    i've said it before: whoever designed this latest batch of coins should be made to receive and spend their salaries in those exact denominations. That way they can bear witness to their own incompetence.

    Tingin ko nagpapagulo sa coins eh yung mga luma. Yung difference ng new 1 peso and new 5 peso eh almost kabisado ko na sa muscle memory ko. Although sometimes verify pa rin pag di sure. I wonder kung mawala na yung mga lumang barya if that would help with distinguishing the coins.

    For us maybe, but for young kids and senior citizens I think it might be really challenging. Just my opinim though, I might be wrong.

    By necessity time will definitely be able to teach most people but this should and could have been easier all along.

    alas, coins have a useful lifespan that is counted by decades.

    Wish they had considered shapes of old coins like this. These are small too so cheap to produce but would be easier to tell the value by just touch.

    FB sellers who don't put the price tapos PM only! Kapag ganyan, no matter how much I want the product, I don't buy! What the hell is the logic there.

    they don't want to be tied down by their advertised price.
    they can easily adjust their prices, as per the tide of the times.

    I've seen one justifying this practice as "to prevent competitors from knowing the price and sabotaging it (e.g. cutthroat pricing)". Don't know how true tho

    Quite true, yung pa luge price just to get the client. Ang talo yung business. Importante talaga may good relationship ka rin sa mga competitors mo kahit kalaban mo sila.

    Driving in the Metro has become a lot more challenging and dangerous during this pandemic....

    Lutang ang mga drivers....

    Occupying 2 lanes and driving slower vs the traffic, suddenly slowing down, swerving and stopping, making u turns anywhere, crossing the main road without waiting for a clear traffic and like they own the road. I mean, it has been that way, but this time a lot worse and they're everywhere....

    Yep, people like forgotten about road courtesy and simple road signs. Parang bahala na kayo sa buhay nyo!

    I feel like pulling my hair out when my Mom complains about food. It's so early in the morning I give my Dad an award for putting up with this for decades She complains when there's too much, pero when we run out she complains too and then she complains when she has to eat the same thing 2 days in a row. Wtf. I have the same "menu" 5 days a week, which is chicken breast and egg for breakfast and chicken breast and mixed vegetables for dinner.

    Ayan kasi hindi marunong magluto. Such a basic life skill. I cannot relate to people who say Mom's cooking is the best. Can't even open a stove (I swear I asked her once and she said takot siya baka sumabog)

    Cooking is never a basic skill. Unless stone age ang pinaguusapan.

    I am so annoyed with these perfect parents on social media.

    My friend posted this on FB in disagreement, so parents cannot raise their voice on their children now and they are supposed to apologize for it? I don't recall my Mom ever raising her voice on me, but my Dad does, and when he does naninigas na ko sa takot. HAHAHA! Ilang beses na ako nagulpi but I love and respect my Dad more than any man in my entire life! I asked my friends and almost all of us experienced corporal punishment (born 70s and 80s).

    Some kids feel things so deeply. Catalina tends to feel her hurt a lot longer than my other kids. This doesn’t mean that my other children don’t get affected or disappointed, but they usually don’t do the post-cry...The one where the situation has been over for a while and then when you bring it up again, Catalina will cry again like she is feeling everything for the first time.

    Here she is hugging Edric who apologized for reacting to her when she accidentally ran into him and physically wounded him. He slightly raised his voice when he responded with a, “Catalina! Be careful!”

    She ran to me and started to bawl because she’s a sensitive one. About an hour later, when I mentioned this to Edric, he called her to our room and asked for forgiveness. Even though she had gone back to playing and getting ready to go out, when Edric spoke to her, she cried again. Edric embraced her really tightly and gave her time to cry, and then she was okay.

    We need to keep short accounts with our kids when it comes to emotional wounds. Some children harbor negative feelings, others may seem to easily get over them. Yet, all of them need to see us humble ourselves when we make mistakes, even if these mistakes may not seem like a big deal to us. Having six kids has shown me that all children are fragile in their own way — big or small, young or old.

    Our children do not feel peace when they feel like we aren’t happy with them, when they feel like we are angry. When we apologize this teaches our kids to do the same, and they will carry this into their future relationships.

    Last night, our study for our couples’ group covered this passage: “Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger by the way you treat them. Rather, bring them up with the discipline and instruction that comes from the Lord.”
    **Ephesians‬ *6:4

    I know it addresses fathers but all of us, including us moms, can apply this passage as we raise our children. We need to avoid words and actions that wound them, and do our best to repair and heal the hurts we cause. Children are so tender. When we sincerely own up to our mistakes and try our best to change, they still trust us with their hearts. ❤️ #teachwithjoy

    Hindi ba liberals ang ganyan mag isip? I prefer the traditional way of doing things. I respect parents that know how to properly discipline their children. Imagine, sarili mong anak hindi mo ma castigo, paano na when the child grows up and goes out to the real world, not everyone will be as "nice" as his or her parents.

    Nagpost lang ng story cancel culture agad. Sino nacancel dun, sino nadeplatform.
