'No Spanking' Law

I heard about it from the radio few weeks ago? They were trying to implement it in another country. So I just randomly started pondering over it again just a while ago. Before I proceed, anything mentioned in this post and any other post is just a personal opinion and nothing more. Please don't get offended or anything. ^^' And please don't sue me for my opinions just 'coz I don't have children yet. =p

There were many times as I watched others or even younger children behave in a bad way, be it being part of their personality or just having a mood swing. Sometimes I wonder...if they were ever spanked or in anyway punished by their parents before. Sure..nowadays many couples have this policy of 'no-spanking' their beloved offspring as they believe they may educate their children in a different manner. But what if the children suddenly starts to tear the house down? (I didn't mean literally, but something that's almost just as bad) The adults just wanna talk it out with the kids after the house is down maybe and pray the kids don't tear down the remaining apartment? Come on... Surely the adults aren't going to let the kids repeat their mistake over and over again when they seriously don't listen. Of course, if they do listen, by all means use the 'talking' method the next time they do something wrong.

Besides, not spanking your children can sometimes cause more stress than not to the adults. Then the adults start spanking other adults. (Oops..naughty thoughts. =p) Well, no one is asking you to swing a bat or pan at the poor kid. (The kids' only pitiful when punished that sadistically, so the word 'poor') Nor spank your children for every other minor things like not wanting to poop when you want them to. (Babies and young kids do that but hey...stealing ain't a minor thing. Stealing is a crime. It can get you to jail.) If you need to spank for minor things, maybe do it lightly (like sweeping) or playfully.

I believe there are many parents who give harsher punishments than spanking like not allowing the kid a meal or even leaving the kid outside the house alone at night. Although it may be effective but that can be very damaging. Especially now that crime rate is very high in many countries, it's not safe to have your child alone outside of the house. Starving the kid would only cause gastric and other health matters (that would also increase more work load for the adult like taking the kid to the clinic or whatever). So I believe that adults should educate their children in a smart way. (That doesn't mean being a smart-alec or making your child one. It just works the same principle as 'Don't study hard, study smart'.) But please keep a limit, whatever punishment it may be and don't go all sadist on the poor kid. = ='ll You won't want them to go sadist on you when you grow old and feeble. ;)

Apart from all that spanking stuff, I believe that some children are actually grow closer to the caretaker that educates them more rather than the 'oh-so-loving-and-don't-spank' other. But of course there are some that sticks more to the 'oh-so-loving' one especially when the 'scary' one seems to start to grow longer horns. Although so, don't go spanking your children everyday for no apparent reason in hopes that they'll love you more. That WON'T work. xD xD xD

There's also another thing that I heard, supposedly from psychologists, that things get to the males' head more when you talk in a softer or soothing voice, while a louder and forceful voice works for the girls. *shrugs* That's what I heard but I doubt you can directly apply it all the time. Imagine you have 1 girl and 1 boy. You keep shouting at the girl while you talk softly to the boy. Somewhere sometime the girl is going to think that you're prejudiced and loves boys more when it's actually not true but you're doing so thanks to those psychologists or just wanting to try out the idea. (Don't sue me. I'm not forcing an obligation on anybody. It's just a theory, reliable or not.) Or what happens if you have a girl with more male hormones? Now what?? You keep changing your tones between each word? You must sound like a broken horn then. ;p

Hm...it seems that the theory also can't be applied according to voice volume. For example, you're suppose to speak soothingly to a boy. So what happens if that boy is always listening to music blasting out of his earphones that even if you step a mile away, you can still hear the music crystal clear? He's going to be deaf to a certain extend. So here's the thing, you have no choice but to shout. Note 1: that's LOUD. Not soothing. Note 2: But, it is to him 'coz he can't hear it clearly. =D Haha. Confusing, no? ;p

Heheh. Hey peoplez, love can't be divided but love can be delivered soft or hard. ;) So love your children today and every other day. If you don't have children, you always have one within yourself. =) Enjoy. ^^

Illusion... @@

Wah!! This is the first time I blog so frequently. @@'ll Anyway, I thought of putting up this illusion for some dizzy'ing fun. =p (I didn't dare to put it up at night..because it looks a bit freaky too. T.T) I got the picture from a forwarded mail. I'll post the picture and the email bit in. =3

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Give this more than 30 seconds.
If you see this lady turning in clockwise you are using your right brain.
If you see it the other way, you are using left brain..
Some people do see both ways, but most people see it only one way.

