The thing that gets me with tea is that when I was growing up there was only Lipton Tea. Now I’m a adult and come to find out almost anything can be made into a tea! That’s so wonderful! Can’t do that with coffee! 🙂

Yes. I agree with you. But, I have not heard of making tea using Lavender. Lavander is useful for taking bath in Summer season. It actually calms down the anxiety and stress and gives a pleasant feeling. The paste of Lavender is applied on the body as it absorbs body heat.

So nice to know about so many different types of teas. I am not a big fan of tea though but this sounds delicious. I also doubt if we will be able to find all those ingredients to make it at home. Researches are always interesting and that too researches on food is a very job. Taste experiments with healthy receipts make it more enjoyable. I too will try to make something like this. Anyways, thanks for this.

Does the raspberry tea actually taste like raspberry, the dried fruit part? I don’t usually like tea but would be willing to try it if it tastes like raspberries!

Its interesting that some of the plants that we consider to be weeds are beneficial to our bodies and are food to other communities. Thats just how different we are.
Like when i see the lavander plant to me it was just a flower, it really didn’t mean anything to me. But now i know just how beneficial it can be. I just love this reading and finding out so much stuff that is beneficial. It makes life worth living for sure.

I like oregano oil to stop a cold. A few drops under the tongue works wonders. It does however taste vile. I wonder how the tea tastes. May try it for a bit of a change up.

I’m convinced that herbs and spices were always in God’s medicine chest and green leafy veggies are a means of feeding the masses.

Very nice tips and are actually all true.

Indeed we can practice speaking English by always speaking English. In high school , i was really practiced on how to speak English because we were required to.

We were even made to be on declamation and on stage.

Well, writing can also help us improve our language. We just have to listen to how it is being spoken so as to get familiarized with it.

Practice makes perfect as the saying goes and that is so true. The more you practice , the more that you will be get used in speaking English.

Since, English is the most internationally used language or should I say it is a universal language, people are eagerly learning how to use it.

AT least, when they know how to speak English fluently, it would impress the interviewers for jobs and would hire you for the job.

Nowadays, even the Filipino children are speaking in English already. That’s because in posh schools, English is already being taught amd spoken.

What I also noticed is that speaking English has now become a determinant of one’s status in life. If everyone at home is English speaking, that means the family is of a high social standing.

Do you agree on this observation of mine?

English is the second language of our country. Even those who did not complete their education can communicate even in broken English.

Our education system did this because they saw the advantage of having English as our second language.

The only disadvantage I can see in this is that our foreign visitors does not bother to learn our own language because we can converse with them fluently.

It really is to an individual’s advantage if they can fluently express themselves in English.

Dina, you are right that it is a status symbol if you are an English speaking person. As they say, you are ‘sosyal’.

Me, I have difficulty in talking or speaking in straight English. Sometimes my tenses are wrong.

English is a universal language and is spoken by many people all over the world. It helps travellers to manage their needs when they talk in English. Further call centres use English.

I remember when I started to learn English in primary school, I hated the language. But now it is my preferred language over my French-Canadian provenance. But I also wish I could learn other languages like Spanish, German etc.

English is recognized globally as common language nowadays. It is an interesting article to me as non Filipino to know that studying English in the Philippines is so serious and advanced process.

Truly, english is a language of business wether you will used it for applying a job, on business meeting, or even on speech english is pre requisite to pass the test. If you know how to speak english fluently you can used this as your own advantage with others. Lets face it, most companies in entry level position are looking for a competitive employee whom they see that will have a potencial to be somebody else in the near future. Probably, what they are seeking is someone who is tough, full of aspiration and ambition, responsible, with a strong communication skills. Basically, business is all about communication. Talking spontaneously without delay and the ability to express themselves in an instant who has the power to convince other either it was an oral business proposal or written. Speaking english is a must if you want to be successful in your chosen field and look for greener pasture. 😛

Learning english is as easy as 1 to 3 just read books, magazine, watching english movies as one of the way to widen your vocabulary but what important is your diction how will you going to pronounce the words in english in a proper way that everyone will understand the words you are transmitting with them. You could also try to talk with others not only with your self in order for you to master the art of communication in that matter you will know if you can effectively communicate with others and express yourself easily if you failed and find its hard for you to speak in that languange don’t lose hope but always try and try until you succeed. Remember you could never gain the glory of success if you don’t even undergo the pain of failure. In your spare time, why not do a formal theme just to practice your vocabulary like writing a topic that best suited your personality or anything that you’re interested in. Let your inner self unleash the power within you to be able to express your thoughts, your desire, and your wants, that will put your heart into something that you could never imagine that you do to express yourself freely with your own touch of hand.

WOW! You said it all! Basically, we should be really aware, attentive, and keen observer to whom were going to met because its the first time you would laid eyes with that person to know the other side of him, which both interest you and to determine if you have something in common. I think be ourself and be real pretending not to be someone else just to get attention. Its more better in the first met that you know something about each other enjoying each other company with some chit chat to spice things a bit. And who knows? There would another date or so. It is really important thay you are comfortable with each to says something whats on your mind and you can talk anything everything under the sun that would be a superb dating experience ever to know that he or she is interested about the kind of person you are and how you are at ease with your date as if something connected between the two you. THATS SPARK! ;-P

I like this due to how beauty is powerful tool

You are good! So very expressive.

At least you have an outlet for feelings you cannot say out loud for they might judge us the wrong way.

I am happy, at least you know how it is to love someone. Present or past, it doesn’t matter, you know what love is.

Why don’t you compose more poems and have it printed like a book. There is this online coffee table book printer, but not sure about the site.

I used to love peom then i hate it when it become everywhere only about politics then again i like it about life, but no time to read any book now, maybe later, but not powem as poetry in old days are much pure and prettythan todays poem and poem writers, as i like to call them, thank

That intro is very educational. All this time I thought everything was homeopathy.

I had tried acupuncture some years ago. But it should be done by an expert because it is too dangerous if there’s error. It can cause paralysis on the patient.

I don’t know there’s still different branches of alternative medicine.
