My Facebook Note: AFFIRMATIONS TO 'NEVER'

-

NEVER ENVY YOUR NEIGHBOR . No matter how perfect he or she appears to you, you are just looking at what you think is lacking in you. Rather, be inspired to do your best to attain it!


NEVER SPEAK ILL OF ANOTHER OR ANYTHING . It will set your mood bad and your environment dark.



NEVER WORRY . Worrying will not stop unless and until what you worries happen, and you don't want that, anyway. So, sleep tight and eat well despite the problems and worry about it the next day.



NEVER FORGET . Never forget the kindness of a family, friend, or relative. Time flies but memories of good deeds should not.



NEVER EAT FOR THE SAKE OF EATING . Pay attention to what comes in to your body. Study and learn more about food and how they affect your health and your mood as well.



NEVER LIVE IN WHAT IFS . If you chose to go for something, it does not mean all you want is answered. Some are fulfilled, some are not. But rest assured, your choice will always work well if you embrace it whole-heartedly.



NEVER JUDGE . Race, gender, religion, belief, and social status. All have equal rights and all deserve respect despite the differences.



NEVER STOP LEARNING . Receiving your diploma does not mean you are exempt from learning. Learning more about life is a process of learning and relearning.



NEVER GIVE IN TO BOREDOM . From simple boredom comes the temptation of vices and excesses. Be one step ahead your self; never let one moment of boredom a reason for you to violate your person and principle as well as what's more important in life.



NEVER FORGET TO SHARE . Share knowledge, share thoughts, share kindness. You will be surprised how well your sharing is welcomed by another human being.



NEVER DOUBT GOD . With or without a capital letter, never forget god. Or whatever you name god. God is human's comfort. God is human's continuing belief to goodness. God is human's symbol of love. God is the positive thought that overpowers the negative in us humans.


NEVER SAY NEVER . Give up if you must but never give up because you doubt yourself. Learn to fight for your self and learning when to stop too is important. But never say never because you doubt yourself.


NEVER CRY FOR THINGS NOT UNDER YOUR CONTROL If someone is always mad, hypercritical, envious or don't like you, don't cry. Accept constructive criticisms and allow some self examination. If you think there is nothing wrong with you, then for sure, something is wrong with them.(June 2010)

Do you still remember how Sarali or Sirali taste?

-

This "Sarali" is a childhood fruit for everyone who grew up in the Visayan area of the Philippines. Also known as  Flacourtia jangomas or Indian Plum or coffee plum, Sarali is best enjoyed by pressing one fruit between one's palm, move it in circular motion until tender, and pop the soft flesh quickly in one's mouth save the seeds. Just like apple, this fruit oxidizes quickly and thus, gets dark brown easily. It can give one's teeth a nasty brown shade. Sour with a hint of sweet, this is a must-try fruit. I believe, the fruit has an economic value just like sarguellas and lanzones. *** *** *** ***  Related readings:  Possible Treatment of Diabetes http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2959214/ Anti bacterial property:  http://www.ijplsjournal.com/issues%20PDF%20files/july2011/1.pdf

Linabog nga Bisaya nga Manok

When I searched for Linabog in th web, I can see entries on Linabog but using a different souring agent and usually the fish called "pagi" is used. Also, they attribute Linabog to the Cebuanos and there is one video which explained that the word means "throw away" because the parts used in the dish are parts which are usually to be thrown away, like the bony "pagi." Meanwhile, there is also a "kinunot" way of cooking which means "hinimay" or flaked for the Luzon. The name was also coined for leftover parts of fish or chicken. In Hiligaynon, the word "labog" means forcefully thrown away.  This surprised me because when I was small, I heard from my father and his friends about this linabog and they used the leaves of labog plant. So I grew up having some idea of what linabog cooking means and definitely, the Cebuanos' definition of Linabog dish is far from my Ilonggo definition. And yes, Ilonggos ...

TIKUM KADLUM (The Enchanted Dog, The First of the Ten Epics of Panay Bukidnon)

At the house. One day, Bulawanon engaged the help of Tikum Kadlum, a hunting dog with the gift of sensing the spirits, in cooking rice for his husband Paiburong and his brother Dumaraog who will be going hunting. When the rice was cooked, the brothers ate fast. Then, while Bulawanon packed the betel nut for her husband, Paiburong and Dumaraog dressed themselves, with Dumaraog suggesting they match their sashes and belts, since he is his brother's loyal protector. To complete their hunting preparations, the two brought out their long-bladed sharp knives, shields, spears, and lances from their gold chest and wall hanger. When everything is set, Paiburong bade goodbye to his wife, Bulawanon, who reminded her husband to be careful as he might meet in the forest one named Makabagting, who is accompanied by a man-eating woman called Muwa. Makabagting is a nobleman and a warrior who is widely known as having tasted human flesh. Paiburong went out of his house, and he heard a sound. It...
