Simple Tips To Help You Improve Your Relationship With Your In-Laws

Having problems with your relationship with your in laws? here are some tips to help you improve it:

• Be realistic. You have to accept that if there is anything you don't like about your in laws behavior, you cannot change it. Only they can change it. But you can change how you react to their behavior. So focus on your part and accept them as they are.

• Understand the deeper issues. You might think you just don't mesh well with each other, but sometimes there may be deeper reasons why you and your in laws cannot seem to get close. For example, your in laws coldness toward you could be because they feel threatened losing their son or daughter to you. Try to understand where they are coming from and bridge the gap.

• Make an effort to get to know you in laws better. It might be initially awkward to do this but it will get easier as time goes on. Invite them to lunch or call them. Get to know the persons behind the facade they present to you.

• Stay out of fights between your spouse and his family. As much as possible, let your spouse handle any difficult subject or confrontation with his or her family and relatives.

• Make you in laws feel welcome in your home. Treat them as valued members of the family, which they truly are, instead of inspector-generals, which is how you might feel. Your warmth and hospitality will rub off on them and improve your relationship.
  

Simple Tips to Save More Money

• Check out what you earn by the hour. If you're a regular employee, just divide your monthly gross income to he number of work days per month. Then divide that by eight hours, the usual work day. That's how much you earn per hour. Keep that in mind next time you want to splurge.

• For those who have cars, check the cheapest gas prices in your area. Gas prices may vary that much by as much as 20 percent within a few blocks and can change frequently, so check them out.

• Buy groceries once a month or every payday instead of every week. Minimize your visit to the groceries so you don't get tempted to buy more items than you need. And make sure you have a grocery list while you're at it.

• Use the Internet for free text messages and calls. If you have Internet access, send text messages for free, even abroad, through chikka.com. If you have relatives abroad, use the many free messenger systems to chat or webcam such as Yahoo Messenger, Windows Live Messenger, Google Talk, etc. Or use a budget card if you want to use a phone. That will save you half compared to regular landline rates.
  

What to do When your Spouse is having an Affair

A nice article I found on our library archive about relationships. Marital infidelity doesn't mean the end of a marriage, although it may feel that way. Believe it or not, many affairs have served to jump start dying relationships and moved partners out of their comfort zones. If you find yourself in this situation, here are some tips from relationship experts:

1. The news will hit you hard and will hurt a lot but hold off making any hasty decision about your future.

2. Your spouse should agree to end the illicit relationship. If not, leave him or her.

3. When both of you are calm, have a serious talk about the root and causes of the affair.

4. Answer the question: What needs to change in your marriage to prevent future infidelity?

5. Seek counseling as a couple.

Facebook turns 6

Worlds youngest billionaire and Facebook co founder and CEO 26 years old Mark Zuckerberg celebrates six years of Facebook and the 400 million people on the service.

A girl was rape because of Facebook

I just read this news i think this Tuesday, and didnt mind the news that much. But while riding a jeep home, i heard a student saying they cant access Facebook because their school had block Facebook because of the said incident. Because the student who rape the girl was studying at their school. The news goes like this:

A STUDENT from a well-known university in Davao City was allegedly raped Saturday by a teenage man she met through a social networking site on Saturday.

The victim and the suspect became friends through Facebook and decided to meet and share some drinks inside a lodging house around 10 p.m. Saturday.

Krista (name withheld), 16, and Roland, 19, an Information Technology student, a resident of Malvar street, have known each other for a week before they met up.

Roland was arrested by the San Pedro police around midnight Sunday following the victim's complaint.

"Amo siyang gi-text ug among giingnan nga magkita sila sa iyang girlfriend (We sent him a text message pretending to be his girlfriend and wanting to meet him)," SPO2 Kelvin Joy Magno, duty investigator, said in an interview with Sun.Star Superbalita.

The suspect, however, denied the accusations.

He said that after becoming friends through Facebook, he invited her to a date at the mall last Saturday.

The girl arrived with several friends. She said they came from Times Beach.

Roland said the girl appeared to have imbibed some alcoholic drinks.

"Nag-order kami ng beer kasi gusto pa niyang uminom. Pinakilala niya ako sa kanyang mga kaibigan na boyfriend niya. At sinabi ko sa kanya na tayo na ba?" he said.

From their meeting place, they proceeded to Matina Town Square to continue their night out.

"Doon kami nagkasundo na mag-rent ng room kasama ang kaibigan niyang babae. Nung nakapasok na kami sa loob, pinalabas niya ang kanyang kaibigan at doon kami nagsimulang mag-sex," Roland told Sun.Star Superbalita while at his detention cell.

From the private room, Roland said he took the girl to her friend's house in Coca-Cola Village, Matina.

"Pagdating namin sa Coca-Cola Village, hindi niya ako pinapasok kasi magalit daw ang kanyang mga barkada na lalaki kaya umuwi na lang ako. Kinaumagahan, tini-text ko siya at tinanong kung nakauwi na ba siya. Sinabi niyang hindi siya umuwi. At nagulat na lang ako nung hinuli ako ng mga pulis," the suspect said.

The victim was brought to the Davao Medical Center (DMC) for medical examinations, while the suspect awaits the filing of charges in court.

Man, what the heck is wrong with students now a days. But i had to ask myself is Facebook the one to be blame? or the student themselves? Me? I used Facebook not for the sole purpose of socializing but to play Farmville hahahahaha. As for the student at the jeep, dude forget about the Facebook being block at your school, study first, because you enrolled at your school not to use Facebook, but to study and learn.
