			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="justify">Mga 5 years ago, naalala ko may lalaking nagtanong sa akin sa chatroom. </p>
<blockquote><p align="justify"><em>“Mamaru, paano ko ba malalaman kung yung babae ay magiging mabuting ina in the future? Eh kasi inlab talaga ako at malay mo magkatuluyan kami ng gerlpren ko ngayon.</em> <img src='http://www.maruism.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  “ </p>
</blockquote>
<p align="justify">Susme! Ako pa ang tinanong na isa’t kalahating lukaret pag kinakausap. Naalala ko, sinagot ko ang tanong nya ng walang kwentang tanong din na may kasamang pang-aasar. <em>“Tapatin mo ko,&#160; ano ba talaga hanap mo? Gerlpren o Nanay? Bah! At asa ka pang pakakasalan ka ha!</em>!”</p>
<p align="justify">Wala akong matinong maisagot noon. Trulili lang, kahit na nanay na ako eh hindi ko pa rin alam kung paano ba talaga ang maging isang mabuting ina. Ang alam ko lang ay isa akong maganda, kahali-halina, kanasa-nasa&#160; at katange-tangeng ina. Choos! </p>
<p align="justify">Tsaka mahirap sagutin ang ganung tanong dahil hindi naman ibig sabihin na kung ok kayo ng girlfriend na ka-relasyon mo ngayon, it will follow na magiging ok din syang asawa o ina in the future. Baka nga&#160; sexy, matalino&#160; at adventurous ang syota mo ngayon at magkasundong-magkasundo kayo. Kaso hindi naman yan lang ang kelangan na mga katangian para maging&#160; mabuting ina.&#160; Siempre kelangan hanapin mo rin yung mapagkalinga, maaasahan, praktikal, at mapagmahal na babae para maging nanay ng mga tsikiting mo. </p>
<p align="justify">Sa ngayon, meron na akong pwedeng i-share (lalo na sa mga single male readers ko) na mga palantandaan. Teka baliktarin ko, mga palatandaan o SIGN na baka <strong>HINDI</strong> maging mabuting ina ang syota mo in da future. Oist teka! Liliwanagin ko, pananaw ko lang ‘to ha?&#160;&#160;&#160; </p>
<p align="justify">HINDI magiging mabuting ina ang babae kung:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<div align="justify"><strong>AYAW NG ANAK</strong> – Kelangan pa bang i-memorize yan? It’s no-brainer, eh ayaw ng anak, natural ayaw maging ina. Pag sinabi ng syota mo na ayaw nya ng anak, paniwalaan mo! Huwag mong pilitin at isipin na sige lang at baka lumabas yung maternal instinct nya pag kasal na kayo at nagka-baby na. Haleer! Hindi laging ganun yun, mga kuya! Pag allergic&#160; sa bata o baby ang syota mo, aasa ka pa bang magiging mabuting ina sya? </div>
</li>
<li>
<div align="justify"><strong>GIMIKERA </strong>–&#160; Pag ang syota mo ay sosyalera, party animal, laman lagi ng mga bar, napapraning pag hindi nakakagimik pag weekend at nabo-bore pag nasa bahay lang &#8211; maalarma ka na! Walang masama sa pag-gimik. Pero ang matinong girlfriend dapat marunong makipag-kompromiso na kelangan rendahan nya ang&#160; sarili sa nakakasanayang madalas at sobrang sosyalan. If your gf won’t compromise sa ngayon pa lang, sa tingin mo ba makikipagkompromiso sya pag mag-asawa na kayo at may beybi na? Baka katakot-takot na away lang ang mangyari sa inyo.</div>
</li>
<li>
<div align="justify"><strong>MAKASARILI </strong>– Sabi nga nila ( sabi ko na rin), ang isang mabuting magulang, uunahin at uunahin lagi ang kapakanan ng anak o pamilya sa anumang pagkakataon. Kung ang syota mo ay may ipinapakitang ugali na puro sarili lang nya ang inuuna at&#160; inaatupag, spoiled brat at childish,&#160; may chances na pag nagkatuluyan kayo…magiging kaawa-awa lang ang anak ninyo. Susme! Pag self-centered si partner mo, baka pagselosan pa nya mismo ang sariling anak nya bilang kaagaw sa pagmamahal at atensyon mo.</div>
</li>
<li>
<div align="justify"><strong>MAY BISYO</strong> -&#160; Kelangan ng mga lalaki ang nanay ng anak nila ay isang responsable. Pero paano magiging responsable ang isang ina kung may bisyong kinahuhumalingan? May mga babae talaga na tipong self-destructive. Yun bang kaskasera kung mag-drive ng sasakyan, sugarol, adik sa droga o kaya lasengga. Natural ayaw mo na kamulatan ng mga junakis mo ang ganung mga senaryo and worse, malamang maipasa pa nga sa kanila ang ganung masamang bisyo. Nakakatakot di ba?</div>
