    SuperD started the topic How To Edit Blog Post Which Is Still Still In 'Awaiting Approval'? in the forum Group logo of About LiteracyBaseAbout LiteracyBase 8 years ago

    Lets just say I commit another mistake in my post and I wanted to edit some of it in my ‘awaiting approval’ article. The problem, I cannot find an edit button or feature for me to do it. There must be some way to do it, can you please educate me about this?

    SuperD wrote a new post, Philippines Celebrating Eid’l Adha 8 years ago

    Today, the Philippines is non-working holiday in observance Feast of Sacrifice of our countrymen Muslims. Though the red date is September 13 which is Tuesday in our calendar but our government made the holiday […]

    • The news I woke up to this morning was about a mosque being vandalized in broad daylight. I guess the vandal was taking advantage of the holiday being celebrated. I don’t know the whole story. But I do know these acts don’t solve any problems or correct anything. The good news is that they were caught on camera.

      • That is really a bad news because Muslims are celebrating the feast of sacrifice. Respect for other people’s belief should always be given importance. We might have difference in faith but we are all still brothers and sisters and nobody will respect each other but us. Those suspects should be punish.

    • I have heard some stories and even view in facebook updates that some of our Overseas Filipino Workers especially the Domestic Helpers can received some gifts from their employers. In my interview with Imam, he said this is common, they slaughter some animals and give the meat to the needy and poor people.

    • Oh..This is a good development towards religious tolerance. Even then,in some parts of Philippines, there are some stray incidents over religion take place. We can not find fault with them as they happen with a spur of emotion. However, such incidents are very rare in every country. Clashes over religious grounds are almost fading away but are being replaced with terrorist activities. This is the sorry state of affairs prevailing in every country.

    bestwriter wrote a new post, Using Leftovers so that Food is Not Wasted 8 years ago

     

     I read somewhere where the user claimed that in their household they never eat food that is left over but it is fed to the dustbins not even to the poor or to animals. 

    I think wasting food is a cr […]

    • I love leftovers. I don’t do this any more because there are usually no leftovers at my house. But when I was a kid, my late mother used to like smother her meats in gravy. Smothered chicken. Smothered pork chops. Etc. There was never any meat left but sometimes there was leftover gravy. I would save it and the next day for lunch, I would warm up the gravy and pour it over 2 slices of bread. It was sooo good! It was just bread and gravy but I loved it! 🙂

      • It is meaningless when food is thrown away. Apart from money spent just look at the labour that has gone into preparing it. The leftover curry when condensed tastes delicious.

        • Once saw a documentary on television showing how much food Americans were throwing away. Mind you! They hadn’t even cooked the food! They were throwing away food that was in their freezer that they bought to eat, but never got around to eating it! Can you believe it? That would bother my conscience. 🙁

          • I have seen the pantries of many there. They do not even know what they have in there and keep buying more stuff. My first visit to a restaurant in New York shocked me when I saw garbage bins packed to capacity

    • I agree… I never throw away food. I find someway to eat everything I cook.

      • I do the same theresa rice I freeze or otherwise I have 2 dogs I put scraps into the pot and cook it up for my dogs they love it gravy curry etc put on bread next day tastes delicious

        • I have always saved food and eaten it a few days later after steaming. It tastes as fresh and it does not bore me either.

      • People think throwing away food is a status symbol

    • First of all those people who say that cannot eat left overs are just pretenders. What is so wrong with eating left over good that has only been refrigerated for only one or two days? It is not spoilt neither does it small so why reject it? Anyway we all he e out reasons but I don’t agree with people of that nature. I personally feel so bad when I see people throw away food when there are people out there who are scavenging in the dustbins like dogs to find something to eat. Instead of throwing that good why not store it well in a container and give it to someone who is begging on Thu street? To them it wouldn’t want to know if it was cooked yesterday or the day before all that want is something to munch on.to contribute on the part of cooking just enough could be tricky sometimes, why not add just a little more so that if may a visitor comes calling in without notice that can eat we all know about those kinds of visitors who just decide to come over your place because they were in the neighbourhood. So at least keep a little more for such things when they come up. I tried to do that one time in my house then my sister passed by and she happened to be hungry when she asked for good i told her that we had just had lunch and her next answer was why do you cook little good don’t you have good in this house? Then I told her no that’s not the issue I just don’t want left overs and she said you chasing away visitors because you don’t want to cook. I felt so bad and ever since whenever I cook there is always an extra plate just in case hahaha.

      • Your sister is so right.
        We always have food just in case someone turns up without notice there is something to feed them.

    • We never feed leftovers to our pets. They have their own different food. All leftovers are stacked up and frozen to be eaten later on may be even after few days.

    I had an argument with my husband one day and left the house in an angry mood. But I hoped that I did not die before I returned as that would mean I would die without making up. 

    Let not such a s […]

    • Sorting out is done eventually but it can be made easy if only we keep everything in order.

    • Opps, only those aged 40 years up can think of dying and preparing everything before dying. Though your article is helpful but we should not think too much of these. We are here to enjoy life and not making ourself stress with this thinking. Relax. We think too much.

    • We have always been adviced that if your married you should never go to sleep when your angry, or leave the house when angry at your spouse. Like you ha e said it has never been easy for spouses to always be in good terms but it always helps to say sorry it keeps anger away. It would be very sad to actually leave the house when your in bad terms with your spouse for you never know what would happen to them, that’s th3 most unforgiving thing anyone would have to go through and it causes a lot of unrest in one’s heart so I totaly after with the above statements makes a lot of sense.

    A female pastor in died in a road accident while his husband who is also a pastor was in in critical condition when they were slammed into an Elf van in a vehicular accident happened in the national road, […]

    • Just this morning I learned that even the husband pastor died in hospital. I learned this from a person who belong to their sect that told me the husband did not survive the operation.

      Its accident happened in an area where many accidents have had happened there. Many lives have been sacrificed in the said place.

    • May his soul rest in peace. Motor bikes ar3 a sure way of getting to where your going fast but th3 bad thing is that it carries with it a lot of dangers. Many people don’t see them as dangers but they ar3. If only th3 riders could be more cautious and try their luck with cars. They need to take extra care especially when it rains. Back in our country this accidents are pretty much an everyday occurence and it’s really taking a toll on families, where people are taking into riding without taking proper riding lessons before they get to the roads.very unfortunate.

    • This is a case of overtaking. while overtaking generally the youth can not guess the speed required while overtaking a front vehicle. They should also know how to handle the situation if any vehicle comes in the front. They do not have any estimation and are prone to such accidents. Here the motorbike driver and the pillion rider both expired. Both are above 45. Why and how he took such a decision to overtake another vehicle is really not coming to my understanding.

      The road conditions also are responsible for such accidents. The position is not good with India also. Here also the manholes are not covered properly with responsibility and sometimes during rainy season people disappear into the manholes. But, the opposition doie not make an issue over such incidents. They make out an issue over other indecent , indisciplined activities.
