Hybiscus is one of the flowers in the world that people tend to ignore it's beauty because it's so common. When i say ignore its beauty, i mean the details of it. Ladies tend to grab it and put it on their ear because of its color but they don't really know much about its detail. So for this blog, i will expose some of the unique beauty of this flowers so you ladies can apreciate it more than before.
You ladies like this flower because of its red pedals and its yellow seed that makes this flower more beautiful. I bet you did not know that the little yellow on this flower were its seed.
Here is one thing that I want to show that you can take it as a lesson. When you see the yellow seed, that means that it's mating time for this flower. You might say, "Well they all have yellow on it everytime i see it. That might be true, but remember that everytime you take that flower off its branch, you stop it from mating. So what's the solution for this problem? I will show you step by step and you might be interested in doing it. It gives you more activities with this flower.
Hybiscus contain two major components of its reproduction. Now, what you are looking at on top is what you call pistil. On the very tip of this pistil, it contains four round, red, and fluffy and we call that Stigma. The small straw that connects the Pistil to the Stigma is what you call Style. As you see at the bottom picture, you can see Pistil and Style.
These two parts of this flower, Stigma and Style, that's another beauty of this flower that you ladies don't really pay attention to. As you see on this picture on top and the bottom, Stigma is fluffy and Style is more like hairy. This Stigma is one of the two major part of reproductive system of this flower.
Bellow these Stigma and Style, there are what you call fillamen. There are over seventy fillament that are attached to the pistil. These fillaments contains numbers of Anther at the tip of them. Anther in a common term are the seed of Hibiscus. The bottom picture will give you the idea of what the fillament and Anthers looks like.
This is more upclose picture of Anthers. Each Fillaments contains over fifty Anthers. This is the second major part of reproductive system of Hibiscus. Anthers are not perfectly round.
They are actually more like spiky rounds. The bottom picture shows the upclose shot of Anthers.
As you know that male and female have to mate in order to reproduce another kind of theirs. Same as the flowers. The Fillament will bloom, which cause the Anthers to be fully exposed. When they are fully exposed, the wind is able to blow them to another flower. Another flower also contain Stigma, which catches those blown Anthers.
Just like this picture at the bottom. Once the Stigma catches the Anthers, the process of reproduction begins. That's why the flower keeps on blooming.
If you are one of those ladies that always picking the Hibiscus flowers, here's what you can do to help the reproduction of this flower. Get the flower that you want, and rub its Fillaments to the Stigma of another Hibiscus before you put it on your ear. Its a win win situation. You help the process of reproduction of this flower, but at the same time, you still be able to stick the flower on your ear.
Best team I've ever worked with in mission trip. The are strictly mission minded even though they don't speak alot about it. I wish Mac Alfonso is in this picture too because even him is also very strictly mission minded.
Three of the leaders that I was blessed to work under their wings.
Everything we did was all about teamwork. FUNCTION AS A TEAM.
We were all about learning new things and enjoyed exploring things that we've never experienced before.
Like what i said, FUNCTION AS A TEAM.
Whether on the road or water, bring it on because we're all about experiencing new things for our gaining of knowledge.
Yep, we enjoyed working together.
I learned a lot from these servants of God and there is no regret that i can think of. I just wished there could have been more time working with them.
This family was a big blessing to our team also. They arranged boat trip for us and also took us for a tour to Jayapura and all the arrangments that they made was on their cost.
Daniel, the little boy over here was also a big help, especially helping me. He does not know how to speak engilsh so he forced me to try to figure out what he was saying. by the time we ended our day, I gained more Indonesian language because of him.
Joy is a true leader. I enjoyed working with her and I respect her perspective in terms of mission works.
I enjoyed working with them and they were big blessing to me. 
They were like two twins who were apart for a long time and finally meet after many years. 
First church that we attended after we came from highland. We sang Ach Kilisou and I shared encouragements to the congregation. 
Us and students posing for the camera after seminar.
Singing for the student at the youth seminar. 
We had our free day and drove to Jayapura and the ladies wanted to take pictures with these beautiful Papuan children.
Just having fun with Joy and Jayv on this golf course in Jayapura.
Standing at the boarder of Papua and Papua New Guinea. The yellow gate is the one that divides Papua and PNG and we're standing on the ground of Papua.
Daniel enjoying this small coconut after a long day.
Man of God I always enjoy doing ministry with. Thanks brother for everything. Thanks for all the times we've spent together whether on campus on mission field and got to know each other. Ai Tong Ngonuk my bru. 
Jayv is also another servant of God that I respect the most. Jayv, your joy of ministrying to children brought what i really enjoyed which is serving the youths. I praise the Lord for you and being part of my life. 
Me trying to figure out how to use this knife to open this hard coconut because the knife was really dull and not big enough. 
This was first time for joy to drink coconut after three or four years so she's really enjoying this coco. 
Our first encounter Yali tribal person with traditional wear.
This was free day and us guys just wanted to walk around and browse the stores for some goods.
This was our last dinner with the team in Papua and as you see the leader on my left, he is laughing because i was addressing my last speech to them in Indonesian language. I promised myself that before i leave, i would be able to speak Indonesian language to deliver my final speech and i did fulfill it. 
Free day so we wanted to get out of the house and just spend time together as a team.
We were the first official Micronesian Missionaries to be sent out to Papua and make connections aside from those Pastors who went before us a week earlier. 
We're leaders but we also like to goof around. Keeps our minds healthy and functioning well. Did you know that laughter is actually a good medicine for those who are in stressful environment? 
This couple were big blessing to our mission trip. They helped us by washing our clothes and cleaning the house for us. Though they don't have formal school of Biblical Studies, they have more experience when it comes to evangelism.
This is the way we eat on some special occassions in Papua. They put banana leafs or some grass under it and put potatoes, pig meat, taro, banana or corn on top of them for us to eat. they also pile some herbs/veggies with the potatoes and meat. 
Us singing at ground breaking ceremony of the new church that they were about to build.
This was our time with one of the leader and we witnessed baptism and had a chance to perform a song in this church. 
It was also my first time to meet her in person and i was blessed to get to know her. It was a blessing to work with you Joy. Even though this was my first time working with you on the field and was our first time to meet in person, I just praise the Lord that there is someone who share the same ambitions (reaching out to the unreached people and people who are in needs) as i do.
This was my second time serving God with Daniel and I am blessed to work with him in both missions. Especially this last mission, we got closer and really broke down all the walls between us and God really worked through us. Daniel, I love you bro and I will sure miss serving with you. We pray that God will put us in another mission together.
On this mission, it is the first time for these two sisters to meet in person and they seem like two twins who were apart from each other forl long time and they finally reunited again. They are very close and i enjoyed watching them how they built their relationship in the mission ground where God appointed them to accomplish.
Like what i said, we ALWAYS FUNCTION AS A TEAM. I was blessed in many ways because of the way each members conributes their inputs to the team. Different perspectives but have same goals and it was a blessing for me. I believe blssing for all of us.
As you see Papa, he's holding my hand on this picture. That symbolize that there's a strong relationship between us. When you see some people doing this, either a very close friend had been gone for long time and they finally met, or their relationship as a family or just a friend is strong.
