A new Home at Last

Hallo!

Long time no hear.


Last February 28, 2009 we finally transfered to our new home at the 2nd floor of my Father and Mothers house. Ely has managed to pay for the finishing and purchase of things to complete the 2nd flr.

We are now living in our own house.

What a day!

It's another busy day.

Life really is full of unexpected experiences. The owner of the house we are renting texted me that she will get the key on Sunday and that the carpenter will look at the damage of the floor in the 2nd level of the house.

Because we were forced to have our own house finished due to the tilting of the floor. the termites has eaten huge part of the wooden floor that's why. It's not anymore safe for us to stay.

I just said yes, she can have the key. Then I texted my husband to confirm if we we're going to move out on Saturday. His answer was, we have no electricity yet. I told him we could connect to my father's house in the 1st level, because ours is in the 2nd level.

So.... still I hoping to transfer this weekend.

I'm overly excited to sleep in our new room. Hay...

A New Home soon......

Hello,

Here I am very excited in coming to a new home this end of February.

I'm not just the one excited but my whole family. My kids specially Jannah my "aba aba" as in Taba is also very anxious to be in her new home.

Everyday we would inspect the improvement of each room, the comfort room is already complete but without running water yet.

The kitchen had hanging cabinets on and the bedrooms were already painted.

The only missing are the important things: Electricity and water. We hope this will be connected before the end of the week.

House warming is tentatively scheduled on April 2009, maybe celebrated in time of EJ and Jannahs bday.

Coming home to a new house will be a new experience for us. After 12 years of living in a rented houses, 5 houses actually.

Finally, we are having our own house. Thank you Lord.

Dyslexia and Reading

Hi,
As what I've shared in my previous posts, my little has difficulty of reading, so I 've research on the techniques on teaching a child how to read. I hope this would be of help to you also.

Here it is.

Dyslexia and Reading

Teaching the dyslexic child to read takes a serious amount of time and may be best described as “trial-and-error”. It is something that must be coordinated between parents and educators to ensure the boy or girl gets the most solid, holistic reading experience. After all, when mothers and fathers can support what’s happening at school, the dyslexic child will have a much better chance of learning to read at an age-appropriate (or nearly age-appropriate) pace.
As with all children, parents can help their dyslexic sons and daughters by first observing how the dyslexia is “playing out” for the youngster. For instance, if letters are reversed but sounds are understood, phonics may be a satisfactory way to introduce reading to the child. On the other hand, if sounds are perplexing for the young person, the parent or teacher will need to find some other way to help the child create words out of letters, such as using a “whole language” method of learning to read.

In the end, if you’re at all concerned with a student’s reading comprehension and language acquisition, it’s important to seek out a professional diagnosis as soon as possible. From there, you can help that special youngster to explore the magic of his or her native tongue.

A special note to the loved ones of a dyslexic child: Unfortunately, the label of “dyslexic” comes with a negative connotation, especially among the dyslexic student’s peers. Therefore, it’s of critical importance that mums and dads consistently and genuinely encourage their tots to try again and again. Celebrate the small successes, and you’ll all reap large rewards.

Many parents ask the same question: "How early can my child learn to read?" Not surprisingly the answer isn't exactly cut and dry.

Reading isn't something that starts at a certain age. Some children can learn their ABCs by their first birthdays; others don't learn theirs until they are three or four. Like crawling walking, and tying a shoelace, being able to read is dependent upon the readiness of the boy or girl.

With that being said, all parents can start an interest in and love for reading in their offspring from the time the child is born. Research has shown that infants enjoy being introduced to books, even if they don't know or understand what's being read and shown to them.

Consequently, if you want to help your child become an early reader, you may want to take the following steps to at least ensure that he or she finds the act stimulating and interesting:

Have Books around the House

If your child sees plenty of books, magazines and other reading items around his or her house from the time he or she is born, the notion of reading will seem perfectly acceptable. When kids grow up around books, there's a better chance that they'll think of books as "friends".

Let Your Child See You Reading

Are you an avid reader? If not, it may be tough to convince your child that you believe reading is important. Fortunately, it's never too late for you to begin. Even if you just enjoy perusing cookbooks from beginning to end or perusing blogs on a daily basis, do it in front of your son or daughter so he or she can see how much you love to read.

Read to Your Child

Reading to your child promotes an interest in the process; it will also make your son or daughter feel that reading is a lovely, warm, enjoyable act. Pick a special time when distractions are at a minimum (such as before bed) and read a story or two aloud to your youngster. Afterwards, talk about the book and what "could" have happened, coming up with alternative endings for fun.

