Para sa lahat, isang malusog, mapayapa at masaganang bagong taon!
Kailangan maka-isip ng mas mapayapa at makabuluhang paraan ng pagsalubong sa bagong taon. Makabitaw kaya ang Pinoy sa mapanirang ugali ng pagpapaputok tuwing bagong taon?
Siguro naman ay oo ang sagot dito.

Democracy and Dynasties
Building democracy is a never ending people's enterprise. As a constant work in progress, democracy is imperfect. It has flaws and vulnerabilities.
True champions of democracy work to make it better and make it as close to perfect as possible. Aspiring despots and political opportunists however take advantage of democracy's weaknesses to worm their way to or deepen their hold on power. Thus by looking at the way politicians deal with the shortcomings of democracy, we can see their true color.
One area where democracy has to be strengthened is in making it immune to political dynasties. Dynasties defeat the spirit of democracy and eventually threatens its very life that our constitution has a provision banning them. Yet despite this ban, many politicians are shamelessly set on dynasty building. These people have an undemocratic agenda and can not be trusted.

Tagaytay Flora
I was walking somewhere along the main highway in Tagaytay City when I noticed this plant with an interesting fruit of bright red berries. I don't think they are edible but they certainly look cheery and pretty.
This is the reason I like to get away from the madding crowd once in a while. It gives me time to stop and "observe" the flowers so to speak. I would have loved to smell them but unfortunately, they have no scent
Other interesting plants I noticed:
At first I thought that this plant has white flowers but when I looked closer, I realized that they were just leaves.
These other flowers just caught my attention for their unusual shape and attention getting colors.

Fidelisms
It is not in being selfish, greedy and miserly but in being honest, fair, hard working and goal oriented that one becomes wealthy .
To be trusted and respected by other people is a form of wealth.
In the end, the only wealth that matters is good health and ...contentment.