</li>
<li>
<div align="justify"><strong>WALANG PASENSYA</strong> – Walang karapatan maging nanay ang babaeng walang pasensya. Sa mga readers na kapwa ko nanay, I am sure agree kayo sa akin na lahat ng mga bata ay KSP. Gusto nila yung atensyon at pagmamahal mo sa kanila ay constant. Most of the time, kids are unreasonable and they don’t listen. Para maintindihan ka nila, kelangan paulit-ulit mo silang pagsasabihan. Josko! Andun pang mga sumpungin ang mga linsyak, di ba? Susubukan talaga nila kung hanggang saan ang pasensya mo sa kakulitan at pagiging pasaway nila.&#160; Kaya kung ang babae ay walang pasensya, haysus! kalimutan mo na lang mag-anak. </div>
</li>
<li>
<div align="justify"><strong>BAYOLENTE </strong>– Take note, mga ‘pre. Eto na ang PINAKA! Pag ang syota mo ay nanakit tuwing may away kayo o kaya sabihin na natin na bayolente pag bad trip sya – ay naku! hiwalayan mo na! Wag ka na mag anu-ano pa diyan, iwan mo na! Kasi ang ganyang arte ng syota mo, palatandaan na hindi pwede maging nanay ng mga anak mo. Tandaan mo, responsibilidad ng magulang&#160; ang i-provide ng safe environment ang mga junakis nila habang lumalaki. Gugustuhin mo bang mai-expose sa pisikal at mental abuse ang mga anak mo mismo sa loob ng bahay nyo habang lumalaki?</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Ayoko na maghintay ng <strong>Mother&#8217;s Day</strong> sa <strong>May</strong> para i-share &#8216;tong <em>something inspirational</em> chuva chenes para sa mga kapwa ko madir ober der awt der.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Nagandahan kasi ako. Enways,  this post is dedicated to all women &#8230;and I hope <strong><span style="color: #800000;">I</span></strong> like it. <em>Nyahaha!</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">oOo</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800000;"><span style="color: #000000;">Once upon a time, there was a child ready to be born. The child asked God,</span> </span><em><span style="color: #800000;">&#8220;They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how I am going to live there being so small and helpless?&#8217;</span></em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800000;"><span style="color: #000000;">God replied,</span> &#8220;</span><em><span style="color: #800000;">Among the many angels, I chose one for you. Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you.&#8221;</span></em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800000;"><span style="color: #000000;">The child further inquired</span>, </span><em><span style="color: #800000;">&#8220;But tell me, here in heaven I don&#8217;t have to do anything but sing and smile to be happy.&#8221;</span></em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800000;"><span style="color: #000000;">God said</span>, </span><em><span style="color: #800000;">&#8220;Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you every day. And you will feel your angel&#8217;s love and be very happy.&#8221;</span></em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800000;"><span style="color: #000000;">Again, the child asked:</span> </span><em><span style="color: #800000;">&#8220;And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me if I don&#8217;t know the language?&#8221;</span></em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800000;"><span style="color: #000000;">God said</span>, </span><em><span style="color: #800000;">&#8220;Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak.&#8221;</span></em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em><span style="color: #800000;">&#8220;And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?&#8221;</span></em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800000;"><span style="color: #000000;">God said,</span> </span><em><span style="color: #800000;">&#8220;Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray.