Hi! I grew up in a family of four. For 11 years, my father worked overseas. Sad to say, I have few childhood memories about him. My mother, on the other hand, was a stay-at-home mom. Though, she started working when my brother and...

simplychic My parents don't have favorites. They love us all. Maybe, in some situations, children think that their parents have favorites especially when one or two of them get the most attention from their parents. It's probably because needs differ from one another as...

I just met a person who said that he didn't believe in bad luck or good luck. He said that he makes his own luck. Personally I thought he was just all talk. I tried to ask him if he makes his own luck, how does he make it? He...

simplychic Just want to clear that it's never unfair to believe in God and in His blessings. When I said that good luck comes from God, I never said that bad luck comes from God's displeasure. It's you who thought that way. Everything in life has a purpose and everything...

simplychic In addition to that, good luck comes from God. Bad luck is what people say as the opposite of good luck but it's not. Because in a lottery, to win is good luck. But if we don't win, we should not consider it as bad luck, for it'd be ridiculous for everyone to...

simplychic Believing that good luck comes from God doesn't necessarily mean that bad luck comes from God's displeasure. That's just a connotation. Bad luck doesn't necessarily mean the opposite of good luck. Believing that good luck comes from God doesn't mean that our...

simplychic In my country, it has been a tradition to give gifts. However, it is still just an option if one can afford it. Giving gifts is one of the things that makes christmas, merry, but it's the thought that counts; so any gift, expensive or not, should be well...

simplychic I agree with bostonphil. The names have already been picked before hurricane season begins. To me, it doesn't matter whether they use a female's name or a male's name. What should bother us is the fact that hurricanes are strong enough to claim lives.

simplychic Personally and based from the experiences of people i know, i do believe in good luck and bad luck. I don't believe that we make our own luck. Good luck comes from God if it's meant for us. What we can only do is to strive hard to show to God how dedicated we...

simplychic We all know what is right and wrong. However, to some people, their right and wrong are different from what we know. So, telling someone he/she is wrong depends on whether i know the person or not and the wrong thing done. If it's someone i know very well...

My husband and I often talk about this because like most couples the one that leaves the house always thinks they have it tougher than the one that stays home. Here is my thing about it though, my job is 24/7, 365 days a year....

simplychic To me, staying home is more difficult than working, because even if one's work requires a big responsibility or stressful, work gives day-offs or rest days but working at home is a 7-days work and requires a lifetime of responsibility, commitment and...

Even though I can put trust to a friend still I can't rely to feel uneasy or having some doubts. Is this thing normal? I haven't had a lot friend to be with instead of this one.

simplychic Yes, it's very normal to feel that way even to a friend because it's just right not to give our full trust to anyone even to a friend. There's a saying that you can't trust anybody because it's really hard to tell whom to trust. To be safe, we should not tell...

simplychic yes, it would help if you stop the afternoon visits because everytime he sees you leave, it makes him upset. Visiting him in the afternoon for only a few minutes and leaving him again so soon will only make him more upset. Seeing him when you go home after...
