Angels - explained by children....

Explained By Children

I only know the names of two angels, Hark and Harold.
-Gregory, age 5


Everybody's got it all wrong. Angels don't wear halos anymore. I forget why,?but scientists are working on it
-Olive, age 9


It's not easy to become an angel! First, you die.
Then you go to Heaven, and then there's still the flight training to go through. And then you got to agree to wear those angel clothes.
-Matthew, age 9


Angels work for God and watch over kids when God
has to go do something else.
-Mitchell, age 7


My guardian angel helps me with math, but he's not much good for science.
-Henry, age 8



Angels don't eat, but they drink milk from Holy Cows!!!
-Jack, age 6


Angels talk all the way while they're flying you up
to heaven. The main subject is where you went wrong before you got dead.
-Daniel, age 9


When an angel gets mad, he takes a deep breath and counts to ten. And when he lets out his breath again,? somewhere there's a tornado.
-Reagan, age 10


Angels have a lot to do and they keep very busy.
If you lose a tooth, an angel comes in through your window and leaves money under your pillow. Then when it gets cold, angels go south for the winter.
-Sara, age 6


Angels live in cloud houses made by God and his
son, who's a very good carpenter.
-Jared, age 8


All angels are girls because they gotta wear
dresses and boys didn't go for it.
-Antonio, age 9


My angel is my grandma who died last year. She got
a big head start on helping me while she was still down here on earth.
-Ashley ~ age 9


Some of the angels are in charge of helping heal
sick animals and pets. And if
they don't make the animals get better, they help the child get over it.
-Vicki, age 8


What I don't get about angels is why, when someone
is in love, they shoot arrows at them.
-Sarah, age 7

Proofreading-A Dying Art

Evidence that common sense has died.

Proofreading is a dying art, wouldn't you say?

Did I read that right?

A change for the worse???

Lately, I am feeling that I lost control of my life. I have no say in what is going on around me and I feel blue lots of times. I can find no peace at home and all my instincts just yell "run" to me but there's nothing much I can do about it.
Life has deteriorated. I am no longer my own boss. I feel like a cat on a hot tin roof all the time, just worrying about the time I take a wrong step and scald my paw or fall off the roof.
I feel like I'm caught in the middle and I do not know how to make my stand or even if I can make my own stand. Problem is this is NOT my home. I can't simply put my things anywhere I want or do anything I want as I wish.
I am now staying with my MIL and she makes it clear this is HER home and her RULES have to be abide.
I feel like I'm drowning. I am stressed out and the only place I can turn to and vent my frustrations, share my thoughts is here via my blog.
I somehow knew this would happen but well, I had agreed to move back here because I felt sorry for my MIL, since all this while she had been living alone and she's already 70 years old, and my hubby want to take care of his mother and be close to keep her company.
I am trapped. I do not know what to do. All I know is that I need to be patient, tolerant and keep out of everyone's way. How do I regain control of my life I wonder? No one knows how I feel. My husband do not know how I feel. For now, I am just grinning and bearing it... but for how long, I can take it, I really do not know...
How do I make my stand without ruffling anyone's feathers and make myself happy???? For now, it's only my books and getting online that allows me to maintain my sanity and calm my nerves.

Why we have to be caring and concern for our friends...

A mouse looked through the crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife open a package


"What food might this contain?" The mouse wondered.He was devastated to discover it was a mousetrap.

Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse proclaimed this warning : "There is a mousetrap in the house!There is a mousetrap in the house!"

The chicken clucked and scratched,raised her head and said, "Mr. Mouse, I can tell this is a grave concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me.I cannot be bothered by it."

The mouse turned to the pig and told him, "There is a mousetrap in the house!There is a mousetrap in the house!"

The pig sympathized, but said, "I am so very sorry, Mr. Mouse, but there is nothing I can do about it but pray..Be assured you are in my prayers."

The mouse turned to the cow and said,"There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!"

The cow said, "Wow, Mr. Mouse. I'm sorry for you,but it's no skin off my nose."

So, the mouse returned to the house, head down and dejected,to face the farmer's mousetrap . . .. Alone.. . ..

That very night a sound was heard throughout the house -- the sound Of a mousetrap catching its prey.

The farmer's wife rushed to see what was caught.In the darkness, she did not see it.
It was a venomous snake whose tail was caught in the trap.The snake bit the farmer's wife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital. When she returned home she still had a fever.Everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh chicken soup.

