    I think this is the best thing to do because we cannot yet do it on our own. Editing may be important but I guess we need to wait a little for more until admin can decide to allow us to edit our own post.

    SuperD wrote a new post, Warning, Do Not Catch Tadpoles! 8 years ago

    Beware those who love eating exotic food that includes the adobo (cook in soy and vinegar) because this is now prohibited in our place. No these creatures are not considered endangered, its just a move to […]

    • Tadpols when I think of what we used to do when we were kids I just laugh. There was a small stream where the neighbourhood kids used to come together with containers then get into the stream and start catching the tadpols.usually it’s th3boys who used to go ahead and catch them while we watch from afar. So I remember telling them that they were not fish they were frogs but they wouldn’t listen, so we would play around them and watch them grow but at some point my big brother pours it out. It was adventourous to do such things but not anymore

    • But now, our kid’s play will be halted because of some ordinances and laws prohibiting people to catch them. For the good of human kind we need to follow the rules.

    • I have never heard this kind of ordinance. What I know is about the protection and preservation of endangered species in plants and animals. But tadpoles seem to be “weird” I should say. In any manner, it is a good move. Your government deserves to be lauded. In our country, there are various laws and ordinances protecting the environment including those on the air, on land and on the sea. Well, logically, these tadpoles probably are also included.

      Frogs are exotic foods. People cook them and eat. Frog delicacy is delicious. It tastes good and it is good for the body. By the way, these tadpoles have reminded me of my early days. We used to catch them from the canal where we always passed after our classes. They’re so many of them in the canal, swimming to and fro. We picked them up and placed them inside the small bottle. We enjoyed watching them inside the bottle. When we’re done playing with them, we threw them back to the canal.

      • I have heard in some towns having the same ordinance passing in their council. Maybe there is already a law protecting this tadpoles because of its importance in farming and the towns and cities are just adopting this into their town. But it is a laudable move because frogs now are on the verge of extinction because it is considered to be a good food.

    bestwriter wrote a new post, All Carbohydrates are not bad 8 years ago

    The complicated body that we have, demand a whole lot of care – good food, proper exercise, controlled eating, regular check ups with the doctor, healthy activity both for mind and body. The body demands an array […]

    • I have never thought of carbohydrates as a “bad food”. However, when I was younger and I wanted to drop a few pounds really fast, I would cut out the carbs for a couple of weeks. Weight dropped right off. That’s how it worked for me. Everybody is different! 🙂

      • Losing weight is different from carbohydrates affecting one’s health in a bad way,.

    • A well-written one. I agree with the views expressed therein. But, i request to check it up whether the soft drinks can be considered as containing good carbohydrates. I do not think so. They are very unworthy. They immediately tell upon your health condition. Most of them are made up of Chemicals and color preservatives. Further, fried potatoes are also not good for health.They obstruct the bowel movement if taken regularly.

      • “The list of refined processed carbohydrates would include, sweetened fruit juices, alcohol, soft drinks, white flour and therefore everything prepared from white flour such as cookies, cake and bread.”

        I have clearly stated what is bad in the above para

    • This is my point of view. I beg to disagree with your premise that all carbohydrates are not bad. It is just like saying that all medicines are not bad. Am I not correct? But in reality, they are not if they are taken in excess. Therefore it is actually misleading. This generalization would mislead the people to consider carbohydrates are “good” but in so doing they’re not.

      Complex carbohydrates, if taken in excess would lead to obesity and diabetes. Simple carbohydrates, in excess amount, would also lead to the degeneration of the human body.

      I don’t know if you’re in authority to say all these things. We should be cautious in dealing with these things.

      • One does not have to be in authority specially what is mentioned is backed by data as is done here.

    • Yes, all carbohydrates are not bad but too much are very bad health as medical reveals this facts. Carbohydrates play a crucial role in a healthy, balanced diet. For example, without carbohydrates, our body would lack a key fuel source.

      Similar to fats, the role and value of carbohydrates is often misunderstood, which can lead to a diet that restricts this important nutrient rather than including healthy food choices to provide carbohydrates in recommended amounts.

      Carbohydrates are the body’s primary source of energy, and provide about 4 calories per gram. This nutrient category includes sugars, starches, and fiber. The American Dietetic Association (ADA) recommends that for children 2–11 years of age, carbohydrates should make up 45–65% of total energy intake each day.

      Following these recommendations, approximately one half of total daily energy intake comes from carbohydrate, with the other half from protein and fat.

      Simple carbohydrates are those that contain only one sugar unit (monosaccharides) or two sugar units (disaccharides). Glucose and fructose are the two most common monosaccharides.

      Glucose is the primary form of sugar stored in the human body for energy, and fructose is the main sugar found in most fruits. The most common disaccharide is sucrose, which is table sugar.

    • Carbohydrates are so useful to us… It is readily available even in the least available meal.feeding on it olongside lipids can be quite a disaster given that both are major producers of energy..so eating carbohydrates can help you become active in work and in other places…but to maintain a healthy growth you must eata balanced meal

    SuperD wrote a new post, The Dying Of Tradition 8 years ago

    Filipino tradition about caring of the department relative is extra-ordinary. It’s not the last wish of the departed but the relatives and family giving all the best that they can for the last time to s […]

    • There are many tradition that filipinos must follow when one of their love ones passed away, like never ever leave a deceased unattended specially at night over their wake, praying for the repose of their soul, having bless the body by a priest, and offering mass for them.

      • And that makes our tradition unique no other race can have. Giving importance to our beloved one, giving the last sacrifice is always a treasure culture we can always practice.

    • I don’t know when it started or who started it, but there is one tradition that has developed in the United States that I really like and that I think shows honor to the departed and that is … instead of flowers for the grave, donating money to a charity or a non-profit foundation or any kind of good work. Usually it’s a contribution to an effort that the deceased was passionate about or maybe it’s continuing research on a sickness that was the cause of death of that person or something like that. The family would request that in lieu of flowers, make a donation to ________. It’s a lovely and practical tradition!

      • We have different of practicing this tradition, but we call it “saranay” of helping. The community that include friends and relatives will donate money to the family of the departed one and then it will be used for the funeral service. Always, we have a feeding for the people who attended the funeral procession and the money collected is what we used to buy pigs, rice, vegetables, water among others.

    • By the way it seems like the traditions that people used to have back in the days is slowly dying away. It’s high time that people stopped all this manner of traditions and just did things in the right way without having to do certain things. Like in our tradition it is said that when a father dies in a family the kids are supposed to shave their heads clean in respect of the dead we never knew what all the symbolized to date but it’s a good thing that most people are slowly walking away from this kinds of things that make no sense at all.

      • I believe some traditions need to be forgotten because some are practice by paganism but I believe some are good enough to brought to the next generations because its part of our humanity.

    • It is a fact that people are forgetting the old tradition. It is very pathetic when I was crossing from a road I saw funeral but very sad that there were a few persons with the funeral. Looking at this site my heart wept and really tears floated in my eyes thinking this that all old traditions are dying with the modernism

      Is it our new civilization that is making the new generation away from the old cherished traditions. I think old traditions are dying like the some old species as Diasporas and flying and Phoenix….

      All traditions will die withe passage of time but there are some traditions will never die on earth as
