Who loves fruit? Who loves planting trees? There are people who only loves eating fruits but not loving to plant it. When I was young I love planting trees, flowers and vegetables. The happiness that I feel after planting was genuine. It is free and yet the effect both in physical and mental is so priceless. In this article, I have to cite three (3) advantages of having fruit trees in the backyard: ***a. Fruit supplies at home is free*** Absolutely, since the fruit trees will definitely give fruit. You would not spend much money for your daily fruit consumption because you can have and eat it for free. Assurance of a chemical-free is 100%. ***b. Gives clean and fresh air*** Have you noticed when your home is surrounded by many trees it won't easily get dust? It is because the trees will protect you from the dust. It won't directly enter to your house because the trees will definitely block it. ***c. Shades us from the sunlight*** Who loves to stay under the tree during summer time? Count me in because I love to stay it there. Just staying under the trees will help your body relax from the heat of the sun. We've learned it from the medical experts that too much exposure from the sun can absolutely damage our skin and it has a bad effect to our health, too much exposure will lead to heat stroke and other health complications. So let's start planting trees today and let us help save mother earth. What fruit tree/s do you have at home? Feel free to share it to us.

These pictures was taken 4 years ago. I was with my mom, sister and nieces. We visited our relative's farm and we're so lucky during that visit because we were able to harvest vegetables by our own. The farm is so huge and they also have rice field.

This picture was taken 2 years ago. I travelled alone from Dumaguete, Negros Oriental to Bacolod City, Negros Occidental. My mood during that time was melancholic because of the project refusal from a client. I tried to close my eyes and get some rest while on the bus but the scenario was kept running in my mind. There were times that handling rejection is so hard and made you depressed. Since I could not sleep I just stared outside, stared to nowhere. But my bad mood was suddenly disappeared as I saw this magical view. The view really made me smile. This is the magic of nature. It gives you an inspiration, a new hope, strength and help you to smile again and helps you to appreciate what life gives you.

We were taught the importance of trees during our elementary years. We were taught how to plant it and how to take care of it until it grows. However, when we get older we gradually forgot what we had learned when we were young. We forgot how to take care of our environment and how to save it when it is in danger. In this article I would like to share it to you on how I saved Trees when my family and I have decided to build an extension for our restobar. To commit a sustainable business is my top priority as I entered in the world of entrepreneurship. These are my 3 ways on how I saved trees: Design an environmental-friendly building I am not an Engineer nor an Architect but I designed the building by my own. My goal is to save trees. I want them to stand still despite of the business improvement. Give clear instruction to the contractor I presented my building design to the contractor. I instructed them well not to cut trees and make sure that the building will still safe especially during rain. Check the daily progress of the building construction I was with the contractor from day-1 until the construction was finished. There were suggestions and comments I gave to them while the construction is on-going. Thankful that they diligently followed my designed. So,let's help save mother earth.
