A first-grade teacher, Ms Kaile was having trouble with one of her
students the teacher asked,”Boy, what is your problem?”
Boy answered, “I’m too smart for the first-grade.
My sister is in the
third-grade and I’m smarter than she is! I think I should be in the
third-grade too!”
Ms. Kaile had enough. She took Boy to the principal’s office. While
Boy waited in the outer office, the teacher explained to the principal
what the situation was. The principal told Ms Kaile he would give the
boy a test and if he failed to answer any of his questions he was to
go back to the first-grade and behave. She agreed.
Boy was brought in and the conditions were explained to him and he
agreed to take the test.
Principal: “What is 3 x 3?”
Boy: “9″.
Principal: “What is 6 x 6?”
Boy: “36″.
And so it went with every question the principal thought a third-grade
should know. The principal looks at Ms. Kaile and tells her, “I think
Boy can go to the third-grade. ”
Ms. Kaile says to the principal, “I have some of my own questions.
Can I ask him ?” The principal and Boy both agree..
Ms. Kaile asks, “What does a cow have four of that I have only two
of?
Boy, after a moment “Legs.”
Ms. Kaile: “What is in your pants that you have but I do not have?”
Boy: “Pockets.”
Ms. Kaile: What starts with a C and ends with a T, is hairy, oval,
delicious and contains thin whitish liquid?
Boy: Coconut
Ms. Kaile: What goes in hard and pink then comes out soft and sticky?
The principal’s eyes open really wide and before he could stop the
answer, Boy was taking charge.
Boy: Bubblegum
Ms. Kaile: What does a man do standing up, a woman does sitting down
and a dog does on three legs? The principal’s eyes open really wide
and before he could stop the answer…
Boy: Shake hands
Ms. Kaile: Now I will ask some “Who am I” sort of questions, okay?
Boy: Yep.
Ms. Kaile: You stick your poles inside me. You tie me down to get me
up. I get wet before you do.
Boy: Tent
Ms. Kaile: A finger goes in me.. You fiddle with me when you’re bored.
The best man always has me first. The Principal was looking restless,
a bit tense and took one large Vodka peg.
Boy: Wedding Ring
Ms. Kaile: I come in many sizes. When I’m not well, I drip. When you
blow me, you feel good.
Boy: Nose
Ms. Kaile: I have a stiff shaft. My tip penetrates. I come with a
quiver.
Boy: Arrow
Ms. Kaile: What word starts with a ‘F’ and ends in ‘K’ that means lot
of heat and excitement?
Boy: Firetruck
Ms. Kaile: What word starts with a ‘F’ and ends in ‘K’ & if u dont
get it u have to use ur hand.
Boy: Fork
Ms. Kaile: What is it that all men have one of it’s longer on some
men than on others, the pope doesn’t use his and a man gives it to his
wife after they’re married?
Boy: SURNAME
Ms. Kaile: What part of the man has no bone but has muscles, has lots
of veins, like pumping, & is responsible for making love ?
Boy: HEART.
The principal breathed a sigh of relief and said to the teacher, “Send
this Boy to the University, I got the last ten questions wrong
myself!”
1. Kuwait Towers -
a) the big tower has a restaurant and cafe at the big lobe. The small lobe above it has a rotating viewing deck.
b)The small tower serves as a water reservoir.
2. Kuwait City - the Liberation Tower in the middle. Our office building (slightly covered) is at the back side of the new building being constructed with a crane on top. The second building from left, the well-lighted one is the Sheraton hotel.
The Iranian calendar or Solar Hejri (Persian: تقویم هجری شمسی؛ گاهشماری هجری خورشيدی, Taqwim Hejri Shamsi, Salnamay Hejri Khurshidi) is an astronomical solar calendar and one of the longest chronological records in history and is currently used in Iran and Afghanistan as the main official calendar. Beginning each year on the vernal equinox as precisely determined by astronomical observations from Tehran (or the 52.5°E meridian, which also defines IRST), this makes it more accurate than the Gregorian Calendar in being synchronized with the solar year, but harder to work out when a particular date would occur before the New Year preceding that date.
