What Do You Think Is The Right Age For A Child To Go To School?

Raising kids is not easy. We think of their welfare from the moment they are inside our wombs. We make plans for their future and we work hard to meet the needs such as providing for food on the table, clothing, health care, and education. We do all these because we love them so much. With regards to education, would you consider the thought of sending your children to school at a very young age? With or without children, you can share your thoughts.

A Lot of Charms

Oh my! My friends have given me charms lately. They are all packed in my word processor and waiting for me to work on them. I was so busy that’s why I had so limited time. I have to do this or else, I’m in trouble. Hahaha! It is nice to know that there are friends who always remember you. Thanks to Maybel of No Place Like Home, Sveta of Wonderland, Shawie of A Grateful Heart, Glorie of Fit4All, Del of As the World Turns, Malaya, Gilbert/Cely of New Horizon, Crissy of Housewife @ Work, and the cute Kumagcow for this very charming award.

They all are charmed with the blogs, where in the majority of its aims are to show the marvels and to do friendship; there are persons who are not interested when we give them a prize and then they help to cut these bows; do we want that they are cut or that they propagate? Then let’s try to give more attention to them! So with this prize we must deliver it to 8 bloggers that in turn must make the same thing and put this text.

Blogging has been a great blessing to me in my life and it has enriched my days so much. I love hopping in my friends' blogs in the blogging world everyday and I have made so many connections that I truly cherish. I have received three awards recently that I want to highlight. I’m a bit late on two of the awards, because I had a hard time deciding whom to pass along the awards to, since I love so many. :-) I received one award from Dori of Yellow House in England called the “Million Dollar Friend Award”. I am so delightful to receive this.

And this one, I got from Faery Rowan. ‘Wish I got a real Visa Card…lol.

Rules:
1. Only 5 people are allowed to receive this award
2. Four (4) of them are followers of your blog.
3. One has to be new to your blog and live in another part of the world.
4. You must link back to who ever gave you the award.

It's true I have never seen you
and we have never met,
Never shaken Hands or
even truly hugged and yet!

I know for sure you care for
me by the kindness that you give.
And our keyboards keep us
together doesn't matter where we live.

So I give you this gift to
put a smile on your face
and to let you know in my
heart you have a special place.

This time I want to tag along: Dezzmassey, Pinay Writer, Zhoewynz, Annaberly, Sweet Pinay, and Shareen.

Join The Global Olympic Handshake

Angel Baby of Yourcaringangels shared this article with me. I chose to post it here. I am all for peace and a peaceful solution to problems around the world. Since we are all into peace and sportsmanship, I am inviting you to join me in this global handshake which will go all round the world to the Beijing Olympics.

The following message from the wonderful people at Avaaz is very much in this spirit:

As the Beijing Olympics begin, the world looks on with mixed emotions. This is a moment which should bring us closer together, and Chinese citizens deserve their excitement — but the Chinese government still has not opened meaningful dialogue on Tibet, or changed its stance on Burma, Darfur and other pressing issues.

Riots and disruptions of the Olympic torch relay have only helped nationalists whip up Chinese anger. But we cannot stay silent — so what can we do? The answer comes from the Dalai Lama himself, in an unambiguous gesture of Olympic spirit and friendship: a handshake.

It began in London, passed hand to hand by thousands of us — now the handshake has gone online, and is criss-crossing the globe on its way to Beijing. All of us can join, Chinese and non-Chinese, and it comes with a promise: to hold ALL our governments accountable where they fall short, in Tibet, Iraq, Burma or beyond. We will deliver our message in a bold Olympic media campaign before the closing ceremonies: Click here to see how the handshake started, sign up to join in, and watch it circle the globe.

Brilliant Weblog

I feel so special whenever somebody compliments me in every thing I do. It makes me happy. And I am so thankful to my new found friends in the blogosphere. You keep on inspiring me to do my best not only in blogging but also in maintaining my weblog. I know that my blog is still young but as you can see, it is improving…I think so.
