    If you use any text editor that can count the amount of words you write, that would be a good option. Because often we write things and due to space and the dashes it may not count the words properly. So using Word, wordpad and other editors where you can get the wordcount can be good. You have to find out which are some of the other option for…[Read more]

    I can totally relate with you. It can be fun to read things some of the times. It gets you interested. And then suddenly it just ends. I think I have read many mystery books which ended this way. Though the best part for those stories is such that those books are meant to end that way. I have spent a lot of time reading such books which ended in…[Read more]

    Many of us have some frustrations in life. It could be work-related, about a career, family, and even little things or knowledge you had wanted you had.

    • I share your frustration in learning how to drive.

      I actually was already learning how to drive through my husband. However, once with my hubby on the other side of the front seat and me on the driver’s seat, I tried to drive. It was at first slow and smooth until I saw a big truck coming. I got so nervous imagining that i might hit my side when we are already near with each other.

      I drive the car on the side and stopped and told my husband, I can’t drive.

      From then on, I never tried again. Now, whenever I see my batchmate driving her car from our practice, I would feel a little envious that she could drive.

      Though, I don’t let her big 4 by 4 car go inside the small rough road going to our neighborhood because I fear that it might not fit and scratch on the small road with both sides of concrete fence. ha ha ha

      She too is nervous of trying to let her car go in. So, I would be dropped by the main road and would walk a small distance to our house. ha ha ha

    If I am to choose a tree we can call amazing, it will be the coconut tree which is indigenous here in the Philippines as well as other Asian Countries and those in the Pacific.

    That’s because coconuts thrive i […]

    • I love coconut food delicacies like the ones you posted here. It is indeed a tree of life with so many uses from its roots to leaves.

      • Me too. I love all the foods from the coconut as well as the young coconut.

        Especially buko salad, wow, it’s delicious. Though it could be costly to make one.

        The lumpiang sariwa is also a favorite. Though, I don’t make it but just always buy from an eatery that really makes a very delicious one, even without the dip.

        Do you like bukayo too. Here, you can buy a pack for just 20 pesos. I would buy one every now and then and keep it in the drawer of my office table. I eat it for dessert after my brunch.

    • I never knew that part “ubod” could be eaten ..i thought you posted a photo of a bamboo shoots but when I googled it it was really ubod..

      buko indeed is very useful and deserves to be called “the tree of life” .. we have lots of coconut trees around and just last night I made a buko ice cream.

      • @kat2x ,

        I suppose you are a Filipino too. So, you don’t know what ubod is.

        Actually, it can be eaten raw. It’s sweet and delicious as it is. But when made into a veggie viand with coconut milk, some slices of pork, chopped finger chili and some pepper, a little salt , garlic and onion , it is so delicious!

        Also you should have a taste of the fresh lumpia which is sauteed ubod, with some chopped baguio beans, julienned carrots, chopped roasted peanuts wrapped in a wrapper made of egg. It’s so delicious too. Especially with a dip of a bit sweet with chopped roasted peanuts, it’s heavenly.

        Buko ice cream? I have tasted an ice cream with buko bits and it indeed delicious too.

        SO i bet your buko ice cream is delicious. 🙂

    • I think a coconut tree was probably in the Garden of Eden. Eden was a paradise. A coconut is a fruit of paradise. Seems a logical thought. 🙂 I do love coconut!

      • Hmm, really you think of that as in the Garden of Eden. I don’t though, because the setting there i think is not of a tropical country. 🙂

        So, have you seen a coconut tree? Where did you see it? Have you already tasted a buko(young coconut) salad?

        What are the other foods from the coconut that you have eaten?

        It’s juice is so delicious too. I suppose you have already drank one. 🙂

    Thanks for the info!

    I love asparagus! In our country, the Philippines, asparagus is a bit pricey, so you have to think many times if you are buying or not.

    But with this info, why would I scrimp on myself and my family if it would mean a healthier me and my family.

    • When I registered at BlogJob at the invitation of a friend online, it didn’t register me. Instead it gave me a notification that it cannot accept new members anymore. After about a month, I was told that it quit paying.

      But like you said, you have a blog there still. And i Suppose it still earns from exposure from viewers but not from BlogJob anymore.

      Someone said that it will be back soon into an earning site. I don’t think I am interested anymore though.

      • I don’t think the BlogJob that used to exist will ever come back. I’m not sure what the owners plan but I do hope they give us notice and not shut down without a warning.

    • I searched for that site when many online writers were talking about it, but I did not register. Please update us when it becomes lively again.

    Very inspiring story and nice quotations.

    Lucky is a wife who has a husband that could love and admire her until death. To love her despite the imperfections discovered or developed during the marriage.

    This is the promise that every husband and wife
    proclaimed to each other in matrimony.

    acelawrites photo of a beach

    This morning after I posted a blog and read and commented on some blogs here, I dressed to come out and walk, my usual morning daily walk.

    But as I go out, I noticed the dark clouds […]

    • Yes, I even posted that it’s already summer already, since the past 5 days before today, it was so sunny always. But last night too it rained a bit. Then this morning it was a bit gloomy and it drizzled. But as of now, I can see the sun shining again.

      Well, I like it if summer is like this- a rain once in a while. At least, it won’t dry the fields and the plants and will not be so hot.

      But as to exercising, I just exercise at home, in our bedroom actually, in the space like a small sala , while my hubby sleeps. No need to go out. I just dance like crazy so all my body will be shaken. I do dancing, some dumb bells exercise and the tummy trimmer. At least, it helps me to lose some unwanted fats, even for a bit. ha ha ha

      • That’s the positive side of it. The weather became cooler, until now, the sun is not shining so hot unlike in the past days.

        It is good you religiously exercise even inside your bedroom. That’s great!

    • This day it rains so hard here and thankful for my decision to time out under time because I see dark clouds . I was so afraid . I remember the last months flood in our university when 5,000 were stranded, water height was so high. When i arrived home the rain dropped so hard. I am afraid I will wake up too early tomorrow to avoid walking again in muddy road where the bridge is still on renovation, We feel so sad whenever it rains here,yes it is summer but ket us be thankful that there is rain sometimes to let plants grow and survive.

      I hope you can have your usual activity tomorrow.

      • So it is also raining in your place? Yes, it could be a blessing in disguise because plants and trees will become green, so with the farmers’ crops. They can have water even it is already summer.

        Thanks, I guess it will not rain tomorrow morning.