So the farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard for the soup's main ingredient:

But his wife's sickness continued.Friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock. To feed them,the farmer butchered the pig.

But, alas, the farmer's wife did not get well... She died.

So many people came for her funeral that the farmer had the cow slaughtered to provide enough meat for all of them for the funeral luncheon.

And the mouse looked upon it all from his crack in the wall with great sadness.

So, the next time you hear someone is facing a problem and you think it doesn't concern you, remember ---

When one of us is threatened, we are all at risk. We are all involved in this journey called life. We must keep an eye out for one another and make an extra effort to encourage one another.

Kids these days... sighhhh

Arggghhh... Am a little furious with kids these days... They are so self centred, and selfish at times. Never mind my own kids, my step kids, my nieces and nephews or my friend's kids and such. Their parents (myself included) have spoiled them beyond redemption. They have maids, handphones, computers, sometimes laptops, playstations, etc.. they have whatever they want and they are so lazy nowadays.

A fine example is this evening, not having any maid in the house since our maid absconded a couple of days ago, after spending a few back breaking hours preparing dinner for the breaking of fasting, and eating, I asked my niece and my step daughter to help with cleaning and washing up and would you just believe it, they just laughed and said no and went to the hall, with no guilt or sympathy at all!!

If I were to do that to my mother or so I would have had a tongue lashing if not a raw butt from being caned. They could have at least offered to clean the table or so but just totally avoided doing anything to help up cleaning up!!!

OH MY GAWD.. I really pray these kids study super hard to get good grades and be very successful in life and afford their own maids or else, I can't begin to imagine how their lives would be or if they get married to a very strict and traditional mother in law like mine is... (shudder)

*fume*... kids.... sighhh... they have no sense of responsibility, or helpfullness. Only seeking their parents if they want something that cost moolah!!! And that applies to even just my little 5 year old!!!!

HELPPPPP

Caning a woman/model for drinking beer??

PETALING JAYA: The case of model Kartika Sari Dewi Shukarno, who is to be caned for drinking beer, has caught international attention.


From Australia to Indonesia, Thailand, China, Germany, the United States and Britain, news of her impending sentence has thrust Kartika into the international limelight and into most blog chats.

CNN (Cable News Network), BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) and other leading television stations have also highlighted her case as one of the top stories of the day.

Err... I'm a freaky sex addict with a sexy smile who smoked with your dealer because I smoke crack..Hmmm

I went to my friend's blog read this, kinda got tagged since I read it and copied it and posting my answers here now...

First, add “I’m a/an” on your title, then add the rest of the answers on as you do the questions.

Current problems stressing me up..

It's not easy living with my M I L. She is a very complicated woman to live with. But we've promised to move and have also moved 70% of our things and backing out is not an option.
Living with her is like living with a lioness. Though tame, you never know when she will turn around and bite or in this case, snarl at you.

She has too many rules and regulations and well, wants everything done her way, compromise and such half forgotten. I'm already fastening my seat belt to hold on for a bumpy, a very bumpy ride and feeling like a cat tip toeing on a hot tin roof wondering when I'm gonna get burnt.

Women are impossible to please.... LOL

A store that sells husbands has just opened in New York City , where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates.

You may visit the store ONLY ONCE!

There are six floors and the attributes of the men increase as the shopper ascends the flights. There is, however, a catch .... You may choose any man from a particular floor, or you may choose to go up a floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!

So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband. On the first floor the sign on the door reads:
Floor 1 - These men have jobs and love God

The second floor sign reads:
Floor 2 - These men have jobs, love God, and love kids.

The third floor sign reads:
Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love God, love kids and are extremely good looking.

'Wow,' she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going. She goes to the fourth floor and sign reads:

Floor 4 - These men have jobs, love God, love kids, are drop- dead good looking and help with the housework.

'Oh, mercy me!' she exclaims, 'I can hardly stand it!' Still, she goes to the fifth floor and sign reads:

Floor 5 - These men have jobs, love God, love kids, are drop- dead gorgeous, help with the housework, and have a strong romantic streak.

She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor and the sign reads:

Floor 6 - You are visitor 4,363,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store. Watch your step as you exit the building, and have a nice day!

Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince

I'm and have been a Harry Potter fan. I've read all 7 books... and watched all the instalments of the movie and wanting to watch more.
I watched the latest movie on the day it came out here in Malaysia, on my own, skipping work to do so and again with my daughter barely 6 days later.
She loved it and I loved it too...
Try not to miss it if you're a HP fan or even a fan of fantasy stories and such..

