'bet you know this....


CRUSHby DAVID ARCHULETA


I hang up the phone tonight
Something happened for the first time
Deep inside
It was a rush, what a rush
Cause the possibility
that you would ever feel the same way
About me
It's just too much, just too much

Why do I keep running from the truth
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized
And I just got to know

Do you ever think
When you're all alone
All that we can be
Where this thing can go
Am I crazy or falling in love
Is it really just another crush
Do you catch a breath
When I look at you
Are you holding back
Like the way I do
Cause I'm tryin, tryin to walk away
But I know this crush aint goin away, goin away

Has it ever cross you mind
When were hangin, spending time girl,
Are we just friends
Is there more, is there more
See it's a chance we've gotta take
Cause I believe that we can make this into
Something that will last, last forever, forever

Do you ever think
When you're all alone
All that we can be
Where this thing can go
Am I crazy or falling in love
Is it really just another crush
Do you catch a breath
When I look at you
Are you holding back
Like the way I do
Cause I'm tryin, tryin to walk away
But I know this crush aint goin away, goin away

Why do I keep running from the truth
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized
And I just got to know

Do you ever think
When you're all alone
All that we can be
Where this thing can go
Am I crazy or falling in love
Is it really just another crush
Do you catch a breath
When I look at you
Are you holding back
Like the way I do
Cause I'm tryin, tryin to walk away
But I know this crush aint goin away, goin away

EVERYBODY'S CHANGING

... POETS' corner

I have loved flowers that fade


I have loved flowers that fade,
Within whose magic tents
Rich hues have marriage made
With sweet unmemoried scents:
A honeymoon delight,
A joy of love at sight,
That ages in an hour
My song be like a flower!.

I have loved airs that die
Before their charm is writ
Along a liquid sky
Trembling to welcome it.
Notes, that with pulse of fire
Proclaim the spirit's desire,
Then die, and are nowhere
My song be like an air!.

Die, song, die like a breath,
And wither as a bloom;
Fear not a flowery death,
Dread not an airy tomb!
Fly with delight, fly hence!
'Twas thine love's tender sense
To feast; now on thy bier
Beauty shall shed a tear.

THESE ARE ALL THE MANY CHANGES IN MY LIFE…

Sometime we often pray that life will be good to us but then again later in our life we will realize that no matter how we make things happen the way we want it to happen, it just can’t be.
And then we take a big sigh hoping that relief will come but then we will learn that it’s not what we really wanted.

"We must be the change we want to see ..........." (Gandhi) by am_kaiser.Back thusday:) ciao

During my younger days I have had my own way of doing things and making things run the way I wanted them to.
Strangely, things are seemingly more complicated than what it was before.
Had times change the way people think?
Had it change the way we run their lives?
Or difficult and more complex things just really come when you grow a little older?
Was it me that is changing? Probably.
51 / 52: Change by -Teddy
Or it’s just that the things around me are constantly changing and I’m not keeping up?
Things like these… these changes will obviously stay
And me, I will eventually be forgotten in oblivion for eternal.
These and a lot more other unthinkable changes have made me … not me.

WHAT IS ...

Hair Loss
The medical term for hair loss is alopecia. The most common type is pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia). It accounts for about 95 percent of hair loss from the scalp. It's typically permanent and can be attributed to heredity. Another type of alopecia, alopecia areata, can be temporary. It can involve hair loss on your scalp or your body. Its specific cause is unknown.

How to help your child at school

Your child will often find it hard to listen, remember and think of the consequences of his actions. His behaviour and performance will tend to be erratic - he may be able to do something one day but not the next.

The best things to help him at school are:


routine, regularity and repetition


praise, little and often


working with someone on similar academic and maturity levels.


The best place for him to sit is at the front of the class, either with positive role models or facing a wall. This helps to cut down on distractions.

Medication

If your child needs to take medication at school, discuss and arrange for this to be given quietly and sensitively - not in the presence of other children. For example, it could be given in the school office or by the school nurse if available.

Children often complain they are embarrassed to be seen taking medication in school and appearing in any way different from their peers, so it's important to get this right. And keep in regular contact with the school concerning medication issues.

Listed below are some of the most common problems your child will have at school, with some practical tips - some of which will need discussion with your child's teacher.

In the classroom


Talking too much

This tends to decrease as your child gets older. Tips to tackle include asking the teacher to:


use a timer, for example if he's taking turns in a group


remind the whole class before they speak that they should give one sentence only


remind the whole class to put their hand up if they want to talk.

