Glazed Chicken Kebabs and Does Your Word Build You Up?

A tongue has no bones but it is strong enough to break a heart. Be careful with your words

 What the heck! Ooopss! Did you just catch me saying a bad word? Heck, is it a bad word? I am actually very averse of bad words spoken. The people who say them are not bad but somehow it is their way of expressing themselves.  I believe that we have to express ourselves freely but we have to be careful on what words come out from our mouths.

Be careful with your words. Once they are said, they can only be forgiven, not forgotten.

When my son was little, I was so mad at him that I said  he is stupid. He reacted so pitifully and he said, you just called me stupid and he hysterically cried. Writing this right now, just made me cringe on how awful I felt that day.How careless I was. Although I can justify the emotion that I felt that time, I cannot justify the " name" that I called him. That was the first and that was the last. It took me a while to undo the words that I have spoken. In fact, right now I am still making it up.

A lot  parents just casually call their children  names, as if it is normal. If you do, please stop it right now. Also, they utter words that curses. And even blasphemy.

Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.

Because words are powerful, it can break or make a person. Much worse, it can break the person who had spoken them - through karma. The Bible said, You will reap what you sow. This apply in all our daily dealings like work, relationship and our words. have you ever noticed that when you say kind words, the other party cannot help but respond to you kindly? But when you are mean, the other party will be defensive? To be honest, when I hear a person spew out bad words, I pretty much conclude that, that person does not have enough vocabulary to express himself aside from curses. For me, if one wants to be cool, he/she should have enough words other than bad words to express himself, right?

Below are the collection of verses regarding the power of words.

Matthew 15:18 - But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. 


Proverbs 18:21 - Death and life [are] in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

Proverbs 16:24 - Pleasant words [are as] an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.

Kind words can be short and easy to speak but their echos are truly endless

Cauliflower Soup with Basil leaves

I am getting into the fourth month in this blog and I have not shared something very important to me. It doesn't   need a lot of words to explain it, but this has been my pillar and  my compass. Everything around me changes but these remain the same

It is impossible for us to break the law. We can only break ourselves against the law.

Recipe for Purple Cauliflower

Sure, I swayed from them so many times, disobeyed and found them difficult to follow, but these have been my reference point when I make decisions and when I am in doubt on  how to behave in certain circumstances. These have been my gauge whether I am doing well or wrong in my life's journey.These are my principles.

Delicious Cauliflower Soup

Principles are very important. Without them, we will just be walking in our life's journey without direction; and are often affected by circumstances. Eventually, we will become a person without character. Whether our principles are good or bad, they will certainly shape us. Below are my principles :

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS:

1. Thou shall have not other gods before me.
2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven images.
3. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord in vain
4. Remember the sabbath day to keep it holy
5. Honor thy father and thy mother
6. Thou shalt not kill
7. Thou shalt not commit adultery
8. Thou shalt not steal
9. Thous shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor
10. Thou shalt not covet anything that is thy neighbor

I am pretty much a very sensitive person and I get easily sad or I call it depressed. For this reason, I have collection of words of wisdom that carry me through the bad days. I want to share it to you from here

How about you? What is/are your principle? Please list them in the comment section. Thanks!

Today, I made a one of a kind soup. It is black in color. I did not really intend this to become black as this, but it did. I did not mind, because the color added character to its look. And the taste does not disappoint either. This is tasty and delicious. Aside from its health benefit, don't you think it looks pretty too? In the photo, I added sesame seeds, basil and mascarpone cheese but they are optional. You can skip those. You can replace avocado for mascarpone to really make it healthier. This is almost similar to Spinach Soup

Cauliflower Soup


1 head purple cauliflower
3 cups Almond Milk Vanilla Flavor
1/2 cup Basil Leaves

Serve with sour cream or mascarpone. I just used mascarpone, since I have some left when I made Sponge Cake.
Replace sour cream with avocado for healthier option then add in some basil leaves.


Clean and cut cauliflower into small pieces. remove stem.
Place ingredients 1 to 3 in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil until cauliflower  is soft. Around 30 minutes. Add in water. And boil some more for 5 more minutes
Place in a blender and blend until mixture is totally blended.
