to delete it because it's showing up when you try to log in. I tried deleting
cache & history in my Chrome browser and nothing helped. Then I figured it out.
Hope this helps someone out there who is in panic mode right now coz you logged
in a shared computer like me, lol! If it does, be sure to hit any ad you see on
my blog, it sends a cent or two to my account --- and you're welcome! :-) Follow these steps: 1) Highlight the username or id you want to remove. Do not click
it. Just hover your mouse over it until it is highlighted.

I had my wedding at St Peregrine Church, Tunasan, Muntinlupa on June 4, 2016. I'm writing about the details to help future brides & grooms who want to hear feedback about suppliers around the area and get tips on how to have a stylish wedding on a budget.<br />

First, the AVP. I just want to show you our AVP (Audio-Visual Presentation) and growing-up pictures and I'm also blogging about it for safe-keeping by uploading it online. The AVP is something I did and which you can also do on your own (or have a family member do it for you) as it costs about Php 5,000 average to make one (so Php 15,000 worth was saved doing this for the three AVP's). You can download <a href="http://windows-movie-maker-vista.en.softonic.com/download" target="_blank">Movie Maker</a> or <a href="http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/download/trials/vegaspro" target="_blank">Sony Vegas</a> to create your own wedding AVP for free. I used Sony Vegas (trial) and if you aren't bothered by the Sony logo that appears in the video, (which is just really tiny), then you could easily save 15k here which you can use to spend on other things.<br />
<br />
This is our Love Story captured in videos and photos.<br />

<br />
Church: St Peregrine de Laziosi, Tunasan, Muntinlupa.<br />
<br />
This church is beautiful inside with fire trees outside, but it's not air-conditioned. There are big fans though everywhere. You have the option to have the mass in either Tagalog or English. I just didn't like that they would publish your full address, mother's name and other sensitive information on their website. Perhaps they can remove your contact details and just stick to your name and partial address (not the exact address with unit number ) as these are sensitive information which can be used against you by web criminals.<br />
Fee: Php 15,000<br />
You can pay a reservation fee of 2,500 and the remaining must be paid within a month before the wedding date. This includes the pre-cana seminar fee, flowers (I didn't take this as I chose my own flower supplier), candles, ostia, wine & choir.<br />
Choir: Bryan Minstrels.<br />
They're very good! While I was walking down the aisle, I thought it was an mp3, but the guests said it was someone from the choir singing beautifully. I don't remember the song though... but I give them 5 stars!<br />
Pre-Cana Seminar: It was just one Saturday. It was fine, but there was one facilitator (an old lady) who came across as a bit disrespectful or a bit rude to the couples . I'm trying my best to be as nice in this review as possible so I won't go into details so as not to ruin anyone's day :-).<br />
Family Planning Seminar: The facilitators are good and respectful. It's informative even for couples who already have a child/children like us.<br />
The staff/manangs: You have to understand they don't get paid for this, they are church volunteers, so kudos to them. I would just appreciate it if they just waited at least 2 minutes for my other entourage so they can join. Their car was just right behind mine and my neice, Kylie cried because it's her first time to be a flower girl and didn't get to march. It was our bad, because we were 5 minutes late and they VERY STRICT on time, they don't care about your wedding day sentiments, so be very early.<br />

I got a discounted price because I attended the wedding fair at SM Aura. So for Php 20,000 this includes the whole church set up, entourage & bride's bouquet, flower for the car (though the bridal car already has it's own flowers), boutonnieres, fans with flowers for the ninangs, flower baskets (with petals) and headdresses for the flower girls (but we have our own flower headdresses) and flower wand for my little daughter as she was the one who walked me down the aisle. The bridal bouquet could be prettier if they had my request for my favorite flowers hydrangeas, but I'm not complaining as they made up in other areas like in the church styling. Everyone was impressed by how they made the church really beautiful.<br />
They were on time, their staff were nice and friendly. They know how to satisfy a customer. No wonder they always win in wedding fairs. Just look at how they made my wedding beautiful with cherry blossoms:<br />

