I was on Facebook today when I saw a pretty photo of a fellow mom blogger. I clicked the image and was redirected to another Facebook page. The site is Top Moms by Off Lotion. I liked the page then I was greeted with a short survey. I answered it and I found that I am a discerning mom. Very true.
Here is what it means.
Curious on what kind of mom are you? Look for Top Moms in Facebook, like their page and answer the survey. You might get yourself a Top Moms gift!
I think that is one talent that I have. When I need things but they are lacking, I improvise.
Once my daughter needs a cardboard for a school project. We do not have time to buy anymore. I remembered the cake boxes I kept and that is what my daughter used. She was happy to be able to recycle things.
A few days ago, there was something I need that is placed at the top of our cabinet. Usually, I would call my husband for help. However, that time, he just left for work. So I took one of our dining chairs and used it as a step stool. I successfully got the box I needed at the top of the cabinet. Now, my daughter no longer asks for my help to get her milk at the top of the microwave. Instead, she gets her small chair and steps on it.
I think improvising is a result of not having everything available. Because we did not have everything in life, we learned to make use of what is available and I will make sure to teach this to my children also.
Last night, I was on my Facebook wall when I saw several posts from a relative. His post was about Miley Cyrus. His posts looked suspicious because of the image preview. I became more suspicious when I saw he also posted it in his dad’s wall. (I mean, if you are browsing some adult content and you are underage, you do not want your parents to know because you will get reprimanded.) I saw him online and I asked if he is really online. Without waiting for the answer, I asked who is he. My guts was telling me that my relative’s account got hacked. He replied and said he was a classmate of my relative and that he accidentally clicked on something using that account. He said he already texted my relative to inform him. Then I asked the classmate if he knew that he triggered a virus. Then there was no response.
I immediately created a shout-out to my relatives on my wall and in our group warning them about the said link. And I really hope no one clicked the link out of curiosity.
See, that is the problem of this generation’s teeners. They are very curious and they hate taking precautions. They do not think before they click. They do not know what is safe and not. And even if they know, they do not practice it! That is why they end up infecting their accounts and gadgets.
Now, I do not know what will happen to that FB account. Spammers, virus and other malware and online threat are everywhere. If we do not learn how to safely use the powerful Internet, we will end up divulging private things online and we can get into more serious troubles.
Safe Internet usage should really be part of Computer lessons at school and at home.
