I couldn’t possibly do it. She would kill!” “Oh please?” the girlfriend asked again, in a sexy little voice. “Really, I can’t,” he replied. “My wife loves this beard!” The girlfriend asked once more, he sighed and finally give in.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let’s laugh out our problems for a while, here’s a bit dirty joke, but it’s the way you like it!</p>
<p><strong>The Beard</strong> – a married man was visiting his girlfriend when she requested that he shave his beard. “Oh Larry, I like your beard, but I would really love to see your handsome face.” Larry replied, “My wife loves this beard. I couldn’t possibly do it. She would kill!” “Oh please?” the girlfriend asked again, in a sexy little voice. “Really, I can’t,” he replied. “My wife loves this beard!” The girlfriend asked once more, he sighed and finally give in. That night, Larry crawled into bed next to his wife while she was sleeping. The wife was awakened, turned toward him, felt his face and said, “Oh Fred, you shouldn’t be here. My husband will be home soon!”</p>
<p><strong>Spaghetti Baby</strong> – a doctor was having an affair with his nurse. Shortly afterward, she told him she was pregnant. Not wanting his wife to know, he gave the nurse a sum of money and asked her to go to US and have the baby there. “But how will I let you know the baby is born?” she asked. He replied, “Just send me a postcard and write ‘spaghetti’ on the back. I’ll take care of the expenses.”  Not knowing what else to do, the nurse took the money and flew to US. Six months went by until one day the doctor’s wife called him at the office. “Dear, you received a very strange postcard in the mail today from US, and I don’t understand what it means.” The doctor said, “Just wait until I get home and I will explain it to you.” Later that evening, the doctor came home, read the postcard, fell to the floor with a heart attack. Paramedics rushed him to the ER. The lead medic stayed back to comfort the wife. He asked what trauma had precipitated the cardiac arrest. So the wife picked up the card and read, “Spaghetti, spaghetti, spaghetti, spaghetti-two with sausage and meatballs, two without.”</p>
<p><strong>What’s the name daddy?</strong> – a high school girl finally had the opportunity to go to a party alone. Since she was a good looking, she was a bit nervous about what to do if boys hit on her. Her mom said, “It is very easy! Whenever a boy starts hitting on you, ask him ‘What will be the name of our baby?’ that will scare the off.” So off she went. After a while at the party a boy started dancing with her and, little by little, kissing her and touching her. She asked him, “What will be the name of our baby?” The boy found some excuse and disappeared. Some time later the same thing happened again, a boy started to kiss her neck, her shoulders. She stopped him and asked him, “What will be the name of our baby?” He ran off. Later on, another boy invited her for a walk. After a few minutes he started kissing her and she asked him, “What will our baby be called?” He continued, now slowly taking her clothes off. “What will be the name of our baby?” she asked once more. He began to have sex with her. “What will be the name of our baby?!” she asked again. After he was done, he peeled off his condom, tied it in a knot and said, “If he gets out of this one…David Copperfield!”</p>
<p><strong>Grandma’s boyfriend</strong> – a ten year-old boy went to visit his grandmother one day. Playing with his toys in her bedroom while grandma was dusting, he looked up and said, “Grandma, how come you don’t have a boyfriend now that Grandpa went to heaven?” Grandma replied: “Honey, my TV is my boyfriend. I can sit in my bedroom and watch at all day long. The religious programs make me feel good and the comedies make me laugh. I’m happy with my TV as my boyfriend.” Grandma turned on the TV, and the reception was terrible. She started adjusting the knobs, trying to get the picture in focus. Frustrated, she started hitting the backside of the TV hoping to fix the problem. The little boy heard the doorbell ring, so he hurried to open the door, and there stood Grandma’s minister. The minister said, “Hello son is your Grandma home?” the little boy replied, “Yeah, she’s in the bedroom banging’ her boyfriend.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">‘Hitting it from the back’ is all well and good – but constantly opting for the classic doggy style can get a bit dull. Liven things up with this endurance-testing variation on an old classic – but resist the temptation to run forwards like you’re in the wheelbarrow race at school.<img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1380" title="monkey style" src="http://myblueheart.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/monkeylove-300x190.jpg" alt="monkey style" width="300" height="190" /></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">Step1 &#8211; Kneel down on one knee. Complain about the carpet scratching your leg, and then put a cushion underneath. She lowers herself down onto your bobbing old man, roughly at a ‘two o’clock’ position to you.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">Step 2 &#8211; She leans forwards as though she’s being flung over a bonnet by a policeman. Still on one knee, you start ‘pounding it’, pausing only to flex a bicep and growl at yourself in the mirror, American Psycho-style.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">Step 3 &#8211; Move you’re hands down to her thighs and stand up, shaking with the exertion as you do. Extend her legs behind you so her weight is being propped on her elbows. Try to avoid dropping her forwards onto her head.</span></p>