Pleasant staff, clean, nice car. It was just a white Vios, but they dressed it up and it was pretty cute with a "happily every after" tag at the bumper with our names on it. They were early, and they even had water and snacks inside the car for us. I never got to thank them enough though. I was too stressed that day but the driver and one of their staff just helped me relax a bit in the car. They say you don't really remember what people say to you, but just how they made you feel... and it was just that. I don't remember what they said but they were such nice people who made an effort to personalize the car for us and made my day extra special. Then, they'd send you your pictures via Facebook (unfortunately, I didn't get to see it until months after because it was in my filtered messages). Anyway, their service is like chicharon on top of your favorite pancit! Good job guys! Below are the pictures:<br />

The only thing I regret is not publishing sooner so I can remember all the good things I have to say to them. The owner, Ma'am Gina was so pleasant and calm to talk to. She even purchased some new furniture to complete my theme. The food was delicious and the place, they turned it into something amazing! There were other parts in my wedding that I wish went differently, but this one, oh boy we got this one right! You can see they put a bit of their heart into styling it. I could never thank them enough.<br />
Only downside I experience was one of their hosts who was rude (it was supposedly part of the whole package). But he was late and also requested to reschedule our meeting twice and used profanity on me. So I asked Ms Gina to take him out of our deal. Thank goodness I forgot his name. If I include him to my rating with Quidos, it's definitely going down, but I don't think it will be fair because he is just contractor at Quido's and Ms Gina and her team went all out in making sure everything is taken cared of. Anyway, here are some pictures:<br />

Nadine was referred to me by a friend and I booked her on the last minute because I was so disappointed by the host that was supposed to be included in my package with the reception. She was like sent from above and it feels like I've known for so long. She is a warm & vibrant person and it's no wonder her calendar is always full. I'm just very lucky to have a spot in her very busy schedule. Despite this, she would make you feel like you are her only client. She didn't just host it, she planned the whole program! I am very thankful to her coz I didn't have a wedding planner and for her to plan the whole reception program was like half of my worries scraped off my plate.<br />
<br />
Nadine does voice-over for commercials and hosts not just weddings, baby showers, company events among many others. One of the events she hosted was Bossing/Vic Sotto and Pauline Luna's baby shower: http://scenesfromnadine.com/pauleen-luna-baby-shower/<br />

I'm not exactly the type who would obsess on a wedding gown as I don't believe on spending on something I'd only be wearing once. My sister and I went to Divisoria to get one for this. The pin for the flower brooch at the back was missing and didn't notice until I'm at home, but for it's worth, it was beautiful and hides my mommy pouch.<br />

I just had the skirts made and let my bridesmaids buy their own blouses of their choice as long as it's white. It's made of blue satin with grey tulle. It turned out pretty nice. The flower girl gowns weren't exactly what I hope it would be, but still it's cute when worn by the flower girls. I give them 4 stars because for it's value, it was rather good, but the customer service sucks. I literally had to chase them to follow up. They don't exactly stick to date agreed and was ready for pick up only within a week before the wedding. It was rather quite stressful. My suggestion is if you would go there and they ask for the date, give them a false date that's about 1 month earlier than your real wedding date.<br />

Perfect Grey isn't exactly cheap. We only had a cheaper rate because we just booked the basic package without AVP, same-day edit nor pre-nup pictorial. We only went for the pictures and with two photographers. There will be at least 3 of them , one would be the assistant to carry the equipment. The pictures can speak for themselves, they are beautiful. Our photographer was Jasper Jouse and his assistant photographer then, James Valenzuela. They are fun to work with and the shots are lovely. Furthermore, for some wedding photographers, the prints come much later like a month or even longer, but for Perfect Grey they came within a week. I was so surprised! The pictures came in a beautiful wooden box.<br />

I think Jasper has since started his own photography business. If you would like to check him out, this is his Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/josuejasper. The impression Jasper and his team left on me (whether or not they are from Perfect Grey) is that they are a crazy bunch. Can crack a smile on a tensed, shy and stressed out bride. You can see they love what they do, especially Jasper, and he is really good at it.<br />

