Why the choice of words and grammar are very important

By -
I am not a grammar Nazi (though I am slowly turning into one).  One of my reasons for re-checking my grammar is not to feel all high and mighty and superior to the rest of the earthlings, but to be clear about what I want to say or write about. I want people to understand if what I say had already happened, is about to happen or is currently happening.   I make a lot of grammatical mistakes, especially when in a hurry, but I try my very best to make sure that my subject and verb are good friends.  (I love my English teachers: Ms. Badeth Cabico, Sis. Josie Onag, Mrs. Convite- wherever you are, thank you!)

So anyways, while browsing for gift ideas at Lazada, I saw this nice toy:



See the description? Warning: Cannot Eat

Of course I wouldn't buy a toy that would eat my child, so this warning is really very helpful (my teeth are clenched while typing this)! It's a great gift for kids playing and learning (my face is now twisted in horror).

See how important grammar is?

But I will still buy this because it cannot eat my child.  Heheheheh.

Merry Christmas everyone!

HARASSMENT FROM SMARTBRO

In 2011, after finding utter disappointment from two (2) major internet providers in the Philippines, hubby went to a Smart Wireless Center and applied for a Canopy Device.  When the unit was delivered,     the installers suggested that we avail of the Wimax instead since the trees around the neighborhood were blocking the signal. So, they came back later and delivered the Wimax device.  The contract was locked for two years, otherwise, we had to pay pretermination charges. Photo credit: adamsplanet.blogspot.com On the day that Pacman lost to Marquez, on Dec. 9, 2012, we discovered that we had no internet signal.  This had happened many times before, sometimes lasting for a few hours, and the most was three days. We never a reversal of the charges since it was too much of a hassle to call their customer hotline at *888.  After two or three days of no internet signal (it was forever a running light), we reported the matter to the hotline.

My kid was bitten by a dog

By -
My kid was bitten by a neighbor's dog yesterday.  He was bitten on the left thigh and he had scratch marks on his right leg. He said that he and his playmate were outside the house, playing, when the dog suddenly bit him.   Hubby and I were so p*ssed when we saw the wounds on our little boy. He immediately looked for the owner of the dog.   After a few minutes, we were ready to go to the hospital. We looked for an Animal Bite Center nearby where the little boy was given anti-rabies and anti-tetanus shots (for a whooping price of P2,400 for the two shots).   I learned a few lessons from this incident:   1. Do not panic.  While I pacified the little boy, hubby was the one who "hunted" for the dog's owner. I brought the little boy to our room, dressed the wounds, changed his clothes, and told him to wait for me while I take a quick bath and get ready to go to the hospital.   2. The City Hall has an Animal Bite Center. They c...
