what he says.

When we get married we are not working only for our selves or for our spouse, we are doing our job also to our children. It is not enough that we shower them material things; they need our love and understanding also. Give them what they need, but we need not to spoil them. Discipline also is very important. It is not enough to whip or spank them whenever they commit mistakes. The bottom line in discipline is getting our message across to them. We will tell them why we don’t want them to do those silly things. Our children should understand why it is not proper to misbehave, little by little our message to them will be stored in their minds and we can notice that there are changes in their daily attitudes.

As parents it is important also that we must be patient with them, because children are inquisitive; they are full of questions to ask. Also they are very active, if we have a short temper we should not be married because patience is the key to a happy and intelligent child. If we have enough budgets we better provide them a home where they can find happiness and contentment. There is a song which goes like this, “A house is not a home” meaning it is not only a place where we are protected from the extreme heat of the sun or heavy downpour of the rain. A home is where we sleep, eat and rest and where happiness and contentment dwell also it is our place of refuge when we have problems and a place where whole family stay together happily and harmoniously.

With our children sometimes communication gaps can’t be avoided, but we need to avoid it if we will keep an open line. If possible we need not to monopolize the discussion, give them a chance to talk so that we have a good communication with each other and we can open up what we both want to say and to express our ideas and emotions. One thing more we must be faithfully interested in our children’s undertaking and be generous with our support for them. If they have accomplishments, even if it simple it should be appreciated by us, in that way they are also inspired. We must help them wherever they need us.

Even though we are very busy with our everyday life, we should find time to be wit them. Make our child rearing a happy activity on our part, if possible we must engage worthwhile activities together with our children so make bonding also even for a short time.

Being real parents to our children is the most challenging and rewarding task that we can engage in, By using our common sense and adopting our rule being parents we can be sure that we are parents in the real sense of the world.

Everyday is a Blessings

Everyday is a new day,
A chance to pause and say
Lord, thank you once more
For a day so bright and beautiful

Thank you Lord for the bright sunshine,
The air we breathe,
Nature green and lush growth
Water that keep flowing,
Mountains and hills that guard us

Tank you Lord for not getting us go hungry
The good health and peace of mind
The beautiful senses and beautiful feelings

Thank you Lord for creating beautiful people
For a strong family, wholesome workplace, loyal friends
And above all
Thank you Lord for being there…
All the time…
Every time

This picture was taken by me during our vacation in our province and it’s nice to see the green forest around us. It is relaxing in our eyes and perfect place to unwind from the city. I really love vising my home place  often times if we have only time but we are living in the city and the life is so busy and we can visit only our place during no school and  vacation time with my  kids.

Our province has abundant of a coconut product, and it is one way of there source of income to survive for a living. Both my parents are staying in the province and no kids with them, and these is the common situation to every family that even though they have lots of children, but then time will come that we have already own family and of course we will settle also for our own family and parents are staying again like a newly wed.

So, during our stay in my parents house where we take our vacation we really enjoyed the place especially my kids for we all know that in the province we can enjoy fresh fruits, vegetables and keep the most fresh fish that is what we always wanted to eat. We also let some to get a young coconut for us to eat and it is really fresh and delicious that we cannot eat in the city, and all of these are free for we have plenty of coconut tree that is owned by my parents. So, i really thank God for giving us the chance to visit to our place and enjoy all the things around us and at the same time we had a chance to visit my parents.

First Day of 2010 School Year

My kids are very much excited on their first day of school. Today my 2 kids are now already on the graders and they are now starting their whole year of struggle in school. I can’t imagine that my kids are already big enough because for me they are still my babies but it came up to my mind lately that they are growing and no more babies beside me most of the time. Last year I cannot felt this way because my younger baby is still on his pre-school level and only half day of classes, but now they are already whole day in school and I don’t have companion with me in my cute house for the whole day since my hubby is working away from home. Maybe I need some adjustments for myself and devote my other time in spending my work online and other important things to be settled.

