When I'm out and need "fast food", a local karinderia is all I need. Jollibee is still an option, but only when the pamang-kids or someone else is craving it. Other than that I avoid fast food chains as much as possible. They’re not always the cheapest and most accessible option, especially when an even higher price is paid later in life.

Is Ampalaya in your "FARMacy?" Ampalaya is a common ingredient for dishes such as ensalada, pinakbet, monggo, dinengdeng, paksiw na isda, and more!

It is also one of ten medicinal plants approved by the DOH. Ampalaya has long been used to treat different ailments, including diabetes and blood sugar level control.

More than 4 million Filipino adults have diabetes (IDF 2021), and it is the 4th leading cause of death in the country (PSA 2023). To help, maintain or transition to a more active livestyle and eat lots of vegetables like ampalaya. Tending a simple garden "FARMacy" is a great way to do both, or “feed two birds with one seed!” Printable: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1591258560/ampalaya-or-bittermelon-with-baybayin

ゴーヤを育てている方はもう実が成るころでは？ 我が家も、ここ2年ほどはお休みしていますが、それ以前は毎年ゴーヤときゅうりを育ててました。やはりあまり連作はよくないようで、年々収穫も減ってきたのですが、4〜5年前は豊作で、随分たくさん知り合いにお裾分けしたものです。 写真は4年前の “白大長レイシ”、5年前の “あばしゴーヤ” など。

I almost pulled this out a while ago while I was weeding, but thought it was kinda cute so I left it. Then later I noticed the spiky stem and thought it might be a stray pumpkin seed or something, but now that I think about it, it's in the area I tried to plant bittermelon/ampalaya and it might actually be one of the broken seeds that survived?? The seedcorn maggots have attacked any hard seed I attempted to plant, so I ended up digging out the area I wanted them to grow and putting different things there. I just looked up pictures of leaves online and it looks pretty similar to some of them.... Fingers crossed it actually is ampalaya!! 🤞🤞🤞🤞 It's in such a weird place though.... 🌱🌱🌱🌱 #plant #plants #gardening #mysteryplant #bittermelon #ampalaya #sprout https://www.instagram.com/p/CBrRVOwgzGp/?igshid=1q59fqd71sasl

Sa Valentine's Day, bibili ako ng chocolates tapos kakainin ko.

Syempre pera ko yung pinambili nun eh 😋🍫

Clueless Time

Third Sunday of August, year 2012.

A great decision I need to make. That feeling of giving up someone that you love just because you feel and you believe that there are still blank spaces to be filled in you for your maturity and for the relationship work and last longer. Nakakalungkot. Ang sakit. Parang ang unfair ko. I’m so down and clueless that time of what am I going to do. Nasaktan ko siya nang sobra nang di ko sinasadya…

Unang pait na naranasan ko? Yun AMPALAYAin siya sa buhay ko.

😭😭😭