Sypnosis : Having returned to power, Death Eaters attack both the Muggle and Wizarding worlds. Lord Voldemort has given Draco Malfoy an assignment. Bellatrix Lestrange goads Severus Snape into making an Unbreakable Vow with Draco's mother, Narcissa, to protect Draco while he works and to carry out the assignment if he fails. Scarred by his experience at the Ministry of Magic with Voldemort, Harry is reluctant to return to school. Dumbledore encourages Harry to continue and takes his help in enticing former Potions Professor Horace Slughorn to return to Hogwarts. Later, while leaving Fred and George's new shop in Diagon Alley, Harry, Ron and Hermione notice Draco associating Death Eaters in Borgin and Burkes, leaving Harry suspicious.

At Hogwarts, Harry and Ron borrow textbooks from the school for Slughorn's Potions class. The previous owner of Harry's copy, the "Half-Blood Prince", has annotated the book with additional instructions and spellcraft that allow Harry to excel in class and win a vial of the luck potion Felix Felicis. Ron becomes a Gryffindor Quidditch hero and attracts the love of Lavender Brown, leaving Hermione heartbroken. Harry is similarly distraught over Ginny Weasley's attraction to Dean Thomas. Harry spends Christmas Break with the Weasleys, during which he discusses the situation at Hogwarts with Order of the Phoenix members Arthur Weasley, Remus Lupin, and Nymphadora Tonks. Bellatrix Lestrange and Fenrir Greyback attack the Burrow and attempt to kidnap Harry. The Order are able to keep everyone safe, but the Burrow goes up in flames.

Draco continues to elude Harry while perfecting the use of a Vanishing Cabinet inside the Room of Requirement. Harry suspects Draco is behind two attempts on Dumbledore's life: one through a cursed necklace (which accidentally hospitalizes Katie Bell), and another through a bottle of poisoned mead (which nearly kills Ron). In a confrontation, Harry duels Draco and uses a curse from the Half-Blood Prince's book which severely injures him. Snape heals Draco while Harry retreats. Ginny convinces Harry to leave the book in the Room of Requirement to prevent using it ever again. While Harry closes his eyes, Ginny hides the book and kisses him.

During private meetings, Dumbledore shows Harry memories of a Tom Riddle (Voldemort's alias) and reveals Slughorn retains a memory critical to Voldemort's defeat. Harry manages to retrieve the memory using Felix Felicis. The memory reveals that Voldemort had been seeking information creating seven Horcruxes, devices that safeguard a portion of the creator's soul, thereby granting him immortality until the Horcruxes are destroyed. Dumbledore recognizes that two of Voldemort's horcruxes, Tom Riddle's diary, and his mother's ring. After locating another Horcrux, Dumbledore requests Harry's help to retrieve it. Deep inside a seaside cave, Harry is forced to make Dumbledore drink a foul, mind-altering potion that hides the Horcrux, a locket. Though gravely weakened by the liquid, Dumbledore is able to defend them from a horde of Inferi and Apparates himself and Harry back to the Astronomy Tower at Hogwarts.

Once there, Dumbledore first tells Harry to fetch Snape for help, but tells him to hide when footsteps approach. Draco appears and reveals that Voldemort has chosen him to kill Dumbledore, but is unable to follow through. Snape arrives, motions to Harry to stay hidden, and joins the throng of Death Eaters that arrive through the Vanishing Cabinet and surround Draco as he hesitates. To Harry's horror, Snape casts the Avada Kedavra curse to murder Dumbledore and then escapes the castle with the other Death Eaters. In their wake, they cast the Dark Mark, destroy the Great Hall, and set fire to Hagrid's Hut. Harry tries to stop them, but Snape deflects Harry's spells and stuns him. Before departing, Snape reveals to Harry that he is the Half-Blood Prince.

While Hogwarts mourns Dumbledore's death, Harry reveals to Ron and Hermione that the locket Horcrux was a fake. The locket contains a message from an "R.A.B." stating he has already taken the real Horcrux and hopes to destroy both it and Voldemort. Rather than return for their final year at Hogwarts, Harry and his friends vow to seek out R.A.B. and the remaining Horcruxes as Dumbledore's phoenix, Fawkes, flies into the horizon.
