i received this email froma friend...it's kinda cute...kids really see life differently...read on...
HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHO TO MARRY? (written by kids)
You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming.
-- Alan, age 10
No person really decides before they grow up who they're going to marry. God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who you're stuck with.
-- Kristen, age 10
WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED?
Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by then.
-- Camille, age 10
HOW CAN A STRANGER TELL IF TWO PEOPLE ARE MARRIED?
You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the same kids.
-- Derrick, age 8
WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR MOM AND DAD HAVE IN COMMON?
Both don't want any more kids.
-- Lori, age 8
WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE?
Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know each other. Even boys have something to say if you listen long enough.
-- Lynnette, age 8 (isn't she a treasure)
On the first date, they just tell each other lies and that Usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date.
-- Martin, age 10
WHAT WOULD YOU DO ON A FIRST DATE THAT WAS TURNING SOUR?
I'd run home and play dead. The next day I would call all the newspapers and make sure they wrote about me in all the dead columns.
-- Craig, age 9
WHEN IS IT OKAY TO KISS SOMEONE?
When they're rich.
-- Pam, age 7
The law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldn't want to mess with that.
- - Curt, age 7
The rule goes like this: If you kiss someone, then you should marry them and have kids with them. It's the right thing to do.
-- Howard, age 8
IS IT BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED?
It's better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need someone to clean up after them.
-- Anita, age 9 (bless you child)
HOW WOULD THE WORLD BE DIFFERENT IF PEOPLE DIDN'T GET MARRIED? There sure would be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn't there?
-- Kelvin, age 8
And the #1 Favorite is.......
HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK?
Tell your wife that she looks pretty, even if she looks like a truck.
-- Ricky, age 10

Update
It was a long time since my last update of what has happened to me. The following includes details, items that I am thankful for as well as my ‘groanings’…lolz…So here it goes…
Last May 2006, I came here in Quezon City to continue my studies and take my MA in Applied Linguistics. As I am writing this update, we had just culminated our 2nd phase of three phases for the first semester. So far these are the linguistics subjects that I had finished for the first two phases: Introduction to Linguistics, Phonetics and Language and Culture Acquisition (LACA). Other linguistics subjects offered were ‘Semantics’ and ‘Anthropology’ but I have had the privileged of taking in my diploma course. I have a subject that goes through out the whole semester; it is called ‘Doing Theology in Asia’. We are now in a week long break and after this we will start our 3rd and final phase for this semester with Grammar and Phonology (but I am also done with Grammar). So in the third phase, I will have ‘Doing Theology in Asia’ and ‘Phonology’ as my subjects.
A few highlights of the two phases that we just finished: Language learning – I had a great time with our Burmese friends who are very willing and helpful in any to us as we tried to understand and learn just a bit of their language. Friends – who celebrated their birthdays although the celebration was not that elaborate, the ice cream were just fine. Phase end activity – this is fun and double fun with the food…hehehe…Teachers – the privilege of having different teachers on each phase. Kudos to all of you!
(The paragraphs above were just a glimpse of what happened the following paragraphs would be a bit more detailed in some areas…)
During my first weeks here, I had a hard time (oh…alrigth not so hard I think) adjusting with some things such as the weather, with my housemates (we are seven in the house, 5 of us from the North, 1 from the South and 1 from the US of AJJJ) but eventually all became well after some rough and not so smooth timesJJJ. Although sometimes I make the lives of my housemates a little bit ‘miserable’…hehehe…I mean I make it more livelier by being ‘mean and nasty’ (as a friend of mine once described me…lolz), well that’s my opinion although my housemates would be soft on me…hehehe…they love me that’s why. Anyway, another adjustment was with my new set of classmates but of course I again won their hearts (that’s my opinion!) or the other way around. (Although some may not agree with my opinion, of course!JJJ). I also had a chance to go home last July in our place – to visit my family and attend a youth fellowship. During the youth fellowship, we had visitors from Canada for their mission trip. I had the opportunity of talking to some of them and learned that some of them knew my Hebrew teacher (he is teaching in their school and they came from the same place as well). I had a great time with them and as well with my friends. The following day (Sunday), I had a chance to meet my former youth pastor and two of my best friends for lunch. In the afternoon I went to attend a film showing…but before it started the pastor who is going to lead the film showing met an accident as they were coming to the place. He along with some of his cousins, my mom, two of my cousins and somebody else. Thank God that the car was stop by a tree before it fell into the ravine. Nobody was hurt and the equipments were all intact and eventually after they arrived the film showing pushed through with the people from that place attending. (Of course, there was a dramatic sharing of the accident.) I am personally thankful to God that He has not yet taken my mom that time. Anyway, I came back whole and safely here at Quezon City J. I was also very thankful for our Prayer Day in school that was held last August 25, 2006. It was a day just after our culmination of our second phase. I was still sleepy and tired but I made it a point to attend it. I was very much refreshed after that event and thankful that I did not miss it. It was really a very refreshing and wonderful time praying for the prayer items and spending time with God in a cozy ambience while a group of singers were singing as we are praying. I was also privileged to attend a wedding of a dear friend two weeks earlier (you can check my links for the pics).
Of all the these things that have happened in the past days of my life, I am thankful to God for His grace, strength, provisions and all the other things that He has given me and allowed me to experience. Looking forward to another challenging and wonderful time in the upcoming ‘phases’ of my life.
