For the Family Oriented People

[Ms.Beau]

Not So OT:

ahaha edgeowns i never thought you'd allude to that ym chat we had? gi dibdib jud diay to nimo bro? peez!

no, my comments are not about siding with a friend. if it were so, i would have sided with you as you're "closer" to me than junmar is (kay wala man mi nag chat anang junmar, not even once. mas friend pa lagi tika)

Now if you'll consider my comments again, bro, you'll see that they are sensible questions from which a stimulating and healthy exchange of thoughts can come. but unfortunately, you are not open to such a discussion. sure you can screen responses here as you are the threadstarter but i just think you started with a broad topic--too broad for the responses you'd like to get. too broad for the responses you can actually tolerate.

i have made my point already...i dont see the need to comment any further. i'm outta here...see me in other threads...dont worry, i wont persecute you there. (<--third wink. see? i like you even more now)

OK lets leave it at that. Have a nice day.

For people who got used to live with there family of course they value it like me., but sharing is good you have to share your love to others., peace out.,

[T1CODE]

well i value my family so much too eventhough theyre strict.
mura japun ko baby sa amoa.

one of the reason why i didnt leave home to go abroad is i need my parents, i love them even if i didnt show it.

[junenine]

I am raising my kids the way I was raised by my parents. The tough love and support that they gave me are now my guide to raise my own family. I hope that someday my kids will do the same.

I hope im not out of context here.... but let me share this hint of family orientation.

me and my siblings get together every weekend for one common activity---- badminton! This was a venue where we get to bond again and again even though we are all married and with kids...... Sibling rivalry is still slightly present but when you mix it with friends and relatives by affinity and consanguanity (yup in-laws are encouraged to join) it is gone....

If you desire to keep in touch with your family, find something common that can make you stay together.

We chose badminton because we inherit our parents' genes that includes the 2 (or 3 I think) major health problems of the country. So it was just timely that this sport became popular and we all can play and made into a regular family affair. Thus our problem became opportunity.... to avoid any further conflicts, equal division of paymnet sa court, etc. Strict house rule. And every end of the affair, we siblings never forget to give bear hugs to each other like there is no tomorrow. (Since I mentioned it you can image our sizes hehehe)

Moreover being family oriented means you learn from your family and at least share the lessons. Things i've learned from my family:

Keeping in touch is important.... even though it is over the phone (we have a sister in the US).... So is active listening....

Love is both tough and soft within the family..... We have to be firm so that the other may grow.... We have to be soft to ease the pain...

Turn problems into opportunities....

Amen... God bless us all!!!!

I thank God my family isn't really problematic and dysfunctional. Sure there are a few chinks every now and then. Thank God for my father who's just very responsible and free of vices. Thank God for a mother who's quite tough and wise to deal with us alone even if my pop's out there. Thank God for siblings who aren't a pain in the behind.

I wanna build on on their success. Gonna be the best husband and dad there is.

[vladmire]

its really hard to be apart from your loveones. especially when your used to be with them. so sad, but its true. we have to move....

[christa]

yeah, every family has its own story to tell..ours isnt the best, but we survived..

family first jud ko... bsag unsa pa na..ako parents ug mga manghud jud na ako huna-hunaon..




my famiily is my strongest and weakest link..

[yokam]

So who else here is very family oriented? Who cant live without family... Who feels depressed after the end of every after reunions...

Life is a series of constant hellos and goodbyes so try to learn to control your emotions.
