Sefid and Mallows are twin kittens but they portray different personalities. Sefid, the white cat is adventurous, bold, energetic and usually displays hunting instinct. He is always moving around with his ears upright, checking out each corner of the house and enjoys playing in the garden, chasing insects he could find on the ground. Mallows, on the other hand is timid, reserved, calm and prefers to scratch on wood to sharpen her claws and climb curtains. Both Mallows and Sefid are sweet and lovely 3-month-old kittens. In this video, Sefid wanted to engage Mallows in a cat fight play. He had been provoking her but Mallows simply tried to run before owner started filming. When Mallows found her peaceful spot on a sofa, Sefid came and started provoking her. She retaliated and they engaged in a playful cat fight. At a certain point, Mallows was not responsive to Sefid's provocations but Sefid ensued which turned mallows to hiss and she snarled and growled. What happened next.... Sefid pinned Mallows hard and started licking her head. What a wonderful sight! He is trying to offer peace. And the most wonderful part of all, Mallows showed irritable expression at first, you can judge it by looking at her closely in the video, but quickly accepted Sefid's offer of peace by licking him back. Lovely!

Like the legend story of the ugly duckling, Sefid was rejected as a kitten but now, he has grown to be a super cute, adorable, lovely cat. When Sefid and his sibling was up for sale at two months old, many showed interest in buying him. Then, he looked very cuddly and innocently cute. But with stroke of misfortune, he suffered an allergy that caused him to lose hair mostly on the parts of his head - around his nose; above his eyes; on his ears; in between his ears and on his nape. This had a big impact on his overall appearance. He was given medication for his cat allergy and it was gone but it left those patches of no hair area seemingly permanent. His first buyer refused to get him when he saw how he looked like after the allergy. He was rejected. This girl in the picture insisted to get him and gave the name Sefid. She also got Sefid's sibling who had also suffered from the same ordeal. Seen in this video are Sefid's pictures and video clips when he just arrived in his new home. He is very active and inquisitive. He loves discovering things. As shown in the video, Sefid was treated with a plant extract that was taken from a forest. This plant was used by the girl's grandmother in treating scabies and wounds. Chemical analysis was also conducted on this plant extract as part of grandma's science project when she was still teaching Biology in a village high school Will the plant extract work? Certainly, it did! It took only two applications for Sefid's hair to be back to normal. The first treatment was given to him after few days from the time he arrived at his new home and the next was two weeks thereafter. After the first application of the extract, Sefid's hair was observed to start growing in few days. Second application was necessary for his ears, the portion above his eyes and around his nose. Fortunately, his hair grew well in all the areas affected. The plant extract really works. Now, look how gorgeous Sefid had grown! The supposedly first buyer who rejected Sefid must be shocked to see him now. Thanks to the girl who loved him unconditionally despite his hair loss. Today, Sefid is seven months old. Just like when he was an adorable kitten, the very first time he arrived at his new home, Sefid is very active, most of the time naughty but sweet, adventurous and obedient. Yes, he is a very obedient cat. He uses his litter box and makes no mess around the house, he does not break stuffs inside the house and he does not scratch sofas or other furniture. Like the ugly duckling, prejudgments do not lead to a wise conclusions. Adding to this, judging fellow living organisms with factors that are just skin-deep usually leads to regret. Lastly, do not underestimate the power of plant extracts – some extracts are more potent than pharmaceutical products several folds.

Acrylic painting for kids or beginners - this video shows how to paint a nice waterfall painting that kids under fifteen years old can easily follow. This painting video tutorial was prepared for a group of homeschooling kids, ages 6 to 15. Toots teens mom volunteered to conduct Let's Paint sessions where children will learn how to paint with easy to follow steps. Parents are always amazed with their children's output every after session. Children can easily come up with a beautiful painting output when they see how the colors are combined together, how the brush is stroked to create the impression one desires to paint. In this particular waterfall painting demo, the painting was done in just over 20 minutes. The output of the children who participated in this activity are featured here - https://hubpages.com/art/Acrylic-Painting-with-Kids This video is uploaded in Youtube here - https://youtu.be/mgJSm5XQBUQ

Did you hate math as a kid? Had you been wishing that math is not one of your subjects in school? In this video, Mehdi demonstrated how to multiply numbers really fast using lines. This math trick is said to have originated in Japan. Before teaching this to kids, it is recommended that they should have memorized their multiplication table already because one they come to know this trick, they will never attempt to master their multiplication table at all. This trick is so precise that you do not need a calculator to multiple more than 2 digits multiplicand and multiplier. That is amazing, you might say. Amazing as it is, the downside is that children will not take the pain of committing into their memory what is 7x8 or 5x7. They will feel so comfortable just drawing lines. Math is life and life is not always with pencil and paper where one can make lines. If you are in a grocery and you need to calculate 70% of an item worth $80, would you look for a pen and paper. Arriving at my point, I would like to emphasize that this trick must be used by learners only to confirm if they answered correctly or not. They have to manually calculate their math homeworks. I have written more about raising kids who will love math and prioritize it over their other subjects in this link: https://hubpages.com/education/Why-My-Children-Loves-Math-Easy-Math-Tricks-they-Enjoy Another toots teens fun video we hope you enjoyed.