Too much twisting and contorting can leave a woman feeling like a sexless member of Cirque du Soleil. “Unlike men, women can lose an orgasm almost in the midst of having one,” says Ian Kerner, Ph.D., author of She Comes First and He Comes Next. The solution? This simple series of positions, designed to help you flow naturally from move to move without ending up like a flesh pretzel. Missionary – It’s tame, but it’s a natural starter because of strong eye contact, says Kerner. “But men often ejaculate faster because of the friction.” To last longer and keep her happy, switch to a move that maintains clitoral pressure without so much thrusting.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sex shouldn&#8217;t resemble Naked Twister. Too much twisting and contorting can leave a woman feeling like a sexless member of Cirque du Soleil. &#8220;Unlike men, women can lose an orgasm almost in the midst of having one,&#8221; says Ian Kerner, Ph.D., author of <em>She Comes First</em> and <em>He Comes Next</em>. The solution? This simple series of positions, designed to help you flow naturally from move to move without ending up like a flesh pretzel.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1245" title="kamasutra_sexposition_missionary1" src="http://myblueheart.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/kamasutra_sexposition_missionary1.jpg" alt="kamasutra_sexposition_missionary1" width="200" height="200" /><strong>Missionary &#8211; </strong>It&#8217;s tame, but it&#8217;s a natural starter because of strong eye contact, says Kerner. &#8220;But men often ejaculate faster because of the friction.&#8221; To last longer and keep her happy, switch to a move that maintains clitoral pressure without so much thrusting.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1246" title="kamasutra_sexposition_spider1" src="http://myblueheart.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/kamasutra_sexposition_spider1.jpg" alt="kamasutra_sexposition_spider1" width="200" height="200" /><strong>Spider &#8211; </strong>Sit back and pull her toward you while you both lift your knees. &#8220;Physically, it allows her to feel a deeper, more intense, more intimate stimulation than missionary, with less friction,&#8221; says Candida Royalle, author of <em>How to Tell a Naked Man What to Do</em>.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1247" title="kamasutra_sexposition_rev_cowgirl" src="http://myblueheart.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/kamasutra_sexposition_rev_cowgirl.jpg" alt="kamasutra_sexposition_rev_cowgirl" width="200" height="200" /><strong>Reverse Cowgirl &#8211; </strong>Encourage her to turn around and face away from you. This creates G-spot stimulation for her, and the change will help you hold out longer. If she seems uncomfortable on top, resume the spider or try the spork, two natural transitions.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1248" title="kamasutra_sexposition_doggystyle" src="http://myblueheart.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/kamasutra_sexposition_doggystyle.jpg" alt="kamasutra_sexposition_doggystyle" width="200" height="200" /><strong>Doggy-style &#8211; </strong>&#8220;It&#8217;s the most arousing position for men, because it&#8217;s the most primal,&#8221; says Linda Banner, Ph.D., author of <em>Advanced Sexual Techniques</em>. The angle also allows for deeper penetration, which ups your chances of stimulating her G-spot.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1249" title="kamasutra_sexposition_bellyflop" src="http://myblueheart.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/kamasutra_sexposition_bellyflop.jpg" alt="kamasutra_sexposition_bellyflop" width="200" height="200" /><strong>Belly Flop &#8211; </strong>Grab a pillow and enjoy a little downtime. &#8220;Lay the woman on her stomach with the pillow under her hips so her pelvis is angled and you have a better chance of hitting her G-spot,&#8221; says Banner. Extend your arms to keep the weight off her.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1250" title="kamasutra_sexposition_lazyman" src="http://myblueheart.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/kamasutra_sexposition_lazyman.jpg" alt="kamasutra_sexposition_lazyman" width="200" height="200" /><strong>Lazy Man &#8211; </strong>Here&#8217;s another move that maintains intimacy. Simply lean back and gently pull her on top. &#8220;This can help women feel in control,&#8221; says Sarah Janosik, a sex therapist and cofounder and clinical director of the Austin Center for Sexual Medicine.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1251" title="kamasutra_sexposition_spork" src="http://myblueheart.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/kamasutra_sexposition_spork.jpg" alt="kamasutra_sexposition_spork" width="200" height="200" /><strong>Spork &#8211; </strong>Similar to spooning but slightly more ambitious, this position makes a natural bridge to more creative positions. &#8220;If she&#8217;s limber enough, he can also lift her leg, thus increasing penetration”.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1252" title="kamasutra_sexposition_manchair" src="http://myblueheart.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/kamasutra_sexposition_manchair.jpg" alt="kamasutra_sexposition_manchair" width="200" height="200" /><strong>Man Chair &#8211; </strong>Once past the basics, positions become &#8220;more about psychological novelty”. Doggy-style is about your dominance, but from there you can naturally transition into this rear-entry position that puts her in the driver&#8217;s seat.</p>

MANILA, Philippines—The exodus of Filipino teachers to other countries is expected to continue in the coming years, according to a labor group.