——————————————————–
The current Iranian Calendar year is AP 1388 (AP = Anno Persico/Anno Persarum = Persian year). The Iranian year usually begins on 21 March of the Gregorian calendar. Add 621 or 622 (depending on the time of the year) to an Iranian year to find the corresponding year of the Gregorian calendar.

Happy New Year to all my Iranian friends
Happy New Year to my boyfriend, MEHRDAD
I’ve realized that life is indeed full of contradictions.
Sometimes it’s crazy to be sane,
you need to fall to fly,
people suffer because you care,
you have to unlearn to know the lesson,
you have to give up because you are strong,
you have to be wrong make things right.
nonetheless, life’s complexities are are also life’s source of beauty.
We should cry to laugh again,
get hurt to love again,
and we have to fall apart to be whole again.
———————————-
When you love never stick only to what your heart feels….
Remenber that,sometimes, using your brain is a neccessity..
Next, never use your eyes to cry for the person who fooled you….
Instead use it to search for the right one…
Lastly, don’t be scared breakin up,….
Keepin a relationship with an evil person is much scary…
Take note, love the one who will fight for you
and bravely face each and every consequence….
Someone who can call you a man, rather than a guy.
The Blamer
This is a person who consistently blames you and/or everyone else for her problems. The world and the people in it always seem to create havoc for this person, and instead of taking responsibility for her life, she’d rather blame others.
The Complainer
This person likes to hear her own voice. She constantly complains about what isn’t working in her life and yet gets energy from complaining and dumping her frustrations on you.
The Drainer
This is the needy person who calls to ask for your guidance, support, information, advice, or whatever she needs to feel better in the moment. Because of her neediness, the conversation often revolves around her, and you can almost feel the life being sucked out of you during the conversation.
The Shamer
This person can be hazardous to your health. The shamer may cut you off, put you down, reprimand you, or make fun of your or your ideas in front of others. She often ignores your boundaries and may try to convince you that her criticism is for you own good. The shamer is the kind of person who make you question your own sanity before hers.
The Discounter
This is the person who discounts or challenges everything you say. Often, she has a strong need to be right and can find fault with any position. It can be exhausting to have a conversation with the discounter, so eventually you end up giving in and deciding to just listen.
The Gossiper
This person avoids intimacy by talking about others behind their backs. The gossip gets energy from relaying stories, opinions, and the latest “scoop.” By gossiping about others, she creates a lack of safety in her relationships, whether she realizes it or not. After all, if she’ll talk about someone else, she’ll talk about you.

IT takes as short as several months to as long as a year or two before prices of household commodities rise. No matter the length of time, it is a given that families have to set aside a large portion of their budget for food and other necessities. In the Philippines, there are a lot of stores ranging from your friendly sari-sari store to huge supermarkets inside the malls and stand-alone warehouses where you can buy grocery items among other things. How do you get to save on these purchases without sacrificing time plus your family’s health?
We asked several shopping-savvy moms to share their most practical grocery buying tips. As you will read, saving begins even before you step into the supermarket.
Before leaving the house
Tip #1:
Create weekly menus. Knowing what you actually need to buy as compared to buying what you think you will need makes a big difference. “How many times did you have to throw away molding and wilted vegetables that sat in the refrigerator for more than two weeks because you bought it without having any idea yet what you’ll do with it?” asks Richelle Fabre, mom of four, who have learned her lessons well after experiencing such losses.
Tip #2:
Make a shopping list and stick to it. Based on your menu, list down everything you will need in the next week or so. Look at your pantry and see what needs to be replenished. “If I want to purchase something that is not on the list, I just remind myself that it may not be necessary for me to buy it,” admits Chris Iguidez, mom to seven- and three-year-old boys.
Tip #3:
Schedule your shopping. Angela Abella, an events coordinator and mom of three boys, and Jen Nancho, an executive with one child, both suggest, “Buy groceries once a month or every payday at the most so you can save time as well as parking fees, gas expenses, and tips for the bagboy.”
Tip #4:
Go shopping on a full stomach. Unless you really plan on eating out before or after buying groceries, eat first at home before going to the store. Banker Laarni Enriquez insists, “Shopping with a growling stomach means you are likely to crave stuff which are not originally part of your list of items to buy.”
