I have this penchant for lamps, for flashlights and anything that provides light. Maybe because I abhor darkness, so flashlights are among my top choices when buying gifts.

I am afraid of eating genetically-modified foods, too! It is better safe than sorry; so I prefer organically-grown or naturally-grown fruits and vegetables. I also grow some of my vegetables in our small garden. It is always nice to harvest from your own plants.

It is cheaper if one will make his/her own gift like a card or any craft. Any mother would appreciate the gesture!

Thanks, @Christian! It is true, sometimes we are too happy to bond with friends and relatives so we tend to overeat and forget about the planned dieting! Anyway, just do more exercises, and have a strict diet onwards!

I have some Aloe vera plants here at home. Yes, it has many food uses.

It is the culture of Filipinos to offer so much food during fiestas; quite lavish. And they will feel sorry if you will not eat in their house! So what we do is just eat a bit, then if they are my siblings, I just tell them I will take home that food! ha ha ha! so I will not cook the following day!

You are right, it is so hard without a Mom to attend to the needs of her children. I am sorry to know that you lost your Mom when you were just 8 years old. So that situation made you a stronger person and be responsible at a very young age, so with your sister!

Children should love their mothers, because mothers love them unconditionally.

Happy Mother’s Day to you if you are a mother! Yes, I got a lot of greetings on Facebook from friends and relatives and from my son and her girlfriend!

Only ignorant people will criticize those belonging to ethnic groups. They do not know and appreciate what is beautiful in a culture or not. Never mind them, they need to be educated to appreciate anyone, who are God’s beautiful creations.

I agree, the Admin should remove the Media Library because anyone can use it without the owner’s consent. Just like what a member here had done to me; she used my photos several times, even the one with my name watermarked on it. She/he apologized and promised not to do it again. So the solution is to remove that feature here.

It is a good law, and should be strictly implemented to safeguard lives of passengers, even of the drivers. If they wanted to answer an emergency call or a text, they should stop at the roadside to attend to it.

While on the road, I can see people doing that, driving while talking on their cellphones, even those who are on motorcycles!

Thanks Cely, Yes, everyone is so excited about it. But I cannot wear those skimpy swimsuits because I do not have beautiful legs and body! ha ha ha! That is one of my weakness, wearing short shorts! I wish I have beautiful legs! ha ha ha! About the photos, we should use Pixabay photos here, not our own photos because people from somewhere can use…[Read more]

It is true, it show’s man’s inhumanity! If all of us would be responsible enough, we can enjoy pristine waters, clean and cool air, and lots of food on the table. If only we care a lot for the environment.

It is so saddening to see a sea creature who died due to man’s irresponsibility! It is cruelty to animals and to man itself because whatever we eat that is taken from polluted sea can be dangerous!

Good to know about the strict implementation of handling garbage in New Zealand, along with other countries. In the Philippines we have strict laws too, but I wish all the people will follow it, because everyone could be affected if our seas are polluted!
