Have heard so much about this exotic fruit and still have yet to taste it. I have never seen it at the grocery store but it will probably be expensive because they would likely have to import it.

Interesting to learn about dragon fruit, thanks! I’ve never tried it, and I don’t know if it’s sold here. I’ll have to research that!

I had a cactus which looked exactly like the image you have uploaded, with flowers and all but I did not see any fruit.
I have learnt something new today.

Love doing it, the feeling of picking that fruit without even care pricking with its thorns.

Dragon fruit as far as I know is a very nutritious food.It is anti cancer fruit.It is also very expensive fruit,Though I haven’t tasted this fruit, somehow, I long to buy and taste this fruit. This is a rare fruit in our city. I only saw this kind one time.It was sold by a farm owner of dragon fruit.That time was the supposed best time for me to buy, but that was a Sunday and I was about to attend the mass. When i went out after the mass was over, gone was the big truck selling dragon fruits.

Really? I’ve never been heared about dragon fruits but i hope one day i can go to ilocos all the way from manila and see the hystorical place in Vigan. I think Vigan is one of Philippines’ most beautiful
cities, as it showcases the Spanish heritage of
the country.

This reminds of my first time eating this fruit. It was added on a fruit shake that I bought in our school. It kinda tasted like watermelon while the seeds were like nuts.

Really dragon fruit is one of the best and sweet fruit in Pataya and along with it is most useful for heath. I gives many benefits to human health. As…
Dragon Fruit Cholesterol
Keeping a heart healthy low cholesterol diet? Don’t worry about your cholesterol Dragon fruit cholesterol is not an issue. Dragon fruit is both low in cholesterol and has little to no unhealthy cholesterol producing fats (certain fats which are metabolized to cholesterol contribute to increased cholesterol levels more than even cholesterol itself in food sources of cholesterol).

Dragon Fruit Vitamin C
The amount of vitamin C in dragon fruit is high, and because the dragon fruit is a natural fruit providing you with a rich balance of nutrients coming along with the vitamin C, you absorb the Vitamin C in dragon fruit efficiently when you eat dragon fruit as part of your fruit healthy diet.

Dragon Fruit Antioxidants
Eat dragon fruit as a good natural source of anti-oxidants which help to prevent the dangers of free radicals which can cause cancer and other undesirable health detriments.The number, quantity, and variety of antioxidants in real foods like dragon fruit is completely unmatched by any food supplement or pills – even those claiming to have ‘antioxidant’ health benefits.

Nothing compares to the rich array of nutrients and antioxidants in a real natural food like the dragon fruit. Forget about junk foods and processed foods, as they are poison not foods! Even though a supplement claiming to offer a high amount of antioxidant benefits may sound good, the fact is that foods like dragon fruit have literally thousands of varieties of antioxidant substances and the supplement likely will contain only one (e.g. vitamin E supplements).

Taking a single megadose of a single antioxidant compound may in fact cause harm or be toxic! Stick with dragon fruit antioxidant sources and other fresh fruits and vegetables and avoid trying to take a shortcut through a pill.

Dragon fruit nutritional benefits also include the levels of dragon fruit antioxidants – the antioxidants in dragon fruit are numerous and varied.

That is true, many criminals do their dirty jobs during the height of heavy rain. so they won’t be notice.

Even if sunny or rainy theres a lot of criminals roaming out there like a lion looking for someone to devour. We should always check our house before going to sleep if all doors are tightly closed and we should be extra careful to trust a virtual stranger knocking at home. You could also installed a cctv camera to monitor the surrounding around your house if there is a intruder coming in. Always call the police for help.

Good thing we have a dog in our house. She’ll bark if someone comes in. Keeping a guard dog can go a long way, considering that they can help protect your house at times of need.

Rainy days ar3 very tricky for many people. In our country sometimes people dread sleeping at night for feet of being attacked when it is raining coz that’s when thugs take advantage of the situation. But nowadays it is not as rampant as it used to be before. We have all kinds of security measures that have been out in place to avoid thuggery, but all in all thugs will always be thugs if they want to steal that will steal it’s only God who watches over us.

You say right in rainy season most of the criminal roam in the street and roads to make robbery in the stores and shops because nobody come out their homes in the rainy season. But is it not the fault of rain but our society if full of criminals.