We didn't have the videos edited so I can't really say how it would turn out, maybe 5 stars if we went with them to see the output. But I'm giving the stars, for price value, professionalism and the quality of the videos I've seen. He also uses unique soundtracks which I love they're kind of cheerful.<br />

I found Addy by joining a make-up artist group in the Philippines via Facebook. I posted my budget range and then I let them send me a bid and portfolio. This way I could get to choose the best and most affordable. Just be aware that some may have a cheaper fee but the service isn't good so best to still do a background check of the reviews of the ones you shortlisted. Addy was among those 3 of the best, but she wasn't my first choice initially because she was outbid by someone with a lower fee. However, two months before the wedding, when I checked in my initial choice, it turns out she has an appointment with ABS-CBN for a shoot with Bella Padilla. I was happy for her and wouldn't take it against her to take this break that came to her. Good thing, I still have 2 more. The second one, had a bit of an attitude. She was late in replying to my messages and I didn't like her vibe so I just made up an excuse to not book her. Finally, as luck would have it, Addy still has a lot. Please note that she is always fully booked so if you want to book her, you have to do it months in advance.<br />
<br />
Addy has great attitude, a real pro and is on time. Even after the wedding, my guests and entourage are still asking me about her for their events because she was really good at what she does. The way she does her make-up is just right. I attended a wedding once where I was a bridesmaid and I felt I looked like a drag queen but I couldn't complain to lessen the stress of the bride. Totally not the case with Addy, I felt like a beauty queen and all my bridesmaids looked amazing! You can see it in the picture above. I was so grateful to her I made her a youtube video showing how she works:<br />

We only had 2 choices for the hotel, Bellevue Manila or Crimson Hotel. After checking out both hotels, we went with Crimson Hotel. The price is just about the same, but Crimson Hotel is the obvious choice between the two. It's beautiful and contemporary, whereas during the time we went to visit Bellevue Manila, I was disappointed. Their elevators looked old, shaky and cheap. It was also hard to get a ride in the elevator in Bellevue as it's always full. We also got complimentary drinks at Crimson Hotel to the bar, but as with the free breakfast, because of the schedule we didn't get to use our stubs. Perhaps next time on our anniversary?<br />
<br />
Below is a picture of the 1 bedroom suite taken from their website. This is the same room we booked and a picture of the groom in the lobby.<br />

The invitations were affordable and really beautiful, however, I contacted them 6 months before the wedding and yet they only delivered it 2 weeks before my wedding. It was very stressful following up with them. They were apologetic and gave us extra 20 pieces complimentary (appreciated but unnecessary as we only have 100 guests and the 30 pcs invitation I ordered was more than enough). I gave them a good feedback in their Facebook page despite this. Today, I'm only giving them 3 stars because they also did the same thing to a friend I referred and I was embarrassed because the bride had to go through the same stress I went through. Apparently, even if you order 6 months in advance they would only do it around a month before your wedding. They don't understand that you still have to mail them out and get a response from guests. I do not recommend this supplier.<br />
<br />
As for the give-away and souvenirs, to save some money you can just ask a close family member to shoulder it for you. In our case, we are thankful to my sister-in-law, Ate Nice who bought this for us from Davao.<br />

Phoebe is our favorite baker. She's from Quezon City but since she's been doing the cakes for every event or party in our family, there's just no other choice but her. For our wedding though she didn't bake our cake because it was part of the reception package. She makes the best baked goodies and one of a kind cakes! You should check her IG page too: phoebebakescakes. She has always amazed us no matter what the occasion is. You would also love her warm smile. She knows how to take care of her clients.<br />

So there you go. I have been so busy that this blog had been sitting in my draft for two and a half years! Please note that the price here may have changed since my wedding was in 2016. I still hope though that this helps future brides and grooms who are planning a stylish wedding in Muntinlupa without having to break the million dollar mark. Cheers!<br />

