Be a triad member to get protection
Today’s Star paper talked about how the Underworld gang is now recruiting members especially teenagers through Facebook. This is quite an alarming story for parents with teenagers, since nearly all of these kids are on Facebook. Most of the time, these gangs entice kids with the promise of protection, when they need help against someone who’s bugging them etc. Kids being kids might find this kind of connection to a gang dangerously exhilarating. Well, not so. I am so reminded by a movie I watched, called Sin Nombre. In this movie, a teenage boy is trying to initiate an even younger boy, like maybe only 10 years old, into his…

Curses and Blessings

I normally cook Josiah’s food at nights in the slow cooker and bring it to the baby sitter in the morning using the Thermos Foogo Vacumn Insulated Food Jar. This thing really works when it comes to keeping things hot for 5 hours. Furthermore it is entirely BPA Free. I have used this for the last 13 months and it’s still in tip top condition. This is absolutely useful as well when Josiah have yet to start eating our table food, when we go out for meals, I just pack his porridge in…