Being a mom is an enjoyable one, but there are times that our children are very naughty especially boys that they keep on fighting sometimes but for them it is only their way of game but sometimes they hurt each other which is not good to happen, and me as the mother have a headache sometimes on keep them telling what is good and what is bad that they need not to do again.

Early this morning I send them in school and happy they are that they are back to school again after a month of vacation. At first I find their names in the white board where there listing of names on what grades and sections they are, and the rooms they are assigned. I send them all to their respective classrooms and while watching them setting on their chair I am also happy for them for this is the start of their future life ahead.

Education is very important to each and everyone of us, that’s why on their younger age it is a must that they will be send to school and if possible a school that has a good academic training so that they have a good foundation towards their future, because I do believe that if we have a good foundation in our studies we can be what we want in our lives. It is just like a building that has a good foundation; it will not easily be fall down whatever typhoons or earthquake may occur. So, for us parents we must choose a good school with a good training towards our kids so that they will have a better foundation in their future lives.

The Fun of Being a Mother

No one compares if we become a mother, that’s why during vacation time of my kids we consume our time bonding with each other in spite of the absence of their father who is working away from home just to uplift our living. My kids are my world; I give all my love and care for them because since I get married I focused my attention to my family. It is a vital fact that mothers should be the one to hands-on our children especially if the father is away, I don’t agree that nanny’s should take care of my children because I don’t want that time will come that the love of the children will divert to the nanny.

Mothers care are very much different to nanny, the attitude of our kids if we will entrust to maids are not quite good as what my observations to many kids that their parents are very busy working and children are always in the hand of the nanny’s. We the parents has a big rule towards the growing up of our children, even if we busy schedules for the whole day still we have time for them so that they will grow up with the guidance and affections of their parents.

My kids are now on the graders and our bonding time is often playing especially now that it is a summer and kids are free from school activities. I really enjoy them especially they are all boys and sometimes a headache because I cannot control them for having fight sometimes, but it is normal for them as kids and I understand them. So, for me being a other is fun and an enjoyable one.

Summer Vacation of My Kids

Now that the school was already done and they have nothing to do in the house except to play computer and other electronics games that makes their eyes tired and over expose to radiation. Early this morning after I attend the Sunday mass I go to the mall just to buy something or a game that is a diversion in exposing their eyes to a radiation. I bought a Bingo cards with tiles so that they will enjoy staying at home, playing and not expose to radiation. When I arrived home my kids are very happy that they can play Bingo at home instead of going to their grandparents’ house and have a Bingo game in their neighbors place, I join them and I’ve notice that they are good players than me, they are used in playing that game because their Grandmother has also a Bingo cards in their house. This is a great game that my kids love especially now that they have nothing to do except to play and read books. At least no radiation involves.

This is a great diversion that I made for this day, at least they have another game in the house not only computers and other electronic games that they always play almost everyday. But, after this week maybe we will move on to our province to have some vacation and I am sure they enjoy swimming on the sea and eat fresh fruits and vegetables, fresh fish and everything fresh because we will stay in the province for almost a month. I know we will enjoy our summer vacation.

Simple Tips on How to Change for the Better

Summer vacation is already here to celebrate. But did we try to evaluate our selves for a preparation for this summer? Do we need some changes in our lives or our career? How do we feel now? Are we feeling okay or is there something that we need to change for ourselves but yet we don’t know how.

If we are feeling stale or stuck in a rut, you know we need something different but the question is we are not sure what and it is not easy to decide and I have here simple tips that can help us to change our lives for a better.

At first, we need to ask our selves what we really want. Do we want a slower -paced life, a more satisfying career path or a new environment to in order to make our eyes refresh. To answer these questions, we will try to brainstorm our selves and weigh the pros and cons without holding back. The best change starts with an honest version of what we really want to be.

