In this fast changing world, a lot of people have become accustomed to the bleak, dull, grey scenery of the city. But in the realms of planning, a rather century’s old movement, called the Garden City movement has been making a buzz these days.

First conceptualized by Ebinezer Howard, an English office worker in 1898, this concept of a city is now quite appealing to both legislators, politicians, decision-makers, planners and ordinary citizens alike.

The concept of a Garden City operates on the notion of a self-contained community surrounded by a “greenbelt” or simply open spaces or parks which actually sets the limit to any physical development of the city.

According to Howard, there are two places with different characteristics that pull people towards them and these are the Town and the Country. In the case of the Philippines, the Town represents Urban places and the Country represents Rural places. In his concept of a Garden City, he put together the appealing characteristics to both Town and Country.

Abbie Goldberg, a psychologist from Clark University found out from studies that gay parents tend to be more motivated and have more commitment towards parenting compared to their heterosexual counterparts. The reason behind this is the the fact that gay parents were parents by choice unlike most heterosexual couples who were 50% accidental parents.

Also, kids brought up by gay aprents are nurtured in an open-minded environment of gender tolerance. Not saying that heterosexual couples cannot provide such environment though.

One thing for sure, having gay parents bears no negative efects on a child’s social and cognitive development.

Dear Crocs,

Hello there. I really must say, you’ve always been a mystery to me. I still don’t know why you were loved by a lot of people last year. I can’t seem to understand why you were such a rave last year that almost everyone was wearing you on their soles. I have to be honest with you, you looked awkward, weird and plain ugly. No offense meant there.

Well, anyway, that was last year. Or was it two years back? Anyway, I’m just happy that fashion sense finally took over. You are dethroned. If I’m observing correctly, the “barely there” slippers are trendy right now. You know what I mean?

Well, anyway again.. while I am searching for a conferencing service

. I hope you all the best, Crocs. And I’ve come to realize that your ugliness and out-of-this-world look probably made you that famous before. Maybe sometimes ugly can be pretty, right? Peace out.

Signed,

Slipper lover

The thing with break-ups like this is that ex-lovers can always be civil towards each other but they can never be true friends. You don’t want the other to be happy when you’re so miserable. Let’s face it; everything must be equal. You’re both either happy or miserable at the same time.

The pride of an ex entails that you have to be friends with him. Sure, you might be miserable but you don’t want him or your friends to know. And so, you’ll pretend to be happy and smile those fake smiles. The question is, if you’re pretending, who’s to say he’s not? But your pride will dictate you to go on, pretend, and never ask. You don’t want him to know you want him back when he’s not asking you back, anyway.

Recent studies show that enough Vitamin C in the body can actually prevent numerous ailments such as the formation of cataract or the clouding of the lens of the eyes. Also, Vitamin C has been raved as an anti-cancer vitamin since it actually supports the immune system of the body and its properties protect and prevent any mutation in the DNA or even the cells.

The great thing about Vitamin C is that it is available via some fruits and drugs and the fact that it is actually beneficial and cheap at the same time is a bonus.
