How to invest in farming online

Farming has never been this easy and high tech.  Most overseas Filipino workers (OFW) depend on monthly salaries from employers in the country they reside.  Most of the money goes to their families back home to the Philippines.  Sadly, nothing is being saved or invested from the remittances that were sent  monthly leaving the poor OFW not  even a single penny when he/she retires.

Good thing today in the world of information technology, there are a lot of venues to invest.  We just need to be very careful not be be scammed or all of our money will go to waste.

One easy platform for investing is the online farming called FarrmOn.   FarmOn is a crowdfunding community wherein people invests online for real farmers to do the job.  It started in 2014 all my true blooded farmers.

I was watching the Hacksaw Ridge, a 2016 movie directed by Mel Gibson starring Andrew Garfield.  It is about an American army medic, Pvt. Desmond Doss who served the battle of Okinawa, who because of his strong religious belief refused to hold a gun and ill people.  He saved 75 soldiers during that battle.  He was given the medal of honor even without holding a gun or firing it. Watching this movie tells us about a lot of things. 

1. Life is a daily battle and we have to just keep on saving one another.

In life's battle, it is not how many you have one but how many lives you have touched.  The struggle in our daily life is real.  Every day there is war of hunger and poverty - not just of food but of wanting to be loved.  The hunger for love is much worse than the hunger for physical food.  Our souls need attention as much as our own physical body.  Everyone of us, each individual, is in a situation different from one another.  So, it might be useful to at least help one more every day.  

2.  It helps so much to pray.

  Not only in war that we need to pray.  We thank God, the supreme being, for all the daily small and big amazing miracles that we get everyday.  And when we are weak, He is our strength.  The movie opens with.....

Isaiah 40:28-31, “Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, The Creator of the ends of the earth, Neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, And the young men shall utterly fall, But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.”

This was also the verse I have held on to during my battle with thyroid cancer.  Indeed God will raise us up on eagles wings.

3.  Be passionate and get respect.  

Give 101% in everything you do and people will notice not you but what you do.  Desmond in the movie was laughed at at first but when they saw what he did,  they believed in him even if most of the soldiers are nonbelievers of God.  He gained respect because he was passionate of his calling.

4,  The word of God is our weapon.

Even if we deny the truth in the bible, most of our whys in life can be answered by studying the word of God in the bible.  In times of trials and sufferings, the word is our comfort.  It pays to study the bible.

5.  Leaders lead the first defense.

Leaders should always be front liners so that the followers may truly believe in what they are fighting for.  How can a leader lead when he is hiding at the back?  In saving souls, leaders are supposed to go first into the battle and rescue,  They bring about healing and hope.

As we continue our battle in life, others are also having their own battles.  We should remember that we can always ask God to help us to help more people.

The V formation

Today as I walked home, I saw the migratory birds in V formation flying away from Dubai.  This marks that winter is over.  Here comes the sun.  Goodbye migratory birds...

I cried watching Beauty and the Beast 2017 movie

Beauty and the beast, the animation, has always been my favorite Disney movie before Frozen came.  Well, at least it is still my favorite romantic animation.  The movie was just like the animated movie in 1991 except I noticed that the song "Kiss the girl" was not included and there was an additional time travel where Belle saw how her mother died or why they had to leave her mother behind in Paris when she was a child. Same story plot but it all came to life.

The movie opened with once upon a time, there was a young prince.  Then there was the village song with Belle and everybody saying that she is peculiar.  Who could ever forget Gaston, the captain who wants to marry Belle.  The same arrogant captain who had Maurice, (Belle's father) be eaten by wolves in the forest then had him sent to the asylum.  The same guy who despite him wanting to marry Belle, he also locked up Belle with her father.  Worse, he shot the beast twice to kill him.

What made me cry watching the movie?

1.  The father's love.  Maurice has sacrificed his love for his wife leaving her in Paris during a plague so that Bell could survive.

2.  A mother's love.  Belle's mother had to be left behind in Paris for her to be saved during a plague.

3.  A daughter's love.  Belle came to the beast and became prison in place of her father.

The lesson here is LOVE.  It has always been love that can change a beast to a handsome prince.  Remember the frog prince, the sleeping beauty and all other animation about LOVE.  Love is still the most powerful feeling in the world that even the wildest beast can change into a loving prince.  But the most wonderful love of all is...the family's love - father, mother and child!
