Have heard so much about this exotic fruit and still have yet to taste it. I have never seen it at the grocery store but it will probably be expensive because they would likely have to import it.

Interesting to learn about dragon fruit, thanks! I’ve never tried it, and I don’t know if it’s sold here. I’ll have to research that!

I had a cactus which looked exactly like the image you have uploaded, with flowers and all but I did not see any fruit.
I have learnt something new today.

Love doing it, the feeling of picking that fruit without even care pricking with its thorns.

Dragon fruit as far as I know is a very nutritious food.It is anti cancer fruit.It is also very expensive fruit,Though I haven’t tasted this fruit, somehow, I long to buy and taste this fruit. This is a rare fruit in our city. I only saw this kind one time.It was sold by a farm owner of dragon fruit.That time was the supposed best time for me to buy, but that was a Sunday and I was about to attend the mass. When i went out after the mass was over, gone was the big truck selling dragon fruits.

Really? I’ve never been heared about dragon fruits but i hope one day i can go to ilocos all the way from manila and see the hystorical place in Vigan. I think Vigan is one of Philippines’ most beautiful
cities, as it showcases the Spanish heritage of
the country.

This reminds of my first time eating this fruit. It was added on a fruit shake that I bought in our school. It kinda tasted like watermelon while the seeds were like nuts.

Really dragon fruit is one of the best and sweet fruit in Pataya and along with it is most useful for heath. I gives many benefits to human health. As…
Dragon Fruit Cholesterol
Keeping a heart healthy low cholesterol diet? Don’t worry about your cholesterol Dragon fruit cholesterol is not an issue. Dragon fruit is both low in cholesterol and has little to no unhealthy cholesterol producing fats (certain fats which are metabolized to cholesterol contribute to increased cholesterol levels more than even cholesterol itself in food sources of cholesterol).

Dragon Fruit Vitamin C
The amount of vitamin C in dragon fruit is high, and because the dragon fruit is a natural fruit providing you with a rich balance of nutrients coming along with the vitamin C, you absorb the Vitamin C in dragon fruit efficiently when you eat dragon fruit as part of your fruit healthy diet.

Dragon Fruit Antioxidants
Eat dragon fruit as a good natural source of anti-oxidants which help to prevent the dangers of free radicals which can cause cancer and other undesirable health detriments.The number, quantity, and variety of antioxidants in real foods like dragon fruit is completely unmatched by any food supplement or pills – even those claiming to have ‘antioxidant’ health benefits.

Nothing compares to the rich array of nutrients and antioxidants in a real natural food like the dragon fruit. Forget about junk foods and processed foods, as they are poison not foods! Even though a supplement claiming to offer a high amount of antioxidant benefits may sound good, the fact is that foods like dragon fruit have literally thousands of varieties of antioxidant substances and the supplement likely will contain only one (e.g. vitamin E supplements).

Taking a single megadose of a single antioxidant compound may in fact cause harm or be toxic! Stick with dragon fruit antioxidant sources and other fresh fruits and vegetables and avoid trying to take a shortcut through a pill.

Dragon fruit nutritional benefits also include the levels of dragon fruit antioxidants – the antioxidants in dragon fruit are numerous and varied.

That is true, many criminals do their dirty jobs during the height of heavy rain. so they won’t be notice.

Even if sunny or rainy theres a lot of criminals roaming out there like a lion looking for someone to devour. We should always check our house before going to sleep if all doors are tightly closed and we should be extra careful to trust a virtual stranger knocking at home. You could also installed a cctv camera to monitor the surrounding around your house if there is a intruder coming in. Always call the police for help.

Good thing we have a dog in our house. She’ll bark if someone comes in. Keeping a guard dog can go a long way, considering that they can help protect your house at times of need.

Rainy days ar3 very tricky for many people. In our country sometimes people dread sleeping at night for feet of being attacked when it is raining coz that’s when thugs take advantage of the situation. But nowadays it is not as rampant as it used to be before. We have all kinds of security measures that have been out in place to avoid thuggery, but all in all thugs will always be thugs if they want to steal that will steal it’s only God who watches over us.

