Distracted Driving Laws Are Getting Tougher

You have probably heard about the dangers of texting while driving. Many cities and states have even issued bans on texting behind the wheel, promising that drivers caught with a “phone in one hand” will lead to a “ticket in the other,” as New York’s anti-distracted driving campaign states.

It is great news to learn that more and more states are putting a stop to this dangerous practice. It seems that many teenage and adult drivers think that they can somehow send a text, flip through mp3s, and drive all at the same time. Local government needs to take a stand to protect everyone else on the road.

The really good news, though, is that distracted driving laws have also attracted the attention of federal regulators. The Obama Administration banned all federal workers from texting behind the wheel. That means 4 million government employees now face consequences at work as well as in court. The federal government isn’t the only employer that has stepped up and demanded its employees start driving intelligently without distractions. Many companies have issued similar policies.

Companies working in the transportation and shipping industries, however, might not have much of a choice. The Department of Transportation has already managed to pass a few laws that prevent bus drivers and train operators from using mobile devices behind the wheel. As more and more evidence proves how dangers texting while driving really is, momentum grows in favor of new legislation that would protect everyone on the street.

To some extent, the problem with texting and driving is probably a failure of education. Parents who grew up without cell phones don’t teach their kids not to use their phones behind the wheel. Starting a national advertising campaign that teaches people about these dangers could potentially do more for safety that writing laws.

US Recession

Can you really feel that our economy is improving? I often hear our president say that. But as I searched the net, I see a lot of articles on how people can get out of debt? Does this mean that there are a lot of people who really need help to debt free? America is experiencing recession right now and a lot of people are loosing their jobs. A lot of banks are also in the brink of filling bankruptcy all of this is due to the fact that their clients can’t pay their debts anymore.

Good thing there are a lot of companies that can help individuals make a financial plan that can guide them on how to be debt free. Maybe those who are in deep debts can use the help of these companies to help them make a good agreement with the bank that will benefit both the bank and the individual.

The recession in the US really has a lot of effect. It will not just affect the US alone but will produce a domino effect especially to third world countries like us. I hope the recession will end soon and people will find ways to pay their debts.

Not sleeping here tonight

Bela slept around 10:00 Pm last night and woke up around 3:00 AM crying. She wont stop crying and she went back to sleep around 4:00 AM.

Howell worked overtime (until 3:00 AM) for three consecutive days now while I always stayed up late since I have some things to do, so both of us lack sleep also. So we decided to let Bela sleep at her lola’s house tonight so we can have a long, uninterrupted sleep. Just preparing for another long day tomorrow – it’s Bela’s show day at the Little Gym and then Howell will be covering a birthday party in the afternoon.

So Bela’s not sleeping with us tonight. So I will sign off now as our bed is already calling me. (Gosh I missed sleeping until 4 pm in the afternoon.) I’m tired also because of our long and busy day, so I’ll be hitting the sack now. Good night everyone.

Nanay – Tatay – Mommy – Daddy

When I was still pregnant with Bela, Howell and I discussed how we would like our baby to call us. I want to be called Mommy while Howell wants to be called Tatay. So I told him, our baby will call us Mommy & Tatay then. But he didn’t like the idea because he reasoned out that our baby might get confuse. So I have to give in and we decided that our baby will call us Nanay & Tatay.

So we have been calling each other Nanay and Tatay and when Bela was born, that is what we introduce to her. But when Bela started to talk, she started calling us mom and dad instead. Maybe, that’s what she always hear from the DVDs and TV programs that she was watching.

And so Howell can’t do anything and from then on, we switched from nanay-tatay to mom (mommy) and dad (daddy).