The Public Services Labor Independent Confederation (PSLINK) said on Wednesday two places were the likely magnets for Filipino teachers—the United States, which would need two million teachers in the coming decade, and Arab countries, which would need at least 450,000 teachers.
The group said teacher shortages, growing populations, and expanding educational systems in many other countries coupled with the dismal work conditions and salaries at home could push local teachers to go abroad.

<p>MANILA, Philippines—The exodus of Filipino teachers to other countries is expected to continue in the coming years, according to a labor group.</p>
<p>The Public Services Labor Independent Confederation (PSLINK) said on Wednesday two places were the likely magnets for Filipino teachers—the United States, which would need two million teachers in the coming decade, and Arab countries, which would need at least 450,000 teachers.<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1076" title="Filipino Teachers at home can still enjoy the Bora Beach" src="http://myblueheart.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/child-playing-bora-beach.jpg" alt="Filipino Teachers at home can still enjoy the Bora Beach" width="440" height="330" /></p>
<p>The group said teacher shortages, growing populations, and expanding educational systems in many other countries coupled with the dismal work conditions and salaries at home could push local teachers to go abroad.</p>
<p>“Demand for teachers across the United States continues to remain high even if the North American country’s economy is in a deep recession,” said Annie Enriquez-Geron, PSLINK general secretary.</p>
<p>“There are estimates that the United States will need to employ an additional two million teachers in the coming decade to maintain its current educational standards and closer to three million if it strives to improve them in order to stay globally competitive,&#8221; she added.</p>
<p>Geron said more than 10,000 foreign teachers are recruited by the United States every year to fill its demand.</p>
<p>“There is also very high demand for new science and math teachers in the US with estimates by the Business-Higher Education Forum in Washington putting the figure at 200,000 at the least,&#8221; she added.</p>
<p>In the last 10 years, around 4,000 Filipino teachers—mostly math, science, English, and special education teachers—left the country. This figure included only new hires for teaching jobs and did not include those who left the country for work other than teaching, the paper said.</p>
<p>The top destinations were the United States, Saudi Arabia, Japan, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates, the paper added.</p>
<p>According to a UN Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (Unesco) study, Geron said, the Arab states will face “the greatest teacher shortage in the drive to provide every child with a primary education by 2015 as the region will need to raise the current stock by 26 percent and create another 450,000 teaching posts in less than a decade.”</p>
<p>“As more developed countries face a graying workforce, they are increasingly resorting to the recruitment of skilled teachers from less developed countries. This phenomenon had already been foreseen by (European) countries since the ’90s, warning that aging teaching forces may eventually lead to shortages,” Geron said.</p>
<p>“For instance, more than 60 percent of all primary teachers are over 40 years of age in Canada, Italy, and the Netherlands; and more than 40 percent are over 50 years old in Germany and Sweden,” she said.</p>
<p>Geron said another factor contributing to teacher shortages in more developed countries was the declining interest of their nationals in entering the teaching profession.</p>
<p>According to a survey conducted by the temporary staffing agency Manpower Inc., teaching is the second hardest job to fill in the US. Many of their nationals, the study said, would rather pursue other more financially rewarding careers than become a teacher. Low salary and unattractive working conditions were often cited as reasons not to enter the teaching profession, Geron said. (But for a teacher from a developing nation, salaries would still be significantly more than what they earn at home.)</p>
<p>“Unfortunately, instead of addressing employment conditions of the teaching sector, governments of more developed countries are finding it more convenient and economical to recruit migrant workers, many of whom are offered lower pay and contractual jobs that deprived them of their due benefits,” she added.</p>
<p>Geron said the dependence on migrant skilled teachers in developed countries was leading to aggressive recruitment strategies by their governments, recruitment agencies, and the private schools themselves.</p>
<p>“There have even been governments which have created special agencies just to recruit teachers from other countries. Private teacher recruitment agencies in the United Kingdom have mushroomed to more than 100 while there are more or less 70 in the United States,” she added.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Filipina girls</strong><strong> </strong>are popular for their exotic beauty and warm smiles. There are many beautiful Filipinas who are internationally famous. <strong>Philippine girls </strong>are not only beautiful, but they are also charming and cheerful. The <strong>Filipina heart </strong>is often sincere and faithful in her relationships.</p>
<p><strong>Philippine girls </strong>always respect her elders. Most of the time, she will seek approval from her parents before she can accept any suitor to court her. Filipina women in the Philippines live with her parents for as long as she is still unmarried no matter how old she is.</p>
<p>To win her <strong>Filipina heart</strong>you should be really willing to visit her family and introduce yourself formally to her parents. It is disrespectful if a man courts a <strong>Filipina girl </strong>without informing her parents! In the Philippines, you should know that it is always expected that the man must show his face to the Filipina girl&#8217;s family or else her whole family will not approve of you!</p>
