YOUNG LOVE

When is the right time to fall in love?...

Often times we hear from older people or even people of our age say to young ones, "Don't fall in love yet, you are still too young. You need to finish your studies first. You need to help your parents or mother or siblings first before falling in love." The young ones wouldn't understand it, rebellious act will come out. Some young ones who are scared to their elders, or wanted to be good children will try their best not to "fall in love".

When you are in high school, it's that time when crushes or admiration start. You see someone who dress up well, handsome or beautiful, sexy, smart in class or someone who cares for you, helps you with your projects or homework or assignments. Most teenagers identify these things as Love.Then these young ones commit themselves into a "relationship". That kind of relationship that lasts for few weeks or months. Good thing if it lasts for years. But the thing is, high school love is not really reliable. You might like her or him at that time because she or he is within the circle you're revolving around. Then once you're out or she or he is out of that circle then you find somebody else. 

Some parents have a major concern, thus do not approve their kids having a "relationship" at an early age, which is high school age. Having a relationship might distract their kids studies. How would their kids handle heartbreak. Their daughter might get pregnant or their son might get a girl pregnant.These type of parents are often described by the kids as strict,over protective and controlling. If only these kids would understand that these parents are only protecting them for their benefit. They're protecting their future. No parents on their normal condition would want their kids suffer from any pain. There are parents however, that it's alright if their kids would have relationship at an early age. They might be considered "cool" parents. It's not because they're not concerned about their kids future but they just wanted their kids to decide for themselves. They wanted to be their kids friends not only as parents. May the kids of these type of parents be responsible enough to give their parents due respect for the trust given to them. 

Most young ones, entering into a relationship often mistakenly thought of it as Love. Love is a bit complicated thing. There is no right time for love. It will come unexpectedly and even in unexpected places. Entering into a relationship though can be a choice, decision. What is your purpose in having a relationship with someone?

NEW YEAR 2015

Celebration  of New Year 2015 was quiet in our family. I was sick and Willy's suffering and recovering from his operation due to an accidental glass cutting on his right hand. I told him to invite his brother and his family to join us because I know it will make a big difference in the occasion. Willy always wanted to have his siblings with him during festive occasions. However, his brother and his family had other plan, like joining their church mates during that day and his brother was too tired coming back from work.

The children cooked very simple  dish with my instructions. We bought cooked roast pork and the children bought cooked prawns the day before. The family were very quiet that I couldn't post any photos because there were no happy faces. Though I was not feeling well I was able to make Ice cream red velvet cake for Wilhein's 10th birthday which was supposed to be on the 22nd of December. In our family, a birthday is not finish until there's a cake and candles to blow. So even though it was late we have to make the cake. Wilhein requested red velvet cake for his birthday and he got it. Harold, Hildyane and Wellington helped me make it. It also served as our dessert for New Year's eve celebration.

Very early this year, I was concerned with my brother who wants his marriage be annulled due to infidelity of the other party. He wants to marry again but he cannot do it unless his marriage is annulled. However, it will cost him or us  (I'm included there coz I'm his only sibling who could help of course) a lot. A minimum of P125,000.00 fee for the lawyer to process it. Someone I heard annulment in the Philippines is only for the rich people. Yes coz it will cost you so much. I told my brother if we can find that amount it's better for him to use it  to start a business. Just stay "single" for the meantime. If he can do the business he's planning it would be good and he could even travel abroad.

This year my kids started to new schools. Wilhein was accepted in the Opportunity Class, Wellington goes to a Creative Performing Arts High School along with his older sister, Hildyane. Heinkel still in that same Senior High School but will be finishing Year 12 this year. A big change in our schedule since their schools are a bit far away from each other.

We started 2015 a bit tough but I pray and hope everything will be alright.
