Ang Gutom ay Gamot

Maraming tao ay takot magutom. Para sa kanila ito ay kondisyon na dapat iwasan dahil ito ang dahilan ng pagkakasakit. Kaya naman, sa isip nila, mas mabuti ang kumain ng marami at maging laging busog.

Pero salungat ang ganitong paniniwala sa lumalabas na pag-aaral kaugnay ng tamang pagkain at nutrisyon.

Kung tutuusin mas maraming sakit ang nakukuha sa pagkain na labis labis kaysa sa pagkain ng tama lamang at sa paglilimita sa calories na kinakain natin.

Again...Pocket Parks/gardens



A park is defined as "a wide open green area used for recreation".

With this definition, it is not surprising why there are very few parks in a highly congested and urban place like Metro Manila. Most people would rather use the precious land there is for residential or commercial purposes.

However, the more a place is congested, the more people need a green open space.

Parks are not just green spaces but also serve as base democratic spaces for  the people which help raise their quality of life be they rich or poor.

There may not be open land available in Metro Manila Cities and town anymore to create big parks but people can still come together to create pocket parks and gardens in their communities no matter how small these areas are.

A side benefit of engaging in this activity will be the forging of greater community spirit and pride among the local people.

Nice place

I was struggling to write something and thought I had to go to a conducive place. Happy that I found it. It was quiet and cozy enough that I was at least able to finish a draft of what I had to write.

Thanks to this place. I think it will be my favorite haunt... at least for a while.