If you try to see it
the other way and if you do see, your IQ is above 160 which is almost a genius.
Then see if you can make her go one way and then the other by shifting the brain's current.
BOTH DIRECTIONS CAN BE SEEN.

This was proved at Yale
University, over a 5 year study on the human brain
and it's functions. Only 14% of the US
population can see her move both ways.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ok. I dunno how true is the "above 160 = genius" part la. ^^' But it's still an interesting picture. =D I just pray noone pukes after staring too long. <.<'>.>'

Hm...this, I'm afraid, is where it gets boring. (Caution~! Emo-ness!!) I was sitting in the library the other day, while KY was busy having class, when I suddenly figure this out and I started writing everything down into my notebook. (KY, I was studying before and after that ok? Don't hit me. >.<) This is what I wrote:

"If the world is illusionary,
Then is it not like the illusion playing on the screen?
It only takes our mind to change the direction of the doll...
Yet we can't exactly answer how is it that it seems different yet the same.

In that case,
Can we not view ourselves and even the world like the doll illusion?
It only requires a change of mindset.

Take a book,
It's cover empty of prints and the pages within
Lined identically with no page numbers or any other indicators
Just lines..

How then does one tell which is the front of the book?
It matters not how you flip the pages or how you angle the book...
Which side the book truly faces is up to one to decide.

Just the same, life have many different angles
It's your choice, how you wish to view it. ;) "

Blog: Purpose & Background

Say, I'd never really mentioned my true intentions for having a blog besides setting one up just because the old one was getting on my nerves. xD So...the thoughts just popped up during bathtime (as usual. You see...I don't have a rubber ducky, so my attention finds something else to do while I clean myself nicely. *nod nod*) and I thought...this seems like an interesting topic. Maybe along the few paragraphs I might be typing soon, I'll also introduce a few extras that I already have/have intention to/was thinking of adding to the blog. ;p

Ok..so...I'd been asked lately about the purpose of blogging. Before that, I found out some reasons from other people why they do NOT blog:

1. Lazy (That says it ALL)
2. Don't see the point of letting other people know about own thoughts or opinions. (Reserved, shy, etc.)
3. Don't see the point if you can't make money out of it. ($, $ and $)
4. Waste of time. (Hectic people? Oo *background comment from somewhere* Study ah!)
5. No IT savvy-ish. (I pray they know, at least, how to use email. >.<)
6. Want to play "mysterious". (Masak-masak nicer!! >.<)

So there you have it. As for me, I'm blogging just so I can empty my mind of unnecessary stuff (although blogging contributes to my bad memory, since everything is already in the blog, I don't have to remember every single thing). For example, I don't need to remember what I read in a novel while sitting for an exam. ;) And the other reason is so people can know me a little better..in some ways. xD At least you all can try and figure out how my mind works now. ;p Yeah, so that's all about why I blog...I think. Oo

Background...well, maybe just the names of the blog. The previous one was "fuyukyuden", meaning Winter Palace in Japanese (that is if I got it right. xp). The current one, was an email signature I sign off to certain people (it's also because those "certain people" call me Ouji-sama, aka Prince in Japanese. Reason for the nickname is off topic in this post + I ain't telling. xp). Well then, both the names do tie in certain ways. Both are my personal imagination/view of myself. This is where it gets complex (beware~!):

A kingdom, is ruled by one and it is to rule many. It also to manage the welfare of others under such rule. So here's the thing, a kingdom is a HUGE community with MANY people.

On my end, I imagine myself...in a kingdom where there is only one person, that person being me. "Of Royalty", being derived from the status of a prince, represents me as the person responsible to manage things, but..only in a quiet kingdom of my own, "Winter Palace". And in this place I seek to manage, improve myself as much as I can before I do others. And until that such time, "I await for the colours of Spring from my throne overlooking the snow white garden".

One Rule, Self-Rule.

Ok, enough emo (emotional) stuff. Next point of this post, EXTRAS!! I'll be adding a tag list at the side whereby you can search for certain posts according to category. =) And I intend to offer to my dear readers this... If you wish for me to blog about something that you might want my opinion on or just to test my essay skills or just so I can make more updates on my blog... XD XD XD ...suggest away!!
