Our Second Batch Of Red Wrigglers From The Municipal Agriculture

Photobucket


Woo-hoo! We are blessed!

Just this morning, brought about by some drive in me, I was anxious to get to the bottom of this so-called "irregular government practices" that we thought of giving it a go again and visit the local agriculture departments. I can't really say for certain about the issue as we only got second-hand information that agriculture LGUs have no red wrigglers or worms for composting.

So there, without further plans and just a spur-of-the-moment visit, hubby and I went back to all those LGUs and requested for what we need, even planning to negotiate on purchasing just half a kilo of the red wrigglers if we get disapproved.

First stop was the neighboring town's agriculture office. Sad, they closed by 2:00 PM because they simply had to leave early. "Your taxes are working for you" rang in my head.

So we went to our own local agriculture department next. It was quite a surprise really, the department head and all employees were in today on a Friday! Apparently it's their salary day, and good for us, they were so generous! The head of agriculture was kind to write us a note of approval so we can pick-up our "first" batch of red wrigglers (African Night crawlers). He approved our request for 30 pieces. And when we got to the Municipal Nursery we were given much more, around 50! Now that is surprising!

I am just as excited to try my hand in this vermiculture business by beginning small. I'm still considering it as an experiment if we can make them grow and multiply sooner. Once again, I will keep you greenie folks posted with my worm composting how to articles.

Sepia Saturday #1 - Pre-school Graduation Photo

Just came across this new meme I found, and I think it's very timely that I had a good laugh this week when our pre-school and elementary graduation photos from 1978 and 1984 were shared online in preparation for our alumni homecoming this December.

This photo was taken when I was 6 years old, March 1978.

Happy Father's Day To All Fathers All Over The World

June is the month we celebrate Father's Day. This year 2011, the day falls on June 19.

Father's Day marks fatherhood to honor and commemorate our fathers and forefathers. It is a great time to let your father know you haven't forgotten him and also show him how much you value and respect him.

I personally cannot relate that much, having lost my father at a very young age. I have not known a father's love and protection. Thankfully, though, I have had uncles on my mother's side show me somehow how a father supports, guides and cares for his children. Yet often I wondered what my father's love really is, if he had lived long enough.

Many years in Father's Day celebrations later, I realize that indeed God's love as our Almighty Father is more than the love our earthly father ever could give. It really is amazing to know that God fills the emptiness of having grown up with no father or even with a distant father.

To all fathers, here is our Almighty Father's example. Happy Father's Day to you all!

Meet Me On Monday



1. What is was the last piece of candy that you ate?

Photobucket

Safari Chocolate Bar is as good as the well-known chocolate candy bars but costs less.

2. Do you "read" in the bathroom?
Nope. Not my thing anymore.

3. I can't stand when someone _________?



Lies about a story. Especially if I know exactly what really happened because I was also
there, and the person lying maybe "forgot" that I know the truth and ignores me to just continue with his/her story.

I am always for the truth, no matter how ugly or unbecoming the truth is, I believe that someone should just tell the truth. It will make all things better in the very end.

Now you got in my thoughts there, Hannibal Lecter :)

4. Do you do daily, weekly or monthly grocery shopping?
Weekly,preferably. We used to grocery shop daily this last summer, but
now that school has officially begun and we are busy, weekly shopping is imperative.

Kung Fu Panda 2



The Dragon Warrior is back on screen!

Our sentimental attachment to Kung Fu Panda may come up again for this new movie Kung Fu Panda 2, for sure!

When Kung Fu Panda was first shown in 2008, we had the privilege of having a copy of its DVD a few months after. I didn't get to see it at once due to my self-confessed busy schedule. But hey, I got to listen to it every morning for 2 months when our youngest Cupcake would put the movie on the DVD player, as part of his morning ritual.

I tell you, all of us at home eventually got so excessively familiar with the lines in the movie that we could recite them ad verbatim. Each morning when my older boys went off to school, I would hear them go along:

"I just ate, so I'm still digesting, so my king fu may not be as good later on."

"One thousand guards and one prisoner... only that prisoner is Tai Lung"

"Don't worry, Master, I will never quit!"

"What are you going to do, sit on me?" "Don't tempt me."

"There is now a level zero."

"There is no charge for awesomeness... or attractiveness."

"I'm not the big fat panda, I'm THE big fat panda."


There are also couple of memorable lines from the movie that served as a reminder to me even during my low times. Here, let me share from memory:

"Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift. That is why it is called the present." - Oogway

and of course,

"The secret ingredient is.... NOTHING!" ("You")

Skadoosh!

Malunggay Farm Developments - Moringa Flower

Photobucket
Surprising developments on our malunggay farm indeed! Due to the recent dry spell, I was impressed when I passed by one morning to find out that the moringa trees blossomed and produced fruits! Yes, I was moved that much because these moringa plants mean a lot to us.

Thanks for your visit!

An update: we are now selling moringa oleifera seeds by the kilo. please visit my page here

Moringa flowers can be harvested after the 8th month of propagation. The tender flowers are better, of best choice. The flowers can be taken as tea. The flowers can also be fried and added to soup or scrambled eggs. Yes, we've tried a recipe and they have a taste similar to mushrooms with a hint of nutty flavor. From the moringa flower you can obtain both potassium and calcium.

Make Money Monday - Get paid for watching YouTube


Paid2YouTube.com
Get paid for watching YouTube!

It's a two-year running and legit earning online site I found recently thru the leading buy and sell site in the Philippines. I'm still new here as a member (about a week) and so far I earned 40 credits already. It isn't much at this time, but I hope it will be when I post this ad on all the profiles I have on the social networks.

Paid2Youtube is already up for more than a year and has yet to wait approval from PTC investigation sites if it delivers as it advertises. I've heard pretty good reviews from other users though, and two members whom I met online said they were already paid 14 dollars via Paypal. It's easier to navigate and use, what's more you will earn by simply viewing videos. (mostly adverts for the moment) It's the same as the PTC sites.


To earn, you will need:

Personal Computer
Regular internet use
Paypal Account (No Paypal yet? Sign up here. IT'S FREE)
Internet Connection

Meet Me On Monday


I've wanted to join another blog hop for Mondays and I'm thrilled to join Never Growing Old's Meet Me On Monday for this first time.

Questions and Answers:

1. What is your favorite kind of muffin? That would be any muffin with chocolate in it.

2. What was the first car you ever owned? I don't have a car for the moment :P

3. Which TV show were you sad to see end? Perfect Strangers with Larry Appleton and Balki Bartokomous. I miss the hilarious episodes that made me laugh 'til I had tears on my eyes!


Photobucket

4. What is your lucky number? I no longer believe in luck per se, but the number 4 has been following me since I knew. It's also my hubby's favorite number.

Photobucket


5. Pretzels or Potato Chips? If I had a choice, I'd say warm salted pretzels are what I'm craving for.
