Off in a new location

Jenaisle @Jenaisle (16543) • Philippines 13 Oct

I have not been here lately as my son fetched me for a 10-day break in his home. I miss my two grand babies. I don't babysit now but I am just too lazy to visit here. It seems I just wanted to lie down and relax for the rest of my...

Trophies and medals

Jenaisle @Jenaisle (16543) • Philippines 30 Sep

Personally, I believe trophies and medals can be pawned, but it depends on their material and sentimental value. If a trophy is made of real gold or silver, a pawn shop might accept it for its melt value. However, most trophies...

Sunrise is my best time

Jenaisle @Jenaisle (16543) • Philippines 26 Sep

I believe sunrise is better than sunset because it represents a fresh start and the promise of a new day. When I watch the sun rise, I feel a sense of peace and clarity that helps me focus and set intentions. The early morning...

What do you do?

Jenaisle @Jenaisle (16543) • Philippines 20 Sep

Lately, I’ve noticed I forget things more often, and it can be frustrating. To combat this, I’ve started building routines and writing things down, lists, notes, and calendar reminders really help. I also try to keep my mind...

Winter time again

Jenaisle @Jenaisle (16543) • Philippines 19 Sep

Our country is tropical, so we have no snow, except on rare occasions at the highest mountain peak in the country. Hence, I remembered when I went for a visit in the US pre-winter season, they brought me to Snowy Peak, where I...

Why is it important to know both sides of the story?

Jenaisle @Jenaisle (16543) • Philippines 16 Sep

It is imperative to know both sides of a story because by hearing only one side of a story, a person may not get the whole picture of what actually happened. By being able to know both sides of the story, a person is more likely...

Mind-boggling and heart-breaking

Jenaisle @Jenaisle (16543) • Philippines 8 Sep

I don't want to be a harbinger of bad news, but I just can't understand this: A mother murdering her two children before taking her own life because of poverty. I am not wealthy either, but how could anyone sane do that? Your...

Have you ever paused to reflect on how dramatically the world has changed in your lifetime? From handwritten letters to instant messages, emails, rotary phones to smartphones, or black-and-white TV to streaming on demand? What...

I fear this

Jenaisle @Jenaisle (16543) • 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...

Sunny L.A. or the Mountain West?

Jenaisle @Jenaisle (16543) • Philippines 29 Aug

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 (16543) • 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 (16543) • 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 (16543) • 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 (16543) • 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 (16543) • 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...

Who is she?

Jenaisle @Jenaisle (16543) • 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 (16543) • 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 (16543) • 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...