&#8221;</span></em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em><span style="color: #800000;">&#8220;I&#8217;ve heard that on Earth there are bad men. Who will protect me?&#8221;</span></em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800000;"><span style="color: #000000;">God said</span>, </span><em><span style="color: #800000;">&#8220;Your angel will defend you even if it means risking it&#8217;s life.&#8221;</span></em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em><span style="color: #800000;">&#8220;But I always be sad because I will not see you anymore.&#8221;</span></em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800000;"><span style="color: #000000;">God said</span>, </span><em><span style="color: #800000;">&#8220;Your angel will always talk to you about me and will teach you the way to come back to me, even though I will always be next to you.&#8221;</span></em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800000;"><span style="color: #000000;">At that moment, there was much peace in heaven, but voices from Earth could be heard and the child hurriedly asked</span>: </span><em><span style="color: #800000;">&#8220;God, if I am to leave now, please tell me my angel&#8217;s name.&#8221;</span></em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em><span style="color: #800000;">&#8220;Her name is not important. You will simply call her </span><strong><span style="color: #800000;">Mom</span></strong><span style="color: #800000;">.&#8221;</span></em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.maruism.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/teenage-acne.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-5369" style="margin-left: 9px; margin-right: 9px;" title="teenage acne" src="http://www.maruism.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/teenage-acne.jpg" alt="teenage acne" width="227" height="189" /></a>I am a proud parent of a teenage girl. And just like any normal teens, my 13-year-old Keziah have worries too, like having occasional teen acne breakout on her face.  As a mom, I always try to explain to her that she is not alone, that acne strikes all teenagers equally regardless of sex, race or ethnicity. I explained further that acne generally begins between the ages of 10 and 13 and that she need not worry because in most cases, acne resolve or disappear by the time the person is in his or her 20’s.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-5368"></span>Just like any common girl, my Keziah cannot help but get upset when she sees the acne starts to appear especially on her forehead. I am aware that teens are more likely to seek the <a href="http://www.acnexus.com/" target="_blank"><em>best acne treatment</em></a> in an attempt to speed clearing that is why I always make an effort for her to understand that all acne medications, including over-the-counter remedies, must be used as directed only. So far, she is doing well, using a topical acne medication now.</p>

However, a home may also be a pool of chaos. There are always kids to watch and guard, house helps to supervise, visitors to entertain, unending errands and house chores to be done.</p>
<p>For dedicated moms like me out there, why not grab the best <a href="http://www.shermanstravel.com/" target="_blank">travel deals</a> that some airline offers today and break free? Take a short retreat away from home &#8211; alone! I know getting away from home’s familiar mess will not be an easy task but sometimes we just need to…it will be good for our soul.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">Kung nagawi na kayo sa blog na<a href="http://tunaynalalake.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"> HAY!MEN!,</a> siguradong nabasa nyo na rin &#8216;tong <em>manifesto ng tunay na lalake</em> na nakabalandra sa sidebar nila dun.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">MANIFESTO NG TUNAY NA LALAKE</span></strong></p>
<ol>
<li><em><span style="color: #008000;">Ang tunay na lalake ay di natutulog.</span></em></li>
