An Easier and Happier Life

There is no doubt about it-the way we communicate with our family members today has changed dramatically in recent years. Just a decade ago, text messaging, blogging, and emails were not methods of family communication. Today, they are widely used by families around the world.

Some people say that technology is impacting families in a negative way. For example, instead of playing games or eating dinner together, more and more families are instead turning on the television, using the computer, and constantly text messaging on their phones. Some people believe that families are ditching the real world in favor of the cyber world. Other people argue that technology is essential to good family communication in today’s society. As parents and children have different agendas and interests, the widespread use of cell phones and the Internet help them stay in touch and communicate regularly.

Does Technology Improve Family Communication?A new study by the Pew Internet and American Life Project (2008) suggests that technology improves communication among families. The study revealed that technology, such as cell phones and email, seems to be helping create a new “connectedness” within families, as family members communicate with each other every day via cell phone, texts, and emails.

 However, researchers said the heaviest technology users were also those with the heaviest work schedules, which is likely to contribute to these negative reports.

Couples communicate frequently just to say hello and chat (28 percent of couples do this several times a day, and an additional 36 percent do so at least once a day) and also to coordinate daily schedules (20 percent do this several times a day, and 39 percent do so at least once a day). However, many also communicate regularly for weightier reasons: discussing important matters and planning future events.”

For families that live far away from one another, technology helps them connect. Many families live far apart and do not see each other on a regular basis. Even when families live under the same roof, it can be challenging to find the time to eat dinner together or sit down to chat. Today’s technologies make it easy to communicate, some people believe that they create interruptions to family time and make it easy to avoid face-to-face time. Communication is extremely important between family members, especially when some of them live far away.

Communication within the family is extremely important because it enables members to express their needs, wants, and concerns to each other. It is through communication that family members are able to resolve the unavoidable problems that arise in all families.

"Filipino: Wikang saliksik"

Wika ang pinakamagandang regalo ng Maykapal sa atin. Ito ang nagsisilbing tulay sa pakikipag-ugnayan sa kapwa, sa asosasyon at sa institusyon. Malakin ang nagagawa ng wika sa pagkakaroon ng maayos at magandang ugnayan, unawaan at mabuting pagsasamahan. Ang Pilipinas ay may isanfg wika na nagiging daan para magkaintindihan ang bawat Pilipino at ito ay ang wikang Filipino. Napakahalaga ng wika dahil kung wala ito paano pa kaya magkakaintindihan ang mamamayan at paano pa mas mapapabilis ang ating pag-unlad Tuwing buwan ang Agosto, ipinagdiriwang natin ang buwan ng wika.  At ang tema ng buwan ng wika ngayong taon ay "Filipino: Wikang Saliksik". Layunin nitong gamitin ang wikang Filipino sa pananaliksik. Gamitin ang wika sa pagbabahagi ng mga impormasyon gaya na lamang ng pakikipagtalastasan o ang pagsusulat. Dahil sa paggamit ng ating wika mas mapapadali tayong magkaintindihan at maiparating kung ano nga ba ang nais nating ibahagi nang hindi nagkakaroon ng hindi pagkakaunawaan

Every month of July we celebrate the Nutrition Month and there's a theme annually for 2018. The theme is "Ugaliing magtanim, Sapat na Nutrisyon Aanihin!" This theme focuses on food production at home through the family's own garden because having food gardens can help improve the family as well as the community's food security. If you have plenty of vegetables or fruit crops you can even sell some to earn additional income for the family. Growing your own fruits and vegetables will save your money at the store. So each of the families should have their own garden to make sure that those fruits and veggies that your eating is fresh and organic because fresh fruits and vegetables have more nutrients compared to those that are not organically cultivated and staled. And if you buy in the grocery store you don't know if the fruits and vegetables are not fresh or not clean. Healthy diet helps protect against malnutrition. It plays an important role in securing tha