Make Reading Enjoyable and Exciting

Do you read to your child with expression and excitement? By infusing all the tales your child hears with enthusiasm, you'll make him or her think, "Hey! This is tons of fun! I wish I could read, too!"

Talk about Why You Like to Read

Periodically talk with your child about something you've read, perhaps in the newspaper or a magazine. That way, he or she can understand that being literate has an intrinsic value. Make sure to add, "When you learn to read, you'll be able to find out tons of information about subjects you love."

Write Books Together

Kids have a natural creative "bent", so why not use that to fuel a lifelong love of reading? Sit down together on a weekend afternoon and spend 30 minutes to an hour writing and illustrating a book composed by the two of you. Not only is this a great way to pass the time, it's also a terrific means of helping your child learn to read.

Get Reading Assistance Immediately if You Sense There's a Problem
If you start to suspect a problem in your child's language acquisition ability, make an appointment to see a specialist so you can rule out any learning disabilities or physical handicaps. By taking action immediately, you'll be making certain that you can appropriately help him or her to become literate.

Be Positive
Even though you might get frustrated by your child's temporary lack of interest in or inability to learn some aspect of reading, put on a happy face. Never berate your son, daughter or student for being "slow" or "lazy"; doing so will only make him or her less likely to want to continue. The more optimistic you are, the better the chances that he or she will read earlier rather than later

What is Dyslexia?

What is Dyslexia?


In a nutshell:
Very poor reading and spelling in a bright person with nothing else wrong.

In official detail:
Dyslexia is a severe reading problem of neurological origin in a person with average or above average intelligence, for whom there are no other physical, medical, or psychological conditions sufficiently serious to account for the language handling deficits.

In a nutshell:
Anybody can have it, and, yes, it often runs in families.

In detail:
Conservative estimates vary between 5 and 10 per cent of the population. No correlation has been found between the incidence of dyslexia and nationality, income, ethnicity, race, or IQ, and experts are even beginning to question whether it is more common among boys than girls. It has a genetic component.

What is Learning Disability ?

What is Learning Disability ?

A learning disability is not a problem with intelligence, often the individual's IQ falls within the normal range. The source of the difficulty is in the brain. Children and adults with a learning disorder have trouble processing sensory information which interferes in their daily activities at school and work. They see, hear and understand things differently. If left untreated, the challenges a learning disability creates can severely affect a child's school experience and self-esteem. However, treatment is available and can be successful even if the disability is identified in late childhood or adulthood. Scientists are currently studying the brain's potential for change which may hold the answer to innovative treatments for learning disabilities and may one day reduce the need for prescription medications.

A child with a learning disability cannot try harder, pay closer attention, or improve motivation on their own; they need help to learn how to do those things. A learning disability is caused by a problem in the nervous system that affects how information is received, processed or communicated. There are a variety of disorders that affect the way verbal and non-verbal information is acquired, understood, organized, remembered and expressed.

Types of learning disabilities

There are a variety of skills impacted by learning disabilities. They cover the gamut from language and reasoning to calculation and motor skills. Learning disorders cause havoc in a child’s life on a daily basis. If left untreated, the frustration and difficulties caused by the learning problems, both at home and in school, creates stress and hardship resulting in the child feeling bad about themselves.

Here is a list of the different types of learning disabilities frequently identified:

Language
• Reading Disorder
• Disorder of Written Expression
Calculation
• Mathematics Disorder
Problems with Motor Skills
• Developmental Coordination Disorder
Communication Disorders
• Expressive Language Disorder
• Mixed Receptive-Expressive Language Disorder
• Phonological Disorder
• Stuttering

Skills impacted by learning disorders
Oral Language — listening, speaking, and understanding
Reading — decoding and comprehension
Written Language — spelling and written expression
Mathematics — computation and problem solving

What is ADHD? ADD? DYSLEXIA ? LEARNING DISABILITY?

Hi friends,

I'm going back now to my true-to-life stories after a couple of postings on Love, friendship and relationship dedicated to the celebration of Valentines Day.

I will now talk about my son he is 6 going to 7 years old this August. He is Preparatory student. During the first grading, his teacher talk to me regarding his performance. She said that he still could not recognize all the letters in the Alphabet.

I said to her that even I was puzzled and troubled by the way he is learning. Because he already studied for 2 years before being in PREP. So I don't know if he needs medical attention on the matters of learning.

