I used to go out with my friends regularly, weekly the most. We have dinner and then go bar-hopping after. Sometimes we even eat breakfast before we go home. My parents are used to my going home in the morning. They knew my friends and are assured that I was in good company.

When my friend had her baby and then I followed a few months later, this changed. Yes, we still go out but this time we have to squeeze it in our busy schedules as working moms. Our other two friends also have their boyfriends so it can get tricky scheduling a date. We have to agree on a date that will work for all four of us.

Because of this limitation, months passed without seeing each other although we still keep in touch via email or IM. We miss each other’s company so when we finally find the time to meet up, it is sure to be lots of fun and we spend a long time just chatting and catching up with each other’s lives.

I love my friends and this is definitely one thing I miss about being single. But being a mother is so much worth it and I don’t regret being one. I’m just so thankful to be blessed with wonderful, understanding friends.

Most college students come from provinces thus personal finance becomes an issue to a good number of these teens. In some countries, parents shoulder all the expenses for college. But generally, not all parents can afford to take on the expenses and will need help from the teen himself to finance his studies. Here are some tips for teens that will embark on college life:

1. Check first if you will qualify for grants or scholarships. Loans should be a last resort to finance ones education. Scholarships are not of the same face. Some are based on academic achievements, some on financial capability.

2. Find out how to budget daily, weekly and monthly. Work around a plan as to how to save and to spend your money. As you go from month to month, you need to realize how to revise your budget plan as you discover your true expenses.

3. Work part time, if necessary. Most universities have programs for financially challenged students, making them student assistants for some departments like the library or the faculty. Working certain number of hours per month can help augment your monthly budget.

4. Do not buy brand new for the things you will need in school. You can borrow some of this stuff from friends and relatives. Others can be bought at reasonable costs from garage sales or from thrift stores. Or you can also buy items during back-to-school sales in department stores.

5. When using credit cards, have the discipline to use it intelligently. Always pay your balance on-time and in-full. Be sure to understand interest rates so that when you can not pay the bill on time or in full, you would know how much you will have to shoulder later.

6. If you can, cook your food and avoid eating out. Involve the rest of your room mates, so you can have certain days of the week as cook. Plan a menu for the week so that you can shop and cook accordingly. Buy a recipe book so you can have a variety of menus to work on week after week. Freeze leftovers that you can still re-heat sometime and enjoy as menu for that day. You will realize that eating out gobbles a large part of one’s budget. Families have recognized this fact early on. Eating out can easily double or triple your food budget if done more often than usual.

Before I met Marko, I was single for a looong time. I had lover(s) of course, but I preferred to fly solo. Which meant that I pretty much looked after myself. I was self sufficient and rather handy with a hammer.

However, ever since getting married, my DIY skills have deteriorated to a point where they are practically non-existent.

Marko has been away on a business trip this week, which means I have spent the entire week driving my car in total silence because my radio says it needs an access code and I have no idea what to do. I tried to read the instruction manual but it made me cross and irritated and so I gave up.

I have also not been able to print anything because there is a paper jam in my printer and I can’t see how to open the different compartments to get to the stuck piece of paper inside.

I used to know how to do stuff like that before I got married, now I just call Marko to do it for me. Marriage has made me soft and pathetic. It’s all his fault, obviously. Can’t possibly be mine.

Tertia is so right! I did just fine living alone, but I don’t think I’ve hung a picture since moving in with my boyfriend!

How about you?

Via So Close: Marriage makes you pathetic

Well according to newton’s first law in physics, Every object in motion continues to stay in the same till its acted upon by a external force. N The same law applies to Humans. We go on Doing things we like n don’t realize we are actually wrong till we get struck hard in the head n we come back to our senses, so here we go……for example, a Man, Married with 2 Children hangin out with another woman, Sleepin with her. He enjoys it and feels its right for him, but then comes his wife n BANG!!! Now hees back in line n real trouble for him!! So Remember, not to be the object in the Law but the External force!! Correct when needed.

Today its very hard to find someone saying thank you or may be a sorry when you make some small mistakes, well we always feel it’s a small thing so its ok, but no!!! the person feels awkward sometimes, imagine yourself in that position n you expect a thank you and then the opposite just walks away weird right? The same applies for sorry, you dash someone or you step on someone’s foot, just turn back n say sorry, you don’t loose anything for uttering those words so Just do it.

Flexibility is the Key to Success, well if you really want your relationship to survive its time to work flexible. Try to make small sacrifices like making time for each other, keeping your work in office itself and try not to get it home or if you are still forced plan you work out n see that you don’t do it when your partner needs some help at home. CAUSE REMBER, simple things count in Relations.

It’s early in the morning and I’m having my coffee. When I looked up the yard and saw the children playing.I remember my friends. The moments the we’ve shared still in my memory. How are they now? Are they still the same that they used to be?

I grab my cellular phone and called my friends. They are still my friends I know.The way they laughed, they talked, and their happy voice over the phone makies me remembered the past. When we used to stroll in the mall and spend time in one of our friend’s house were the usual activities we had. It’s our happy memories.

But If Iasked them if they are happy now with their life, some of them answered that they are still searching.Their life is incomplete and unhappy. It’s because they are still single and in their late 20’s.They are happy because they get their material possessions.But when they got home,they are longing for somebody to take care of them or someone whom called them to check if they are fine. They want a partner. A true and ideal one. Nowadays, it’s so hard to look for the one. Most men today are already in a relationship or some of them are gays. My friends are not that in a hurry but unfortunately there’s no man to choose at.They feel desperate and I cheer them up.

I told them to enjoy life first.It’s not yet too late. Maybe one day, the right guy will come in God’s time.
