Colorful Reflections

Lens-Craft Day No. #1

I love changing seasons and for me Fall is my favorite season of all. But Fall will soon be over and while I wait... I want to cherish these amazing colorful memories of "fall".

I just love Fall for it's color and it's amazing reflections on water. It makes life more mysterious and wonderful.

Like life... water continues to flow until it reaches its destination and be one with the ocean.



Like life... the river runs freely with gentle whispers that warm the heart and soul.







Like life... the ponds and lakes go with the stillness of the moment as the mist gently rises to reach the sun.

God Save the Dolphins

As usual, I went online this morning to check my e-mails. And I was surprised to find out that my brother Gary sent me an e-mail. He rarely sends me any because he is too busy at work. But then, I realized it was just one of those "forwarded" e-mails that I frequently received from people who have e-mail accounts.

Out of curiosity, I opened it and I was horrified to find out what it was all about. Upon realizing the gravity of the situation I opted to share the e-mail with my readers here for the purpose of awareness.

It was entitled... SHAME ON YOU DENMARK!

And the e-mail contains these following words and photos:

This is just the tip of the cruelty of humans. Massacres are also in Murambi and Sudan of humans.

Denmark is a big shame. The sea is stained in red and in the mean while it's not because of the climate effects of nature.

It's because of the cruelty that the human beings (civilized human) kill hundreds of the famous and intelligent Calderon dolphins.

This happens every year in Feroe island in Denmark. In this slaughter the main participants are young teens. WHY? To show that they are adults and mature.... BULLSH*T

In this big celebration, nothing is missing for the fun. Everyone is participating in one way or the other, killing or looking at the cruelty "supporting like a spectator"

Is it necessary to mention that the dolphin calderon, like all the other species of dolphins, is near extinction and they get near men to play and interact. In a way of PURE friendship.

They don't die instantly; they are cut 1, 2 or 3 times with thick hocks. And at that time the dolphins produce a grim extremely compatible with the cry of a new born child.

But they suffer and there's no compassion till this sweet beings slowly die in their own blood.

Its enough! We will send this until this email arrives in any association defending the animals, we won't only read. That would make us accomplices, viewers. Take care of the world, it is your home!

And as my personal contribution... I am posting hoping that it will create awareness among my readers. I am also hoping that you my readers will do the same.

Pomegranate Mania

Food Trip Day. Food No. #1

As I have mentioned in my earlier post, I now go for healthy options with regards to the food I eat now. I started eating more fruit servings than I used to. And one of the fruits that I like eating is pomegranate. I just hate preparing it.

So I googled about it and I came up with these simple and unmessy steps in preparing them.

1. Cut the fruit around the crown and the bottom part of it.

2. Score the fruit into quarters.

3. Put cold water in a bowl.

4. Open the fruit through the part where it was scored to reveal the red seeds.

5. Loosen up the seeds from the fruit's hard skin and pulp in the bowl filled with cold water.

6. The seeds will sink in the bottom of the bowl and the pulp will float, remove them.

7. Strain the water and remove some of the left over pulp.

8. Eat the seeds with its pits the way you want it and presto.

Now you can enjoy your pomegrante without the messy aftermath of preparing it.

Healthy Options

I recently did a little modification in my diet. By saying that, I meant... I am now eating healthier food. And with that, it means... more fresh fruit servings for me.

A friend of mine e-mailed me something about the proper way of eating fruits... here goes and I quote;

What is the correct way of eating fruits?

IT MEANS NOT EATING FRUITS AFTER YOUR MEALS! FRUITS SHOULD BE EATEN ON AN EMPTY STOMACH.

If you eat fruit like that, it will play a major role to detoxify your system, supplying you with a great deal of energy for weight loss and other life activities.

FRUIT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOOD. Let's say you eat two slices of bread and then a slice of fruit. The slice of fruit is ready to go straight through the stomach into the intestines, but it is prevented from doing so.

In the meantime the whole meal rots and ferments and turns to acid. The minute the fruit comes into contact with the food in the stomach and digestive juices, the entire mass of food begins to spoil.

So now, every time I do my groceries I make it a point that I do have my fruits. Breakfast for me will never be the same without my bowl of fruits.
