MrsD Garden: Update

When my Mom bought me my very first plant, Kalachuchi (Name: Theon), I got addicted to planting ever since. I tried my luck to plant a few edible, flower bearing and display plants. I also tried planting from seeds, fully grown and straight from vegetable seeds (I just dried it). And because of my astonishment that I grew several plants without drowning them or drying them, I became enthusiastic to brag about my gardening skills to my family and friends. I even influenced some of my friends to plant! My family on the other hand, gave me some of their plants.

Last April, my Basil, Green bell pepper and Milflores plant died because I didn't water them for a week due to my recent hospitalization. I tried to revive my Basil because its roots is still alive but I ran out of patience to wait. #sad

Now, my little garden is growing. I have my first baby, Theon (Kalachuchi), Morning Glory, Okra, Snake Plant, Welcome plant, two cactus and succulents.

Then I came across this blog where she talks about Carnivorous plants and where to get them. I visited their site Pitcher Plant Farm. The Pitcher Plant Farm was located at Malaybalay, Bukidnon - owned by a German, Mr. Volker Heinrich. He specializes in growing different kinds of carnivorous plants - Pitcher plants, Sundews, Butterworth, Bladderworth, Stylidium and the famous Venus Flytrap.

 When I saw the Venus Flytrap, I felt the connection! HAHAHA! I fell in love with it instantly!!! Its so beautiful and wild. So vicious but too pretty. Okay my excitement can't get enough of me! I clicked buy and checked out! Yey!!! I have an exotic plant coming in next week :)

And as I read how to grow this beauty, it states that it is very delicate and not easy to grow so wish me luck!

Marriage 101: Fights - Do we have to tell others?

Ali and I are still new to being a married couple. We had several fights here and there, and were not used to telling other people our problems because we want to resolve it on our own.

Last weekend, we had a huge fight and we had to cancel our social events to fix our problem, compromise and reconcile. I am a little bit of guilty though because when my relatives asks me "why didn't you come? Nagtatampo na si Tito mo" I don't want to blurt to everyone that were having a problem and were trying to settle it. I am a very private person when it comes to my problems. I know, sometimes you have to seek help so it will not be a solo burden. But do I really need to tell everyone that we have a problem? I mean its for us to solve anyway. Right?

English Bulldog talk

I was having a stressful night because of my commute on the way to Blake's for my parents' wedding anniversary dinner. We had a scrumptious dinner, we talked about how everyone was doing, jokes, and my husband and dad's never ending car talks. We moved to our parent's house for dessert. that's when my husband blurted out: "My officemate is selling English Bulldog for only Php15,000!!!" So we all reacted: WEH!!! and I'm like: Sana di mo na bnrought up kasi I know you won't allow me to buy one kasi we live in a condo and no one will take care of it. Huhubels! and then my husband changed the topic. Okaaaaaaayy...
A brief background: I am a dog lover!!! and my husband knows that I super super wish to have one ever since. I like the english bulldog because its extremely cute, lazy and can grow like a pig. HAHAHA! That makes it cute btw. So I always ask my husband to bring me to Tiendesitas for a free realness (viewing and touching) of EBulldog. Its also so expensive -- tumataginting na 45K!!! Anyway...

On our way home, Ali brought the English bulldog topic again and I told him how I felt (na sana he didn't brought it up nalang bla bla) then he said:
You know, I would love to buy you one kasi it will bring you extreme happiness lalo na sa akin kasi I know you'll love it. Kaya nga nagssource ako eh, kaya lang I want you to understand na hindi pa pwede kasi nasa condo tayo and walang maiiwan sa kanya, sa liit ng condo, di naman tayo pwede maglagay ng cage nya dun and also imagine the smell of his poops. Don't worry, if nakalipat na tayo yun ang unang una kong ibibigay sayo. 

Explanation SOLD!!! I love how my husband put my happiness in his priorities and I'm very thankful for his way of making me understand things. I am blessed because God gave me someone whos the exact opposite of me so we can exchange our different views and learn from each other.

Lalala...

New beginnings

The negativity, the unprofessionalism, the backstabbing, the unwanted relationship --- I had to end it all. Though I still miss my previous work, I had to move forward. I am very lucky to be accepted in one of the leading Online Travel Agencies in Asia. I'm still on training and I managed to go to work 1 hour before. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? Oo, ako to si Liah at hindi ito panaginip!

Anyway, I am really working hard to sustain my punctuality nowadays. Though I got late at my gardening workshop last Saturday, I still managed to go to work very early for 7 days now. YEHEY!  I'm so proud of myself! And I kinda like it. Fourteen more days to go so I can make it a habit. And then I'll be influencing my husband as well.

I'm trying to get my mojo back because I'm lazy as hell, because I'm still learning and not busy at work.