We must know also the obstacles in our way. Make a detailed list of what is standing in our way then address the. In this kind of process, if we are honest enough we should be able to know which of these stumbling blocks are of our own making. We will set a short example, we would like to go back to school and our post graduate degree if we are teachers, but anyway this is only an example but we keep on postponing it by reasoning that we don’t have a time and our children are all important. Besides the tuition fee is high instead of assaying NO. Why think of “what if” Like what if our husband or our sister will agree to take care of the children while we are studying? All of these hanging questions will depend on us to explore the possibilities and see our life in a fresh light.

Another tip is we must look for fast and easy way to fulfill our needs. Of course there are some changes we want that are impossible. In that case we need to make some alternation in order to make things possible.

Finally we need to take all the time we need. Do not rush to decisions because those people who are most contended and happy with their decisions are those who took a thoughtful and non hurried approach to the process. They control and make a conscious and rational choice. In the end that is what empowers most. So change for a better, Would you?

The Danger of Abortion

In our new generation today and in the world of materialism, pleasure-seeking and anti-life, abortion is no longer a sin but a right which is considered as one of the most controversial moral issues of our times and most notorious crime of every country particularly in my homeland Philippines because it disposes the sacred value of human life.

As all we knew, “abortion is a crime that kills not only the child but the conscience of all involve.” Meaning that allowing the practice of abortion in our lives and replacing God to rule and guide our life is a hellish activity because we all knew that God is the only one who has the right to restrain our life. God created us from nothing and killing conscience in our hearts means living in a culture death wherein we can do what we want live or in our body at the expense of destroying our lives.

We have all the rights with regards to our own body. But once conception occurs, our responsibility now extends in protecting the baby developing within us because if this will not done seriously and maturely, all sexual activities will be done casual sexual relationships and positively all abortion activities will be done freely without any reservation or restriction by moral values. The result will then be a time when some of our friends do not value human life.

In a materialistic point of view, a life seems to have no meaning especially when money of financial stability is involved and morality sometimes is out of context. Buy in our medical aspects the issue of the abortion is very dangerous. Why? Because besides killing the child, it can endanger also the mother’s health or the mother life that can result to illness like cervical cancer and internal bleeding which is not good to happen.

If we cannot comply the duties and responsibilities of a mother, especially in bearing a child why not try to use some of the birth controls in order to minimize this terrific way of aborting those pity babies in our wombs so that the sacred and value of our human life will be preserved.

Children’s Final Exam

At long last final test of my kids are done already and time to relax and set for a while. Having school kids is not an easy task to do as a mother for I myself hands on them in their daily school activities especially during tutoring time and sending them everyday back and forth to school and home.

Maybe after this week if they are already done with their school clearances I am already free in their school activities and summer vacation for me is my rest time. I prefer my kids also not to send summer class for them to enjoy their summer vacation and stay with their grandparents in our home province for they are used that during summer vacation they will spend it in the province. They really love to stay in their grandparents or in my home place for they are near on seashore and they love to enjoy swimming and have fun with their cousins and relatives. Expecting them to be tan and darker a little bit, but it’s okay as long as they enjoy their life being kids and relax their minds during summer vacation.

With the result of their final test I am happy with my kids and I am proud that I have kids who are talented and can be proud of. So for me summer time is a time to relax their minds and enjoy life being kids.

Setting Goals for Ourselves

In our everyday life most of us are always busy and some are not. But it is important that we must set a goal for ourselves, we may not reach it, but we will go a lot further in life than if we don’t know what we want to achieve. The theory of goal setting is very important with the effect of goals and target on our individual performance. Setting a goal is an approach to motivation that focuses on our intended outcomes in life rather than on our internal needs or motivational processes.

In my own observations that those who set goals for their selves achieved higher levels of output when we did than those who never tried to set goals. Generally speaking the more difficult a goal is, the higher the level of performance than can be expected. However, evidence suggests that this relationship does not hold true in all situations and it depends upon. Goals have been set at relatively high levels may fail to gain the acceptance or commitment necessary to bring about high levels of performance. In the level of performance also, I can say that levels of achievements motivate confidence, and self assurance have also been found to influence relationship between goal difficulty and performance.
