Foundations [lp]
Buildings are beautiful when they have great foundations. Come disasters for great structures with weak bases, they won’t be pretty anymore when they’re in heaps of rubble. Diba?
The reason why I’m pointing this out is because I heard Smart Buddy’s Me na Me radio ad earlier today and I thought that it didn’t promote such nice values.
The VO in the ad starts by asking kung strict ba parents ng nililigawan mo or something to that effect. The girl VO says “sorry ha, strict parents ko eh” in a pakipot way. Then the VO suggests na araw-arawin mo nalang sa telepono! Labo ha. Ligawan mo nalang sa text araw-araw, gabi-gabi.
Call me conservative. Whatever. I still think it wasn’t promoting the best of principles. So ano yun, never mind tradition to pay courtesy to the girl at home? Medyo hindi yata ako agree dun ah.
Sa huli nung ad sinagot nung girl yung lalaki. Okaaay.
Alarming lang what kind of values our kids are growing in these days. I know when I was younger and raging in teenage angst and hormones my parents worried about the same things. Pero ngayon, iba na eh. What with ingrained technology in our lifestyles. Text lang, pwede mo na ligawan. Mapapasagot mo pa. Eh hello, sa Facebook nga lang pwede ka na magka-gf/bf ng hindi mo pa nam-meet yung tao.
Like I said, foundations are what make a sound building. It won’t be beautiful if the base wasn’t strong.

tama ka jan at nakakatakot na ang medya ngayon ang may napakalakas na impluwensiya sa kabataan at siya pang, parang walang pakialam na naibibigay nilang epekto. Nakapunta ako ng Baguio pero hindi ko nakita ata eto hehehehe!

marites, tama ka tungkol sa media. pero nasa magulang din kasi ang pagc-control ng panonood ng mga bata diba? kami kasi hindi lumaki sa TV. pwedeng kamalasan namin yun, pero in a way ok na rin.
sa loob siya ng Camp John Hay.. sa susunod na punta ka ng Baguio, dun kayo mag-stay

i share with you the same “fear” of the times especially when it comes to raising kids, especially now that i have very young students to take care of. lalo na siguro kung anak ko na yun. kaya i admire your strength and courage as a mommy. aba, hindi biro ang magpalaki ng anak. and i think you’re doing a really great job with mia.
she’s blessed to have a mommy like you.

i agree, masyado nang casual ngayon yung mga ganyang bagay. and then people whine that they can’t find quality relationships, eh hindi naman sila nag-invest para gawing maayos. anyway, nice photo, HAPPY LP!!!

I know how you feel, it is such a challenge for parents to raise their kids.
I always like the old days, it is much more interesting to make ligaw for someone na kasama lahat ang pamilya ng nililigawan pag may dala-dalang chocolate, hahaha. Kasi it builds trust there.
It’s funny how my friends thru IRC met their gf/bf’s online – just a few private messages away and “kami na”. Labo.
