Just asking.

I was hoping this would be a weekend to relax, but, i was wrong. I'm still busy. My baby never gave me a chance to sleep last night and to just even let me nap for few minutes. Oh well, I still enjoy taking care of him although there are just times that I'm really just tired.

There are times that i had to leave my kids to my mom. And i know most of moms did or still doing it to their mother's now. I'm not very proud of it because i was supposed to be the one to take care of my children and not anyone else. My mom loves my children but she kind of, i mean she can't stand taking care of them for just 30 minutes. She can take care of my kids if there is no choice, or no one else was around to take care of them. Don't get me wrong, I'm not angry with my mother. I love her. It's just that ever since i was young, My parents has no choice but to leave me to my grandparents because they need to work. I uses to think why they didn't really tried to get me to my grandparents and they just let me grew up with them,. My feelings weren't very close to my mom and dad because of this. But i swear to GOd, I tried my best to get close to them since I returned to them in high school.

Up to know i still feel there's a wall between me and my mom, a wall that i keep trying to reach the top so i can cross over, but my mother doesn't tried hard to let me cross. She;s very generous, but to express her love to me, maybe not very well. Well, did i say i'm not angry? Well, yes, i'm not. I just want to let my feelings out because, We're OK but i don't know. Maybe it's just me. or maybe i'm right. (sigh)Why is she like that?

What exactly is famine?

What exactly is famine? I have heard most of this, way back when i was in high-school When we were talking about world history. My history teacher never failed to explain anything that may sound interesting/unusual/odd or just about anything that needs a lot of explanation. This was one topic that i can still remember how my classmates including me were totally shocked by the truths, and that we have no idea that this was really happening. I really thought it was just some parts of a movie. but it was real. Many parts in the world has suffered from famine, nut of course there were always the other side of the story.

A famine is a widespread shortage of food that may apply to any faunal species, which phenomenon is usually accompanied by regional malnutrition, starvation, epidemic, and increased mortality. Famines in modern time are typically linked to overpopulation, as the number of humans exceeds regional carrying capacity. It has been a source of a mass death for so many places around the world. Like North Korea, Vietnam, India and also the intriguing
holodomor

Our class then was very interested with this discussion,These problems that occurred in the past, should be just a past and hopefully no more famine problems will occur, the question is. Is that possible? With the world economic crisis, I'm really not sure.

Troubled kid.

I have this new student, and i think that she has no or just a little interest in learning. She is still in high school. She seems very smart and kind, but that problem maybe is not in her or me. It's about her interests. This is the very first time i encountered a student like her.

I have various types of students ages 10 until 50+. Most of my students are willing to learn and only a few looked like they were just forced to take the class. But i never had a student like her before. I'm Kinda' having some difficulties explaining things to a mind that is never open. She seems like something is bothering her. I wanted to ask her but we've just started our classes, so i think it's too early to ask private matters.

I' m just worried that her family or even the school might think that she is not learning at all. I know that i got all the patience in the world, but she just doesn't want to cooperate. Whenever i asked her questions, she just say "i don't know." or "I'm not sure" She always say that. I just after the Chinese new year i would be able to persuade her to focus on her lessons and study. Wish me luck guys (cross fingers)
