A child is more than gold , so those who are married and having children , I believe are the happiest individuals in the world for they are able to have fruits of their love.However, there are some parents whose attention are not solely focused on their children. They just leave their kids to their nanny making the child less mature and mind less developed because the house helpers do not have the genuine feeling for the babies.In fact, there are news about abuses and mal treatment of the house helpers to the kids under their care. That is one reason why some children feel so aloft and insecure. Love at home is a very strong foundation the children will cherish for life.

That is so very true . Love really begins at home . If a child sees that her parents are loving to each other , soft spoken , God fearings and reapectful to each other, she would grow up to be one also, even if you didn’t tell her to be . And of course good mannets starts at home too. So at an early age the child shoud be taught how to give respect to elders specially with the use of the “po and opo” .

Very true

Family is where really love begins.It can make your day happy and bright.Specially when you see your kids laughing and giggling.It can even be your greatest stress reliever.A very good reason to rush home after a very busy office work.Family means everything,And a the most important reason to live.Stay happy always and love your family

@Dina, Thanks Din for your nice thoughts about this blog, If all people on earth know the meaning of love, they will surely feel happy and never to fight the laws of the land. This international terrorists for example they never had felt love in their lives, for they n=are not afraid to kill or behead their captives, They do not have conscience to stop them from a gruesome killing. Those who kill are not born criminals, but thy lack attention from their parents and entire family members. Their lives became so shaky that they want belongingness.So, they seek people to accept them and to have someone to be always sympathizing his feelings. Pity are those who do not know how love is felt in the heart.

@Newton Munene Kaibiria ,yes, thanks for dropping by to my post, very much like and valued. Our family is our inspiration to survive and they are also our happiness. But ad, there are broken families and children’s dream broken, How nice if both hubby and wifey have cold heads so that they can realize the value of living with children with them so when they grow up, they become truly human,

Self- discipline is synonymous to self-respect.yes there are times that we forget to respect ourselves. We just but in to a topic we are not part hahaha,Sometimes, we just join an eating spree despite not invitation, to mean a gate crusher.That is part of life we have to avoid to gain some respect from people around us.Just a simple smile and make believe to have smooth and peaceful relationship in an office and in a family. Self-discipline brings us to glory for it is this manner that we gain some praises from people we know.
There are also those who are happy go lucky persons and never care at all. they just go with the music and they are happy at that despite others despise them.

Thanks for reading.

A person who has discipline will earn respect easily from her peers or his friends.
Specially, when t comes to discipline in eating healthily , a lt fails and that included me my dear.
Though, i know that burger isn’t a healthy food , i always crave for it and sometimes gives in to it . he he he
Though , i compensate by eating fruits when i arrve the house .

@Dina, Yes, you are right my friend, if we want to be respected, let us also do actions for people to respect us.There is no problem eating much if you are not high blood hehehe because the more the blood will be triggered by other matters added to their location.That is also true that sometimes we lack discipline in eating despite stomach full we still desire to eat more and that is already beyond the control, thus body expands more hehe.I do not eat burgers. I read about them, bad for the body and creates bad cholesterol. It is advisable to cook our own food for we know well the contents of what we cook. But we lack time hehehe, so eating outside is unavoidable.

An officemate told me that a shampoo made of natural products don’t have much bubbles when you use it . have prven it to be true indeed when i bought a shampoo made of moringa. It doesn’t bubble much indeed.
And i never regretted having bought it because my hair doesn’t fall of much already.
Though , I first used it when I also first used the Keratin Hair reborn treatment.
So , i cannot realy say. if t is the moringa shampoo or the Keratin that helped my hair from not falling anymore .

REALLY MA’AM DINA. I HAVEN’T TRIED THAT MORINGA SHAMPOO YET. BUT ACCORDING TO STUDIES, NATURAL PRODUCTS, ALTHOUGH DO NOT HAVE BUBBLES, THEY DO NOT CAUSE MUCH SIDE EFFECTS THAN THOSE OF THE SYNTHETIC PRODUCTS.
I COULD SAY THAT YOUR SHAMPOO AND THE KERATIN WAS A GOOD COMBINATION FOR YOUR HAIR.