Interrupting the teacher

This tends to be worse in primary school. As with talking too much, it tails off as your child gets older.

If your child is on stimulant medication, he's more likely to start interrupting when his medication wears off. In which case, the teacher should check (sensitively) whether he's taken medication.

Tips to tackle include:


teach your child what to do if he's forgotten instructions, eg raise his hand and wait for the teacher to answer him, or quietly ask another child.


ask the teacher to remind the whole class about the rules for interrupting rules. If your child persists, the teacher should talk to him on his own, not in front of class.


suggest a reward system that's visible to your child, eg having a book of cards with four coloured faces. The first face is a smile, the next is neutral, the next is unhappy, and the final one (red) looks cross. If your child makes it to the end of the session without reaching the red face, he gets a star. If he reaches the red face, he knows the consequences.


agree a secret signal system with his teacher that isn't obvious to the rest of the class, eg the teacher nods or rubs an ear when he needs to remind your child to get back on track.




Inattentiveness

Tips to tackle include asking the teacher to:


make eye contact when giving instructions


break instructions into manageable chunks (timed, if possible) and praise your child when done, then move on to the next chunk


get your child to repeat instructions back, to make sure he knows what he's expected to do


repeat herself if your child is fidgeting


give written as well as oral instructions, eg review instructions on the board, list what your child needs to do to complete the assignment, use visual aids and checklists


teach your child to make lists of what he has to do, then prioritise tasks within the list


ask questions to keep your child's attention.




At home


Homework issues

This tends to be either your child forgets it completely, or doesn't finish it. Tips to tackle include:


ask the school for a home-school diary so you know what the homework is


help your child plan the assignment and break it into small chunks


have a homework routine - let him have a break after school, then a set time for homework, then another break


let your child do it in bursts - don't force him to focus for too long


give him a quiet place to do his homework, with good light and no distractions such as music or TV


give him encouragement and take an interest in his work


if he tried hard but still didn't finish, don't push it too hard - remember his performance is variable so he may find it easier tomorrow.

Learning difficulties

Your child may have general problems with his work, or he may have specific problems - in which case the teacher, SENCO or a therapist can give you advice on how to help.

Tips to tackle include:


make sure he has a quiet study area


get the teacher's permission for him to leave the classroom with a helper for a walk break


teach your child to use planners, charts or diaries


use visual cues


give step-by-step instructions


check that your child can have extra time on tests - he may need it


computer programs can help with specific problems.


Peer difficulties

Particularly if he's impulsive, your child may overreact to teasing or let himself be egged on to doing something silly. The following tips may help.
http://flickr.com/photos/murali-art/2504700723/
A playtime diary: how did it go, were there any problems, what did you do, how did others react, what could you have done differently?


At junior school teach him to count to 10 before he reacts, or walk away and talk to a teacher.


'Circle time' provides a useful opportunity for children to discuss and understand each others points of view, problems and difficulties. It is especially helpful for children with ADHD or autism. Circle time consists of regular meetings of about 40 minutes. Children sit in a circle and discuss issues, led by a teacher. Each circle time is split into different phases: meeting, warm-up, opening-up, cheering-up and calming down.


At secondary school, try role-playing.

Silence...

Silence is not the answer by 'Ana

Have been thinking for sometime now on the what's going on with my life... lately I have been noticing quite a drastic change. Major decisions seems so easy to make now, I guess probably because I've been maturing both in age and in experience.
Ive got to say that some things aren't so comfortable as they are, but I'm getting used to it gradually. I dont think that a little degree of awkwardness can create havoc over my rational state of mind.
Silence have closely been a friend to me now and I'm kinda getting comfortble with it recently.
while others thought of it as the absence of any sound I believe otherwise. For it is when I am silent that I am able to listen, to contemplate and to find a real peace of mind...and I hear the things that my self really desire...

...POETS' corner




For My Bestest Friend



Friendship is something to hold on to
But for me that's not the case
Cause I don't feel I need to keep
Something that can't be erased

I am sure of what I have
Cause with you I have no doubt
For what we've built, can't ever fail
It's what I care about

I find it hard to describe
This thing that we share
Especially when there's nothing else
That ever could compare

Others always know
That together we will be
For there can never be another
"Tani and Kerrie"

Those two words, known all over
Might as well be one
Cause without a Kerrie, there is no Tani
I'm sorry, it just can't be done

For you're the "U", and I'm the "S"
And forever that will be
Cause together we make "US", and so
YOU COMPLETE ME!!
