Ten Commandments For Raising Juvenile Delinquents

July 1, 2009

1. Do not condemn tobacco, liquor, drugs, the theater, the TV, gambling, jazz or rock music, long hair, miniskirts, and the like, so that your children will not become inhibited.
2. When your daughter comes home at midnight or your son arrives during the wee hours of the morning, do not ask where they had been or who had been their companions, so that you so not violate the privacy of their personal affairs.
3. Do not unbent from your parental dignity by engaging in such childish activities as playing with your children or discussing with them their plans, problems, or pleasures, so that they will not develop security, affection, or trust in you.
4. Do not waste time in family picnics, camping, vacations, or in taking your children to the zoo, the museum, the art gallery, the concerts, or to any other cultural places, so that you can use all your precious time in reaching the top most rung of the ladder in your chosen profession.
5. Give your children as much money as you possibly can for their needs as well as for their imaginary wants, so that they will learn the fine art of ostentatious spending and conspicuous consumption.
6. Surround your children with servants who are always ready to respond to their slightest back and call, and do not let your children do any work that will soil their beautiful soft hands, so that they will grow up to become dignified ladies and gentlemen.
7. When your children get into trouble with your neighbors, the school authorities, or the police, be sure always to side with your children, so that they will know that you really love them.
8. Send your children only to non-sectarian schools, so that they will get-rounded education when they are exposed to evolution, humanism, spiritism, liberalism, or atheism.
9. Do not mince words when you discuss your doubts regarding your table conversations so that your children will see that you are a parent with an independent mind. Or, better yet, criticize, the preacher, for the best dish you can serve for Sabbath or Sunday dinner is roasted pastor.
10. Conduct family worship only once in a while when it is convenient, or even eliminate it completely, so that your children will not get tired with too much religious instruction.

Then prepare yourself for a heart-rending grief as faithful obedience to these commandments guarantees 100 percent success in raising juvenile delinquents.

“HUMAYO KAYO AT MAGPAKARAMI!!” (In English: “Go and Multiply”)

GOD says to NOAH after the great flood. What does HE really means to that word? Does He mean to multiply in flesh or spread people’s faith?

That quote from the bible has been the excuse of Catholicism for not using contraception and banning abortion. Even sexual education.

We have to be realistic in life, staying virgin until you got married is very impossible to happen these days.

Teenagers are very impulsive and very eager to try new things and stuff.

Quick Steps to a Great Lunch

September 18, 2008

Whether you pack or buy your lunch, follow these guidelines:

1. Choose fruits and vegetables. Fruits and vegetables are like hitting the jackpot when it comes to nutrition. They make your plate more colorful and they’re packed with vitamins and fiber. It’s a good idea to eat at least five servings of fruits and vegetables every day, so try to fit in one or two at lunch. A serving isn’t a lot. A serving of carrots is ½ cup or about 6 baby carrots. A fruit serving could be one medium orange.
2. Know the facts about fat. Kids need some fat in their diets to stay healthy — it also helps keep you feeling full — but you don’t want to eat too much of it. Fat is found in butter, oils, cheese, nuts, and meats. Some higher-fat lunch foods include french fries, hot dogs, cheeseburgers, macaroni and cheese, and chicken nuggets. Don’t worry if you like these foods! No food is bad, but you may want to eat them less often and in smaller portions. Foods that are lower in fat are usually baked or grilled. Some of the best low-fat foods are fruits, vegetables, and skim and low-fat milk.
3. Let whole grains reign. “Grains” include breads, cereals, rice, and pasta. But as we learn more about good nutrition, it’s clear that whole grains are better than refined grains. What’s the difference? Brown rice is a whole grain, but white rice is not. Likewise, wheat bread contains whole grains, whereas 100% white bread does not.
4. Slurp sensibly. It’s not just about what you eat — drinks count, too! Milk has been a favorite lunchtime drink for a long time. If you don’t like milk, choose water. Avoid juice drinks and sodas.
5. Balance your lunch. When people talk about balanced meals, they mean meals that include a mix of food groups: some grains, some fruits, some vegetables, some meat or protein foods, and some dairy foods such as milk and cheese. Try to do this with your lunch. If you don’t have a variety of foods on your plate, it’s probably not balanced. A double order of french fries, for example, would not make for a balanced lunch.
6. Steer clear of packaged snacks. Many schools make salty snacks, candy, and soda available in the cafeteria or in vending machines. It’s OK to have these foods once in a while, but they shouldn’t be on your lunch menu.
7. Mix it up. Do you eat the same lunch every day? If that lunch is a hot dog, it’s time to change your routine. Keep your taste buds from getting bored and try something new. Eating lots of different kinds of food gives your body a variety of nutrients.
8. Quit the clean plate club. Because lunch can be a busy time, you might not stop to think whether you’re getting full. Try to listen to what your body is telling you. If you feel full, it’s OK to stop eating.
9. Use your manners. Cafeterias sometimes look like feeding time at the zoo. Don’t be an animal! Follow those simple rules your parents are always reminding you about: Chew with your mouth closed. Don’t talk and eat at the same time. Use your utensils. Put your napkin on your lap. Be polite. And don’t make fun of what someone else is eating.
10. Don’t drink milk and laugh at the same time! Whatever you do at lunch, don’t tell your friends a funny joke when they’re drinking milk. Before you know it, they’ll be laughing and that milk will be coming out their noses! Gross!