You may have seen a giant starfish but have you seen how it moves? It was not our first time to see a starfish. We have seen these amazing creatures before in Manila Ocean Park. They lazily lay down on a sand inside a glass box where the level of the water was about one foot deep. Encountering these creature in their natural habitat however, is a totally different experience. In one of our family fun travel in Anda, Pangasinan, Philippines, we saw lots of giant starfish on shallow waters. We picked up one and observed how it moves. For few seconds, there was no movement. Then, when it started to open and extend those tiny pink extensions, we watched in excitement! For the first time, we have seen these tiny structures extending out like a thousand tentacles. Because of sheer ignorance, we thought these are tentacles until we reached home and consulted Mr. Google. These are its tube feet. Starfish moves using its hundreds, maybe thousands tube feet. Do you know how many tube feet it has? Starfish are not the only creatures with tube feet. Urchins have it too. Do you know another animal that has tube feet? Comment below :) We have taken footages of urchins and sea cucumber and we will be posting it soon, so stay posted! Plus a close encounter with another specie of star fish - surely, all are exciting to see and watch!

Helen is interested in painting. One of the first lessons she learned is how to paint flowers using simple, easy single stroke. Using this single stroke technique allows the painter to create impressions and texture that portrays the petals of a flower. Helen prepared this demo tutorial for her homeschooling project in arts. She was 8 years old when this was taken.

This artist grabs every tourist's attention in Summer Palace, Beijing, China. Touring China requires that someone is up to the challenge of conquering the seemingly endless stairs that leads to one palaces or monasteries. If you want to see various attractions, you have to prepare yourself to handle not only stairs but to hike on steep mountains. Tired with our trip to the ever famous China Wall, we have lost our energy to tackle more stairs and more hiking when we came to the Summer Palace. Eager and curious to see what the temples look and what are inside these temples, we climbed stairs and was welcomed by an artist who was creating on the spot artworks for tourist to buy. In this video, you will see him putting the final touches to his artwork. We recorded the whole process but we opted to cut it off because some people were blocking the view. He was able to complete this in less than 3 minutes. The purchaser was beaming as she handed over yuan paper bills to the artist. Everyone wanted to get a glimpse of what this artist was doing. Without us noticing, we were already pushed aside and was not able to record more. With this artist, it was worth climbing stairs to see what is at the top of those stairs. Of course, the temples were nice too.

I prepared this video tutorial for my Let's Paint sessions with homeschooling kids.

Sefid the white cat awakened from his sleep and started grooming himself. Mallows, the black cat says: "Groom my paws, too." Sefid heeded to her request and gently licked Mallows' paws. Sefid and Mallows are called yin yang cats because of their contrast in color and how they sleep together. Their personality differs too but they complement each other.

If you know the English name of this fruit, write it down on the comment box. During our recent family fun trip, we saw this tree with lots of fruits. Toots teens have tasted this fruit before but forgot how it tastes so we pick a few and tasted it. Oh my! It is so sour. In the Philippines, this plant thrives in jungles and forests. Some would plant it in their yards. Aside from enjoying it with salt on a hot humid day, this fruit is also used in cooking sinigang, a sour stew. Do you know other uses of this fruit? We will be glad to know. Will you dare to taste this super sour fruit? Homeschooling project in Science -- unique plant identified.

Boys are not interested in learning how to arrange flowers? Not this boy. He was enjoying what he was doing and he challenged himself to arrange the flowers in a short time - two minutes. Homeschooling boy, 12 years old at the time this video was taken, was up for the challenge of gathering flowers and leaves from their garden and arrange it for mother's day. He picked birds of paradise, carnation, roses and some leaves. His mom's heart melted with seeing his output placed carefully at her working table. What a nice gift for mom not only for mother's day but also for other occasions such as birthdays, Christmas, anniversaries and other parties or events. Boys may show disinterest in arranging flowers but should they not? Well, practically speaking, men spend for flowers as gifts during their lifetime. It would be economical if they know how to arrange flowers. If you are looking for more mother's day gift ideas, stay tuned.

