Imagine my surprise when I heard this on TV.. Rihanna went back to the guy who abused her. I understand if she forgave him, but not to go back to him! Seeing her beaten up face, why did she bury the hatchet?! They were seen having a vacation in Florida! As if nothing happened. As if nobody knows..

Praising your children for being intelligent can sometimes be bad for them. But praising them for their efforts can be better.

Studies show that complimenting your child for the effort that he made influences him to take risks, enjoying himself in the process. Children praised for being smart tend to choose challenges that they think they can manage. They decline difficult tests and if given, they become upset or discouraged.

Got free flights from Philippine Airlines. How? Well, you need patience and a lot of time.

My family and I had a flight to Singapore, I suppose the plane was overbooked. PAL announced if there are people or families who are willing to exchange their seats with seats fin the next flight (around 4 hours of waiting).

As compensation, you are given a voucher for a free flight within the year and you can go anywhere (for as long as it is equal to the miles of your original flight).

The Pangandaman vs. Dela Paz controversy is still alive. Accusations are thrown back and forth. Cases were filed. But where will it go? Personally, just like in any other “big story” it will fade away. I mean, I don’t like that to happen but it is how the world of politics in the Philippines goes.

Media is a huge help for people who needs their stories to be heard, to tell everyone how politicians use their powers unjustly. But after sometime, there will be a new “big story” and your story will not be in the headlines anymore- it can fade slowly or in a snap. In Jun Lozada’s case, he isn’t in the newspapers or the primetime news anymore. Filipinos move on so fast.

Sometimes, the government intentionally makes a news-worthy event to cover up unfavorable stories about them. The Pangandamans are quite influential. Hopefully, people in the courts will have no bias. People may move on but the courts will handle this, for years I presume.