Tip #5:
Don’t bring the children along. Unless there’s no one to leave your children with, avoid bringing them along to the grocery store as much as possible. “It’s difficult to turn them down when they beg you to buy them something, doubly hard if you have two or more children. If you give in to one request, you’re expected to give in to the others so they won’t think you’re playing favorites,” reasons Chris.
When shopping
Tip #6:
Select a store with a wide-variety of choices. This allows you to compare brands and prices better as well as saves you time from going from store to store to buy what was not available in the first one. “I now shop at Puregold or Unimart after comparing their prices with those of the supermarket chains found in malls,” reveals Jen. On the other hand, although Dee Choa shopped at SM Hypermart before for the reward points, she acknowledges that prices there are still higher, “Now I go to Metro Supermarket which is located along E. Rodriguez in front of the Quezon City Sports Club where goods are more affordable.”
Tip #7:
Go for generic. Faye Mesina, mom to a seven-year-old girl, advises, “Try buying items with the supermarket’s cheaper house brand and see which are comparable to the branded but higher-priced ones. At SM, I get BONUS for the generic products like dishwashing liquid, bathroom tissue, etc.” Also, always be on the lookout for branded items that are good but also reasonably priced.
Tip #8:
Know that more is not always cheaper. A common mistake shoppers make is assuming that they save more when they buy in bulk. Not necessarily. Bring a calculator along the next time you shop and you just might be surprised. As Angela maintains, “I always see to it that I compare prices based on product quantities like on a per liter or per kilogram basis or per piece basis against their total price.” For instance, why buy a pack of 12’s of bathroom tissues at P138.00 or P11.50 each when the individual items only go for P11.25?
Tip #9:
Compare prices between stores. There is no one store that carries everything at cheap prices. If you have the time and options, plus a sharp memory that remembers how much your regular purchases are sold in this and that store, consider buying from two different outlets. Work-at-home mom Rizza Flores, who lives in Alabang, says she shuttles between Shopwise and Save More Supermarkets at the Festival Mall to find the best deals.
Tip #10:
Check out the local palengke for cheaper fresh produce and other local products. If you don’t mind the smell and the heat, food items such as rice, eggs, vegetables, fruits, fish, and meat are way cheaper here than in any store with air-conditioning and well-paved aisles.
Tip #11:
Apply for a rewards card. A lot of supermarket chains now have loyalty cards that give rebates for accumulated purchases/points made by regular customers. At Shopwise for instance, you even get discount coupons for non-food products when you redeem your rebate in the form of gift certificates. If you shop frequently at a particular establishment, it would be wise to avail of one. Some cards even have tie-ups with other stores where you can use them to earn more points as well as get discounts on purchases. “I shop at SM because of the Advantage card. Recently I had a rebate worth P700+ which I used to purchase more grocery items,” says Faye.
Tip #12:
Be wise when buying items on sale. No matter how attractive the amount of money you might save, think thrice before buying a marked down item or packaged good with freebies. Ask yourself, “Can I consume them within the next two weeks?” According to Laarni, always check the expiry date because if you are not able to consume the product a week before it expires, avoid it. “I will not serve expired food to my family and throwing away expired items that were hastily bought which results in money lost in the long run,” she counsels.
Back at the house
Tip #13:
Store your purchases well. Follow storage instructions found on container labels. Immediately put frozen foods inside the freezer while shelf-stable foods such as canned goods should be kept at room temperature inside cool and dry pantries to maintain their quality.
Tip #14:
Protect food from moisture and pests. Transfer plastic or foil-wrapped foods into hard-plastic containers with tight lids and remember to use a dry spoon when scooping out powdered products. Keeping food in their original packaging may result to changes in color, texture, flavor, odor, and loss of nutrients.
Tip #15:
Practice the “first-in, first-out” principle. Position newly bought items behind old stock to ensure that you first use the ones with the nearest expiry dates.
The bottom line – where you buy your groceries will depend for the most part on your location and what you value more: high quality or low price. Some shoppers admittedly can’t compromise quality with price while others make do with what they have the funds for. The important thing is, whether you can afford a lot of expensive things or not, it is always a wise decision to look for the best value that your hard-earned money can buy.
