Buy Eyeglasses Online: Vision & Fashion the Frugal Way

A month ago, CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) published a piece of news about purchasing eyeglasses online; a month later, this news has already been commented on by thousands of people. With the rise of purchasing eyeglasses online, more and more eyeglass wearers have begun to focus their attention on it. However, with regard to buying eyewear online, some support it while others still have doubts about it. What has turned numerous eyeglass wearers from traditional brick-and-mortar eyeglass stores to online ones? Firmoo's slogan tells you everything: Vision and Fashion the Frugal Way.

Most eyeglasses wearers have purchased eyeglasses at traditional eyeglass stores. Nevertheless, due to the limited styles and unaffordable prices, consumers have had to regard eyeglasses as a medical tool used to correct vision instead of a fashion accessory. But now, with the emergence of online eyeglass shopping, we can get fashionable eyeglasses at reasonable prices. Among the many online eyeglass stores, Firmoo, which combines fashion and economy, is undoubtedly the most outstanding one.

As we all know, we usually have to spend hundreds of dollars on a pair of glasses at brick-and-mortar eyeglass stores. Yet, you can get the same pair of glasses from online eyeglass stores at a fraction of the price. For this reason, buying glasses online is, so to speak, quite an economical way to get eyeglasses. Among the numerous online optical stores, Firmoo is the most economic one. Customers can usually get their beloved glasses at a price that is up to 90% lower than that in brick-and-mortar eyeglass stores. Furthermore, new customers can even get their first pair for FREE there. Some people may doubt the quality, safety, durability, etc. of eyeglasses purchased online, but there is no need to worry when purchasing from Firmoo. Firstly, all glasses provided by Firmoo are carefully manufactured by skilled workers and are strictly inspected by professional opticians before shipment, thus ensuring the quality and safety of glasses; secondly, Firmoo has developed a try-on tool for customers to try their beloved eyeglasses on so as to see how they look on them; thirdly, Firmoo has a customer service team that has always been committed to offering their valued customers the best service; lastly, all glasses available at Firmoo are provided by their affiliated factory, which is why they can offer eyeglasses at such a low price.

"We have dozens of affiliated eyeglasses factories which enable us to provide our customers with the most affordable eyeglasses around because there are no middlemen in between. Meanwhile, we have devoted ourselves to providing our valued customers with fashionable and aesthetic eyeglasses," said Patrick Li, Firmoo's CEO.

Compared with purchasing eyeglasses at brick-and-mortar eyeglass stores, purchasing eyeglasses online is not only more economical but also enables customers to select from more fashion elements. This is due to Firmoo meticulously picking several hundred classic styles from thousands of eyeglass models.

Firmoo CEO Patrick Li also added, "Our team has selected hundreds of classical and fashionable styles in order to save time for our customers when they are picking eyeglasses."

Tatay ng Tahanan

Ama ng tahanan, haligi ng pamilya o padre de pamilya. Ano nga ba ang mga reponsibilidad na kaakibat ng mga katagang ito? Si Ina naman ang ilaw ng tahanan. Paano kaya kung nabaliktad ang kanilang mundo? Si nanay ang magtra-trabaho at si tatay naman ang magsisilbing ilaw sa tahanang iiwan ni nanay.

Kasabay ng pag-ikot ng mundo ay ang mga pagbabago sa mga bagay na atin nang kinagisnan o kinasanayan. Tulad ng pangkaraniwang setting ng isang pamilya, nagbabago na rin. Kung dati ang ama lang ang nagtratrabaho, at ang ina ang nag-aalaga sa mga bata at naglilinis ng bahay, ngayon, pwede ng pareho sila ang nagtratrabaho, o kaya naman ay ang nanay na lamang ang nagbabanat ng buto at ang tatay naman ang nangangasiwa sa bahay.

Sa nakagisnan nating pamumuhay si ama ang nagtratrabaho para mabuhay ang kanyang pamilya, siya ang nasusunod at nagpapasya. Sa kabilang dako ay tungkulin niyang pakainin, bigyan ng matitirahan at pag-aralin ang mga miyembro ng kanyang pamilya. Kaya siya ang nagtatrabaho at kumikita ng pera. Ang ina naman ang bahala sa bahay at sa pag-aalaga ng mga bata. Siya ang humahawak ng pera ng pamilya at pinagkakasya ito sa pangangailangan ng pamilya. Ang mga anak naman ay may responsibilidad rin. Sagutin nila ang mahusay na pag-aaral at ang pagtulong sa bahay.

Sa kasalukuyan, maraming ina ng tahanan ang ngayon ay aktibong katuwang ng kanilang mga ama sa paghahanapbuhay o kung minsan pa, ay mag-isang bumubuhay sa kanyang pamilya. Unti-unti ng natatanggap na si tatay ang gumagawa ng responsibilidad na naiiwan ni nanay habang siya na ang nagbabanat ng buto para sa pamilya. Dahil dito, ang mga inang nanunungkulan sa labas ng tahanan ay umaasa sa kanilang asawa upang makatuwang sa mga gawaing bahay tulad ng paglilinis, paglalaba at pag-aalaga ng kanilaang mga anak.