So after that talk, I inquired from a parent who is also a guidance counsellor of La Salle Greenhills on how much is the test for Learning Disability. Because I attended a seminar wherein she is the speaker held in the school about ADHD and Learning Disability. I thought it was just like 500pesos or 600pesos but she said it is 3000pesos. It is already a discounted price because she wants to help the school where her children also studies. I was not ready for this amount so I canceled the schedule and up to now haven't done it yet.

I resorted to research on the ADHD/ADD/Dyslexia and other Learning disabilities.

See discussions below.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

What is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder?

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, ADHD, is one of the most common mental disorders that develop in children. Children with ADHD have impaired functioning in multiple settings, including home, school, and in relationships with peers. If untreated, the disorder can have long-term adverse effects into adolescence and adulthood.

Signs & Symptoms

Symptoms of ADHD will appear over the course of many months, and include:

* Impulsiveness: a child who acts quickly without thinking first.
* Hyperactivity: a child who can't sit still, walks, runs, or climbs around when others are seated, talks when others are talking.
* Inattention: a child who daydreams or seems to be in another world, is sidetracked by what is going on around him or her.

How is it diagnosed?

If ADHD is suspected, the diagnosis should be made by a professional with training in ADHD. This includes child psychiatrists, psychologists, developmental/behavioral pediatricians, behavioral neurologists, and clinical social workers. After ruling out other possible reasons for the child’s behavior, the specialist checks the child’s school and medical records and talks to teachers and parents who have filled out a behavior rating scale for the child. A diagnosis is made only after all this information has been considered.

Treatment

Effective treatments for ADHD are available, and include behavioral therapy and medications

IF TOMORROW NEVER COMES

A poem for us in love.

Susan E.


IF TOMORROW NEVER COMES

If I knew it would be the last time that I’d see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.

If I knew it would be the last time that I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss and call you back for more.
If I knew it would be the last time I’d hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word, so I could play them back day after day.

If I knew it would be the last time, I could spare an extra minute or two to stop and say “I LOVE YOU”, instead of assuming, you would KNOW I do.

If I knew it would be the last time I would be there to share your day, well I’m sure you’ll have so many more, so I can let just this one slip away.

For surely there’s always tomorrow to make up for an oversight, and we always get a second chance to make everything right.
There will always be another day to say our “I love you’s”,
And certainly there’s another chance to say our “Anything I can do’s?”

But just in case I might be wrong and today is all I get,
I’d like to say how much I love you and I hope you never forget,
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance you get to hold your loved one tight….

So if you’re waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes, you’ll surely regret the day,
That you didn’t take an extra time for a smile, a hug, or a kiss and you were too busy to grant someone, what turned out to be their one last wish,

So hold your loved ones close today, whisper in their ear,
Tell them how much you love them and that you’ll always hold them dear,
Take time to say “I’m sorry”, “Please forgive me”, “Thank you”, or “it’s okay”
And if tomorrow never comes, you’ll have NO regrets about today

Valentines Day - Dedicated for the Sick

MANILA, Philippines - As people demonstrate love and affection on Valentine's Day, the Manila archdiocese asked the faithful to spend the day showing solidarity for the sick.

Manila archdiocese health care ministry head Fr. Prudencio Solomon said this is in line with the late Pope John Paul II's institution of World Day of the Sick on May 13, 1992.

"In this celebration, we urged to show our love, compassion, and care for the sick, the aged, the disabled, and the dying," Solomon said in a memorandum.

Solomon said they will mark the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes on Feb. 14 with an archdiocesan Mass for the sick to mark the 17th World Day of the Sick.

Manila auxiliary bishop Broderick Pabillo will be the main celebrant in the Mass at 9 a.m. Saturday at the Holy Spirit Parish (Espiritu Santo Parish) at 1912 Rizal Avenue in Santa Cruz, Manila.

I think it just right to give the sick people more attention and love specially on Valentines day.

IF I KNEW

If I knew it would be the last time
That I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly
and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.

If I knew it would be the last time
that I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss
and call you back for one more.

If I knew it would be the last time
I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word,
so I could play them back day after day.

If I knew it would be the last time,
I could spare an extra minute
to stop and say "I love you,"
instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.

If I knew it would be the last time
I would be there to share your day,
Well I'm sure you'll have so many more,
so I can let just this one slip away.

For surely there's always tomorrow
to make up for an oversight,
and we always get a second chance
to make everything just right.

There will always be another day
to say "I love you,"
And certainly there's another chance
to say our "Anything I can do?"

