The Chicken Sisters (May 23, 2008)

Another children’s story that I recently read with a student was this book. It tells about the tale of three chicken sisters who boast of their love for baking, the other for knitting and the last sister for singing.

In the story, the eldest who is fond of baking is not really a good baker but her sister appreciates the fact that she tries her best to bake for them. The youngest that is not that great in singing is still being supported by the sisters.

It is worth blogging because of the attitude amongst the sisters. They seemed to tolerate each others little faults, or big ones, but it surfaced evidently that they do accept the faults of each other.

Our society tolerates a number of things but had not been accepting of others. There are still the issues of religion, culture clash, gender and social class. There is still prejudice, bias and discrimination.

The earth is telling us many things with its changing climate and environmental issues. But until now, we have never managed to put our conflicting ideas aside to promote a better place to be in. Maybe our death will be the only answer.

A Year (May 21, 2008)

It’s a year now since I started blogging. I have no regrets but only praises for being able to blog my thoughts and feelings with a technology feel into it.
Blogging my feelings have been a tremendous help towards a more stable emotional life. Aside from the beauty of plants that surrounds me, blogging gives me the same pleasure as I write many instances of my life, be it good or bad. It is an outlet for releasing pent up emotions brought about by changes, rejections, move, and loss.

Blogging my thoughts had been helpful as I gain confidence in writing and in increasing my vocabulary I seldom use. It gives me an opportunity to send my ideas and messages to some chosen few who reads my blog occasionally. I have many things to share and have learned many things throughout that’s why blogging my experiences and thoughts in here makes me feel that I can be of little help to others.

So a one year anniversary for me. Thanks to blogspot.com.

Less Expectations (May 19, 2008)

I like meeting people but whenever I do, I always end up being disappointed because it is always not reciprocated with equally positive vibes. In my workplace, I always manage to make people upset because of my high standard of work. I was told many times by my supervisors to lower my standards so as not to upset myself and so that I can be more positive with my dealings with my co-workers.

In my social circle, I always expect an equal share of effort in communication so that I can be alive in my exchange of ideas and whereabouts. And when the fire in me is extinguished by neglect and forgetfulness, I tend to be disappointed and hurt.

The problem is mine and I knew it all along. So for now, it is better to just go on living with less of everything.