<p>Many <strong>Filipina women</strong> have a heart of gold. They are also very sweet, loving, romantic, loyal and really faithful to the man they love. So, if you want to marry a <strong>Filipina lady</strong>, you should focus to <strong>win her Filipina heart</strong>, and you can have a faithful and loving beautiful <strong>Filipina girlfriend</strong>. However, you have to be really patient in your courtship and really sincere in your intentions so you will win the love of her Filipina heart and make her your Philippine bride.</p>
<p>It is often thought that having a serious relationship is a stepping stone to marriage. Therefore, a boyfriend must meet all the requirements of the family before he can <strong>marry a Philippine girl</strong>. The Filipina girl is also expected to guard herself and to be very strong and do not surrender to temptations so she can be pure for her future husband. It is also because most Filipino men in the Philippines usually are not willing to marry a Filipina girl who is not pure anymore. Her family will also feel ashamed of her disgrace. That is why for Philippine girls, a relationship is taken very seriously and marriage is a lifetime commitment.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What must be your next step after your graduation? Are you planning to stay and find a job just around your hometown? Or you want to fly and seek job overseas.</p>
<p>Well, if you have decided to extend your wings in a new environment, make sure that you do a research whether your education will be valued in other country.</p>
<p>If you studied in a distant learning program which is not affiliated with a large, mainstream institution there is a lesser chance that your profession will be given recognition in another place. But if you studied in a reputable college or university in North America, you are fortunate enough to be recognized and given job opportunities.</p>
<p>There’s also a disadvantage if you have completed an education where the set of rules vary from country to country, such as law, you have to take equivalency tests or re-certification before you qualify for a job.</p>
<p>Experts’ advice that before sending out your résumés, you must seek a professional association in your community to assist you in assuring that your profession will be respected in other countries and what will be the necessary documents that you should have in hand before applying.</p>
<p>The local professional groups will help you and give you connection with new people that might be of great help with your overseas job search.</p>
<p>It is also advised that you start doing it while you are still studying. You can ask your international office and career office for some details about work-abroad programs that are available for you. Having a program that is related with your education is a big help for your career training.</p>
<p>On the other hand, if you are looking for a job that is not in any way related in your field but you are sure that you are flexible enough to do it well. Then it is a must that you have a legal job waiting for you in the host country before heading abroad.</p>
<p>One of the more exiting jobs is to work in a Zoo in Australia.</p>

In the last few years Thailand has been importing foreign teachers. This is an attempt by the country to augment the need for proficient English speaking teachers in their schools. If you are a teacher, then you may have the chance of moving to Thailand.
Some foreign teachers in Thailand earn upwards of 1500 US dollars monthly, but some are earning less. The salary rate is higher in private institutions compared to government and public schools.

<p>In the last few years Thailand has been importing foreign teachers. This is an attempt by the country to augment the need for proficient English speaking teachers in their schools. If you are a teacher, then you may have the chance of moving to Thailand.</p>
<p>Some foreign teachers in Thailand earn upwards of 1500 US dollars monthly, but some are earning less. The salary rate is higher in private institutions compared to government and public schools. Teachers can also work in hotels in Thailand. Most of the top hotels in the country house English language trainers for their staff. This type of job is often easier than teaching in school and the pay is good too.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-504" title="Filipino Teaching English in Thailand" src="http://myblueheart.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/thailand_teaching1_400.jpg" alt="Filipino Teaching English in Thailand" width="377" height="268" /></p>
<p>Having a training certificate in TESL or Teaching English as a Second Language may not be necessary. But it will certainly give the applicant an edge over the competition.  Some schools even give applicants a bonus if they have had TESL training before application.</p>
<p><strong>Why English?</strong></p>
<p>With students whose English skills are less than desirable. And with the world being more globally connected – English skills are becoming all the more imperative. That is why other Asian countries now are looking for teachers who can conduct classes in perfect English.</p>
<p><strong>Other Subjects</strong></p>
<p>Other than the pressing need for English teachers in Thailand, the country is also in need of teachers proficient in other subjects. They are hiring English speaking teachers no matter what their base subjects are. This is all part of the plan to allow their younger generation to learn English proficiently.</p>
<p><strong>Finding a Job</strong></p>
<p>Teachers who wish to teach in Thailand can find a job among the many recruitment agencies in the country. They can also try their luck at one of the job hunting sites all over the internet. However, teachers should always be wary of the threat of illegal recruitment. Before investing anything they should always see to it that the processes are legal. They can verify with the Thai Ministry of Education to see if the school they are applying to is legitimate.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[According to Peggy Vaughan, the author of &#8220;The Monogamy Myth,&#8221; 60 percent of men and 40 percent of women will have an affair at some point in their marriage. In other words, the person who stays monogamous within her marriage is among a growing minority.