Any beauty product will necessarily use hydrogen peroxide, lactic acid, alcohol, salicylic Acid, Benzoic peroxide, and other chemicals which generally cause irritation, rashes and sometimes even more damaging effect to the skin. Though, the sunscreens are not included in the list of beauty products, most of them are generally manufactured along with the beauty products.
One should be more careful while using these chemical beauty products.
my personal experience is that when I used spf 30 as suggested by the salesman in the shop I developed rashes in my face. The face slowly became red and some rashes appeared. Again I contacted the Dermatologist and it took nearly a month to come out of the situation and to become normal.
There are many natural and herbal products available in the market. Better they are used if one wants to enrich one’s beauty.
Actually, the artificial beauty product gives good look, appearance, and a glow to the skin instantly which are generally preferred for attending small function and other family get-to-gether functions and are mostly used and necessary for the Actor/actresses and some other people holding some preferred portfolios and they are not at all meant for the Common public and especially for the teenage girls and boys.

Our skin can absorb up to 60% of the cosmetic products we apply on our skin. As a result, the extensive use of traditional cosmetics leads to a chemical buildup in our body. This can eventually cause numerous health problems. To avoid this, we need to move toward a safer source for our cosmetic needs—such as organic cosmetics.

One benefit of it is they reduce your daily burden of chemicals: Conventional beauty products, irrespective of their price, typically contain numerous toxic substances. Daily use of these products leads to a buildup of chemicals in your body. This chemical buildup can lead to varying health problems, as indicated by the following researches.

• According the research conducted by Dr. Peter Dingle, regular use of sunscreen lotions containing oxybenzone and benzophenones can lead increased itching, burning, allergies, and photo-contact dermatitis.
• Off late there have also been studies that link deodorants with breast cancer. These studies indicate that deodorants contain aluminum and parabens that tend to accumulate in the breast and eventually lead to breast cancer.

This is just the tip of the iceberg; cosmetic products have many harmful chemicals. By using organic healthier cosmetics you can be assured that you are not exposed to toxic and carcinogenic chemicals.

Other benefits of organic cosmetics may include:
1. They are safer: Since organic products are made of natural, organically grown ingredients they are unlikely to cause any negative side-effects. You will be able avoid the following drawbacks associated with conventional cosmetics.

• Excessive dryness and flaking of skin
• Aggravation of breathing problems, sinusitis, and asthma
• Allergic reactions such as rashes
• Damage the skin, hair, and eyes due to overexposure to harsh chemicals
• Increased risk of cancer, liver problems, and immune system damages

2. They are more effective: Organic food has a much higher level of nutrients including essential vitamins, minerals, and secondary metabolites such as phytonutrients, flavonoids, and polyphenols. A group of scientists at Newcastle University have found that organic fruits and vegetables have 12% more nutrients than conventional produce. Thus, organic natural cosmetics are often more effective because they are derived from nutrient-rich sources.

I think i haven’t tastedav avocado i eream yet. though l i love. avocado.
In my opinion, i would rathet bu a commercial avocado icecream than a homemade. I don’t like to tire myself maling it. h e he e

😀 YEAH MAKING ICE CREAM AT HOME COULD BE TIRING IF YOU’RE NOT THAT KIND OF PERSON WHO LOVES TO EXPERIMENT ON FOODS. WELL, FOR ME I’D RATHER BUY ONE TOO. BUT SOMETIMES, WHEN I AM WITH MY SISTER, WE LOVE TO DO SOME FOOD RECIPES AT HOME. IT IS OUR WAY OF BONDING TOGETHER. COOKING-WHILE-CHATTING.

So how come she is now into those smoking and drinking? I suppose she got herself group of friends who are into that?

That is what happens when we have friends who are into vices. We too will surely have those as our vices.

I am proud of myself that when I was in College, I also tried smoking. However, the taste and the bad breath it gives me, made me stop it.

During my early years at work, I also get to drink, but socially. Until now, I drink alcohol on social gatherings. But then, i choose what to drink.

One should just know how to control herself in these kinds of vices. Just knowing the bad effects it would give one’s body, should already make one stop doing these vices.