Ang tawag sa mga lalaking ganito ang kinahinatnan ay “House Husband”. Hindi maipagkakaila na lalong dumarami ang mga lalaking ganito dahil na rin sa napakaraming oportunidad na ang ibinibigay sa mga babae, ang mga trabaho na dati ay sa mga lalaki lang ibinibigay ay naibibigay na din sa mga kababaihan kaya lalong nawawalan ng oportunidad ang mga kalalakihan.

Parenting Styles

Developmental psychologists have long been interested in how parents impact child development. However, finding actual cause-and-effect links between specific actions of parents and later behavior of children is very difficult. Some children raised in dramatically different environments can later grow up to have remarkably similar personalities. Conversely, children who share a home and are raised in the same environment can grow up to have astonishingly different personalities than one another.

The Four Parenting Styles

Authoritarian Parenting
In this style of parenting, children are expected to follow the strict rules established by the parents. Failure to follow such rules usually results in punishment. Authoritarian parents fail to explain the reasoning behind these rules. If asked to explain, the parent might simply reply, "Because I said so." These parents have high demands, but are not responsive to their children. According to Baumrind, these parents "are obedience- and status-oriented, and expect their orders to be obeyed without explanation" (1991).

Authoritative Parenting
Like authoritarian parents, those with an authoritative parenting style establish rules and guidelines that their children are expected to follow. However, this parenting style is much more democratic. Authoritative parents are responsive to their children and willing to listen to questions. When children fail to meet the expectations, these parents are more nurturing and forgiving rather than punishing. Baumrind suggests that these parents "monitor and impart clear standards for their children’s conduct. They are assertive, but not intrusive and restrictive. Their disciplinary methods are supportive, rather than punitive. They want their children to be assertive as well as socially responsible, and self-regulated as well as cooperative" (1991).

Permissive Parenting
Permissive parents, sometimes referred to as indulgent parents, have very few demands to make of their children. These parents rarely discipline their children because they have relatively low expectations of maturity and self-control. According to Baumrind, permissive parents "are more responsive than they are demanding. They are nontraditional and lenient, do not require mature behavior, allow considerable self-regulation, and avoid confrontation" (1991). Permissive parents are generally nurturing and communicative with their children, often taking on the status of a friend more than that of a parent.

Uninvolved Parenting
An uninvolved parenting style is characterized by few demands, low responsiveness and little communication. While these parents fulfill the child's basic needs, they are generally detached from their child's life. In extreme cases, these parents may even reject or neglect the needs of their children.

sibling rivalry

Isa sa nakakagulat na balita ang kumalat bago sumapit ang araw ng undas hinggil umano sa pagkakabaril na naging sanhi ng pagkamatay ng anak ni dating Senador Ramon Revilla Sr. na si Ramgen Bautista.

Ayon sa mga lumalabas na report ang tinuturong master mind ng pagkakamatay ni Ramgen ay ang kanyang mga kapatid. Bagama’t hindi pa napapatunayan ang tinuturong dahilan ng kanilang alitan o ang tinatawag na sibling rivalry. Ngunit ano nga ba ang sibling rivalry? Paano ito nagsisimula at paano ito maiiwasan?

Ang sibling rivalry o hidwaan ng magkakapatid sa loob ng pamilya ay normal at bahagi ng buhay ng isang pamilya. Makikita ito sa pamilyang Pilipino. Ayon kay Dr. Eduardo Caligner, isang guidance counselor at psychologist, bahagi ang sibling rivalry sa paglaki ng magkakapatid, bahagi ng buhay sapagkat sa hidwaan o alitan may natutunan din sila: natututo silang makipag-negotiate, maaari silang matuto ng pakikipag-compromise, maaari silang matuto ng conflict management. Madalas, kailangan ang pagkakaroon ng hidwaan or conflict.

Maaring maging healthy ang sibling rivalry ngunit kapag hindi napuna o napansin ng mga magulang, maaaring ma-reinforce at maging mas negatibo ang epekto nito sa mga magkakapatid.

Madalas na nagkakaroon ng hidwaan ang magkapatid na belonging to the same age level or psychological stage. Halimbawa ang apat na taon at ang limang taon: magkakapareho sila ng mga psychological needs, kaya sa isang pamilya, kung ano ang bibilhin ng nanay sa kanyang isang anak, kailangang bibilhan din niya ang isa pa niyang anak. Kung magkalayo ang agwat ng kanilang edad, hindi masyadong halata or maigting, pero kapag magkalapit, kapuna-puna.

Upang maiwasan ang pagkakaroon ng sibling rivalry dapat ay mas maging sensitibo ang mga magulang sa mga pangangailangan ng kanilang mga anak. Bigyan ito ng pantay-pantay na atensyon at papuri upang hindi sila pag-isipan na mayroong favoritism. Isa ang favoritism sa nagiging dahilan ng rivalry sa pamilya. Mapupuna na lutang na lutang sa lower class ng isang pamilya ang favoritism, kung sino ang mas productive na anak ay mas napapaboran at kung sino ang mas magaling, mas matalino, mas napupuri at nabibigyan ng atensyon. Sa ganitong pagkakataon nagkakaroon ng inggit at resentment at ang pagpapahayag nito ay sa paraan ng galit.

Tandaan na ang bawat bata ay nangangailangan ng sapat na atensyon at pagmamahal at iba-iba ang paraan ng pagpapahayag nila o paghingi nila ng pagmamahal. Mahalagang kilala ng mga magulang ang kanilang mga anak upang maibigay nila ang atensyon at pagmamahal na hinahanap ng mga bata.
