Rocket - a favorite attraction on the children's playground of my childhood. A completely forgotten term until entering crypto 😀 And by entering SoMee, the appropriate symbol of progress. SoMee - with rocket to the moon.

Siblings Recreated Their Childhood Photos And It’s Hilarious #siblings #childhood

When a man complains, he seduces a fool. If my father didn't have fun during his childhood, and he would have devoted more effort and sacrifice to his own work and destiny, he would have become an intellectual and no one would fight against him, he had vowed to marry my mother and his plans would have been implemented, and this morning will be on your shoulder. The man who stands up for himself eats. Ancient History.

A puddle always attracts dry shoes! #childhood #memories #fun 😅

Hangout - beer and sausages Last evening, at a gathering with friends from childhood(elementary school), we enjoyed excellent #Kapuziner beer and a mix of food. Smoked pork ribs in bbq sauce, beer white sausages, cheese sausages, marinated spicy chicken wings and honey pepper chicken wings.

When I saw this carousel, I immediately remembered my happy childhood🤣

Thank you for making our Childhood fun. ❣️

THE DIARY OF A CHRIST FOCUSED CHRISTIAN! ♾️♾️♾️♾️♾️♾️♾️♾️♾️♾️ 👉STILL ON LOT'S WIFE AND LOOKING BACK... ======================= *REASONS WHY WE OFTEN LOOK BACK !* [PART 2 B] """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" I hope I didn't keep us waiting today🙂! But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt. (Gen 19: 26) Remember Lot’s wife. (Luk 17: 32) We parted with the promise of identifying some reasons why we find ourselves looking back oftentimes...you know,I said,*LOOKING BACK TAKES LESS THAN A SECOND* This usually happens when we *abandon watching*, either as a result of LUST or MAKE BELIEVE CONFIDENCE...over confidence. WITHOUT ARGUMENT,*LOOKING BACK* HAS COSTED A LOT OF US,OUR GOD DESIGNATED LIVES! LET'S CONSIDER SOME REASONS THAT CAN CAUSE OUR LOOKING BACK. Okay, here's the thing👇; 👉Looking back because we’re familiar with sin rather than salvation. Familiarity,they say breeds contempt. We are by default, more at home in our *comfort zone* than uncharted territory. It’s more likely for us to look back when we are unfamiliar with where God is leading us, just like with Lot’s wife. She is used in seeing and practicing sin in their city every single day. Sin was their point of reference. Sin was their *normal*. It was their usual way of responding to life. She lived her whole life in that city. Can we blame her? She was familiar with it, and she thinks she fits perfectly.So getting out of it definitely seems uncanny. It's the same with us today...we ain't any different...the only difference may be our level of individual response. That lifestyle we have been used to,becomes our regular object of temptation... smoking, alcoholism, reveling,fornicating and adultery, mode of dressing and communication,yes,we will be longing to hangout with peers and friends at our regular joints...yes, generally,those sins that tied us down,that we are fleeing from. 👉Looking back because we are familiar with our past rather than our present. This is like the point above,but really,it isn't. It's one thing for God to be our present Help, and another thing for us to be a prisoner of our past. This hits me home. I have had a painful childhood, a rough and dark teens,and an even more complicated young adulthood (even now, I'm yet a victim). Going through physical, emotional, and mental trauma created an isolated and numb heart. I know some of you can relate... THROUGH MY SHARED PERSONAL EXPERIENCES SO FAR, A LOT OF US WILL UNDERSTAND WHAT I MEAN. When I make decisions, my frame of reference is what I have experienced. If I realise that I have had bad experiences by choosing this or that, I avoid going for it. It seems to make me isolated and totally risk-free. But,am I happy? No. Am I sad? Also no. I just settle for what I feel is familiar and with that, I think I keep myself safe. I think.But no. My past has been both a nightmare and a suffering. It wasn’t good to me, especially with my mental health. It is what has actually spurted me into this my emotionally depressive condition I frequently relapsed into . So it explains what I’ve been going through right now and why I’m inclined to write. 👉Looking back because we are familiar with ourselves rather than God Himself. Let’s be honest. We want what we want, when we want it. We decide and act for our own intentions and desires. I get that. This is our life. And that’s the dangerous part. Whether we like it or not, we may not know ourselves more than God. He sees and knows everything because He created you and me. Therefore, it is impossible for us to know ourselves better in any case. Even though you are a very self-aware person, human knowledge is still foolishness to God. We were used to be the captain of our souls. We were used to steer the ship of our own future and set the sails for the desires of our hearts. Everything is in our hands and it feels good... but sometimes, it feels bad. We NEVER seem to agree with ourselves that we are limited. The list goes on and on,but all the others are encapsulated in these three. Right. Next,we are going to look more deeply into the costs and implications of looking back. May the Good Lord God Almighty NEVER EVER takes His Eyes off us,🙏 Amen 🥀!

My entry for the Awesme Tutorials Contest The best advice I ever received was given to me in two forms by two different cultures. The Westernized version is, "Practice makes perfect" and the Eastern version is, "repetition is the pathway to perfection." The latter was drilled into me by my #Hapkido instructor and the same goes for anyone who has taken #Karate. That's literally why they use #katas. Growing up you hear the former all the time. As kids, who are just learning anything that's hard and seeing others being good at it, they tend to envy natural ability, rather than finding the motivation to get better at all costs. I not only went through this, but saw my daughter and her friends go through it as well. The excuse is usually, " I'm just not good at that..." It was the latter that made me realize how difficult it is to translate a simple message into something our adolescents understand and take to heart. Only those with a competitive nature and a drive to win get it right away. It's those with little drive who won't get it until they are adults themselves, if at all. The key to drive this point home as a parent or role model lays within the saying itself; Repetition, repetition, repetition... You just need to keep driving the message and finding the right words to help them understand that this piece of wisdom goes beyond sports and is relevant throughout every facet of life. It took me a while to understand this and we cannot allow the succeeding generations to dilute it's meaning. Note- The image I used is a gif I made from an instructional video to teach myself #TaiChi. I broke it up into short pieces to make it easier to practice a piece at a time. I don't move to the next one until I have the preceding one down.I learned so much faster doing this. #Awesme #AwesmeTutorials #AwesmeContests #advice #philosophy #WordsToLiveBy #psychology #wisdom #insight #epiphany #contest #SoMeeContests #childhood

Project PHD by JED with Pieces of Mama E #LocalTransportation #Kalabaw (Carabao with or without Sled) Philippines being an archipelagic nation, composed of 7,000+ islands, you could have imagine the vast transportation methods it offers! From air, road, rail and water transport. There are on-going massive improvements on the Transportation industry in the Philippines following the Build! Build! Build! Infrastructure Program (BBB) of the government lead by former President Rodrigo Duterte. Pieces of Mama E Despite the promise of modernization there are amazing one of its kind transportation in the Philippines especially on the rural areas. The elderly said " You haven’t truly experienced Pinoy culture if you haven’t tried out atleast one of these modes of transportation: Jeepney, Tricycle, Pedicab, Kalesa, Roro, Habal-Habal, Railroad Kariton, at Kalabaw. I can say have tried most of them except Roro and Railroad Kariton. Being a #Farmersdaughter the #Kalabaw (Carabao) is mostly used in our area for transporting harvested sacks of rice from the rice fields to the storage area which is called "Kamalig" or "Bodega". I remember my childhood days when we sit on top of the sacks of rice as the Kalabaw pulls the Kariton! #Philippines #SomeePh #Philippinetradition #Philippineculture Photo Credit: https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/oy-i-te-iiie--439663982344471936/