As we see in Saudi Arabia there is no robbery in rainy season or out of rainy season because in Saudi Arabia laws are most strict for any crime. If anyone is caught making theft or any other crime his anon hanged among the public. You can watch videos on U Tube how to cut off the head of the criminals among the mass.

That is why in European countries there is no hard punishment for the criminals who make theft. That is why criminal and culprits are at large in making thefts easily because they know they will be released after some years.

It is the fault of political parties that do not make strict laws for criminal and culprits. In Saudi Arabia if becomes any robbery and does not find the police the Saudi Government pays the damages anon to the victims.

When I watch the news on television, I usually see the same stories everyday. Someone got killed here, another died over there. They only change the name and how they died. Its so boring that I sometimes miss the good stuff that they put up in order to get viewers watching.

Part of me gets happy when the weather reports that there is a hurricane. I’m happy for the rain or the water. But I get very happy if it by the time it reaches landfall it has died down enough not to do any real damage.

La Nina is a phenomenon which waters in the equatorial regions of the Pacific Ocean are unseasonably cool. The cooler waters affect the atmosphere above the ocean, causing significant changes in climate, though usually not as significant as the changes that occur during an El Niño. As a result of heavy rain clouds and trade winds it may effect into any form of calamities like heavy rain fall, flash flood, and landslide. We must be responsible to take care of mother nature and used our natural resource in a very convenient way without destroying its value.

This is a nice tribute to the late Michael Jackson. It’s true that the contributions of many humanitarians are under-appreciated and even unappreciated. But most humanitarians don’t do what they do to receive the praise of others anyway. It’s a good thing too because a lot of charitable works might not ever get done!

True that Michael Jackson was truly talented no one can beat him to that. Even though he is fine his presence in the music scene still lingers on. He was good at what he used to do. Who didn’t like his music? I don’t think there is anyone who would say that his music was bad or boring, I personally was a huge fun of Michael, and when he passed on I was very sad. Despite that happening his music always makes me smile because it lives in me. Many times you will find that when a person dies, whether it’s a celebrity or not, death will always bring unpleasant surprises. some people will take the advantage to spite whoever has died no matter what they did. So when someone dies you will always expect people talking bad, others will say how that person was not a peoples person or maybe he never used to help anyone so it’s expected. So Michael people loved him it’s just that they didn’t know what do when it was all over or how maybe they lacked a way that they would have come close to him but never got a chance that’s why they talked badly about him.

Indeed there are heroes apart from war heroes who help make a country strong.

I think I have heard of this day. Is it also called the Day of Valor?

You have missed to mention the parents, the mothers who have raised these men and women. Because of them, the heroes of today are made. The values they have learned from their parents. The attitudes that they possess in treating their fellow beings. Their traits of being polite, courteous and religious are all influenced by their parents.

I may consider my father as the hero in our family. Because of him, we were all educated. We had our education and professional which we’re proud of having them. My father is the best example we have in our family. No wonder why that we consider him the hero of our own family.

My mother is another heroine. She is working side by side with my father in rearing up and making us a law-abiding citizen of our community. She has taught us to be reverent and prayerful in all our undertaking. She has led us to be obedient, to be responsible for our own good. She has served as our model of righteousness.

They are our heroes. If they are living today, we would be glad to give them the best honor which the sons and daughter could give to their parents.

Indeed, facing tough circumstances can be tough but we have to move forward and not get overawed, even if it means some distress in the near term.

Sometimes we have to go through to get to. Endure…

A article which helps one to understand and prioritize what is important now and what one should do to see and arrive at the situation on would like himself or herself to be in. There are many situations which come in life which will be totally new and unexpected. Only experience teaches one how to handle those events.

It is better when troubles mount on us or when time is too bad to just stay put where we are and look for an opportune moment to move forward at the right time to the right place for getting the right results. Sometimes it is better to lose than try to win if the problem is unsurmountable give time to ourselves and regroup our energies and try to win again.