You say right in rainy season most of the criminal roam in the street and roads to make robbery in the stores and shops because nobody come out their homes in the rainy season. But is it not the fault of rain but our society if full of criminals.

As we see in Saudi Arabia there is no robbery in rainy season or out of rainy season because in Saudi Arabia laws are most strict for any crime. If anyone is caught making theft or any other crime his anon hanged among the public. You can watch videos on U Tube how to cut off the head of the criminals among the mass.

That is why in European countries there is no hard punishment for the criminals who make theft. That is why criminal and culprits are at large in making thefts easily because they know they will be released after some years.

It is the fault of political parties that do not make strict laws for criminal and culprits. In Saudi Arabia if becomes any robbery and does not find the police the Saudi Government pays the damages anon to the victims.

Part of me gets happy when the weather reports that there is a hurricane. I’m happy for the rain or the water. But I get very happy if it by the time it reaches landfall it has died down enough not to do any real damage.

La Nina is a phenomenon which waters in the equatorial regions of the Pacific Ocean are unseasonably cool. The cooler waters affect the atmosphere above the ocean, causing significant changes in climate, though usually not as significant as the changes that occur during an El Niño. As a result of heavy rain clouds and trade winds it may effect into any form of calamities like heavy rain fall, flash flood, and landslide. We must be responsible to take care of mother nature and used our natural resource in a very convenient way without destroying its value.

Indeed there are heroes apart from war heroes who help make a country strong.

I think I have heard of this day. Is it also called the Day of Valor?

You have missed to mention the parents, the mothers who have raised these men and women. Because of them, the heroes of today are made. The values they have learned from their parents. The attitudes that they possess in treating their fellow beings. Their traits of being polite, courteous and religious are all influenced by their parents.

I may consider my father as the hero in our family. Because of him, we were all educated. We had our education and professional which we’re proud of having them. My father is the best example we have in our family. No wonder why that we consider him the hero of our own family.

My mother is another heroine. She is working side by side with my father in rearing up and making us a law-abiding citizen of our community. She has taught us to be reverent and prayerful in all our undertaking. She has led us to be obedient, to be responsible for our own good. She has served as our model of righteousness.

They are our heroes. If they are living today, we would be glad to give them the best honor which the sons and daughter could give to their parents.

I think rain is extremely important to everyone whether you ar3 a farmer or not. The only thing I can say is that rain in th3 city sometimes can be a nuisance to the residents there because it ripples up a lot of things. Like for example when you think about driving to work in the morning or evening you will always be caught up in the jam, meaning you have to wake up extremely early to get to work on time, then you have to sacrifice something’s because you will leave the office late and get home late. So this are some of the inconveniences that people have to go through in th3 city when it rains. In fact most people in my country would rather use public means to get to where they’re going as opposed to using their cars, because you and up using too much petrol on the roads stuck in jams. For th3 farmer in the village to him rain is a blessing just like you ha e said. That is what they want and need so that their crops do not for it either in the hot sun. And we all know that when there is no rain food is a little bit scarce and it becomes very expensive. So when it rains they know that at th3 and of the day they will at least sell their produce and be able to take care of their families and also get some income out of it. So either way rain helps people in different ways there are those who do taxi business that’s also an opportunity for them to make money during those days. People ask willing to pay some extra money just to be dropped at their door step without having to hassle for public means.

rain is most important for all of us because it is rain that irrigates our land where there is no well water or electric pump water. It is most important for farmers in the villages and mountains where there is no way to plant the field.

Rain is the means by which fresh water is created; when it evaporates, water leaves behind its salt. … Rain fills aquifers, and it keeps rivers and lakes filled.

Humans depend on fresh water for survival. While it is possible to remove salt from ocean water through a process called desalinization, it is expensive, and the cost of transporting water inland is prohibitively costly. Rain fills aquifers, and it keeps rivers and lakes filled. Forms of life that depend on rivers would not have evolved without rain.

