    That is seen by everyone. You can fill in the data only if you have 10 dollars or more.  You can redeem any time but you will receive payment on the 10th or thereafter of the following month.

    The 5 star experience in South Africa  is within reach of anyone who spends a little time drawing up an itinerary that includes cities that have unique features – cities such as Cape Town, Hermanus, Dur […]

    • I have heard a lot about South Africa and you post further increased my interest.It is for sure my next travel destination.

    • Just keep dreaming and one day it will be a reality

    • Africa is not in my bucket list because I am afraid of those wild animals they show in those discovery channels.

      Certainly, I would like to be near a place where there are wild animals specially during evenings.

      Though, I would also like to see those other animals that are not in any of the zoos here in the Philippines.

      I have seen a show where they ride a closed van and a tiger went into the van’s roof. Oh, that surely will give me a real scare. I am a very nervous person that’s why this kind of adventure is not for me.

      I would just be contented in seeing these animals at the internet. 🙂

      • You do not have to opt for those safari rides at all. Not all have a fascination for wildlife and you could be one of them.

    There are companies who are specialized in doing everything that is centred round full grown trees. . With a service like that  trees  receive topnotch care be it in a private garden, a public place, a ho […]

    • I think in the countries like India, managing the trees is an Art, a social activity, a welfare activity. Every care needs to be taken for the maintenance of tree. The technology mentioned in the blog is available not in all countries. Only a few countries can afford to adopt this technology.

    • Many trees have been killed and uprooted here to give way to massive housing and commercialization of agricultural land. It’s sad to see them go little by little. There are local mandates but overall it does nothing to conserve much of what we used to have.

    • When a strong typhoon hit our province, the big and old mango tree beside the garage turned into a snack house, was uprooted by the strong wind. Good thing, it didn’t hit any part of our house since it is far from it. Though it damaged the roof of the eatery and my sister had it repaired.

      Going back to the old mango tree, my father hired two men to saw the big trunk of the old mango and had them made into just round stubs of trunk and now a nice ornament by the lawn.

      Then they carefully cut the rest and had it as woods for cooking at our dirty kitchen.

      Big trees need the expertise of persons who are into cutting trees, lest they will just be cut into woods to be used for cooking and it will be a waste of the beautiful craft that can be made from it.

    • Perfect timing again! Got my first confirmed payment so I can tell others LB pays and now … murmuring. Guess I’ll just have to “wait and see”.

    • I like it that way because duplicate posts can endanger the site and even have their Adsense Account deleted.

    • I absolutely agree. We should be vigilant for those who have plagiarized posts and report them so this site will be rid of spammers and plagiarizers.

      This is what happened also to Bubblews. Because of the spammers, ultimately it closed down. Some can really be cheaters and greedy. They just want the money but won’t wreck their brain a bit to make their own posts.

      • The site and the community needs to work together. The community should contribute positively which will benefit both the site and community. You are right. Bubblews went downhill because of spammers.

    • I receive Notifications via eMail of all new posts and of responses to group or forum discussions. So far whenever I’ve noticed “questionable content” by the time I get to it, it’s already been deleted. So somebody is staying on top of things!

      • I noticed day I logged on, anxious to write a particular article. As I was waiting for the ‘post now’ I noticed something written in not English. I thought, let me get done with this item, and after I publish it…(I’m one of those people who gets a burst of creativity and have to run with it) I’ll contact support.

        I didn’t have to.
        It was gone.

      • Happy that there is brisk activity to keep the site clean which is necessary for any site to survive.

    bestwriter wrote a new post, Happy life of a loner who knows the art of living 7 years, 9 months ago

    There is a notion that if someone lives alone that person is not happy and this is based on assumptions. ASSUMPTIONS as you know is making an ASS of U and ME. Having said that happiness is relative. Anyone can be […]

    • My partner in New Zealand is a happy loner. He prefers to be alone with his pet cat now.He has a son and is separated from his dad.But what I noticed that there is always association of word blue in his emails, Skype, Facebook, plus, his clothes ,brief, Polo-shirt, t-shirt, pajamas, pants, jogging pants, all in blue. I wonder why he likes but. I never dare to ask him why , but all I know is , he is happy to be alone.In fact, he changed his mind from being marriageable to non-marriageable. That made me sick when he told me that he changed his mind to remain a non-marrying type.I think those who like to live alone pretend to be happy when actually not happy. Man is a social being and he needs someone to talk to. Having gadgets and other things never equal the happiness felt when there is human to be along with, to be happy with and to share some thoughts, problems and heartaches.

      All I can say is, I can never live alone. I will be lonely of alone living in a house. I need someone to be with. It is not enough to just watch TV and do on line activities, so weird, but I cannot blame those whose preference is to live alone. They are loners and I believe they are cowards to face challenges of life just like my foreigner partner.

      • If an individual chooses to be alone even though they may have opportunities to have people in their life then surely they are a happy lo9t. To each their own. We cannot judge anyone and call them cowards.

    • Living alone is an art This is the real meaning of life. Living alone is a challenge. One who overcomes it can take up any kind of challenge and achieve it with a great ease and comfort
      Yes, I agree with you that there are many who are living alone and are happy. Living alone is not a sin. If we say that man is a social animal and he needs some company in life it does not mean that he should be in the company of somebody who will be hammering around him and picks up quarrel with him It is better not to have such company
      In general, most of the people will have a company But, if by chance if one had to live alone he should equip himself to face the situation There are many things available nowadays. We can make a life quite meaningful living alone
      One can do yoga, one can visit ground and watch the games, one can spend time watching T.V. Meditation is another way of spending time which gives good opportunity to realize the things in life Attending foreign languages class is another way of spending time nicely There we will have different types of people we can interact with. Spending time with like-minded people on Fb and other social media sites is also a good way of spending time lonely. There are many ways. One need not worry if one has to live alone

      • Not many are blessed with company that is compatible or shares interests. In today’s world as you have pointed out there is so much one can keep happily occupied with .

    • Oohh The joy of christmas, who doesn’t like the sound of carols. If anything carols are what get me into the Christmas mood when I hear a song in radio that imemediately stirs me up to start looking for my old cassettes that played Christmas carols because those songs from way back are the original thing so it brings out Christmas in a more natural way than what we hear nowadays. Its true that nowadays Christmas stats early some people even start it as early as the last week of November in preparation for the festive season. The only bad thing about this early celebration is true fact that when the actual day comes people are bored already so the day usually just comes and passed by nothing much is done.

    • What you have said here is universal. That change of scene is felt everywhere. But I keep to the old traditions and quite enjoy being that way.
