Instant Math Help

I have mentioned many times before that I wasn’t that good in Math subjects, back when I was in school a number of decades past.  I was glad that that embarrassing fact wasn’t passed down to my kids when they were in school themselves.  I was pretty satisfied that they didn’t have much problem in their studies unlike me who hated College Algebra especially solving Math word problems.  I’m quite sure I was like some of the ordinary students of today who have to seek Math homework help whenever it comes to Factoring polynomials.   Oh boy! I can only smile at myself thinking how silly I was in my math class during my time. 

Nowadays, students are far more fortunate with the excellent technologies surrounding them. Computers and other high end gadgets are at hand for whatever information are required of them in school.  Thus, Math problem solver as well as Free homework help isn’t so difficult to find.  They can even search for Free Math help online and obtain a satisfying response instantly. 

Time has evolved too far.  I just couldn’t imagine what other instant help awaits the future generation!

Mobility Vehicle for Disabled

This is a sponsored Post written by me on behalf of NMEDA.All opinions are 100% mine.

Being a stay at home wife and mom, I am always occupied with non-stop household chores.  It’s tough but I always find time to go out with a close friend and unwind after a very busy day.  However, more than a month ago, I was informed by my friend that she won’t have the time anymore to go out and chill with me. The reason is that her husband is paralyzed after having a  Stroke. She would need to take care of him until such a time that he could recover and completely move by himself! 

I have witnessed how difficult it is to be a caregiver let alone be the disabled patient.  My friend being  the caregiver and his husband being the PWA (Person With Disability) need to put forth a lot of effort and energy to execute some moves and easily travel  from  one place to another.  Boarding to and alighting from vehicle seems to be hard punishment for both.  If only he has vehicle custom made for the disabled like him, life would be much easier for them.  This made me think about NMEDA the association that promotes safe driving and equipment for the disabled. It has dealers and Quality Assurance Program dealers (QAP). The latter is the only nationally recognized accreditation program for the Adaptive Mobility Equipment Industry. It should not be forgotten too that the association has dealers all over the U.S. they only need to locate the nearest dealer near them. Or you my blogger friends may want to try and locate the NMEDA dealer nearest you just for the fun!

And for my friend, who cares so much for her husband, hopefully they’ll get over it soon. If not, (knock on wood!) there’s a mobility vehicle that can be custom made according to his husbands need.

Was your Mom mean?

I know mine was. We had the meanest mother in the whole world!

As other kids ate candy for breakfast, we had to have cereal, eggs and toast.

When others had chips and coke for lunch, we had to eat rice with meat, fish or vegetables

And you can guess our mother fixed us a dinner that was different from what other kids had too.

Mother insisted on knowing where we were at all times. Checking on us, who we were with.

You’d think we were convicts in a prison.

She had to know who our friends were and what we were doing with them.

She insisted that if we would be gone for an hour, we would be gone for an hour or less.

We were ashamed to admit it, but she had the nerve to break the child labor laws by making us work.

We had to wash dishes, make the beds, learn to cook, vacuum the floor, do laundry, empty the trash and all sorts of cruel jobs.

I think she would lie awake at night thinking of more things for us to do.

She always insisted on us telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

By the time we were teenagers, she could read our minds.

Then life was really tough!

Mother wouldn’t let our friends just honk the horn when they drove up. They had to come up to the door so she could meet them.

While everyone else could date when they were twelve or thirteen, we had to wait until we were sixteen.

Because of our mother, we missed out on lots of things other kids experienced.

None of us has ever been caught shoplifting or vandalizing others’ property or been arrested for any crime.

It was all her fault.

Now that we have left home, we are all educated, honest adults.

We are doing our best to be mean parents just like Mom was.

I think that is what’s wrong with the world today.

It just doesn’t have enough mean moms.

More comfy scrubs

Having been sickly since childhood, I hated it but hospital was like my second home. As a child, Doctors and Nurses in   ghostly white attires were like spooky Halloween props to me. I’d be very scared to see hospital staff on white outfits to come near me.  Good thing that as time passes by, I now see less of those white medical uniforms but more of those lively colored medical scrubs and nursing uniforms scrub instead.  They are I think more appealing and more hip than the classic white uniforms. 

Maybe there’s no way kids of today would ever feel the way I felt towards Doctors and Nurses during my time. Not so much of white outfits are seen now.  Nursing and medical uniforms have improved in styles.  Hospital staff are more inclined in wearing the more attractive and more comfy scrubs now be it nursing scrubs or scrub for men.  Thus, kids are more relaxed when they are brought in hospitals now. 

Btw, in case you want to buy high quality designer scrubs, the best lines are not found in stores, you can find them only online.  Just log on to skyscrubs.com and you’ll definitely find what you’re looking for!.

Bikers by the beach

I have always loved the beach.  This is one of the photos daughter took when we were in Candelaria, Zambales. It was about sunset time and these bikers caught her attention.  I love the scene and the way it was taken.  Daughter must be inspired in her photography.  I think she did a good job here.  Don’t you think so too?

Accidents happen even if you think you are safe

Our trip to the mall became a trip to an ER of a hospital.  I never realized that accidents could still happen even if you think you are safe. 

Yesterday, I was accompanying my M-i-l to the mall for her last days of shopping before she leaves for Australia.  As we were walking on the side of the road to catch an FX taxi, a jeepney bumped us from behind that made the two of us fall and my right foot was crushed by the front tire of the vehicle.  It seems like hell when I couldn’t pull my foot from under the tire and the driver was like a statue, unmoving.  It took him a long while before he heard me screaming to death.  Then the next thing I knew, I was brought inside SM Mall’s clinic in a wheel chair by the security guards of SM Fairview with M-i-l walking beside me. I was given first aid then rushed to the nearby FEU Hospital’s Emergency Room.  In the ER, we both underwent X-ray procedures and had the results right away.  We were very fortunate that nothing was so serious. Although I had big muscle contusions and deep abrasions on my ankle there was no broken bone seen.  I’m so  glad that I was taking supplements courtesy of my nephew.  It could be the big factor for my strong bones.  I was taking the supplement for more than a year now and it’s probably the reason why the cartilage in my ankle didn’t succumb to extreme impact of which ordinarily would result to bone damage. I’m doing well now so far even if foot is swollen.  Likewise with  M-i-l, she’s fine though her lip is swollen too.  Overall, I’m thankful that it wasn’t that serious at all.