Rain has a number of effects on the environment. Many canyons and other natural features were shaped by rainwater eroding surfaces. The Grand Canyon was created by a river, which was fueled by rainfall. Many species of life in the ocean depend on minerals that flow from the land to the sea. Without rainwater, they would not be able to survive.

We cannot neglect the importance of rain in human life on earth. We must be thankful to God for rain.

Not just beautiful but an interesting history as well.

sometimes we forget to stop from our busy lives and take a minute to admire the beauty of nature. it’s the simple things that bring us happiness

This is one of the beautiful scenic location in Ilocos Sur. The scene is wondrous, pleasing to the eye, stress-relieving. Is this an aerial view of the mountain? How did you take this picture? The road is snake-like. Is there any reported vehicular accident ever recorded in this place? It’s the wonder of nature!

I live in the Philippines, but I have never been to places as far as the Luzon. I have gone to Pampanga, the lahar covered placed when Mount Pinatubo erupted several years ago. It was the 11th National Jamboree of the Boy Scouts of the Philippines (BSP).

November is auspicious in so many parts of the country: the rice harvest is already in, the weather starts to cool, and the festive glow which precedes Christmas has began to brighten the landscape.

Life is like a landscape. You live in the midst of it but can describe it only from the vantage point of distance.

Sheep farming is heavily subsidized in Great Britain. Without the subsidies, the green grazing in the valley of the River Exe would be gone. The handsome agricultural landscape of which the British are so proud, carefully husbanded since Boudicca’s day, would be replaced by natural growth. The most likely growth is real-estate developments.

One day, out of irritation, I said, you know all of those years with the Royal Shakespeare Company, all those years of playing kings and princes and speaking black verse, and bestriding the landscape of England was nothing but a preparation for sitting in the captain’s chair of the Enterprise.

Animals should live in the place of their natural habitats not on the cage of a zoo because they will be a tendecy that they will become stressed.
When an animal is stressed they often can’t breed or reproduce, causing the animal to soon become rare. The animals are held in a cage, not being able to roam free, causing the animal to become depressed for life. Also scientists have proven that animals that are kept in cages become stressed, sick and don’t live as long. Furthermore, they should live a free life without anyone dominating them, Free-range animals will have had a happy life and have been able to peck at the grass, getting the nutrients they need to sustain themselves for their own survival in the animal kingdom.

Freedom for pets is must as for human being it a great pity we men are free and keep pets in cages is human beings’ mercilessness. Many people buy parrots, cockatoos and galahs because they ‘speak’, and are therefore entertaining. The birds then spend the rest of their lives in a cage, repeating meaningless phrases for the amusement of their ‘owners’.
These birds can live up to 100 years – that’s a long time to be locked up in small cage, often in solitude, with no room to carry out their natural behaviours, such as flying.

There is currently no adequate legislation addressing the needs of birds in captivity. Animal Liberation’s campaign, Freedom for Birds, aims to free the birds from their cages.

Flight is an innate biological function for birds, yet a standard cockatoo cage does not even allow a bird to fully stretch out their wings, let alone fly. Birds that normally fly vast distances in the wild are confined in small spaces and denied exercise.

Wild birds eat a variety of foods, including insects and plants. For example, the Sulphur-crested Cockatoo has been observed eating over 55 species of plants, including seeds, roots, fruits, berries and flowers. In captivity, birds are generally fed a commercial mix containing only a few different seeds.

Birds, who live up to 100 years, should not be forced to survive in a cramped cage for human pleasure. Animal Liberation is campaigning to outlaw the sale of wild birds from shops and markets.

Our whole garden is designed with birds in mind. They have a biridbath to frolic around. Trees to perch on, fruits to eat and the lush green environment is just what they need. Our dog Preit8i is never leashed. She as a well protected compound to roam around. She has her own soft bed to sleep on. She seeks our company most of the time.

There are nipa huts being sold in our community,the prize is P10,000. its so happen we are only seeing them in the backyard.
