I fear this

Jenaisle @Jenaisle (16393) • Philippines 30 Aug

I went to visit some friends and I met an 82-year-old woman who was struggling to walk - even with her walker. She told me how she often lacks sleep because she couldn't climb back to bed after going to the john, so she just leans...

Looking back on my vacation in the sun-soaked beaches, vibrant neighborhoods, Hollywood glamour, and endless attractions of Los Angeles, California. I now realize that I enjoyed the more peaceful and tranquil environment of the...

Do you act or react?

Jenaisle @Jenaisle (16393) • Philippines 26 Aug

In life, we cannot control other people's behavior; however, we can control our own because we're rational beings with sane minds. If someone is rude to you, the most common reaction would be to be rude to that person as well....

What’s one belief or opinion you used to hold strongly?

Jenaisle @Jenaisle (16393) • Philippines 23 Aug

I used to have strong faith in our previous president, but now I have realized that there's a better way to implement good changes in the government through the actions of our present president. He does not curse or 'work' with...

Ube cake

Jenaisle @Jenaisle (16393) • Philippines 21 Aug

My favorite dessert is ube (sweet yam) cake, just like in the picture. If you haven't tasted it yet, you may want to taste some. It has a mildly sweet, earthy flavor with hints of coconut and shallots. Its chewy, soft texture...

Filipino cuisine

Jenaisle @Jenaisle (16393) • Philippines 19 Aug

Filipino cuisine is a vibrant fusion of rich flavors, colorful traditions, and heartfelt hospitality. From the savory adobo (this one is my favorite, featuring meat in soy sauce and vinegar), to the sweet, creamy leche flan...

Headhunters

Jenaisle @Jenaisle (16393) • Philippines 16 Aug

When I was a kid in the village, tribal wars often occurred between villages. No one was spared: women, children, the elderly. Hence, villagers don't dare venture outside of the village's perimeter. If they do, they have to be...

Jenaisle @Jenaisle (16393) • Philippines 14 Aug

I have had memorable and amusing days while I taught before. One of the incidents I will never forget was the time when my teen daughter came to my classroom before my Clinical Chemistry class. It was urgent, and she needed my...

AI and human chess competitions

Jenaisle @Jenaisle (16393) • Philippines 11 Aug

This is what I think about artificial intelligence (AI). Although AI has surpassed human players in terms of raw calculation and strategic depth, it cannot truly beat humans in chess in every meaningful sense. AI programs like...

Poems and life

Jenaisle @Jenaisle (16393) • Philippines 10 Aug

Often, we express ourselves, our innermost desires, and our angst through poems. I'm not really a poet. However, there are times, I just can't help writing verses. The image is mine; it is one I created while dawdling online. I...

Guitar Songs

Jenaisle @Jenaisle (16393) • Philippines 10 Aug

When I was in college, one of my hobbies was playing the guitar. With simple strokes and riffs, you can accompany almost any song. My favorite songs to play were "Guitar Man" by Bread and "The Boxer" by Simon & Garfunkel. I...

What would you do?

Jenaisle @Jenaisle (16393) • Philippines 8 Aug

Imagine you're walking through a busy part of your city when a lost tourist approaches you, clearly confused and struggling to communicate in your language. They're holding a crumpled map and looking for a popular landmark, but...

Have you ever bathed like this in public?

Jenaisle @Jenaisle (16393) • Philippines 6 Aug

Have you ever bathed in the nude or watched people bathing in the nude in public? During those golden afternoons in Taloctoc, Tanudan, bathing was simple, exhilarating, and completely natural. After long days in the fields, we,...

Taloctoc - the far-flung paradise in my childhood

Jenaisle @Jenaisle (16393) • Philippines 4 Aug

As I have previously mentioned, I belong to a cultural minority called the I-Kalingas. People also call us 'Igorots' because our forefathers originated from the far-flung mountainous regions of the Cordilleras. In the Kalinga...

The second wedding

Jenaisle @Jenaisle (16393) • Philippines 3 Aug

As I posted in my last discussion, my son married at a young age, so their wedding was just a civil wedding (judge); however, after several years, they renewed their vows and held a church wedding complete with military honors....

Thought for the day

Jenaisle @Jenaisle (16393) • Philippines 30 Jul

Ask yourself, are you an instrument of peace or discord? Do you act as a bridge so that other people can live harmoniously? Or do you enjoy sowing enmity and distrust? If you have something negative to say about another person,...

I was about to give up!

Jenaisle @Jenaisle (16393) • Philippines 29 Jul

Yesterday, my two-year-old+ managed to break both my cellphone and laptop within an hour. First, he accidentally spilled ramen on my cellphone while eating. I had to place the phone inside the rice container so it would dry....