I think rain is extremely important to everyone whether you ar3 a farmer or not. The only thing I can say is that rain in th3 city sometimes can be a nuisance to the residents there because it ripples up a lot of things. Like for example when you think about driving to work in the morning or evening you will always be caught up in the jam, meaning you have to wake up extremely early to get to work on time, then you have to sacrifice something’s because you will leave the office late and get home late. So this are some of the inconveniences that people have to go through in th3 city when it rains. In fact most people in my country would rather use public means to get to where they’re going as opposed to using their cars, because you and up using too much petrol on the roads stuck in jams. For th3 farmer in the village to him rain is a blessing just like you ha e said. That is what they want and need so that their crops do not for it either in the hot sun. And we all know that when there is no rain food is a little bit scarce and it becomes very expensive. So when it rains they know that at th3 and of the day they will at least sell their produce and be able to take care of their families and also get some income out of it. So either way rain helps people in different ways there are those who do taxi business that’s also an opportunity for them to make money during those days. People ask willing to pay some extra money just to be dropped at their door step without having to hassle for public means.

rain is most important for all of us because it is rain that irrigates our land where there is no well water or electric pump water. It is most important for farmers in the villages and mountains where there is no way to plant the field.

Rain is the means by which fresh water is created; when it evaporates, water leaves behind its salt. … Rain fills aquifers, and it keeps rivers and lakes filled.

Humans depend on fresh water for survival. While it is possible to remove salt from ocean water through a process called desalinization, it is expensive, and the cost of transporting water inland is prohibitively costly. Rain fills aquifers, and it keeps rivers and lakes filled. Forms of life that depend on rivers would not have evolved without rain.

Rain has a number of effects on the environment. Many canyons and other natural features were shaped by rainwater eroding surfaces. The Grand Canyon was created by a river, which was fueled by rainfall. Many species of life in the ocean depend on minerals that flow from the land to the sea. Without rainwater, they would not be able to survive.

We cannot neglect the importance of rain in human life on earth. We must be thankful to God for rain.

I love to sleep. That’s a fact. But I always choose the place where I sleep. Like Shavkat up there, I am also really comfortable when alone. But that doesn’t mean that I’m a loner. I just love the quiet. This is why me and my friends are always together; we look for quiet places to hang out to because we would rather stay in those places to relax, sleep or talk about things that interests us. Or we could go to a bar and listen to the music while dancing. Haha

The best place of comfort on earth if the lap of other or the beloved’s heart and eyes and putting your head on the beloved’s coral breast and sleep for a long long time I am talking as a poet.

We are at our very best, and we are happiest, when we are fully engaged in work we enjoy on the journey toward the goal we’ve established for ourselves. It gives meaning to our time off and comfort to our sleep. It makes everything else in life so wonderful, so worthwhile. Earl Nightingale

I think a gentleman is someone who holds the comfort of other people above their own. The instinct to do that is inside every good man, I believe. The rules about opening doors and buying dinner and all of that other ‘gentleman’ stuff is a chess game, especially these days.

Love is cheering and sharing and compassion and giving and receiving. Love is an action thing more than a word thing, that brings comfort or joy or relief to anyone or anything.

There are many places which each individual can find peace and calm. You have covered many such places and methods by which one can do so. I find peace when alone and doing some work or being in some silent company. Not in a noisy group or a crowded area. There are several places where you can remove you stress and clutter in the mind.

Some of the places I find calm and peace are staying nearby a lake or water body and looking at the placid water, being at a place where you hear sounds of nature with greenery around. A place where there is a scenic view of mountains or plains or any other place which provides such picture postcard view. Looking at colors or paintings can also calm and remove stress. Hope this information is useful.

Overcoming negativity is tough, at times very much tougher if we have lots of such negative people around us, but we can overcome negativity if we are persistent and stick to our paths.

Always away from negative people who have negative thoughts in the brain such people are avoid of faith in God and his laws. The best took of keeping negativity away from yous is pray to God with sincere heart.

Just as toxic radiation is poison to our health, negative energy is also disastrous to human beings. Don’t be misled into thinking that because bad vibes are invisible or hard to identify at their source that they’re any less deadly to your creative genius than poisonous gas—they aren’t. And don’t be conned into believing that denying or ignoring negativity will protect you from its deadly effects either—it won’t.

how to Avoid Negativity Eight Important Steps to Follow

Run a “vibe check”. Recognize the quality of the energetic atmosphere at work every day. Simply testing the psychic temperature of the workplace will allow you to make the necessary adjustments to keep your own energy intact.