It is totally inconceivable that a person who has access to the Internet and knows how to use it has not noticed that cats have totally taken over it and rule it with supremacy! But if you think that this is a modern phenomenon - you are dearly mistaken: not only that cats are trending for the past 10 years on the Internet but they are trending for millenia. If you do not believe us, please take a look at the drawings of cats in the Egyptian pyramids. But let us return to the present. Youtube is brimming with videos of cute kittens and every video is becoming an almost instant sensation. There are a lot of channels dedicated only to striped purring creatures, memes, gifs, demotivators, avatars with <a href="https://rumble.com/v4ulol-snazzy-rats.html" target="_blank">mustaches</a>, tails and cat muzzles that have eclipsed the space of social networks, there are oceans of groups of feline lovers, which in fact are the most popular forms of online networking of pet enthusiasts. People who have not been dragged into the pool of kitty veneration, are dealing with a very logical question: "What aroused such interest in these soft-furred mousers? Why not dogs? Why not birds? Or fish? Why cats? ". Both the very culprits, doing the campaigns for promoting cats online, and the viewers and loyal cat fans, even though they do their best to unravel the mystery of cat interest, they cannot provide a single definite answer, apart from: "But they are soo cuuuuute - don’t you just want to squeeeze theem?", "Cat is my spirit animal, and I think that half the world agrees with me", "Cats ...hmm ... I just love them!", "Cause they are so funny and adorable." Do you think it's really so simple: do cats attract us with their charming charisma? And that's all? Watch for example, the adorable video of the two kittens who cannot decide who actually included in the fight. Malos and Sefid are two young kittens who have engaged in an epic <a href="https://rumble.com/v34zk3-adorable-raccoon-siblings-behaving-like-children.html" target="_blank">wrestling match</a> for tiger toy dominance. Who will win? The black one or the white one? Watching kitty play can never be a boring experience, and we are addicted to their charm. Check out the two precious little munchkins doing kitten stuff in the most adorable way! These two little kittens, named Malos and Sefid, get involved in a classic sibling <a href="https://rumble.com/v50vtl-siblings-play-phantom-drawer-prank-on-little-brother.html" target="_blank">play</a> fight with a toy tiger boy serving as the prize and as the referee. It has to be one of the cutest confrontations you'll ever see. You can't help but smile while watching that! Now, do you finally understand why cats are the supreme rulers of the Internet?

Michael went out today and tried discovering things around. Finding Mimosa pudica along the road, he stopped and started touching each leaf. He enjoys seeing this plant react to his touch. Mimosa pudica which is also known as the shy plant grows abundantly in the tropics. In the Philippines, it is called makahiya, which literally translates to someone who is shy. In some places, it is called the sensitive plant or the sleeping plant. This plant thorns on its stem, like the thorns of roses, so be careful when you touch the stems. It is not only unique for its pink, fluffy flower which would surely catch anyone's attention although it is tiny but it is also one of a kind plant for its reaction to touch. Once someone or something will touch its leaves, or when the plant is shaken or a strong wind blows it, the leaves will close as if it sleeps. It will take few minutes before it will open again. This plant must be thoroughly examined by scientists who worked on sensors? It has an interesting mechanism. Have you ever seen this plant?

You missed the best part of Beijing if you leave the city without tasting the famous roasted Peking duck or Beijing duck. Upon an exhausting climb to the scenic spot of the amazing wall of China, the Great Wall, it would be necessary to re-energize your body with a sumptuous meal. The restaurant shown in this video is found at the heart of Beijing which is hours drive away from the Great Wall. The good thing is, it is few steps away from the Forbidden City. This restaurant is so famous that if you want to dine their, you may have to reserve ahead of time. You may do so in a machine where you can input your desired time to dine, what are your orders and how many diners will go. Even with this reservation, you may find yourself waiting for your duck to be roasted. We sat right in front of the grilling area. It is fueled by firewood and the heat can be felt in the area where we sat. Nonetheless, we did not mind the heat because we observed closely how they were roasting the duck. After our order was ready, they prepared it in front of us. You see here the restaurant crew slicing the duck before our eyes. As you see in the video, even the skin is served. We never thought that it is delicious too. Truly, roasted peking duck is a must try when you are in Beijing. And yes, contrary to what you may have been watching about food preparation in this country, they prepared it well, neat and clean.