YEAH, WHEN SHE BEGIN TO WORK AFTER COLLEGE, SHE LEARNT HOW TO GO OUT AT NIGHT WITH HER COLLEAGUES AS SHE TOLD ME. THE FOLLOWING DAYS, WEEKS, AND MONTHS, SHE SAID SHE DIDN’T KNOW WHY SHE COULDN’T SAY NO TO HER WORK MATES.
THEN FINALLY, WE MET ONE TIME AND THAT IS WHAT I OBSERVED TO HER. SHE SMOKES AND SHE ALSO AN ALCOHOL DRINKER. BUT SHE SAID SHE WANT TO STOP IT BUT SHE COULDN’T.
HOPEFULLY, SHE FIND WAYS TO FORGET THOSE VICES.

If there is extra space at the back of your home, try to plant small trees. There are small trees but roots so numerous. You may goggle search those kind of trees so that you can utilize that space by planting few trees to escape from torrential flood. Flood water absorbs, and stocks in the roots delaying its flow to the flat or main land.Do not plant mango tree for it makes your home darker. There are trees that do not reach to a tallest height. You may go to your plant garden and inquire about the tree sapling that does not grow at a higher height.It could also be disgusting to keep sweeping the leaves, but leaves can serve as fertilizer to other plants that bear fruits.

If you sense the place where you live has no trees, you may suggest to your local official to have tree planting so that your place will not experience flash flood.It is a deadly flood. No one will be saved in carried away by torrential flood.There should be trees planted along the road and in any street in your locality, there should be trees. There is a place here far from the city, never had experienced flood because that locality is surround with vast forest, You cannot avoid to say wow.It is simply because trees give us oxygen; they provide clean and green ambiance, so nice, so cool and we cannot feel a hot day if live in forested place. How I like too to have our place full of trees.Thanks for reading.

That is why for those places with hills that are denuded because of illegal logging also have landslides when it rains non-stop.
Trees prevent landslides and floods.

@dina I totally agree but i see that you forgot to mention something about air quality. After all not only do trees stop floodings and lanslides but they also improve our air quality. By improving our air quality people are able to live longer and healthier. So yes SAVE LIVES by PLANTING TREES.

@Dina, Hi freind? How have you been? Don’t you have flood there in Legaspi city? Our skies here are getting darker and harder and soon rain surely falls again, so horrible feeling. I always look up the skies. About your comment in my blog, yes, true that trees prevent flash flood for the roots absorb water coming towards the sea passing the flat land or surface.There are forested areas that suffered landslide because of mining abuses. The soils are eroded thus making a way for a flash flood to get into and make a show down in the nearby flat p;laces, so horror!

@Itre , Hi? Thanks for your wonderful and truthful addendum to the post. Yes, trees are like blockbusters for they save lives. The process in itself called photosynthesis help people breath well, but despite this grace if people abuse through polluting, the air the deadly air could make us inhalers of bad air sick, different sickness may affect humans.Human beings must respect the laws of nature for everything humans do to nature go back to them.Thanks for sharing your precious thoughts.

Flood is the main topic anywhere in the world and it is a proof of man’s abuses to have what we have now the Climate change. To plant at least one tree a day saves lives.

I have a crush on this car. I hope someday I can buy this car even if it is too late for me to acquire this so nice car. My car is Toyota Corolla model 2013. I bought is in case, it is not second hand. That was cheaper during that year.But Toyota company does bot retain a model.They always manufacture latest design so customers will be attracted, There are so many cars this time causing traffic problem. It becomes congested now in our city and also in other cities in Ph. It should be better for our government to control the number of car purchasers. The roads here cannot anymore carry the numerous cars. There are so many roads created even in the river bridges were constructed almost 10 new bridges constructed crossing the river just to stop traffic problem in our place. In my case, I wake up 4 in the morning so I can escape heavy traffic and in the afternoon, I leave my work place right away. It is so sickening traffic that lasts almost 30 to 2 hours. In other countries where I went, traffic there were all organized Drivers are well- disciplines.That is what many drivers lack, discipline and what many Filipinos lack, discipline.

Those who can afford should start buying. Maybe i will oneday use horse or donkey. i will not worry about the beauty and the fuel to buy. These animals used to be means of transport many years ago so while others are running after new, slick metals and plastic wheels i will go back for the 4 legs which does not need artificial fuel to move.
This metals comes with beauty but within a year they become old vesion.

