Mind you all: "If someone is rude or treats you poorly or unkindly today, don't take it seriously and personally. It says nothing about you, but a lot about them." Maintain your dignity. stay kind and plant seeds of change in them. 

Mind you all. It's okay to have an opinion. It's okay to disagree with someone's opinion. It's not okay to humiliate others because they don't think the same way as you do. Show some respect. Society needs more of that. Show empathy and kindness. Forget hate and enjoy our life’s journey. After all, we are all the same human. May we be the finest among the crops! Have a good Tuesday vibe to all.

As I look back and assess my life, it’s a clear picture and realization that we are more fortunate than these people. We have roofs in our houses, 3 meals that we eat in a day, and work to sustain our daily necessities and wants in life. We even forgot to thank the Almighty God for all His blessings. He sustains us with good health and long life, strength for each day to do our certain tasks, and above all, providing all the foods and good things in our life. May we learn to be grateful enough for what life has to offer and never complain about all that we have. Learn to be satisfied in life, appreciate and be grateful that you are still alive! Life is too short to waste on nonsense, live our life to the fullest. Count your blessings and not our troubles! stop being unhappy and uncontended. ctto: Eugene Julao (05/30/2022)

The Insulin plant, Step ladder, and Spiral flag are a few of the names that have been given to Costus Igneus Nak, also known by its botanical name as Chamaecostus cuspidatus. With a healthy stalk standing straight and strong, C. igneus has been given the names, Spiral flag, and Step ladder, due to the arrangement of its leaves as they stem from the main stalk in an upwards spiraling manner.  A plant native to South and Central America, Costus igneus Nak comes from the plant family Costaceae and is among the genus Costus. The leaves are rich in protein, iron, and several antioxidant components such as B-carotene and a-tocopherol. These properties, in combination with its “natural insulin” content (phyto-compounds that simulate the metabolic action of insulin when ingested), aid in C. igneus’ ability to lower blood sugar in individuals with diabetes. one can find vibrant orangish-red flowers that are themselves said to be sweet and nutritious. Though the primary interest surrounding this plant involves the treatment and management of those suffering from type 1 and type 2 diabetes, there have also been studies focused on the antibacterial, antifungal, and antioxidant properties of the insulin plant as well.

When we know something is not true, we get annoyed and get frustrated. When some obnoxious people says we are crazy or stupid, questioning our skills and abilities, don't be sad! stay prim and modest. That's a big joke and lie. When company or colleague is treating us unfairly or unkindly and showing us of no importance. Don't quit and get demotivated. Let your head be held up high! We are the most important person in the world because we are excellent, we are smart and we are lovely being. It's a fact and it's not a lie! Don’t let anyone despise you for we are created perfectly and wonderfully made. Let the truth prevail.

"All dreams are within our reach. All we have to do is keep moving towards them, chase them and make them." If in case you haven't reached your dream, don't lose hope because where there's hope, there's life. Stay strong!! be hopeful.

Not all carpenters have their own house. mostly they have broken furniture or broken houses. Others are just renting flats. Not all barbers have a good or pleasing haircut and the fact, and they can't trim their messy hair without other barbers' help. Not all beauticians are always beautiful, They hide their imperfect looks with thick make-up and cosmetics. Not all actors and actresses are good at acting. They may have pretty looks but no acting skills. Not all preachers are good preachers. Some speak motivationally and others are irrational. Not all clowns are funny and have a happy life. Not all people who have lovely faces have a sound mind and lovely behavior. Most of them are elusive and treacherous. None of us are perfect, we have flaws and shortcomings in life. We have a good side and an evil side. Some people may like us and others may hate us. Who cares?! It's their choice and none is your fault. We can voice out your feelings freely we are humans with imperfections!

The year 2021 and 2022 was the year I was tested more than ever. I lost my 2 brothers, I failed many times, I cried a lot, I laugh, I learned and I loved. But most of all, I'm still here; I did not break but also won every single battle. Thank you, Almighty Lord, for the strength you empowered me every day of my life. I will be forever grateful despite the pain and hurt. Notwithstanding joy and blessings, You never failed and you never let me down.

