I, myself use this toy during my childhood days. My parents told me to match the shaped pieces in different holes. The shaped pieces were all stored in a 16.5cm diameter circular shape. Some of the people said that this toy is quite boring but did you know that Shape-o-Toy has several benefits that you should know about.



1. Cognitive Development

Shape-o-Toy help children construct their own thought process by remembering the shaped pieces and those holes in the circle. This enhances the perception of the child who used to play this kind of stuff.



2. Mathematical Reasoning

Shape-o-Toy enhances a child’s mathematical reasoning wherein he or she can figure out how many sides of the shaped pieces have. Once he or he counted the sides from the hole, he or she will now create a presumption that is the correct hole to store the shaped piece.



3. Decision Making

Shape-o-Toy enhances a child’s perception on how to decide for the shaped pieces to be stored on these holes. This skill totally strengthens a child’s memory and disposition in life as he or she enters the academe.



4. Mental Alertness

Shape-o-Toy harnesses your child’s brainpower and expects a more impulsive response from them as you are challenging them by using a time clock. This initiates mental sharpness and responsiveness to your child.


With these benefits of playing this toy, parents will enjoy playing with your child. Being a parent, you should guide your children on how to use it and meet the goals to your children to be more mentally active and strengthen their own perception.

Thurman is undefeated while Pacquiao is known for his 8 world-division titles and epic fight against Juan Manuel Marquez.

According to some sources, many people are betting for Pacquiao but Thurman is confident enough to finish off Pacquiao’s career. Thurman said that this will be Pacquiao’s last fight, meaning his retirement.

Power and Stamina

No wonder, Pacquiao is much more faster and can spar 12 or more rounds. But Thurman is more confident that he can take down his opponent with just one round – that’s quite ambitious. Thurman insists that he is more powerful than the fighting senator. Of course, the ring will decide it’s destiny.

Age Gap

Pacquiao is older than Thurman. Pacquiao is now 40 years old while Thurman is 30. Thurman perceives the physiological aspect of aging against Pacquiao. But as we all said, “Age is just a number.”

Popularity

Pacquiao is also dominant when it comes to popularity. His epic fights made him famous – even in showbiz and politics. While Thurman is known for his unblemished record.

Predictions

Pacquiao's camp is confident enough that Thurman will end his undefeated record. Coach Freddie Roach said that it won't last until the ninth round. On the other hand, Thurman's camp is also confident that Pacquiao's retirement is yet to come. Thurman is relying on the one-punch knock out to take down Pacquiao.

This Sunday, who will prevail… who will take the crown. Let’s see!

Reasons Why You Should Refrain from using Social Media

Social Media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn help us to connect with other people and relatives from any parts of the world. Social media strengthens our interpersonal relationship as well as finding the one true love - well, that was my ambitious perception.

 Social media is now the most powerful tool to express and impress our feelings to issues like posting rants and political views. That’s not all, social media is also the gateway to the marketplace where you can buy and sell items.

With all the functionalities, we forgot the side effects of using them and I am not saying that Social Media is bad – very bad when you use it when someone is hurt. Social Media is sometimes poisonous and anytime can kill your morale and yourself.

In this article, we will be discussing the reasons why you should refrainn from using social media.

1.  Cyberbullying

Social Media is the main catalyst or the root cause of bullying. Once you post or share a particular picture, some people will mock you due to your physical attributes. And this is how many people are losing their moral to express themselves through their pictures. Bullying may lead to depression and the worst, death.

2. Conflicts

Social Media is also the cause of conflicts due to each other’s perception, just like politics. Here in the Philippines, democracy rules and we can express ourselves with freedom – and most of them are taking advantage of it. These conflicts implicate how people perceive but they didn’t mind the feelings of others – think how the world it is.

3. Fake News

Social Media also worsen the situation about a specific issue by bluffing us and create bring terror to each and one of us. Remember, fake news will not help us people and you should confirm them before believing them. You need more facts, not hearsay.

4. Security

Social Media may also harm you physically. There is some news that a girl killed by some unidentified person who chatted them via social media and makes date with them. Meeting with strangers is not advisable, think as many as you can if you are going to your dating place. As we all said: “Don’t talk to strangers.”

We can also include cybersecurity in this part. Never ever give your details to strangers. This may hack your social media account and worst, your bank account. Also, don’t just click the links that you are receiving from your inbox. This will also hack your details, your money, and your private life.

5. Pornography/Nudity

One of the most common issue today in social media is pornography. Pornography is now also considered as part of the business industry. Some people will sell their flesh for a specific fee. I don’t blame some people wearing sexy clothes. Remember, you are not just praised by some people but they are imagining you that are bare naked.


These are the reasons why you should refrain from using social media. If you have some entries that you want to add to this blog, comment below so your voices are heard.

Welcome to Bits, Bites, and Thoughts!

Today is my first blog creation and I don’t know why I came back here to write a blog again. Actually, I am not a typical type of writer. I am not confident enough to show my thoughts to others so I kept it on my own.

I am supposed to push through my Freelancing Tips blog way back 2014 but my complacency attacks me so I shut it down. And oh! It’s now 2019 and I am ready to face the challenge that I may encounter about blogging. You know what, I am very much shy to show these content to those so-called “grammar police” who only attacks those who don’t have cojones… you know what I am saying.

During college, I not that fluent went it comes to American English. Most of my poetic content are Filipinos and I tried to master some points in constructing English till I formulated my very own manuscript for my requirement for graduation.

My quest for searching for a job after graduation isn’t that easy for me. After a year, I got a Virtual Assistant job on Odesk (Upwork, now) and I don’t know how to communicate with the clients. But thanks to Mr. Google, I’ve made it on my own.

By the way, back to my blog… I am actually no idea what niche should I create. But I decided to make some heterogeneous topics – and that’s way better.

Ideas are coming in and I want to enhance this craft because this will give people entertainment and information in any device they are using.

This is my new quest for my ambitious writing skills… wish me luck.

Thanks to all people who motivate me to write again and I am not making a promise that my content is not that perfect but criticisms make a writer uplifts their moral to set forth and use the burning idea and their good heart.