Toots teens kids took the challenge of picking the leaves of makahiya without causing it to close. This plant, called makahiya in the local language (Philippines), is known as shy plant, shame plant, sleepy plant. It is called as such because when the leaves are touched, it reacts in a seemingly shy way - it "closes." The scientific name of this plant is Mimosa Pudica. The link to the first video is here - https://rumble.com/v4tpdf-toddler-had-fun-with-mimosa-pudicatouch-and-see-how-this-shy-plant-reacts.html After we posted our first video of Michael having fun with this plant, facebook friends reminded us of a challenge that children in the village used to do with this plant. Retired science teacher, Irenea Sannad, mentioned that when she was a child, kids compete on a challenge: Who can pick the leaves without causing it to close. Another friend also mentioned this challenge so we went out and do the challenge too. Michael does not want to join the challenge - he just enjoy poking the leaves and watch it close. Mehdi and Helen tried their best -- see who was able to do it well. The trick of doing it is found at the end of the video. We hope you enjoyed it.

Cats are carnivores, aren't they? But, today while Sefid and Mallows were in the garden, they started nibbling on grasses - they played with plants, bite twigs and swallowed some leaves. Should you be worried when you see your lovely kittens are eating grasses? Cat experts say that this is a normal behavior that serves several purposes. In fact, if your feline is totally indoors, it would be clever for you to buy grass for your cat. Cats eat grass for dietary benefit and for their digestive system. The juice contained in the grasses or plants contains vitamins and minerals that are essential for their growth. One very important nutrient they can get from juice of plants is folic acid. On the other hand, eating grass can relieve their upset tummy. In fact, it could help them expel fur that accumulated in their digestive system that is not broken down. Finally putting out these fur or other hard objects in their stomach such as bones will surely relieve them of tummy pain. In this video, Sefid, the white cat, was biting the stem of a stevia, a plant that is used as sugar alternative for people who are suffering from diabetes. He was earlier spotted nibbling on tiny grasses (not shown in the video). Mallows, the black one, was eating bermuda grass and was playing with the dried stem of snake plant flower. Enjoy Sefid and Mallows videos in these links: Kitten best friends fight, kiss and make up https://rumble.com/v514oh-kitten-turned-angry-in-a-cat-fight-play-whats-next-will-melt-your-heart.html Confused kitten tries to find his mirror reflection https://rumble.com/v4zh1t-so-cute-cat-looking-in-the-mirror.html

Tondol Beach in Anda, Pangasinan, Philippines is now our favorite beach destination after we saw this beautiful place in 2017. In one of our visits, we made giant bubbles in this island. The island is not far from the mainland where locals reside. Nonetheless, since it is a little-known white beach destination, no other guests were present here. Making giant bubbles while vacationing in a beach escalates the fun. Imagine creating really big bubbles that would fly up in the air, into the blue ocean and disappears before our eyes. The solution is homemade. If you wish to know the ingredients, comment below. It was one of a kind beach experience for us.

Have you watched or tried the bean boozled tasting challenge or super hot noodles challenge or super sour for challenge? Try chewing betel and you will conclude that all the other challenges are not as challenging as this. Toots teens kids are up to the challenge of trying the betel for the first time. They were curious to know how this taste like after they heard someone say that Igorots are like vampires. Igorots refer to a tribal group in the Northern part of the Philippines. Toots teens kids are Igorots. Although they were born and raised in the city, they frequently visit the village where their mother came from. It is not uncommon that Igorots are subjected to ridicule, senseless comments and being discriminated upon. People usually think of Igorots as barbarians, uncivilized and whatever there is to degrade the reputation of these tribe. The latest we have heard - Igorots are like vampires! They are like Dracula. Whoa?! What is the basis of this? Fake News!!! Igorots have black-tainted teeth and their tongue, gums and mouth are red - just like a dracula who had just feasted on its prey? This traits are caused by chewing betel. Until today, many Igorots, young and old are chewing betel. Traditionally, this is used as a way of keeping social connection or social interaction. They chew betel nut as they gather around, chat and spend moments together. Sometimes, a neighbor will visit his neighbor purposely to ask for one of the ingredients and they will be chatting while enjoying their betel. When they chance upon each other in a trail, up the mountains, fields, or anywhere - they pause for a chat and share their betel nuts, lime and betel leaf. There are other uses of betel for the community people. Betel leaf and betel nut have medicinal values. Lime, on the other hand, is prepared by burning river univalve shells. It is rich in calcium. Despite all these benefits, it must be noted that chewing betel has health hazards and thus, it must not be used frequently. Toots teens kids credited this activity as their homeschooling project in Science because our topic is about chemicals. Some chemical reactions are observable in this traditional activity of Igorots - Chewing betel. In addition, they also credited it as their project in Philippine History - knowing their roots and understanding it better. They were proud Igorots and they wanted to know more. Dare to chew betel and tell us how was the experience. Warning! For toots teens kids, this is their Ultimate Challenge in tasting something - they have tried bean boozled but it is not as thrilling as this! The tobacco is an optional ingredient - toots teens did not use it because of its nicotine content.
