World Elephant Day 2020

I wonder if Elephants are secretly Republicans, LoL ...


World Elephant Day is an international annual event on August 12, dedicated to the preservation and protection of the world's elephants. Conceived in 2011 by Canadian filmmakers Patricia Sims and Michael Clark of Canazwest Pictures, and Sivaporn Dardarananda, Secretary-General of the Elephant Reintroduction Foundation in Thailand, it was officially founded, supported and launched by Patricia Sims and the Elephant Reintroduction Foundation on August 12, 2012 ... The goal of International Elephant Day is to create awareness of the urgent plight  of African and Asian elephants, and to share knowledge and positive solutions for the better care and management of captive and wild elephants. -- wikipedia

Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.
 Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.
 For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth. - - Genesis 7

Keeping Your Cool During the Heat of Summer With No Air Conditioner

Winter will be here soon!



I grew up in a tropical, Asian country.  I survived the oppressive heat by dressing appropriately and lots of activity/swimming by the Rivers and Streams nearby. Eating lots of fresh fruit quenched my thirst. Being young and in excellent health also played a big role. 


Currently melting away from the intense heat coz of no A/C. I'm seriously thinking about dumping buckets of ice in the tub and soaking in it.❄️ Is it hot where you're at today? My mood is SO cranky from the heat!⁠ I got curious and did some research. Here's a few fun facts about heat affecting your mood:⁠

🔥 Heat triggers feelings of agitation ⁠
🔥 High humidity can lower concentration⁠
🔥 All of this leads to poor sleep and decreased energy which then makes you more cranky and depressed. ⁠


So what can you do to beat the heat besides cranking up the A/C? Take a cue from the ancient Greeks and Japanese Shinto monks by taking a COLD shower. There are so many great benefits like⁠

❄️ increased alertness⁠
❄️refined skin and hair⁠
❄️ease stress and anxiety⁠
❄️ improves circulation ⁠
❄️ adds happy endorphins! ⁠


So don't mind me while I head to the shower and soak in cool hydrotherapy to get my mood back on track! Stay cool my friends🌬️⁠

GOYA Foods: My Support

Doing my part to support GOYA Foods

It's not much, but it's a start. I am also tweaking the Paella recipe as I had never cooked it in the past.

I suddenly had the urge to become a fan when a few prominent Liberals and public figures supported a boycott of Goya's products on social media over its CEO Robert Unanue's praise of President Trump.  Nothing attracts me more to the side of the poor underdog than unreasonable Liberal hatred towards it based on nothing more than hurt feelings.