Twelve years into my marriage, I can appreciate that statistic. Eric and I are getting to the hard part, where the pressing responsibilities of raising kids and growing two careers could easily blow apart the vows we recited on our wedding day.
Because I want my marriage to stay on the happy side of the statistics, I&#8217;ve gathered these tips for how to make marriage affair-proof.

1. Nurture Safe Friendships.
This is the most important affair-preventer in my life.  <a style='color:red;' href='http://myblueheart.org/filipina/how-to-prevent-your-husband-from-cheating.html' title='Click here to read more about How To Prevent Your Husband From Cheating'>More &#187;</a>]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>According to Peggy Vaughan, the author of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Monogamy-Myth-Personal-Handbook-Recovering/dp/1557045429" target="_blank">&#8220;The Monogamy Myth,&#8221;</a> 60 percent of men and 40 percent of women will have an affair at some point in their marriage. In other words, the person who stays monogamous within her marriage is among a growing minority.</p>
<p>Twelve years into my marriage, I can appreciate that statistic. Eric and I are getting to the hard part, where the pressing responsibilities of raising kids and growing two careers could easily blow apart the vows we recited on our wedding day.</p>
<p>Because I want my marriage to stay on the happy side of the statistics, I&#8217;ve gathered these tips for how to make marriage affair-proof.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-319" title="Beach in the Philiphines" src="http://myblueheart.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/bora024_400.jpg" alt="Beach in the Philiphines" width="400" height="300" /><br />
<strong>1. Nurture Safe Friendships.</strong></p>
<p>This is the most important affair-preventer in my life. No marriage can give you everything. A husband is going to have interests that his wife will never care about like fishing, hunting, or golfing. So he&#8217;s less likely to stray if he can find some good guy buddies with whom to fish, hunt, and golf.</p>
<p><strong>2. Recognize the Drug. </strong></p>
<p>Depressives and addicts are especially prone to affairs because of the head rush that comes with infatuation. The spikes in dopamine and norepinephrine we experience upon connecting with someone new fools us into thinking that the sexy man or attractive woman at the bar holds the key to our nirvana and the end to our problems. This is the same as, say, the high from cocaine. Recognizing that that rush is not real, meaningful, or lasting, can help a married person to &#8220;just say no.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>3. Keep Dating. </strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;m serious here. Visiting with your spouse with some regularity&#8211;just the two of you and no one else&#8211;will bring some very definite rewards to a marriage. By dating, you will learn how to talk to each other again.</p>
<p>In her book, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Mating-Captivity-Unlocking-Erotic-Intelligence/dp/0060753641" target="_blank">&#8220;Mating in Captivity,&#8221;</a> Esther Perel urges a client to imagine her spouse as if she has just met him, to put him into that mysterious category again. This is really hard when you got a little one screaming, &#8220;Wipe me!&#8221; from the bathroom. However, when you can pull it off, I find her theory very effective.</p>
<p><strong>4. Find a Creative Outlet.</strong></p>
<p>People get lured into emotional and physical affairs because the infatuation provides an exciting, stimulating place where they are energized.</p>
<p>So to stay affair-proof, you have to find other sources of stimulation and excitement. For me, my blog is that outlet. I can&#8217;t wait to log on each day to see what all of my dear readers have to say. When I get overwhelmed by the domestic chaos of our lives, Beyond Blue provides me that outlet where I can create something new, where I can run away, however temporarily, from the stress.</p>
<p><strong>5. Hang Out with Happy Couples. </strong></p>
<p>If you&#8217;re hanging with a bunch of guys (or girls) that see nothing wrong with sleeping around, you are much more likely to do it yourself. The good news is that the opposite is also true. If you have a set of friends committed to their marriages, you will be less likely to cheat on your spouse.</p>
