That's me!☺

I think it's pretty obvious from the looks of this blog what my favorite color is. There's just something about the color purple (and other shades of it, too!) that make me go crazy. LOL

Because of my love for the color, I have decided to start a color meme and it is hosted at my other purple blog, Life and then Some. I would really love to see all of you every week, purple lovers and non-purple lovers alike (as long as you have a photo of anything to share) at Crazy Over Purple Saturdays.

My heart melts every time I see young kids with cleft lips or palates. Birth defects like these can be heart wrenching for both mother and kid. Mothers, usually, blame themselves because they might have taken medication during their pregnancy which caused the defect. One such medication is Topamax, an anti-convulsant known to treat epileptic seizures and even migraines.

Of course, a mother wouldn’t have taken Topamax had she known it would affect her child, right? Because of this, a mother can actually file a Topamax lawsuit so she and the child can be properly compensated for whatever damages incurred. The O’Hanlon, McCollom & Demerath law firm can help mothers facing this situation.

I just read this sad news that a 12-year old girl who lives in one of the provinces here committed suicide by hanging herself from a beam. According to news reports, she did so out of frustration and desperation. Relatives of the pre-teen said that the girl has been problematic lately because of her mom. The girl hasn’t been doing well in school so her mom decided to transfer her to a public school and according to reports the girl didn’t like the idea. She also took her own life because she didn’t want to be called dumb by her mom anymore.

In my opinion, the kid had deeper problems than just that. I’m guessing she was into drugs or something because no kid in her right mind would do such a thing. Her problem should’ve been detected early on so she could’ve been subjected to Teen Treatment Programs.

I’m pretty certain that there are drug prevention communities in their area and if only her mom paid attention to her instead of scolding her every time she brought home low grades from school, she would have been given attention and help right way. Maybe she’ll still be alive.

No, I am not the one migrating. Actually nobody is. It's actually this blog that I'm referring to. I plan to migrate it to  another platform. Not that I'm not happy where I am today. It's just that I have other blogs under a different platform and I just feel that I'd be able to manage them better if they're all under one roof, so to speak. Besides, since this blog is under my own domain, I want it to be self-hosted as well and IMO, everything will fall into place smoothly if I migrated this. So there.

The summer heat is proving to be very harsh and unkind! We can’t stand the heat! The air conditioner is running almost 24 hours a day but the heat can still be very unbearable. We’re planning on buying a portable pool that we can set up in the foyer and where we can dip ourselves every now and then. Maybe we’ll just buy a tarp that we can use as a roof over the pool so it won’t be extremely hot.

So far only my four year old nephew has a portable pool which he uses every afternoon before or after his nap. We just cover it with a canvas tarp to keep the water clean because sometimes he swims there more than once a day and it would be such a waste if we’ll keep on changing the water.

We already saw a place where we can order custom made tarps that would perfectly fit my nephew’s pool and the pool we will be buying. We’re also measuring the whole length and width of the area where the pools will be located so we can order an additional one that would serve as the roof or covering of the area.