Some people are born with storms and thorns in their lives, but full of constellations and beautiful galaxies in their eyes. Other people are born with stars and moon on their feet, but their souls are lost at sea and blown away by the wind like feathers. Don't allow the thunders and lightning to fear and to strike you today but let the garden of flowers bloom in our hearts and minds. Kick your feet on your horse and run vast to the world of possibility. Be hopeful and keep looking on the brighter side! (05-14-2022) ctto: Eugene

After more than 5 years or more, Finally, a Java Plum (Duhat) was given by a friend. Thank you, Sis. Junie (My wifey's friend). I can taste this summer fruit again. (5-13-2022)

Be thankful for everything that happens in your life, whether good or bad, criticism or praise, it is all an experience. Embrace everything and be grateful even to those ungrateful to you because at the end of the day, there is nothing to lose in being appreciative.

"In the ESL world, we teachers are like coffee and cups are the students of different kinds of cups!!! (crystal cups, glass cups, ceramic cups, shining ones, some plain looking, some ordinary, some exquisite, and some expensive ones). Coffee is offered depends on student taste (Level of knowledge), You may be a little sweeter (for younger students), sometimes your taste bitter (for some rude students) and some like more creamy (advance learners) and for others are just the ordinary taste (normal level learners). We must know how to adjust the taste of coffee depending on the cups that were given. But always remember that coffee will remain coffee whatever adds on or is removed from it. If the cups are inexpensive and plain (rude), just served them with hot or warm love. If in some situation, the coffee spill on the table, wipe your mess and learn to be careful next time. Remember, there is no perfect coffee in the world..You need to adjust sometimes to make it tasteful and pleasantly taste.

Moral lesson: We are like Elementary students. We easily judge the people around us and waited to find mistakes. It’s okay to correct them but in a nice and gentle way! But sometimes we often make fun and laugh with them because we think that we are better and superior than those who are playing stupid.

Every created being has a natural defense mechanism by instinct. Even insects and animals has this so called defense mechanism. We often see this when we are in danger, threaten, agitated, when in trouble, and when in unpleasant situations or emotions or hitting our very own ego. When we are triggered by someone, our initial defense is to fight back, retaliate and "throw a bomb" on their faces to protect ourselves. This defense mechanism destroys the symbiosis of harmonious relationships. To stop this defense mechanism, we need to control our ego's nature. For example, Horse have reins and rope to control them when running, ships have steering wheels and rudders to control when it's sailing, the airplane controls by the pilot and ailerons when flying. We too have the power to control our ego by taming our tongue and emotions that can severely damage the good relationship. Know it well, when to use your defense mechanism!

Holier than thou...This is the most savage character of human nature. Sadly to say, there are many people pretending to be spotless and perfect in this world, but their nature shows their imperfection too! funny thou. They often see the speck on other person's fault and mistake but never seen their huge speck blocking on their own eyes! Don't pretend to be spotless and perfect if you're not! for there isn't an impeccable person who is born perfect and perfect in reality. All are born in imperfection! that is conspicuous to people. Mind you all, don't throw a stone if you knew that stone will bounce back to you!

In reality of life, people have good friends and others have enemies. It's your choice which "side of the coin" you'll put your bet on. "If you start a battle, be sure to carry lots of gun and back-up weapons!". Because, in battles, "there's no retreat, no surrender!"... it's either you die or your opponent. And mind you, always know your enemy's scheme and tactics in battle to defeat him/her. Don't be like a foolish soldier who goes on a battle but never carries a single weapon to defend himself/herself. By the way, to introduce myself briefly to all the people who don't know me well, "I can be your good friend or your worst enemy!" because, in a battle, I never say "quit or retreat". I'm ready to won or defeat!. "Hit me once, but I'll make sure to your face, I'll hit you twice". That's me and that's all I can say. ctto: Eugene
