She is Princess Pairat, 22 years old, single mom. She’s my cousin. I was shock with the news that she gave birth and her boyfriend totally abandoned her. She is raised with a single mother working in a knitting factory but no clear income. Her mother has a big goiter (thyroid on the neck). I’m trying to save money for her operation but it’s not easy because I am a family woman with three kids and we are not rich. We just settled her in Australia and affected with global recession.

Princess tried her best to have a good future. Staying from one relative to another but it seems things are not on her side. She all the time don’t get a good treatment. She felt in love with a man who helped her, support her but used her in exchange. Sorry for my words but this is what I think. They were good in the beginning. They helped each other and even studied in one University. University of Cebu. The guy was nursing and Princess get a tourism course. I don’t know how she survived for a year. The man is like her world at that time. She gave everything. Princess never grow with the love of a father. Her parents separated when she was still a baby and now has another family but also don’t have a good life.  She got supported in small ways by her family including me. The rest  from his beloved man.

Until time came that she got pregnant. Problem started to arise between their good relationship. I forgot to mention that their love was against all odds. Her man’s parents as well as other relatives don’t like her so they were hiding their relationships. His parents will pull him out from the school if they find out that they’re still together. He can’t fight for Princess so he hide her to continue to study and get allowance. Princess has a part-time job while she’s studying. In short, working student. The name of his boyfriend is RC. I want to condemn this guy for his cowardliness in times that he needed much but it’s not in my hands to condemn. Sorry for my words. He wanted his son to be aborted or else he will abandon them both. He was scared because his parents might abandon him and stopped sending him to school. My cousin had a second thought and asked our opinions. Of course we don’t want her to kill such innocent child. She decided to pursue the baby and her boyfriend totally left her with nothing but heartache.

With her whole nine months of pregnancy, she kept on transferring from one relative to another again until end up with her mother. She can’t take anymore how people look at her and accusing her, blaming her etc2x instead of supporting her. She traveled when she’s seven months pregnant from Bohol to Manila Philippines through trucking. She lived with her mother in the factory where she worked and paid P100 per night or 5 dollars US currency. It’s a big money for my aunt because she didn’t earn much and her work is not regular. They don’t even have savings for the her delivery. Yeah what a hard life.

Last week, they traveled to Batangas Province to stay with her brother until she gave birth and she’s already on due. She has two brothers who were all married. Unfortunately don’t have a good life too. She can’t give birth in the small room on the factory. I saw the place and yeah it’s impossible plus they have to pay per head each night. When they arrived at Batangas Phillipines, she started to feel pain. Maybe because of traveling far with her situation was not really good. So they called a midwife. She was supposed to give birth just at home but the danger of giving a first birth is unavoidable. The baby didn’t came out at expected time and she was already so weak and the baby as well. The rushed her to the nearest hospital. Because of all the tensions, they didn’t even think it was a private hospital. She can’t have a normal labor because the baby’s head already swell. Doctors at Madonna General Hospital did an immediate CS Delivery for their safety which charged them all in all P45,000.00 or more than $2000. What big money for people who didn’t even have a savings. The important is the baby and Princess is safe now. Baby’s name is Prince Philly. We contributed money to help them but money raised was not enough. They only raised P12,000.00 or $500+. They still need P22,000.00 or $1000+. They can’t be released in the hospital until they’ll be able to settle their bills. They were supposed to be released the other day. The more they stay long at the hospital, the more their bills goes up. The father of the baby didn’t even care and now denied the baby was his. Only God knows with this kind of people.

I want to extend my help just for them to be released at the Madonna General Hospital, 153 Antorcha St. Balayan Batangas Philippines. Tel. No 043-9122422. But I don’t know how?

Women increase their chances of being lucky in love if they avoid sleeping with men on the first date, scientists say.

Using a mathematical model, researchers have shown that lengthy courtships evolved to allow women to week out unreliable partners.
Prof Robert Seymour, of University College London, used a branch of maths called game theory to explore the dating rituals of men and women.
The findings mirror the advice given to generations of women by agony aunts, big sisters and close friends.
His model is based on the idea that women have the most to lose from any new relationship because they can end up with a baby fathered by an inappropriate – or even absent – father.

It assumes courtship is a battle between the sexes, with both sides compromising on the point in the developing relationship where they have sex.
A male’s willingness to court for a long time is a signal that he is likely to be a ‘good’ male.
Long courtship is a price paid for increasing the chance that mating, if it occurs, will be a harmonious match which benefits both sexes.
This may help you to explain the commonly held belief that a woman is best advised not to sleep with a man on a first date.
The model doesn’t work so well in a society where contraception removes much of the risk of pregnancy. It also ignores social and peer-group pressures on men and women.
It helps how the extended courtship of humans may have evolved in prehistoric societies tens of thousands of years ago.