But just in case I might be wrong,
and today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you
and I hope we never forget.

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance
you get to hold your loved one tight.

So if you're waiting for tomorrow,
why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes,
you'll surely regret the day,

That you didn't take that extra time
for a smile, a hug, or a kiss
and you were too busy to grant someone,
what turned out to be their one last wish.

So hold your loved ones close today,
and whisper in their ear,
Tell them how much you love them
and that you'll always hold them dear

Take time to say "I'm sorry,"
"Please forgive me," "Thank you," or "It's okay."
And if tomorrow never comes,
you'll have no regrets about today.

Are you looking for that PP

PP as in Perfect Person.

Well, here's a story to remind us that even if we haven't found that perfect person, there is always someone that would perfectly compliment us.



The Perfect Person
J. M. Whitaker

For as long as I can remember, I have been searching for the perfect
girl. Since I was old enough to begin longing for female companionship, I
have been on the hunt. I guess it started out as just a simple dream or
fantasy, not unlike most of us. The strange thing about it was that it never stayed just a dream or a fantasy. The more people I dated, the more times I was let down, the more I hungered for that perfect person, the one that would fill all of my needs and desires, the one that would never let me down.

I dated girl after girl. Some of them were great while others got me into
some trouble. Some of them made me laugh, but a lot of them made me cry.
Through my journey, I found a lot of joy and a lot of sorrow, a lot of
happiness and a lot of pain, but never the perfect girl. I had dreamed about her. Dark hair, darker eyes, a slim figure tinted golden brown from the sun. She had an accent and could play the cello. She would love to talk, but wouldn't expect me to talk too much. She would always ask me how my day was and would always have a smile on her face; absolute perfection.

I began to devise methods in how I would meet the girls I would date. I
knew I wanted an intelligent girl, so I hung out in libraries and museums. I meet this real crazy girl at a library after school one day. She was smart and sexy and, well? crazy. I would rather not go into a lot of details about it. Let's just say she had some real deep-seated anxieties about our relationship and, consequentially, our break up.

I knew I wanted an artistic girl, so I went to music stores and coffee shops, I even tried a couple of classical concerts. I met this wonderfully cute girl who dressed really dark and loved to write poetry. She was great, we used to stay up all night long talking about the silliest things, but she ended up dumping me for some guy who did drugs and rode a motorcycle.

I got into a car accident with a girl driving a Pontiac Sunfire. She had no driver's license or car insurance, but she did have a really great smile and the prettiest hair. Instead of calling the police, we called in sick and went out to eat. We dated for a while but eventually came across an irreconcilable difference in opinions. She didn't always feel the need to come "straight home" after work. Okay, to be honest, toward the end of our relationship, she rarely came home at all.

Then there was the girl from the International House of Pancakes. She
was an exact replica of my personality. I mean if you had met us both over some Internet chat room, you would swear we were the same person using multiple screen-names. Sounds sweet, huh? Have you ever considered marrying yourself? Have you ever thought about growing old together, just you and yourself? We both found that the whole idea of finding that "perfect person" was to find someone different from yourself to fulfill the empty spots within you.

I searched every where. I left no rock unturned, no leaf moved aside, but
to no avail. After much pain and heartache, I began to believe that the
perfect girl just did not exist. Then one day, I found her.

Her name was Malia. She was from Hawaii, raised in Italy. She wore silk
pajama pants to bed. She had written a novel. She loved the beach and hated cats, just like me. She had silky, dark and curly hair that swayed
Ü perfectly if the breeze was right. She had a caramel colored body, etched out of a block of pure perfection, and her face was that of an angel. From the very first time I saw her, I could not seem to take my eyes away from hers. She was like a siren, calling my name, beckoning me closer to her, even when she was asleep. The attraction was complete, with no faults, no annoyances. Every time she spoke she mesmerized me and every time she moved she amazed me. She was... well, perfect. Oh, and did I mention she played the cello?

We spent all the extra time we had together. We spent so much time together that we decided to move in together. We were paying rent on two places, but one of them was doing nothing but collecting dust. We would sit on the porch when it rained and hold each other. We would lay on the beach and soak up a sweet combination of sunrays and pina coladas. Life was good. No, life was perfect and I knew it just couldn't possibly get any better than it was right then and there.

Two years later, Malia left me for a career-opportunity at a really
prominent university in Europe. There were no harsh words, no angry feelings, not even any sad good-byes. She was so perfect that if she wanted to leave, I wanted it for her. That is, until she was gone.

