Breast feeding

Personally, I had experienced breast feeding but I didn't breastfeed my kids for long. I just did it during my confinement. Then I had to stop as I had to go back to work. It would be great for mothers to breastfeed their babies as it has many benefits as mentioned below.

Breast feeding offers many benefits to your baby. Breast milk contains the right balance of nutrients to help your infant grow into a strong and healthy toddler. Some of the nutrients in breast milk also help protect your infant against some common childhood illnesses and infections. It may also help your health. Certain types of cancer may occur less often in mothers who have breastfed their babies.

Women who don't have health problems should try to give their babies breast milk for at least the first six months of life. There are some cases when it's better not to breast feed. If you have HIV or active tuberculosis, you should not breast feed because you could give the infection to your baby. Certain medicines, illegal drugs, and alcohol can also pass through the breast milk and cause harm to your baby.

I Don't Think of Other Women

Another denial of programmed emotions that men face, this lie is usually called for. They don't want to hurt their girlfriend or wife. So, they have no choice but to deny that no other women (real or imaginary) are ever on their minds. If she believed them when they said, "I've never seen a woman more beautiful than you," this will be a piece of cake. Providing they don't actually think about other women all the time, they should have nothing to worry about. Even a psychiatrist would tell them that fantasizing or drooling over a hot babe in a magazine from time to time is no crime.

Ladies, if your husband/boyfriend likes to look at other pretty lady, would you mind?

  

Guys, if your wife/girlfriend likes looking at other handsome guy, would you mind?

Relationship

How do we maintain our relationship with our friends?

Those days, we used to visit each other and even write to each other.

Nowadays, we just message to each other and even email, facebook and twitter.

Do we actually talk to each other on the handphone? I realize many people hardly do that. They would prefer to just sms unless it's necessary to call.

As for me, I would prefer to call and talk on the phone. This could maintain our relationship and thus strengthening it..

Stay or Quit

I would love to quit from working with my husband. But I have to stay. I don't have the heart to quit and let him suffer. He needs me but he never admits it. 

As a wife, I have to tolerate. I wouldn't want my family to suffer should I act according to my emotions.

Frankly speaking, I hope what I am doing is for the best..

Care for parents

We as children should love and care for our parents. 

This is a true story about a family. This uncle has 5 sons. All of them are married and own a sundry shop each. So they are definitely busy with their work.

But their parents on the other hand are old and helpless. They just stay at home most of the time. The sons also hardly have time for them.

Their father suffers and feels that his sons are not bothered about him. Gradually he becomes depressed and he refuses to eat and thus he becomes fragile.

Now he is lying in the hospital. We just visited him and I realised that his sons make the effort to care for him.

Elderly people need love as much as us. Therefore, lavish them with love whenever possible so that they remain healthy and happy..

Blog - my diary

When I started my blogs, it was meant to be my diary.

It is fun and interesting. I have started my very first blog, Experiences in Aug 2009. I have been very keen until now. It's almost 2 years.

Blogging has taken up an important part of my life. I got to fill up my free time with it.

Blogging is great for young and elderly alike. So no one must miss this change in our lives..

Optional Retirement

If you were given a chance to opt for early retirement, would you go for it?

I definitely had gone for it.

I had no choice actually. My husband needed me to take care of his shop when his brother decided to quit the partnership.

But if I were given a chance to go back teaching, would I go for it?

I don't think so as teaching is not easy anymore..

Love songs

Do you like to listen to love song?

Personally, I love sentimental songs which are usually meaningful.

When I first knew my boyfriend, I would usually find words about love or even songs about love.

Love makes our world goes round and round. Full of fantasy and excitement..

Until today, I still love love songs even though I am already married. Love lasts..

My dream car

My dream car is here!

Guess it..

Being Bullied

How do you feel being bullied?

As for me, I don't like to be bullied! If it happens, I would definitely strike back.

But nowadays, bullies can be very aggressive. They strike non-humanly and sometimes it could be nonsensical too.

But what would you do?

One should report to the authority like school disciplinary board if the victim couldn't handle it. Bullies must be eradicate!

Mum's Day

"I love you,"
said a great mother.
"I love you for what you are
knowing so well what you are.
And I love you more yet, child,
deeper yet than ever, child,
for what you are going to be,
knowing so well you are going far,
knowing your great works are ahead,
ahead and beyond,
yonder and far over yet."

~Carl Sandburg

 

 

Enjoy the moment

Do you like eating crabs?

I love eating crabs! My mum too! See..she was enjoying it and finally it's finger-licking good!

Do you lick your finger? Actually, it's not hygienic to lick our fingers but when you had finished eating something great like crabs, you would definitely love to lick your fingers!

I licked my fingers when I was done with those crabs. Yummy!

Happy Mum's Day to my great mum!

Free gift

Would you go all the way just to get a free gift?

Recently, there are so many advertisements which lure us to go all out to get the yearned free gifts.

Personally, I don't think it's worth the effort. Sometimes you even have to spend more to get what you want. But, as humans, we are usually blinded by the promises of great gifts or so.

Parking

This morning, my husband drove the car right to the kerb and right underneath the bumper has got scratches.

Luckily, the kerb is not too high. Otherwise, it would have got the bumper scratched instead!

Personally, I don't park my car right to the front to avoid scratches to the front bumper. If I'm not sure of the distance, I would usually get out from the car and justify it.

Better be safe than regret. My husband sure regretted as he had just got the bumper sprayed last week.
