Tiger, tiger burning bright
in the forest of the night
what immortal hand or eye
dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

Ringworm Bush, Akapulko/Today's Flowers #32
Encountered this flower at the forest in Tayabas, Quezon province. Locals call it Akapulko and it's known to have medicinal uses, according to a herbal site. Other names are ringworm bush, candle bush [Casia alata Linn., Senna alata]. It is an erect, shrubby legume found throughout the Philippines. It grows up to 6 feet tall, with dark green compound leaves. It has yellow-orange flowers that produce on average 50-60 small, triangular seeds. The leaves, flowers and seeds have very effective fungicidal properties for treating ringworm and other fungal infections of the skin. Its laxative effect, due to its anthraquinone content, is also well proven.

Grissini di Pizza

Grissini di Pizza---freshly-baked garlic bread sticks with special cheese dip. It's been a long while since I dined at Piadina in Greenbelt. Met two friends here in late February, and the food was as good as I remembered. We munched on these bread sticks while waiting for the main course.