They might not be carved on stone tablets but these rules, if followed, will keep fellas in the good books and out of the nagging line, says Justine Dure.

Thou shalt remember important dates
And we don’t mean the Test cricket dates or his mother’s birthday.
It hurts our feelings when he forgets anniversaries, Valentine’s Day, our birthday.
His failure to remember makes us think he doesn’t care, whereas remembering gives him the perfect chance to show us just how much he does.
So men, it’s fairly simple. Put it on your calendar in big red letters and, a few days before, make sure you put a reminder in your phone to allow time to plan the spoils. We will appreciate it and you will be rewarded.

Thou shalt not look at other women
If we’re with a man, then we expect (and deserve) his full attention.
While we understand that you cannot change a man, this should be one of the first habits he drops when you start seeing him. Looking is normal, but looking a lot is a problem.

Thou shalt practice bathroom etiquette
We like to think of our bathroom as a haven of retreat. Men should respect this sacred place and this means:
# no using our favorite (not to mention expensive) products- buy your own.
# No leaving the toilet seat up. Put the seat and lid down. It’s a simple request but one so many men struggle to uphold.
#No leaving of wet towels on the floor. The towel rack is there for a reason.
It’s often the little things we break up over, so you’re wise trying to fix them early on.

Thou shalt not spend longer getting ready than us
Part of the illusion of being a woman is that magical moment when we step from our boudoir polished to perfection from top-to-toe, wearing that special dress with killer heels.
Should he still be in the shower, having a shave or trimming his toenails, he’ll kill said magic.
Remember men, it’s the woman’s prerogative to keep the man waiting. Sure, we want you to take pride in your appearance, but anything over our beauty-boosting regime and you’re entering Narcissus territory. And say something. If you just look us up and down and don’t comment, we’ll think you don’t think we look good.

Thou shalt question our…
#Shoe habit
Asking in exasperation, “Do you really need another pair?” while staring south of our ankles is not the way to get out of this alive.
#Hairdo
Yes, it might have looked better on Posh, but that doesn’t mean we need him to tell us.
#Style
Men, we understand fashion. He lo should like the fact that you take pride in your appearance and be proud to have you on his arm.
This is of course, cuts both ways in a relationship. If you don’t like certain outfits that your partner wears, don’t make a negative comment. Instead, tell them how gorgeous they look when they wear something you do like.

Thou shalt not mock PMS
Emotional outburst or not, it’s just plain rude for men to immediately assume that just because a woman is acting a certain way it is her time of the month.
Even when our men know that is the case, saying so is sure way to stoke the fire.
The majority of men aren’t experts when it comes to our cycle – and it’s common to fear the unknown. Take away the mystery – tell him you’re feeling a little tender and apologize if he finds you’re being more snappy than usual. Girls, don’t use him as an emotional punching bag.

Thou shalt not practice DIY if not skilled in said department
While we love able to do things ourselves, we still love a man doing things around the house, be it putting us shelves, wiring plugs or even mowing the lawn.
But there’s nothing worse than a job half-finished or, worse, when he ransacks our space with the over-confident use of tools.

Thou shalt not ignore the finer points of grooming
While we want men to be quicker than us in the bathroom (and respect its domain), we still appreciate a well-turned out man.
There’s a myriad grooming products available to men in today’s world, from lip balm to eye cream and soothing shaving tonic to brow gel, so there’s really no reason for your fella to feel uninformed.

Thou shalt share the load
The days of women tackling the housework and having dinner waiting for hubby when he returns form a hard days work are long gone.
You’re both hard-working professionals, you split the cost of your home, therefore it’s only fair that the chores are split equally too.

Thou shalt never say…
#”What have you done to your hair?”
#”They both look the same to me.”
#”Do you think you should be eating that?”
While it’s inevitable they’re going to say the wrong thing from time to time – hey, we’re not perfect either simple these common sense dictates that these comments are likely to be met with contempt and disdain.

“M” is for the million things she gave me,
“O” means only that she’s growing old,
“T” is for the tears she shed to save me,
“H” is for her heart of purest gold;
“E” is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
“R” means right, and right she’ll always be,
Put them all together, they spell “MOTHER,”
A word that means the world to me. –Howard Johnson
