Dried Fish Haiku

 
Dried Fish 

one house fries dried fish

sea salt fills the village air

everyone partakes

The inspiration came one early Sunday morning as I was doing the laundry.  I didn't have yummy tuyo for breakfast.  The neighbor did.  :)


Credit goes to retirednoway for the pic.

perceive and peruse

Or better yet, see and read thoroughly.

This great video is for writers (hi writer ko misis ko!), copywriters, editors, copy editors and every person who wants to be understood. 

If you want to do otherwise, to flaunt your expansive and exhaustive vocabulary, talk to your English Teacher.

So say what you mean, and mean what you say.  



Thanks once again to TED and TED-ED.  And to Terin Izil, good job!


Now where can I convert my ten-dollar words to real cash?

if money makes the world go around

mine sure is revolving ever so slowly now.


somebody jumpstart it please.

Sibling Bond

I started looking back at my formative years growing up with my siblings after viewing this TED talk.  Jeff Kluger affirms what those of us with brothers and sisters have observed, but with an empirical advantage.  Indeed, birth order and relationships with parents and other siblings have a big influence in a person.

What he explicates in the video can also make me further understand my role as a parent.

I am thankful to my siblings.  We make sure we constantly communicate and share our pains and joys even if they are far, far, away from me (all of them are Americans now) .

Compassion and Caring is really a necessary ingredient of healthy relationships and I have my parents and of course my sisters and brother to thank for it.

And Jeffrey Kluger explains and presents it in a user-friendly yet scientific way.  Now to get a copy of the book, The Sibling Effect.

I am not alone.
