I have found myself crying a lot in the past few weeks. I think that during this period, I have cried more than I have in the last 10 years. I know there is an underlying reason, but I also know that I do not want people to know what I am going through. I’d bite my lip till it bled before I let others see me cry. Yeah, I have failed a lot lately.
One thing I have learned: crying serves a purpose, and it shouldn’t be something to be ashamed of!
When we cry, it is because something specific is bothering us. In the heat of the moment, however, we may not be able to pinpoint the specific issue. That’s when things turn from bad to worse – if we do not take the time to pinpoint what the exact problem is. When you feel overwhelmed and tears start welling up, don’t lose yourself in despair. Open your mind and look deep to figure out the problem. That way, your perspective does not get skewed.
Crying is an indication that we need support, have you realized that? I am, by nature, a solitary person. I like to deal with things on my own, and I don’t like wearing my heart on my sleeve. Then again, there is only so much that a person can handle on his own. When you feel like crying, it’s probably a sign that you need to unload your feelings. Call up your best friend – the person that you would trust your most horrid secret with – and vent. If you talk your problems through, you just might be able to find a workable solution.
Remember, crying should not be taken as a sign of weakness. It is part of the process of healing and repairing that which needs to be rebuilt.

One of the biggest things I’m raving about here in the USA are those tech gas pumps. You know what I’d mean if I say their pretty secure, fast and easy to use. I remember in Asia when I’d pull into a gas station how I’d hand over my credit card to a gas attendant [...]
Did you know that sales figures show (consistently) that during a bad economic period, more cosmetic products are sold than usual? These figures also show that after a tragedy occurs in an area, sales also increase.
What can we gather from this information? Just as Leonard Lauder said, tough times equate to a higher [...]
The whole Duggar family is no stranger to the limelight. They have been featured on TV, magazines, newspapers and every member of the family is used to the coverage. Last year, Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar announced that they were expecting their 19th child. Naturally, they were once again exposed to publicity.

We’re right smack in the middle of the Winter Olympics. Have your kids gotten into the spirit of it all yet? It saddens me that today, some kids would rather play sports via the PlayStation (or any other gaming console) than actually go outdoors and kick some butt. With the Winter Olympics [...]
Every house has a first aid kit. That is basic knowledge. But do you have an emergency kit that will help keep you alive just in case you experience a natural disaster? At this point, many families in the Philippines are creating their own disaster emergency kits, if they haven’t got one [...]
