I love coconut food delicacies like the ones you posted here. It is indeed a tree of life with so many uses from its roots to leaves.

I never knew that part “ubod” could be eaten ..i thought you posted a photo of a bamboo shoots but when I googled it it was really ubod..

buko indeed is very useful and deserves to be called “the tree of life” .. we have lots of coconut trees around and just last night I made a buko ice cream.

I think a coconut tree was probably in the Garden of Eden. Eden was a paradise. A coconut is a fruit of paradise. Seems a logical thought. 🙂 I do love coconut!

The Lenten season always begin with remembering the Temptation of Jesus. This shows that even the most powerful of persons can go through temptations. Jesus shows us how to properly refuse to give in to temptation. The three temptations of Jesus show us that the categories of temptation include food, riches and glory. By refusing to submit to these sins we reaffirm our allegiance to God.This is no a one time things but a daily rejecting which we must endure.

Yes, I even posted that it’s already summer already, since the past 5 days before today, it was so sunny always. But last night too it rained a bit. Then this morning it was a bit gloomy and it drizzled. But as of now, I can see the sun shining again.

Well, I like it if summer is like this- a rain once in a while. At least, it won’t dry the fields and the plants and will not be so hot.

But as to exercising, I just exercise at home, in our bedroom actually, in the space like a small sala , while my hubby sleeps. No need to go out. I just dance like crazy so all my body will be shaken. I do dancing, some dumb bells exercise and the tummy trimmer. At least, it helps me to lose some unwanted fats, even for a bit. ha ha ha

This day it rains so hard here and thankful for my decision to time out under time because I see dark clouds . I was so afraid . I remember the last months flood in our university when 5,000 were stranded, water height was so high. When i arrived home the rain dropped so hard. I am afraid I will wake up too early tomorrow to avoid walking again in muddy road where the bridge is still on renovation, We feel so sad whenever it rains here,yes it is summer but ket us be thankful that there is rain sometimes to let plants grow and survive.

I hope you can have your usual activity tomorrow.

Very useful article for garden lovers. Especially for those who would want to grow organic vegetable in their own garden. I used to put seeds of leafy vegetables and they used to grow in the garden without much effort similarly chilli, lady’s finger, brinjal and tomato too used to grow easily. Now we are having the season of mango’s and they are growing well and so do we have coconut trees and guava. If one likes to spend time and do gardening it is very good. Gardening also acts as a therapy.

It is very nice and useful to garden.

We do not need to spray pesticides because eventually it will be absorbed by the plant and it will endanger our health. It will also poison the soil. Yes, gardening is a nice activity.

How I like to have veggie garden at home, but we have smaller space in the city unlike in the province.When I was a teenager, I liked to live in the province for I liked to plant fruits and vegetables, but when I graduated in college and acquired a property in the city the house and lot and work here too, I no longer had planted a single veggie and fruit.At home this time grown in the yard two grown ups moringa hehehehe. Every morning, as usual as a Filipino with east breakfast usually fish tinola and we add some moringa leave and tomatoes, onion, that always make our day fulfilled.

Gardens so nice, my teens love it and set lot of hours, plated garden still should be given lots of work and sttnetion and this and that, like spending money for the soil and the plants it selves, but its good thing to enjoy at the end of the day or morning when you wake up hold you cup of hot chocolate and enjoy the view

Gardening is really good, it can relieve you of stress, and produce your own food. But as much as possible, do not use pesticides because it is harmful to the body and to the environment.

Children should be taught not to lie. It is the parent’s role to be good models; show them that it is always good to be honest. White lies are sometimes acceptable and it is good to protect the child or the family; but there are lies which should really be stopped. As they say, a liar is comparable to a thief!

Agree with you as a thumb rule children in the first place should not be taught to lie and they should be told to be honest. I have seen many children tell white lies which I accept as they are being done in a mature way not to cause trouble to someone they like or respect and as it does not do any damage. Children start lying as they are in the age group of three to five once they start meeting and mingling with other children who are their peers.

Lying is not a good thing as it build up negative emotions in the person who is indulging in it. One more thing is one lie leads to another and the list goes on and one until the day the bitter truth is out the the individual or the child has been lying all the time. In the case of adults they lose confidence of the society and in the workplace. In the case of children it becomes to give trust him after the dose he has given the parents once. In both the cases they are not trustworthy after the event. Even if we would want to give one more chance we will always have a nagging doubt. Thanks for the input.

Road rage happens anywhere, with the busy, congested roads where motorists all wanted to reach their destinations in an instant. What you mentioned embodied all the things that a driver needs to keep in mind while he is on the road; for his safety, for other’s safety, and for his family.
