| Before you watch the video below, I have to warn you first. This video is pretty graphic and can be upsetting to watch. And yet, it brings through a powerful message. You may even want to watch this video alone first before you watch it together with your kids. http://www.symphonyoflove.net/blog/1041/driving-while-texting-can-kill.html

| Just the other day, I saw a video that is a little upsetting and possibly disturbing and yet the message that the video tried to bring across sunk deeply into me. How often have we heard, "children don't do things we ask them to do, they do things seeing what we do?" And yet we have seen how some parents behaving badly and rude to others in front of their children. How would such actions and behaviors impacted their children? Probably through this short video, we have a chance to see from a third person's view what could possibly be the consequences.
I have a 4 years old (going to 5) niece and two 3 years old twin nephews. I had seen how my niece copying her childcare teacher in talking to her two brother at home. And I had seen how the two boys always 'driving' around the house in their imaginary vehicle. It was always fun to see them imitating something that we did as long as those things that they imitated were socially accept. But what if they start to pick up some bad habits ... that is something which I do not desire. If that is the case, how then must I behave? Shall I behave differently when I am with them? Or shall I be consistent and behave the same way as I will have been if I am with them? I find the latter more convincing.

We must really be careful what we do, because we may be watched.

| It has been an uneventful weekend for me and I hope that you have a good weekend there. However, I couldn’t say that for some of our Philippines friends who were badly hit by the tropical storm Ketsana (Ondoy) over the weekend. According to a report from AFP, “At least 73 people were killed and more than 330,000 others displaced after the heaviest rain in more than four decades plunged the Philippine capital into turmoil… The nine-hour deluge across Manila on Saturday submerged houses, washed away shanties and turned roads into raging rivers, forcing terrified residents to seek refuge on top of homes or cars where they waited for more than 24 hours.” Find out how you can help at: http://www.symphonyoflove.net/blog/974/tropical-storm-ketsana-ondoy-hit-philippines.html

| “Please give me one foot of Happiness, one pint of kindness, one acre of care and … er … I change my mind. Give me one tonne of Love instead.” Am I making any sense to you? No, this is not the latest love potion concoction. I know it sounded ridiculous to you. Looking at the title of this post, what were you thinking? Would it be good if we could buy some units of love or happiness like buying a can of soda? For people in love, what are the questions which you are most fearful of? For me, I am still searching for the ‘perfect’ answer to the simple question “how much do you love me.” If it is not thoughtfully answered, your sincerity and love would be doubted by the person receiving it. Do let me in if you have found the ‘perfect’ answer to this question. Continue reading at: http://www.symphonyoflove.net/blog/928/1-kilogram-of-love.html

| Are you happy? According to a news report by New York Times, Reuters, if you are happy, then you’re not watching much TV. It was stated in the report that happy people spend a lot of time socialising, going to church and reading newspaper - but they do not spend a lot of time watching television.
