Grrrr! Chain Letter

By livelifeandlove on November 29, 2013

Is this a bad joke? Is it real? I’m scared and confused to read my morning text messages. It was such a long message I’ve received first hour in the morning.It was a chain letter. If you get out of bed just to receive such mess, you’ll want to wake me up with such stupid foolishness? What a bad morning breakfast! While resting, it will affect your mood that may cause irritation.

The chain text messages came from a friend,I asked her who made that message,according to her,”It was passed on from a relative and from there,it was passed to another and from an unknown abnormal source. It was spread through all mobile users to scare everyone. They really believed that bad luck will happen and a bad scare of accidents and health related warnings if you will not follow instructions and all the rules, something good luck comes to you.

However,I never believe to such foolishness,I”ll never reply to this so, chain would stop. If you receive something like this? Just let it go and delete it! That letter can even makes you paranoid. Whoever made this chain letter are quiet abnormal people. If a texter from unknown source can give the best of words,that would be better. I don’t know why people instead of sending the best they can,they are doing foolish things they can. Please stop your stupid foolishness!!! Excuse me for being so unkind. I want to set my writing to a silent mode now.

Learning and Technology

By livelifeandlove on November 11, 2013

New system of education makes life easier now. Before, it’s quite hard and complicated when it comes to studying.We write longer and consume more time doing research work in school and National library.The travelling time going to some places to research, long traffic congestion makes you bored to just sit down for hours. Certainly, you’ll consume more time in travelling that makes life a burden.

During my time, academic teachers take more time on writing to the board than explaining the main subject. Certainly, that will lessen the class participation and interaction. You can just imagine, So little time, so many writings. Now, there’s a TV in the classroom with a big screen.The teacher will just click to showcase while explaining. The students can even enjoy more reading it because of informative features that you see on the wide screen.Today, teachers don’t have to spend much to get hands on the long board. The PC and the internet,WI-FI is always available for easy access to the internet.The modern technology contributes to the speed of learning. It’s practically saving more time and effort that will work both ways.

How fast time flies ! The flow of transformation from hard to easy system.You can now research online and instruct your PC to do all the work for you. How about the electronic notebook designed for learners? What do you think? If you compare the system of education today from yesterday,it’s easier now. For the teachers and students? Less worries and stress. Absolutely, the old ways would be a primitive one.

Man Carrying an Orange

By livelifeandlove on July 29, 2013

”Man carrying an orange” is a creative craft using a whole piece of an orange including the skin designed for the man carrying the fruit.

This is a funny fruit art that makes you laugh. This is my own illustration of a worrisome sign of a man depicting a situation living in a highly stressful situation, Is it a pandemic world? This small boy carrying something which is too heavy for his own weight is an example on how man can tolerate the hardship of a slow growth, more dependent on themselves in order to get a good juice, we are still working on how to live with it. Probably, it’s a difficult world to live in so we need to get stronger, safer and smarter to get in there.

Stay safe and healthy everyone!

Funny Thoughts

By livelifeandlove on July 16, 2013

Sunday is the best time to shop. It’s my Sunday habit to do all buying of foods and grocery items good enough for the whole week. I want to have enough food in the house to get dinner on the table ready. Last Sunday,I was in the Supermarket, while busy selecting foods, a girl in the fruit section invited me to sample some of their fruits for the day.They were giving out fruit choice to be sampled, got everyone to get free samples of Kiwis, grapes, oranges and yellow/red watermelon.I prefer the red watermelon,got my attention because it looks so fresh and inviting.

I remember when I was 10 years old, my mama is always telling me to refrain from any seeds of the fruit. She keeps on telling me that ”if i eat the seeds,then, the seeds will grow in my stomach”. I wasn’t even scared at that time but bit confused. Night time comes, I was thinking and imagining if in case, I will eat the seeds and will surely grow inside, and as it grows, the leaves might comes out of my mouth. I was so terrified thinking about that,What if I accidentally ate one without even knowing it?

