Jersey City, Bayonne and Old Bridge New Jersey

After so many years, I’ve finally got to see New Jersey. I am reunited with my mother’s siblings and cousins. I love the state even if I only stayed for 2 days.  I got to see Macy’s for the first time and I must say I enjoyed shopping!

Tomorrow,  it is time to go to my home base…Baltimore, Maryland. I’m crossing my fingers now.

Arguments on Divorce in the Philippines

ynasanpedro: @Karen_Davila jst woke up and i have your divorce topic as brunch. Wake up noypis! It’s about time.

makmallows: @Karen_DaviLa DIVORCE will only defile the sanctity of marriage. How can a moral wrong be a civil right?

ynasanpedro: @makmallows what is more morally wrong than husbands abusing their wives, and wives can’t get away from the abusive marriage?

makmallows: so why do women settle for wrong men? it takes a lot a prayer to find mr. right. or maybe, the woman herself is ms. wrong.

ynasanpedro: @makmallows you can never tell who’s mr. right. even 10yrs of happy marriage can be abusive. people should be provided options

makmallows: @ynasanpedro it’s not about religion, it’s how strong is their RELATIONSHIP with God. that’s 2 different things.

ynasanpedro: @makmallows oh, so being religious is not having a strong relationship with a GOD?

maksmallows: @ynasanpedro yep. religion is just the world’s standard. some might be faking it. we’ll never know.

ynasanpedro: @makmallows and so battered wives are only religious fakes even when they prayed hard for MR. RIGHT before marrying the bastards. Not fair.

maksmallows: @ynasanpedro it’s best to get lost FIRST in God’s presence and eventually you’ll find mr. right. you have to be ms. right as well.

maksmallows: @DonatelloM @Karen_DaviLa it’s FEAR in the LORD. we must not forget,husbands&wives vowed to God that they’d b together no matter what.

ynasanpedro: @makmallows Battered wife: Oh Lord sorry I fainted with his punches last night, tomorrow I’ll do better.

ynasanpedro: It is good that we pray and thank him for giving us a husband and a family. But he also gave us the ability to think! Think if it is still worth keeping a marriage when you and your kids are already suffering physically and emotionally.

Urbanized

Let’s say I never get contented with my blog’s looks so I changed (AGAIN) the theme to Urban Elements. Women never get contented with anything or anyone except with their husbands. I’ve reduced the number of ads to 1 and removed unnecessary widgets and plugins.

Ross uploaded the same background I have on my Twitter account so that and this blog now look like twins. Oh and don’t forget to look at the footer. Thanks SEOmagic. Now my blog is spic and span.

Submitted by Kathleen Thomas on behalf of Primrose Schools 

Dance can be a fun, easy way to introduce physical activity into a child’s life.  As a provider of educational child care, Primrose Schools has recognized and is actively fighting against the childhood obesity epidemic. Childhood obesity is a critical issue for young children in America. The Family Dance-off supports Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, a non-profit organization that raises funds for more than 170 children’s hospitals, which collectively treat 17 million children annually for every illness and injury imaginable. 

Through their annual Family Dance-off event, families are encouraged to record and submit a 30 second video of themselves dancing to promote fitness and strengthen family ties.  

Participating in the Family Dance-off is easy:

  1. Record a 30-second video of your family’s best dance moves. Don’t be afraid to let loose and be silly! 
  2. Visit The Family Dance-off site and upload your best take by March 19. 
  3. Share your video with your friends via email, Facebook, Twitter, etc. 
  4. View and vote daily (you can place five votes per day) for your favorite family dance video! 

What would a competition be without prizes? Primrose Schools is providing prizes that aren’t only great for your family but for your whole community, with $65,000 in donations to local Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals: 

  • Grand Prize: $5,000 and Primrose will make a $30,000 donation to a local Children’s Miracle Network Hospital
