Kids can say or do the darnest of things. These things can either bring smiles to our faces, or could piss us off. But we have to admit, we went through the same silliness back when we were still kids. I for one am guilty of doing ridiculous things!

1. Beg to death - Back then, I would always cry for the simplest of reasons. It’s not that I would want to make my parents life a living hell, but, I am customized to get what I always wanted. If I want a toy that they wouldn’t give me, I would cry out loud until they do. I realized now that I was a spoiled kid and I hope they don’t do that to me in the future when I am the one taking care of them already.
2. Office calls - I habitually call my dad or mom’s office from time to time and when someone answers the phone, I would just say, “where is my mom?”, her secretary would just hand over the phone to my mom because she knows me. One day, his boss answered the phone. Good thing he was witty and as I remember it clearly, he said to me, “There is no one here by that name (Mommy)”.

3. Playing with anything – We as kids would play with anything. We like to touch to satisfy the urge of our curious minds. One day at the mall, we were at the department store and while mom was choosing a dress, I went to the side where there were small rooms with cloth doors. I know you know what that is and guess what? I ran from one door to another, opening those cloth curtains without knowing that those were fitting rooms. The guys there must have thanked me a lot!
4. Pets – Kids like pets, especially dogs. But having a mom who doesn’t like one make kids sad and missing the opportunity to play with one, kids consider alternatives. We have this love bird and of course, I have to attach a string to the bird’s feet so it wouldn’t fly away. Since I can’t play with the bird like a dog, I attached the bird to a remote controlled vehicle just like in one of the Home Alone series and throttled it away. I guess the birds in the movies are not as wise as it is in reality. It got dragged and was killed. I told my mom a cat ate it. Lame excuse, I know.

5. Curiosity – Kids are very curious about anything and as I’ve mentioned in one of the numbers above, kids like to touch everything and ask about anything. Outside the school, there was 2 stray dogs humping like there was no tomorrow. We just stood there watching them without knowing what the hell they are doing. At home, I described it to my mom and she said that they were making puppies. One night, I saw my parents room open and guess what, they were making… Puppies!!!

Of course, the last one was made up and is just something to laugh at. But then, I simply laugh at myself as I remember these things. Just imagine how embarrassing I was to my mom! But hey, because I was still a kid back then, the excuse of being childish is always valid.

What to cook? Do you always stumble upon that problem from time to time? Do you want to quit and just dine out because your family is tired of eating the same food you’ve been making for them for the past few months?

I personally know how tiring this is because I am the one cooking meals at home. Running out of ideas on what to cook and sometimes, a bigger challenge comes. Limited resources from the refrigerator.  I got this wonderful site for all of you readers.

It is called, cooking by the numbers. You just tick the check box on whatever food you have on your refrigerator and, bam! that website makes a recipe for you to do using just the resources you have. It is time to unleash the chef inside of you!

“Oyster” and “mini skirt” are words that one would probably have a hard time associating with each other, but with the strange world our society has now evolved into, the fashion industry did not fail to come up with strange ideas that have kept its audience amazed and, well, speechless on more occasions than one.

It seems to me that many people are gifted with an uncanny ability to express their artistic skills while completely changing, if not defeating, the purpose of apparel. To demonstrate to you what I mean, check out these three dresses that nobody in the 20th century would probably dare to wear.

1.    Web vest- Want to help your parents in cleaning the old house? Well, this man from Yuan province in China made a one-kilogram clothes that is made up of 300 pieces of cobwebs. Apparently, clothes made up of cobwebs are not unusual for Kucong tribe, an ethnic minority neighbouring his region in the province. According to Zheng, the designer of this vest, Kucong people were so poor in the past that their clothes were mostly made of cobwebs and banana trees leaves.

2.    Dissolvable Dress- With the knowledge of organic chemistry and a little bit of fashion sense, Professor Helen Storey and Professor Tony Ryan invented the world’s first dissolvable dress. The fabric is made from a clear polymer, polyvinyl alcohol. According to an article, the dresses dissolve at a pace that they will be able to survive a sweaty party. In an upcoming exhibition, eight dissolvable dresses will be put into enormous goldfish bowls where they will slowly liquefy– now that’s one exhibition scientists and non-scientists can attend without any qualms.

3.    Lettuce Lingerie- need I say more?

It amazes me how people don’t seem to run out of ideas, no matter how incredible or weird. These strange clothing are far from being a public statement, however they become a tool for artists, as well as scientists, to express their individuality and “resourcefulness”. Not only do these trends raise environment awareness (see third picture of this article), they certainly provide us with a lot of entertainment.

Being a housewife is like having a day job. The only difference is this one is harder. You must be willing to be hated until they need five dollars. Screening phone calls is much needed too while coordinating production of multiply assignments. Being a housewife, you will also need to maintain the floor and do janitorial work throughout the facility.

Sadly, this job has no place for advancement. Actually, you need to remain in the same position for years while continuously updating your skills. The worst part is yet to come. How much would you get paid? Get this! You pay them! A noticeable increase in payment will occur 18 years after because of the assumption that college will make them financially independent. No benefits, pensions and any reimbursement. Free hugs and kisses though if you do your job right. So, without further ado, I would like you to know these home remedies to increase your skills at home! By the way, these remedies are what NOT TO DO!

1. If you are choking on an ice cube, don’t panic. Simply pour a cup of boiling water down your throat and presto. The blockage will be almost instantly removed.

2. For high blood pressure sufferers: simply cut yourself and bleed for a few minutes, thus reducing the pressure in your veins. Remember to use a timer.

3. If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of laxatives, then you will be afraid to cough.

4. Have a bad toothache? Smash your thumb with a hammer and you will forget about the toothache.

5. Clumsy? Avoid cutting yourself while slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them while you chop away.

Have you ever noticed the people watching in movie theaters does different things while others enjoy the movie? Glancing around while the movie was playing, some people actually do sleep inside the theater. The seats must be too comfortable that they choose to rest inside theaters. Some eat popcorn one handful at a time and others? They watch the movie intensely I can see their eyes not blinking at all.

While others do those stuffs inside the movie house, why do you suppose I stared around? It was because the movie “The Happening”, was that bad. I wouldn’t recommend you readers watching it. First of all, it was a waste of money, unless you want to sleep inside the theater. Next, it has all sorts of bad stuffs. Bad screenplay, deplorable acting and stupid plot.

I was wishing I watched Sex and the city the second time around!
