A great deal of computer games have been designed and released in the World Wide Web for parents and young kids to enjoy. Most of them are educational and teaches young kids different skills that they can use in real life situations. One of the most popular simulation games are cooking games that got every young girl talking. Do they learn anything from these games at all?
Young girls are fond of dolls and any activity that their moms usually do. Maybe you have seen your kid looking at you when you cook, and this means they are interested in what you are doing. An early start in the kitchen world is crucial to spark their interest. But the kitchen is not really a safe place for kids. Online cooking games (like Barbie cooking games) are the safest most realistic way to prepare your child in the world of cooking minus the hazards.
The recipes found in online cooking games are based on actual recipes that will therefore imprint these ideas in their minds. When the time comes when they will be allowed to prepare meals in the kitchen, they might try out what they have learned from the game.
Creativity is another important aspect that a child can learn from these games. Although there are recipes, they are on their own when they decorate their meals. This is especially fun when they decorate their own desserts like cakes and banana splits. Their imagination is the limit of these games.
The games also warn them of the possible dangers of the kitchen. They show them how to properly hold a knife, the use of pot holders when something is boiling and how to properly peel fruits and onions. These basic kitchen safety and etiquette are simulated while playing the game.
These computer games are safe and educational. From the factual references to recipes up, creativity and cooking safety, the basics can be learned by simply clicking the button. These games would be more educational if parents will be able to guide them throughout the entire playing time. Educate your child early and she could probably be a great chef one day.

This picture that is believed to be the former Philippine President's mugshots has made its way to the Internet. I didn't believe the first time I saw it uploaded by one of my friends (which the friend got from a random website) in Facebook. How come the mugshots taken in a hospital? Or was she?
There are two conflicting statements I had read just a while ago in an article regarding the above mugshots of GMA. One party said the above photos are the real mugshots while the other denied. There is even another fraud mugshots of hers that came out. You can see and read the whole article here. Whatever the truth is, I found the former Philippine President in these photos piteous. To pity her is all we can do. She has done a lot of wrongdoings in our country that she must pay.

A blogger sometimes suffers from mental block, if that’s the right term to call it. I can surely say it’s true for it happens to me. There are times when I am just barely staring at my computer screen with a blank mind or sometimes with a handful of ideas on mind but then the ideas are suddenly blocked. It is frustrating sometimes when you want to share something and then suddenly the ideas are blocked or just slipped away. I end up having an unproductive day, just frustrating!
When that happens, free online contents play a great role in helping us update our blogs. There are sites that offers free article writing services where we, bloggers, can freely copy contents that are customized to fit our blogs’ niche. In a site called Article Writing Services, it provides quality, well-researched, and authoritative articles for blogs and websites absolutely free.

We can say our friendship was bonded with a mutual experience. We were connected for a main reason, we can relate to each other because both of us are in a Filipina-Foreigner relationship, married but sadly facing conflicts in our marriage at the present. Despite all the rough roads and tough times though, both of us managed to live life the best way we can. Meeting Helen and hearing her experiences in marriage have enlightened my thoughts regarding the current issues I am facing with my own. It was so nice meeting her and i do look forward for the next meeting.

After six months of not visiting home, I decided to visit yesterday for All Saints Day or undas or Todos los Santos. It's a practice and it is hard to break it. It was as well a reason to visit my mother. Mom had her 20-kilo pig rolled for a roast. Baby roast pig, yum! I have been missing and craving for the taste of roast pig's crispy skin and yesterday I had my craving satisfied. Thanks mom for having such a grand preparation for us. You truly misses us big time! Accompanying me in my visit home yesterday were my little sisters and father of course.
