What kind of mangoes do you have in your yard? Ours are only Indian mangoes, but they really are abundant this summer.

We have them in our own yard and they have lots of fruits. So, every after meal we would eat them sliced and we dip them in sauteed shrimp paste. But for the ripe ones we would just slice them and eat them as is.

In my parents’ house they have the “dayap” or lime and they are also fruiting. They also have the “kalamansi” , Philippines’ version of lemons. They also have the passion fruits and they have fruits also. Then, they also have guavas. They have “atis” also.

Summer can indeed be the season for these fruits and it is just one of the advantages of summer. Though, it’s the heat that I hate about summer, but I love the fruits it brings.

So sad, we do not have fruits in our yard.We lack space unlike in the province. When our property was not sold we had many fruits like papaya, juicy jackfruit, pomelo, bananas, avocados, and Indian mangoes. How nice to see them turning yellow ready to pick.I missed those days in the province.

There are lots of mangoes now; even in the market, they sell quite cheap. We are blessed with so much fruits all year round because of our climate.

That is nice, your children will grow mature, responsible and loving. At home my nephew kids ages 7 and 5 have pet rooster and hen.How nice to cook them hehehe.

In my parent’s house too, where my single nephews who are already professionals live, there are a lot of pets.

At the porch, there are hedgehogs and their house is in one corner of the porch, owned by my gay nephew. He also have 2 tsih tzu.

Then, there’s an aquarium, where there is a big Arwana, it’s also owned by my other nephew who lives in a separate house but on the compound of the family. There, they still have 2 aquariums too of different fishes. He also have a dog, a pincher.

Then another nephew have 2 Belgian Malinois, the female gave birth a year ago to 9 puppies, unfortunately recently they get afflicted by a virus and six died.

My parents have local dogs or aspins and they were all spread over the lawn at the backyards. We have 2 of them.

Before, the nephew who owns the aquariums, also have a parrot. Unluckily, it was suddenly gone from its cage.

So, my parents house too is full of pets. ha ha ha

We have to be extra careful this time.

I pray that the Martial Law declared in Marawi will turn out for the good of the place. For me, it is needed.

We cannot let those terrorists reign. We need to arrest their terrorism and I hope the armed forces will win against those groups.

I hope and pray that peace will reign again and pray also that those soldiers be safe from the fighting.

The problem of terrorism is increasing all over the world. Some religious organizations have promoted it. Now it’s time to eradicate them from the world. All countries should come together to resolve this problem.

Whether there is Martial Law or none, the government should do it’s best to eradicate the terrorists. I pity the affected civilians!

The Philippines has been through some hardships.It seems that history repeats itself. In World War II, The Japanese invaded the island and caused atrocities, destroying villages and other unspeakable horrors. Now we have ISIS, who are doing the same. The world need to take this example from our friends in the Philippians–Terrorism is real and needs to be stopped. Today it is them, tomorrow it might be in your back yard. Let’s pray for the Philippians and believe for protection and God’s grace for that beloved land.

The programs I miss are Baywatch , Hawaii Five O, McGiver and some other more, that I forgot the titles of the shows. And those were American TV shows.

But for Filipino shows, I love Home ALong Da Riles, Palibhasa Lalake and a lot more titles I also forgot.

So, all of these I can watch at Vintage?

What a cute image

That is true. Just do what you can to show and improve your gifts.

Don’t other people’s comments because they say it to disappoint you and not continue shining. That’s because the don’t want to be outshined.

But make sure that when you improve your talents and abilities don’t trample on others feet. Stay humble.

It takes a lot of self-confidence for one to nurture his talents. His family and close friends or relatives should be supportive too for him to fully develop and share those faculties.
