I visited my friend in their office this late afternoon. It’s been a while we didn’t talked and see each other because of our both hectic schedule. She looks tired and don’t have enough sleep because her son was sick for a week until now. We took dinner and she shared her feelings about her son who’s been sick because of the present climate here in our country. She’s worried about her son and her self too. Being a single mother is hard. Her son growing up so fast without a father figure. She asked me if she needs to get married? I told her “yes” for her good and her son as well. She needs a husband who will take care and support them emotionally and financially. She told me that after the first birthday of her son, her sons father never bother to visit her son before going abroad. I realize, I’m still lucky because the father of my children is responsible enough to take care and support their needs. I thank God for I don’t experience such hard time. We all have different problems and situation in life. All we have to do is to hold on and be strong and have faith in God. Life is a game of cards, we have to play the hand we are dealt. “Blessed are those who endure when they are tested. when they pass the test, they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.” To my friend, I’m always here for you if you need a shoulder to cry on… Lets work hard to pass the test in our life.

Some people get a feeling of well-being and superior from criticizing their friends. If you are afflicted with that plague, divest yourself of the infection as soon as possible. If it is very painful for you to criticize your friends, you are safe in doing it. But if you take the slightest pleasure in it, that is the time to hold your tongue. Sometimes being a human I did criticizing and they did as well. Well, all is said and done, a large part of our success at love will depend on our ability to accept human nature as it is. The judgmental temperament never generates much affection. “Judge not, that ye be not judged.” We all makes mistakes, but every one makes different mistakes. And one has to grow older to become more tolerant. God himself, said not to judge a man until his life is over. Why should we? I’m not telling you not to express an opinion. No, we all have our own opinion and lets be opinionated! Express our individuality as loudly as we need to. But be sure to give our friends and people around us the same privilege. Assertiveness is okay as long as it is not a crucial criticism. Good criticism encourages people and it helps me to grow.

I went to a dermatologist yesterday for my skin allergy. I never had an skin allergy since birth. I’m so uncomfortable for having it now, I’m wondering why my skin is so sensitive. According to the doctor it is due to stress. Stress and emotional instability can cause this disease. Oh my God! It’s a disease of mine? I’m so uncomfortable feeling itchiness. I have unconscious compulsive picking or scratching habit, and at times the tendency is so persistent and pronounced that scratches on the skin are produced. It manifest itself on the skin as very itchy red rashes which, if present for a long time, may produce thickened skin as a result of constant scratching that exactly happens to me. I have to follow the doctors prescriptions not to eat my favorite seafood and some food that might trigger my allergy. An interesting fact about this disease is there is an increased incidence among single or widowed people. Ouch! because of singleness I have this allergy? Good luck to me.
