If You Wanna Go, Just Go!: Go Your Own Way By Fleetwood Mac

What happened a couple of nights ago still casts a dark shadow on this house. After all the emotional chaos that's been happening in the last two years, this the last thing that anyone needs. Still, if it doesn't doesn't work out, then best to go where you feel things are more suited to your taste. Just remember that bonds and respect should be there cause if you're going to go, go clean. I guess that's the reason why I feel sad when I hear the song "Go Your Own Way" by Fleetwood Mac.

For some reason, maintaining the bond in this family is very important to me now more than ever. I know we're at that stage where we should branch out and have our own lives. What is important is that no matter what we do or where we go, the bond is there and is always strong. That night caused another break in the still fragile bond that was heavily damaged in the past few years. Because of that lines crossed and respect has been violated which saddens and angered those who were affected by some selfish jerk's disrespectfully foul act and his harlot spy.

Right now those in this house have decided that if that jerk doesn't do what we told him to get out of this house. Although I am a flawed individual who is still picking up the pieces of his pathetic life, I will not allow this shameful act to go unnoticed, let alone unpunished! My massage for him is you either get rid of that trash that caused this message and apologize to the person you shamed or stay where you are!!!! If you try to force yourself and those maggots with you, somebody's gonna get it. Enough is enough because if you choose to break these bonds, you forfeit your affiliation to this house and its members so go your own way!!!

Education Begins At Home: Teach Your Children Well By Crosby, Stills , Nash And Young

Last week, class opened for the country's public school and this week private school will officially begin classes as well. By this time, school teachers and officials already have lesson plans and materials ready for another of preparing students for reality. I'm not surprised if each and every single teacher or school staff is going to either say a long prayer or take a long nap to steel themselves for the long year ahead. Yet as the teaching person make their preparations for the school, I do so hope that parents are now doing the same thing because education actually starts at home. Everytime I hear the song, "Teach Your Children Well" by Crosby, Stills , Nash And Young, it reminds me that we lay the groundwork as to how they will take to learning.

As I've said in a previous entry, motivation starts with parents and being a former teacher, I've seen how difficult a task that can be. Nevertheless, parents should start orienting their children on the basics like the alphabet and numbers. More importantly, they should instill in them the importance of learning and how it can affect their future. Another important thing that parents should start teaching them is time management and discipline. When it's study and when it's time to play becase too little of the former and too much of the later, don't surprise if you're paying for a summer classes or a repeat of a school year or worse shop around for another school.

Parents are the ones who are responsible for how their children cope with the academic world and they better do it right. The academic is just practice for the harsh realities of life. If they do they're prep work right, then it's less stress for everyone involved and it ensures a good future for your child. It is the parent's responsibility to see to it that their children are studying and doing well in class. No matter what you say, education begins at home

Chilling Out In The Rain: I Wish It Would Rain Down " By Phil Collins And Eric Clapton

Last night was one of the worst nights I ever had. Instead of getting a little RNR, I find the whole house in an uproar, leaving everyone in a terribly bad mood. The fact that it was raining heavy and the kitchen ceiling was leaking didn't help as I spent the night mopping just to clean the floor and to take the stress out of my system. When I hear the rain fall, I wish it would wash away all of the crap that happened then maybe I'd appreciate the downpour. When I remember the song "I Wish It Would Rain Down" by Phil Collins and Eric Clapton, I'd like to think of rain as a healing tool rather than a wet annoyance.

When things heat up, there's nothing like a 24K song to cool down. It's better than Prozac. I remember the times when a cool shower brought out the smiles in people's faces. Everyone went out and simply had fun in the rain as poured down after a hot day. When we had our fill of getting wet, we'd dry ourselves off and relax and chill out for the rest of the day. It sure takes me back to happier times.

After last night, I really long for those stress-free days. It's bad enough that I have to deal with a lot of things and this crap hits all of us out of the blue. You know of these days when comes pouring, I'm gonna go outside and soak myself up in it and have fun. I don't care if I fool doing it cause if it feels good, why not. After the way things are, I really wish a healing rain shower would pour over me cause I could sure use a healing shower.

A Lot Of Rain: It's Raining Again By Supertramp

Well it's the rainy season again. Summer really ended quick as the dark clouds starts to form, the winds get a little colder and the smell of water fills the air. Time to break out the umbrellas, jacket and boots to avoid getting wet. Apart from the constant downpour, this sure is going to be an emotional downer. With the heavy rains and the negative vibes that go along with it, I remember Supertramp's remake of the song "It's Raining Again".

