We have 3 local dogs at my in-laws’ house and 2 shih-tzus and a pug.

They are actually my gay brother-in-law’s pet, but he barely take care of them at all. Though twice a month he would pay a niece to bath them. He even lets my mother-in-law just feed them with left-overs.

I am not a pet lover, but I like seeing them meet me at the gate whenever I arrive home. And everytime they do that, I feel that my tiredness from having worked the whole day will be gone once, they do that to me.

But pets are meant to be well taken cared of and I always remind my brother-in-law about it. I hope he just would give them to his friends who can take care of them well, because us at home also have no time nor interest to take care of them.

Thanks Dina, I know all of you are so busy with your day jobs so you do not have much time to take care of pets. But I appreciate what you said that they are stress-relievers.

This is a nice piece on life. One thing is that life has to be lived for a purpose. No one was born without a purpose on earth. The issue is if the tinest ant have a purpose on earth hence its exsitance on earth then we must know we also have. Do you know that the ant as tiny as also fear death, respect authority, knows the weather, feels danger and understand unity? Take time to study them.

Very well said, my friend.

Did you know too that gumamemla or hibiscus is also now being added to a veggie salad? Actually @thelme at the other site posted about her salad with a hibiscus flower as one of its ingredients. I cannot imagine the taste, though I also believe that it can be delicious in addition to the other ingredients she mentioned.

And the other Saturday, I saw in Salamat Dok a nutritionist who taught how to make a salad with hibiscus and yes rose petals (i forgot what’s the edicble one). Sooner or later, this kind of salad will already be done by chefs on restaurants. I can’t wait to taste it actually.

Going back to its comparison in making our life be at the fullest, all of us should we want can really have a life as beautiful as hibiscus. If one can only have simple needs and lives simply, she can already live at the fullest. You see, disappointments are what makes our lives sad. So when we don’t have a high expectations in life or just live simply, we can already be happy in simple things, thus our lives will always be beautiful.