I cried for days, and began to drink for weeks after that. I felt as if my life was over, that the only reason that I had existed was gone, and every breath I took from that moment on was a futile attempt to hold on to something I later found I never had: The Perfect Love.

Malia was perfect. She was perfect in each and every single way, but was not. Our love for each other was a deeply committed one, but it was far from perfect. I know that now, but if I could go back in time to tell myself that in an attempt to save myself from all of that pain and suffering, I fear I would not have listened to myself.

I slept with many women, sometimes a different girl every week. I drank
excessively and spent all of my money on temporary satisfaction. Anything to ease the pain. But the pain did not ease, it only grew stronger. It became a vicious circle of self-inflicted torture that eventually brought me to my knees and forced me to open my eyes to the real world. But not before it made me a bitter man.

I was wiser, but to this day, the decisions made left a coldness in my eyes that made my heart appear as lead to anyone who dared look. I became a loner, staying home on the weekends, saving my money for a healthy but lonely retirement, having accepted my fate. I was to be alone
for the rest of my life.

Kathy with a K. Actually, her name is spelled Kathyrn. Quite peculiar, but I didn't think so until later. For the longest time, I never even knew her name. But she was a sight for sore and lonely eyes. I saw her at work. I was her boss (actually, I was her boss' boss) and did not
want to risk the chance of even speaking to her. She was just too beautiful, and I had become a beast with a past too horrible to mention. I would just watch her as she passed my office every day. She didn't walk, she frolicked, and I would sneak out for a break whenever she did just to watch that frolicking. She smiled every time someone spoke to her, a smile like the early morning sun, and her eyes were so dark that you couldn't see her pupils, only the glimmering from the light that made her eyes look like two bright stars. I was under her spell and I didn't even know her name. One day, watching her outside, I convinced myself to ask around about her. Find out her name and maybe even find out if she was seeing someone. Just as I had decided that she spoke to me.

Kathy with a K. She ended up asking me out, you know. I told her I couldn't that night because I had to work late. Actually, I was too scared. I called her and asked her if she wanted to go to Starbucks after work the next day and she agreed. It turned out to be the most romantic night of both of our lives. We were both still pretty new in town and didn't really know our way around. I had no idea what I was going to do or where I was going to take her next so I winged it the whole way. Like I said, it turned out to be the most romantic night of both of our ives. It was perfect.

She was not perfect, but neither was I. We both carried a truckload of
emotional baggage and we both had a mountain of flaws. But it was perfect. She would always forget to plug in her cell phone at night, but I would always remind her. I couldn't do laundry worth a flip, but she showed me how. She could never get to work on time, and she hated to drive, but we both had to be at work on time so I drove us both there. Whenever she was slacking I was always right over her shoulder, and when I would lose track of what I was trying to do, she would help to keep me focused. We complemented each other in every single way. Neither of us was perfect, but we were perfect for each other.

When you're out there looking for that perfect person keep these things
in mind. People change, no matter how hard they try not to. As you grow
older you mature, and with each new level of maturity come different ideas, different needs and wants. The person who was perfect for you at twenty could be the person you hate when you're thirty-five. You have to find some one who will grow with you, change with you, laugh with you and cry with you. A person who fills in where you lack, a person whom you can fill in for when they are lacking. But what about the perfect person, you ask? They do not exist. Even Malia was not perfect because the perfect girl in my dreams was supposed to stay with me.

There are no perfect people, only people who are perfect for each other.

Love Notes

" There are some people who meet that somebody that they can never stop loving, no matter how hard they try. I wouldn't expect you to understand that, or even believe it, but trust me, there are some love that don't go away. And maybe that makes them crazy, but we should all be lucky to end up with that somebody who has a little of that insanity. Somebody who never lets go. Somebody who cherishes you forever."

Me, its 100% true.

Hindu Extremists Threaten to Attack Couples Celebrating Valentine's Day

Hindu extremists are threatening to attack Indian couples celebrating Valentine's Day, saying it encourages inappropriate sexual behavior and displays the bad influence of Western cultural influence, The Telegraph reported.

Militants belonging to the group Sri Ram Sena say Valentine's Day is un-Indian, the newspaper reported.

"Valentine's Day is definitely not Indian culture," said Pramond Mutalik, the group's founder. "We will not allow celebration of that day in any form."

The threat came days after the group stormed a bar in Mangalore and beat women they accused of acting obscenely and "going astray," the Telegraph reported.
