Know me more...
Hello, I’m Joy. I’m fifteen, tall and fair skinned. For me, my life is near to perfect, I have a lot of friends and we all get along and I have a family who cares for me. I am not the fly chick you see in malls and I like it that way, I want myself to be simple but elegant, I love it that way. My friends always remind me that I am beautiful and blessed, they never ever even once told me that I’m bland and a not-so-interesting kid. I’m always happy with them; we are just like soul sisters and brothers. I can’t say that we all have the same interests but we understand each other and we respect each other. Some of my friends likes performing, some studies but me I love playing the piano, fashion, creating looks and taking pictures of them. I have a passion for fashion. We even do amateur pictorials sometimes, they’re not professionally made but we enjoyed it. Since we’re talking fashion here, don’t you like Gucci? Oh, I adore Gucci and Armani, Valentino and many more. I would really love to have all of those super stuffs from those super designers and I also love to travel to fashion places like Milan and France. So, that’s all. Hope you find those interesting as I find those entire cool.

Below is an inspirational poem where you can pick good values that can improve every day's life.
Desiderata
-- written by Max Ehrmann in the 1920s --
Not "Found in Old St. Paul's Church"! -- see below
Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even to the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexatious to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter,
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love,
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

MORINGA, MALUNGGAY, SAJINA
Moringa is the English name, Malunggay in Philippines, Sajina in Indian Subcontinent and South East Asia. It grows wildly in hot tropical climate.
Moringa is a herb known all over the world. But only recently in the U.S. It may provide the energy, nutrition and health you've been looking for.
Moringa is a remarkable discovery, which can make biga difference in your health. Gathering scientific evidence shows what has been known for thousands of years by people in the tropical parts of the world: Moringa is nature's medicine cabinet.
It is best known as a source of nutrition and a natural energy booster. Loaded with nutrients, vitamins and amino acids, it replenishes your body and provides what you need to get through a hectic weekday or active weekend.
As the candles multiply on top of your birthday cake, you may find yourself slowing down and saying, I just don't feel young any more. Moringa gives back some of the energy you thought was lost.
According to Inquirer malunggay is a gram for gram seven times more concentrated in Vitamin C compared to oranges, four times the calcium and twice the protein compared to milk, four times the vitamin A in carrots, and three times the potassium content of bananas. It also contains minerals and amino acids, and has been cited by the Asian Vegetable Research Development Center in Taiwan as the most nutritious plant in the world. Malunggay also helps reduce blood pressure.
But when do we realize to eat this kind of vegetable. When we age 70. We must start eating nutritious food when we our young.
Daily must-eat foods
Galvez-Tan’s “daily must-eat foods” are:
• Vegetables, eaten raw or as salad or pickled
• Fruits, all kinds, eaten fresh or taken as fresh juice
• Cooked vegetables
• Nuts—peanuts, cashew, coconut, pili
• Complex carbohydrates—brown rice, brown sugar (muscovado, molasses), whole wheat bread, whole corn, kamote, cassava, gabi, ube
“Our diet today is filled with empty calories, carcinogens (cancer-causing chemicals), high-sugar, foods high in bad cholesterol and fat. Eating a plant-based diet will boost your health and well-being,” he said.
On the other hand, Galvez-Tan’s “must-avoid foods” are:
• Animal meat, especially processed meat
• Animal milk and milk products like butter
• Shell fishes—tahong, talaba, tulya, alimango, alimasag, shrimps, prawns, lobsters.
“The World Cancer Research Fund’s report in 2007, based on a five-year project spanning more than 7,000 clinical studies, declared that all people should immediately stop buying and eating processed meat products and that all processed meat should be avoided for life. Processed meats contain chemical additives that greatly increase the risk of various cancers, including colorectal cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, leukemia, brain tumors, and pancreatic cancer,” he said.
A lot of malunggay grows everywhere. It is easy to grow, especially here in the Philippines. Life can be more pleasing if we live life with a healthy way. While kids are young parents must train their child to love vegies and fruits.