I was only a kid at that time and so premature to think about everything.As the result? I bought a whole piece of red watermelon and it was so refreshing !It seems, during those times, I was the only kid bothered by that. Today, I simply smile to remember all those funny things in life. It was just a funny stuff to remember till this day. LOL!

BORED AT HOME?

By livelifeandlove on March 20, 2013

One way of killing boredom is to get your camera and shoot any subject of interest.You’ll find something new to learn,something in home that surprises you.This is my own way of entertaining myself to fight boredom that strikes me at home,it’s even fun and exciting to see the result.I feel more relaxed to photograph indoors than outdoors although, outdoor shooting is an exciting adventure to see especially if location shooting that shots everywhere that anyone would like to sight see.However, indoor is easier that pays more absolute attention without rushing to anything.You can even practice shoot to discover any problems and people around you will pick up which scenes work and which ones are not.I will just let my camera to make decisions and I’m waiting for entertainment result. I want this simple subject for today’s activity.

Lovely flowers inside the glass jar.

This time,bit closer to the subject and with water inside the jar.

Note: Photographing in the backyard is hot especially mid-afternoon. The best way to protect your face from the sun is to have a big hat,it’s a sun-repellent but still, you need a sunblock cream especially if over exposure to the sun.

Morning Text Messages

By livelifeandlove on December 12, 2012

The shortening of words in texting is now a common practice.I don’t think the grammatarians will like it, as well as English teachers may not like the spelling altered.Others,They find it easier to type and understandable for easier and fast communication. It was a short cut lessening some words. Naturally, busy people on a rush are the ones who needs it.This is one good example on how it was altered.

This morning, I received a morning message from grandma. I was shocked,I thought it was an error message from someone. It was an internet slang word. I can’t believe grandma can do such thing considering her age as 72 years old.Is my grandma getting young at heart all over again back to childhood? Strange weird,isn’t it? My body goes cold at once! The message was so short and just 3 words, ” H r u ? Originally, it was written as How are you ? 2 weeks after, The original words (9 letters) was reduced making it to 5 letters again,omitted the 2 letters of the first word ”How’‘ and written as ”How r u ?” Now, it was reduced again to 3 letters remaining, ”H r u ?’‘ I don’t think she can reduce it all over again. I can’t even define it as a word with sense!

I can just do the same thing too. OMG! Let’s LOL ! Nobody is too old for grandma! Getting tummy ache for laughing too hard.

Thanks to Technology

By livelifeandlove on July 30, 2012

Got to be very busy this week, I’ll be out of the city for a community work. I just received a very important call from my family and texts messages from friends that demands a quick reply, I’ll be using short-cuts,symbols for easy reply to some of my friends. Connecting thoughts without words is better than not to reply at all. My friends can understand details of it simply because we are already used to it.It is automatically generated anyway.It is easier to connect using facial expressions through symbols which doesn’t demand much time especially if your schedule is tight that you cannot attend to some texts.Sharing feelings using symbols is an expression of bonding for us. I’m aware that it is not good and informal.I’m not that too strict when it comes to short-cut messages. But, I never forget to become one when there’s a need too. It’s vital.

Whew! Thanks to my mobile phone and laptap,I can connect with them so quickly fast with no rules to follow.Mobile phone and Laptap is portable and very easy to carry.One advantage of technology, Whatever or whenever you are; in the most extreme places,in the mountains,in the middle of the sea, above the sky,or even inside the bathroom,power made it possible to reach me at any given time of the day.

Thanks to technology! It keeps me in touch with them 24/7 sharing my up-to-date activities at present. To all my callers and texters ,with just hearing your voice alone and wonderful messages, All my stress are easily replaced with unexplained happiness throughout the day. How about the disadvantages? Oh,well! At this time, I’m enjoying the advantage of it. I just loved it. I will share some disadvantages next posts. Opppps! It’s now twitter time.