<li><em><span style="color: #008000;">Ang tunay na lalake ay di nagte-text-back, maliban na lang kung papasahan ng load. Gayunpaman, laging malabo ang kanyang mga sagot.</span></em></li>
<li><em><span style="color: #008000;">Ang tunay na lalake ay laging may extra rice.</span></em></li>
<li><em><span style="color: #008000;">Ang tunay na lalake ay hindi vegetarian.</span></em></li>
<li><em><span style="color: #008000;">Ang tunay na lalake ay walang abs.</span></em></li>
<li><em><span style="color: #008000;">Ang tunay na lalake ay hindi sumasayaw.</span></em></li>
<li><em><span style="color: #008000;">Ang tunay na lalake ay umaamin ng pagkakamali sa kapwa tunay na lalake.</span></em></li>
<li><em><span style="color: #008000;">Ang tunay na lalake ay laging may tae sa brief.</span></em></li>
<li><em><span style="color: #008000;">Ang tunay na lalake ay di naghuhugas ng pinagkainan o nagliligpit ng kanyang mga gamit dahil may babaeng gagawa noon para sa kanya. Mas lalong nagiging tunay ang pagkalalake kung di niya kilala o di niya maalala ang pangalan ng babae.</span></em></li>
<li><em><span style="color: #008000;">Ang tunay na lalake ay di nagsisimba.</span></em></li>
</ol>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Hindi ko maiwasan na hindi &#8216;to i-blog dahil sa nadiskubre ko kaninang umaga habang nilalabhan ko ang mga maruruming damit ng only bigatin son kong si Kevin (18 years old).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-5021"></span>Kung pagbabasehan ko ang nakasaad na manifesto ng tunay na lalake sa itaas, walang kaduda-duda  at sientoporsiento, TUNAY NA LALAKE ang unico hijo ko!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">At bakit ko nasabi? Paano ako nakakasiguro?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Dahil yun DITO!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-5022 aligncenter" title="skidmark" src="http://www.maruism.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/skidmark.jpg" alt="skidmark" width="309" height="268" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em><span style="color: #008000;">&#8220;8. Ang tunay na lalake ay laging may tae sa brief.&#8221;</span></em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">Pasok na pasok sa Manifesto # 8 ang anak ko!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Okinams!! </em>Muntik na ako himatayin sa gulat. Hindi ko alam kung magmumura ako kanina o matutuwa. Pero mas pinilit ko na lang na matuwa dahil napatunayan kong isang tunay na lalake ang panganay ko! Yey! Wahaha!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Wala na akong masabi. Sa totoo lang, isa &#8216;to sa mga hindi ko maintindihan sa mga lalake! Ayuf talaga!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Jos ko! </em>Wag lang din sana mabasa ng anak ko ang blog kong &#8216;to at lagot ako.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Enways, ikaw? Tunay ka bang lalake?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">P.S.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Hindi ko nakunan ng piktyur ang aktwal na brip ng anak ko dahil sa totoo lang ayaw ko tingnan. Hinugot ko lang sa <em>Google</em> ang piktyur na yan sa itaas. Pero parang ganun na ganun yun. Lol!</p>

<p align="justify">Nag umpisa ako magluto ng 12 ng tanghali at natapos ako ng mga alas-5 ng hapon. Graveeeh! As in ako lang talaga mag-isa ang kumilos, walang katulong kasi nasa school pa ang mga bagets ko.</p>
<p align="justify">Tapos<em> hostess</em> pa ako kinagabihan nang nagsidatingan ang mga kapatid ko at mga pamangkin ko. Nakakapagod pero I swear, very fulfilling. May mga feeling akong hindi ko maipaliwanag. Basta bilang ina, masaya ako.</p>
<p align="justify">Gusto ko na sana matulog agad ng magsi-uwian ang mga kamag-anak ko kaso hindi pa pwede dahil tambak ng huhugasan ang lababo ko.</p>
<p align="justify">Alas dose na yata ng hatinggabi ako natapos sa paghuhugas at pagliligpit ng mga gamit kaya naman nung lumapit ako sa bed – ayun, BULAGTA ako!</p>