I do all those things , although with exercise it’s only on weekends. On weekdays, I can;t because I am already tired in the evening when I arrive from work.

As to eating healthy, I do that too, although sometimes I give in to my craving for a cheeseburger.

I also don’t get enough sleep because I really can’t make myself sleep early so Ican complete 7 hours of sleep a night, since I wake up at 5:00 on weekdays.

I guess, I have a mediocre healthy way of living.

Though, I am happy to say that i rarely get sick. In fact , most of my officemates have coughs and colds , luckily I don’t get inflicted. Maybe because I always eat an apple at night for dinner and take fish oil, 1000 mg of ascorbic acid , Vitamin E, B1612 , and fish oil.

I take all those because I want to grow old gracefully.

HI MA’AM DINA, I APPRECIATE YOU FOR MAINTAINING A GOOD AND HEALTHY DIET. IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO HAVE A DAILY EXERCISE SO LONG AS YOU HAVE A HEALTHY BODY. BUT YOU DO EXERCISE AT WEEKENDS, THAT’S A PLUS TOO FOR A FIT BODY. AND YES, WE AVOID GETTING SICK WHEN WE ARE HEALTHY OR OUR IMMUNE SYSTEM IS STRONG THAT COULD FIGHT THOSE DISEASES.

good points there, but i guess living healthy depend not only on what you eat it also the sleep hours differe from person to person, the human has to sleep at least eight hours a day, and that also differ from person to person, the thing is that human needs for food and sleep and work out not the same, depend on their work, as their work maybe a workout, it depends on their food types, some eat food that can give them all the vitamins they want yet it is not good enough or absorbed well if they drank tea after it, as we know theat tea do not allow the absorbtion of iron from the food, though tea it self is healthy for its antioxidants. so it depend on who you are, and the job you have and the age also affect what you need and what you have to do. Health and being healthy differ from country to country, some consider being slim is healthy some consider quite the opposite and find beind fatty person is healthy, and you can for sure not say if this or that right, so theere is no singel rule the health

Let us be aware of this kind of infectious disease, leptospirosis, so we could be able to know the preventive measures that we can do in case of occurrence.

“How do you see yourself 10 years from now? This has been one of the questions asked of me.”

This and other related questions always pops up in the minds of purpose-driven individuals. Its like a reminder,an inspiration for them to strive to the achieving of their goals.

Moreso, coming to the issues of life, It is common knowledge that life comes in phases, and when each passes will never return. Each phase comes with it’s own experiences; the sweet,sour,pain, joy and otherwise. It’s left for us to make the best of these phases as they show up, in order to feel fulfilled and accomplished when you look back into your life’s journey. Generally, life is never easy, especially if you want to make yours a meaningful one, but with the “God-first mentality, self confidence and resilience, lots of unbelievable achievements are sure..

These lyrical lines inspires me alot.

“Where there is desire
There is gonna be a flame.
Where there is a flame
Someone’s bound to get burned.
But just because it burns
Doesn’t mean you’re gonna die.
You’ve gotta get up and try”

Song:TRY by Pink.

@Anita. I agree that the question is a reminder for us to strive more. I appreciate how you interpret that matter. It make sense.

I cannot believe that my students could come with this result.At their young minds usually ages 17 and 18m they are already talented, that is why despite we cannot draw and paint m but we could acquire this through constant practice using our imagination.Imagination is very important in the acquisition of talents and skills.

Art is surely appreciated by all; non-artist and the artist themselves. Art can come in many ways, like painting, architecture, dancing, and others. As they said, it is an expression of feelings. That is why as you have said, your young students came up with a good output, which is in fact, is really true. I can see in those photos how artistic they are.

Youngsters nowadays is said to be discoverers, that is why their knowledge about things like arts are non-limited despite their young age.
As being observed, young people are more expressive when it comes to art than the old ones. I said it so because old folks commonly follows the early form of art while young ones follows what the trend of art is.

That is true, they can discover their potential through the help of their teacher. These students are also the students of my co-teacher in English 54 Arts m, Culture and Literature subject. Young people may only discover their hidden potential in a classroom where there is a chance for them to exhaust their hidden talent in painting. I cannot even believe they can have this kind of output. Thanks Nemzie for sharing your nice thoughts.Happy Easter God Is Risen.
