Hoya Kerrii Flowers

I am proud of my hoya kerrii. It blooms non-stop. Keep it up, Hoya Kerrii!

Hoya Kerrii Blooms 2nd time

It was 28 June 2008 Saturday early morning around 7am, when I took a look at my hoya kerrii, its flower petals started to open up altogether at once. Without further delay, I took out my camera and started snapping. Immediately after a while the sky was drizzling with rain and not long after the rain started falling heavily.

Upon downloading all my pictures onto my computer, I was surprised to found out that one of the pictures that I took, shows a water droplet as shown in the above picture. Maybe this water droplet is the morning dew where it gathered around the flower petals and upon opening up its petals, the water droplet slip through and drop.

Hoya Kerrii continues Blooming

My Hoya Kerrii continues blooming after it blooms for the very 1st time which was about 1.5months.

Always Say "NO" to Suicide

The objective of this article is to help as many people out of the darkness as possible.

Firstly, let me tell you this. If you are feeling suicidal, you are not alone. Countless people out there have the same feelings.

Normally people want to kill themselves for various reasons:

1. Failure in love
2. Betrayal
3. Depression
4. Mental torture from family
5. Bad debts
6. Self-pressure due to failure in life
7. External-pressure from close ones
8. Unable to forgive someone or ownself
9. Suffering from fatal disease
10. Hatred etc…the list is long and never ending

If you are suicidal, it is not because you want to die. In fact your body does not want to die. You just want to get rid of the pain that is torturing your brain. It is because you are not able to cope with a problem in life. If you dare to die, then why not give yourself a challenge which is "dare to live on". If you think that dying can give you relief, that is wrong. It does not, because when you die, there is no more feelings of relief anymore. It cannot take away the pain. The pain will stick to the soul forever after.

Do you know what you will experience after you commit suicide. From a layman's point of view, there seems to be nothing. But for those in the energy world, they will know the consequences. Once a person commit suicide, for example jumping off the building, although the body terminates, the soul does not. The soul will turn to become a spirit that sticks to the location and has to repeat the act of jumping off the building once a day for the rest of their life as a spirit. Can you imagine how torturing it could be for one to face the same experience of committing suicide forever.

There is practically no chance at all for the person to go to heaven or enjoy anymore happiness for the rest of their life as a soul. Even if they can stop the suffering by finding another victim to commit suicide at the same location later, they will not have a good reincarnation. They will experience bad karmic sufferings for many lives and it will be too hard to find a good path.

Therefore, suicide is not an answer to sufferings. Human are born with sufferings. The baby cries first thing when he sees the world. Therefore, everyone will have the same fate of suffering. And it is a matter of whether we are able to cope with the problem or not. Whether we want to amplify the feelings or lighten the feelings. Even though some problems may be big, but if we are able to finetune our heads to think of it as small, it will be small. And remember, if you compare the magnitude of your problem with others, yours will only be a small one relatively.

If one is suicidal, here are some simple yet effective recommendations:

1. Talk about the problem to your family, friends, strangers, psychiatrist and councellors or email to leontobefriend@gmail.com Find time even though your schedule is busy. You must not keep it in the heart. Even if you are guilty and you feel sorry, please say it out.

2. No one can provide you with a solution. Even yourself cannot give a solution. Then just leave it with no solution. Just learn to accept it, live as long as you could and naturally forget about the hardship.

3. Do not rush into committing suicide yet. Postpone the date. Say give yourself another few more months, there could be many things that could have changed your opinion. One falls into suicide motive because he or she is not awaken temporary. And the good thing is there is still some conscious part that does not want to die yet.

4. Move away from the place where it could remind you of the sufferings. Just move away and leave everything behind. Go faraway and one day when you are feeling stronger, you can always return to face the truth.

5. Go out and find new friends. Let new people enter your life with new beginnings and new energy. There are always more opportunities out there. Don't give up!

6. When one is feeling down, their energy points in their body (7 chakras) are imbalance. The aura around them is weak which is also the reason why they are suffering from defeat and bad luck. These energy points could be strengthen. Some seek for crystal healing. While, simple exercises could help too. You will be amazed how jogging or hiking can help to energize ones chakras without them knowing. Undoubtedly, one could also seek meditation as an excellent cure to suicide syndrome. Meditation is not related to any religion.

Don't Quit Yourself

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, when the road you're trudging seems all uphill, when the funds are low and the debts are high, and you want to smile but you have to sigh, when care is pressing you down a bit - rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns. As everyone of us sometimes learns. And many a fellow turns about when he might have won had he stuck it out. Don't give up though the pace seems slow - you may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than it seems to a faint and faltering man; often the struggler has given up when he might have captured the victor's cup; and he learned too late when the night came down, how close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out - the silver tint of the clouds of doubt, and when you never can tell how close you are, it may be near when it seems afar; so stick to the fight when you're hardest hit - it's when things seem worst, you must not quit.

Hoya Flower Blooming

After growing for almost 1 year, my hoya kerrii plant has started to grow flower buds. I was overjoyed when the moment I saw a small stick growing out from the stem.

The flower buds took around 1 month to form into bigger buds before the flowers bloom.


The flowers takes 2 days to full bloom. The flowers smell milky.

It is worth to know that the flower shape is typical of hoya plants. Small, flat, star-shaped individual flowers are joined like ribs of an open umbrella to form a cluster that is attached to a spur (single stem) called the peduncle.

Each small flower is made up of two stars, one on top of the other. The so called bottom star (corolla) is larger in size than the upper centered star which is termed the 'corona'. Hoya kerrii has whitish corolla's and reddish corona's. The flowers are very beautiful, waxy, tough and long lasting. All hoya flowers have wonderful fragrances.


I have grown this original hoya kerrii into 3 pots.

I was not able to find out the actual name of this type of hoya plant that I have bought. This hoya plant also originates from Thailand.

The flowers keep blooming non-stop as there are alot of flower buds on the plant.

This is another hoya plant, Hoya Carnosa. This plant is a climbing or trailing perennial of the milkweed family. Trailing stems will climb counterclockwise around wire or other thin trellis-like structures. Stems will also trail from hanging baskets. Its leaves usually are creamy white margins and sometimes a pink tinge.
