Simple but beautiful. In my hobby, I do not mind whether a plants are imported or local. They both steal our eyes. What they need were our care and attention.

An Ideal Relation.

I forget how it originates, but according to the owner of this plant, she called this "banana ice cream". I named this plant after the owner mentioned such. I have variety of this, and remind me of the old couple that handed me this plant. They live away from neighbors surrounded by varieties of plants. They live alone in a small house, and mentioned to me their son who stay abroad. I did believe to be because, if it is true, they must have a descent life. But, its the contrary. I handed them an amount to compensate their effort.
They live along the high way, (Marawi City to Iligan City) and their environment steal my eyes. I ask my hubby to stop by, for I like the flowers around that house. I have to introduce my self and let them know that my Primary grades were in the elementary school near to them. I relate to them how I love this place. After a short introduction, I was able to start on liking the flowers around their house. They rush to provide me but when our wheels refused, because the other plants were too risky, I promise to comeback. I was not able to see them again, That was 2006, October.

Every time I cultivated this plants, I can picture how ideal they are. Though they live alone, but filled with a healthy surrounding. This must be the reasons why their relationships as a couple never last. they spend their time in planting, and as they keep the plants to bloom, they stay like in their younger age.

Tiny Butterfly and the Cat

My garden is in the rear view of my window. With few steps from my bed, I can refresh my feeling and fill my heart with the scent of flowers.. It’s not a surprise to see butterflies in any gardens. They love to taste and smell the scent and tiny sweet drops of pollination. That is why we called them friends and great admirers of flowering plants.

I can not account numbers and kinds of butterflies in my garden. But I am akin to this big-black and red butterflies. Except, they become my friends. They visited sometimes in my bedroom. My mother has plenty of ties of all kinds and source in my bedroom. Every time she notice d those butterfly’s visit, she tied nylon or other kinds used for tying to hold all blessings that this butterfly may brings. ( it is a Maranaw Superstitious beliefs) I kept on believing too that in every entry of butterfly, another blessing will come. My garden’s existence served as my invitations to them, though it was not reveal, but I have also this beliefs. The relevance of these butterflies are, significance to me not only for my eyes but also in my heart.

It was my practice to write even just a few lines for my blog when I am not busy. One time, I notice one of our cats, (we have five cats at home) busy running and then jump and silence once in a while. Something must be foreign for this cat. I was not wrong indeed, for it was entertaining to watch a butterfly and a cat playing. I suddenly slip off my work and watch them closely. Initially, I find the butterfly to be clever, avoiding the cat. Finally, I confer that the failure of the insect to fly at a maximum is the initiative of the cat. The wing of the insect in the right side was partly damage. I initiate an effort to send the butterfly out. But the cat move even fasters than I am. He has the butterfly in full control. More damage to the wings and slowly thus, this butterfly manages to fly. Happily watching thus this cat has on the butterfly, its energy was tested. The cat lifted its right arms and tried to pull back the butterfly again, until its wings was fully broken.

I tried to hold my temper for I do not encourage this kind of behavior. The cat has slowly killed the insect. Though the insect endure to survive but the cat wants to take every effort and breathe of the insect. It was too bad for this butterfly to be a captive of sadist animal. Its chance of surviving was taken, until its last bit. If we encourage our children to act like human, contrary to this cat, we have to view to them the good side of helping people in need, rather than, dragging sufferings towards few. It is one of cat’s behaviors that I detest…killing its enemy in a most sensitive manner, watching every inch of chance and take its life.

Such is the morale that I viewed to my children. Never challenge a helpless opponent, for even if you win, you can not expect a reward. In a ring, weighing both boxers is required in order to have equal chance of winning. Its cowardice act to win in a helpless opponent. If you did, you will be the laughing stock of the entire community.

While, when there is a chance to save, take the necessary action before its too late, and if there is need to help, provide it before due time. It is not fine to keep watching, while you can provide remedy for the problem. But a similar person can afford to stare at a person crawling in hardship. I regret for the tragic incident met by that butterfly. If I did not allow myself to watch and finely entertained, I might save the life of the insect. But I was wrong! We must familiarize our children to take a step on need and help to the needy and helpless and mostly, do not allow your self to participate on playing ones life, for life once taken can not be replace any more.

Puti and Batik



More Closer

Intman and puti are so close even in the early age of intaman. Puti as the mother and a father to Intman, continues to care the later. A very rear relationship. We can discover this to be an example of a strong relationship even to an animal.