Tonight really tested my patience as I was trying to make my way home. First it rained like buckets. Then traffic froze which was getting on my nerves because I promised my mother that I would be home early to take her to church. Despite coming home late and getting wet, we managed to attend mass even if it had already started. Man, this downpour pissed me off so much, I thought that it was the devil who made it rain.

I guess this is a metaphor for test one has to endure just see if a person will keep a promise. Well I did even if I was tired to boot. It's funny how some situations make you feel like you're being tested. Then again life is full of trials that we have to face no matter how bad the situation looks. One thing for sure, I would let no rain stop me from fulfilling my promise so there!!!

Start Of School Blues/Don't Need No Inductrination Or Poor Quality Education: We Don't Need No Education By Pink Floyd

With the all the problems that I've been having with the internet that I forgot this week is the first week of school. I bet that a lot of kids are crying "Not Again" on their way to school. When we were younger, the first day of school was the worst day for a kid after two and half months of freedom. Nevertheless, education is still important as means to better future but the problem is the quality of education given to our children is so poor that they can't apply what they learn outside the classroom. For me, when the first day of school came, I would listen to Pink Floyd's song "We Don't Need No Education".

Even though we'd rather have an extension of even a few days, when it was time to go, it's time. Still, kids these should count themselves lucky because teachers now try to reach out to their students in an effort to get them motivated. Back in my days, the teachers were sadist who punished their students for the sheer joy of it and if you didn't meet their expectations, you can bet that you're headed for remedial, summer class or worst a repeat of another year. The problem today is that all the good teachers are now leaving because their salaries can barely make ends meet. Because of this, good teachers, let alone a good school is a hard find.

As a former teacher, try look into the school's back ground starting if it is accredited by DepEd. Also make inquiries regarding the type of students who are enrolled in the school and check out the teachers who are in charge of classes if they are certified to teach and most importantly if they use new techniques in teaching that motivate kids to learn. Motivating kids to study is important,especially in these hard times. That and their determination will get them through life.

It Does Matters: Money Changes Everything By Cyndi Lauper

As I have blogged before, this global recession is hell on everybody. People getting laid off are now faced with bleak prospects on how to cope with everyday demands. For those of us who want to live a simple life are now living the frugal life because what was once enough can now make ends meet now. When times go bad, it really changes everything. When I hear Cyndi Lauper's song "Money Changes Everything", it reminds of how money really changes everything about how we live.

All I wanted was to live my dreams in a simple and quiet life. These days I'll be glad to settle for quiet and everytime, I hear talk about increase in the bills,I really get depressed. I realize too late that the simple life is also the frugal life and that is so true when you have to take care of other people. You'll be lucky if once you give all, things quiet down. Unfortunately, there are times when somethings strikes out from the blue and the balance has collapsed.

These days people are doing all that they can to make ends meet, let alone earn a little extra to get back what they have lost. Whether it's a part time jobs, selling commodities, even using the internet for web design, pro-blogging and online writing or getting another job or going abroad, people are doing all that they can to make ends meet. The sad part is that even if you do accumulate a lot of cash, you'd be too bone-tired to spend it or it just goes to paying all the bills. It stinks but as much as we want to live our ideal life, reality really hits us hard. In the end, money does matter, but just don't let it be the most important thing in life.

Strange Days Indeed: Nobody Told Me By John Lennon

When you're a kid, everyday was a breeze as all you do is eat, watch t.v. and sleep. All that time you're oblivious to everything around you. As you grow older, things get a little different. Things get complicated and before you know it, your day gets piled up with problems and unexpected development, leaving you full of stress and wondering what happened. Life is just full of surprises ain't it. When I hear that saying I remember John Lennon's song "Nobody Told Me".

A lot of times, somebody or something throws a wrench in the machine and stops its function. When that happens, all chaos breaks loose. This is where you fight the urge to panic and think of something to do. It's not easy though because you were caught by surprise, your thoughts are all scattered and try to get yourself together. If you were able to surpass this sudden development then good for you. Nevertheless, it still stinks when days like these happen.

Handling days like these is something you have to learn to anticipate and cope with on your own. You can read all the books and attend all the lectures on preparedness, but when it hit you, your mental jaw better be tough cause it's long day. I remember what my Karate teacher told me about being relaxed but alert and I'm trying to apply that to steel myself for these crazy days which are happening more frequently. I just hope I able to handle them because from the way things are, they're going to occur more frequently. These are indeed strange days and I'll do my best to deal with them even if nobody told about them.