If you sense dissonance, take a deep breath. Get grounded, surround yourself with positive vibes, and resolve that you won’t let anything you encounter throw you off center.

Resolve to let the negativity bounce off you. Don’t take any negativity you run into personally. Commit to focusing only on your goals and intentions for the day.

Acknowledge the bad vibes. Recognize them in some way, if only to yourself—but be discreet and subtle. You don’t need to announce them to the entire office. This will only spread the negativity you want to clear even more.

Be kind, loving, and patient with those around you because they need it. Focus on work, and if negative conversation arises, listen neutrally and compassionately if you can’t gracefully get away.
Observe, don’t absorb what’s going on around you. If you can unobtrusively escape, do so. Your feet are two of your most powerful defenses against negativity. Turn them in the opposite direction of the problem and leave.

If you can’t make a run for it, surrender and accept the situation. Give the bad-vibe dispenser (BVD) your complete attention for a full five minutes. Encourage this person to complain, gossip, attack, and whine to their heart’s content.

Just listen, breathe, and stay neutral—don’t engage, resonate, or rescue. When the five minutes have passed, ask with complete sincerity if there’s anything you can personally do to help right now. If you hear, “Yes, there is,” and you can help, then do so. If you hear, “No, not really,” then say, “I’m sorry. I really hope it works out.” Then go back to work.

Not just beautiful but an interesting history as well.

sometimes we forget to stop from our busy lives and take a minute to admire the beauty of nature. it’s the simple things that bring us happiness

This is one of the beautiful scenic location in Ilocos Sur. The scene is wondrous, pleasing to the eye, stress-relieving. Is this an aerial view of the mountain? How did you take this picture? The road is snake-like. Is there any reported vehicular accident ever recorded in this place? It’s the wonder of nature!

I live in the Philippines, but I have never been to places as far as the Luzon. I have gone to Pampanga, the lahar covered placed when Mount Pinatubo erupted several years ago. It was the 11th National Jamboree of the Boy Scouts of the Philippines (BSP).

November is auspicious in so many parts of the country: the rice harvest is already in, the weather starts to cool, and the festive glow which precedes Christmas has began to brighten the landscape.

Life is like a landscape. You live in the midst of it but can describe it only from the vantage point of distance.

Sheep farming is heavily subsidized in Great Britain. Without the subsidies, the green grazing in the valley of the River Exe would be gone. The handsome agricultural landscape of which the British are so proud, carefully husbanded since Boudicca’s day, would be replaced by natural growth. The most likely growth is real-estate developments.

One day, out of irritation, I said, you know all of those years with the Royal Shakespeare Company, all those years of playing kings and princes and speaking black verse, and bestriding the landscape of England was nothing but a preparation for sitting in the captain’s chair of the Enterprise.

Racism is a curse on earth we all must uproot it with joints hands all over the world otherwise new war will break out on earth of Racism and its results will be very bad all over the world. I think politicians and priest of all the countries priests racism underhand among which Juws are predominant.

Racism, xenophobia and intolerance are problems prevalent in
all societies. Each and every one of us plays a role in either contributing to or breaking down racial prejudice and intolerant attitudes.

As an individual in society and as a member of your community, you have likely encountered racists and racism. Whether you notice a friend posting a racist comment online or you experience a racist moment with a stranger, you may wonder how you can counteract racism and actively address racism. Though everyone may have different experiences of racism, depending on their own race and background, it is important that we all work together to put a stop to racism online and in daily life.

To get a better sense of how structural racism, institutional racism, and individual racism came to be, you should study up on the history of racism in your country. Doing this will give you a better understanding of why racism is a systematic and ongoing problem.

I’ve said it before; America is a racist nation. There has never been a real attempt to get rid of the hate. If you go to America, you have to be conscious of the colour of your skin at all times.

Although American TV tries to portray the ‘mixed’ group, that is not true. If you are white you are to stay over there, if you are black you are to stay here, and only associate with people who look like you.

You ‘cross the line’ people respond to you unpleasantly.