This is like a shoe cover which one puts on one's shoes so that the floor wouldn't get dirty. This is commonly used in classrooms to make cleaning easier. I made one for my little girl today. It was easy to make. Just cut a piece for the sole and another for upper part of the shoe, sew them together. Then cut a hole and put a garter. Decorate however you want. Tada! :)<br />

She's just a dog, but she doesn't question my decisions and how I make them. She doesn't shout at me, doesn't hurt me. Doesn't think I'm a bitch or that I'm stupid. To her, I was wonderful and I didn't have to prove myself to her to gain her love and her trust.<br />

She would patiently wait for me and understood that I also have a human family that needs my time and energy to be taken cared of. She didn't mind it. She'll wait for me and still think I'm the best.<br />

I have not done enough for her for all the love she gave me.<br />

But if you do, at least try to sound happy about it until you really do feel happy! There's scientific evidence about how even pretending to smile causes happy feelings.<br />
<br />
Below are my top 10 happy sad songs whose lyrics may quite reflect how you feel on a Monday. You may feel upbeat but if you carefully read between the lines, the topics are quite sad ranging from a broken heart, despondency, apathy and loneliness. Nonetheless, these songs are beautiful and full of imagery which makes some of them a bit poetic. Really lovely, you will love the tune of each one.<br />

<span style="font-size: small; text-align: start;">Sometimes as humans we do things out of hurt which we don't really mean. This movie mirrors my belief that people are not inherently bad. And if only we get to know others more, we wouldn't really want for harm to come to them. It's a lovely movie and I'm glad Disney did a take on her character -- and so it seems our fairy tale books would be one villain less and I hope that it'd be the same in real life for everybody.</span><span style="font-size: small; text-align: start;">Thank you Bryan for taking me to watch this movie today. :-)</span></td></tr>

It's heart breaking to see, but this is how it is with lavender growing in the Philippines. From close to 100 seedlings, and now down to four today. The picture below was taken a week ago and two more died since then:<br />

The ones that survived are the French lavenders. But it is still very hard to cultivate due to the high level of humidity and rains that we get.<br />
<br />
My small experiment comes to an end and I therefore conclude that True Lavender <i>(Lavandula angustifloia)</i> will not thrive in the Philippines. However, French Lavender (<i>Lavandula dentata) </i>can thrive provided that you don't over water it. They also grow pretty easily through cuttings.<br />
<br />
I have yet to plant more French lavenders and let's see how things will turn out. For now, while I'm nursing my lavender hearth ache, I'm moving on to new things. My next project is this: <br />

I was just looking for short films on mermaids that I can show my daughter, but what I stumbled upon is a documentary by Animal Planet on Mermaids: The Body Found (2012) and Mermaids: The New Evidence (2013).
<br />

<br />
<br />
I believe that there are some parts here that may have been the source of inspiration for the new TV series by ABS-CBN: Dyesebel. In one episode it shows a coral which was in a form of a spear used to kill a fisherman. In one of the videos from Mermaids: The Body Found there were fishermen in the Baltic Sea and in other parts of the world who noticed how some fishes and whales have spears in their bodies.<br />

<br />
<br />
If you ask me if there are evidences, I believe there are---it's just not enough yet. In our Evolutionary Biology class in college we talked about how man evolved and I must say that the evidences presented are plausible.<br />
<br />
<br />
You shouldn't believe everything you see on youtube, but there are some worth thinking about. Below is the video of a boy who found a mermaid washed ashore. This was also part of the documentary by Animal Planet. The scientist who exposed the truth about mermaids, Dr. Paul Robertson, a marine biologist, was also part of the investigating team who studied what the Navy Team recovered the body found by the boy that day.<br />

I don't think that this is a hoax. What I keep thinking about though is what Dr. Paul Robertson revealed about how Sonar Testing possibly kills them together with other sea creatures such as dolphins and whales. I think they should put a stop to this sonar testing. Of course, the global warming which causes an increase in the temperature of our seas possibly affects them too in the same way that we are affected by it. Yesterday was Earth Day, this should remind us to protect the Earth because it's not exclusive to us humans, we share it with plants and animals such birds and beasts of the earth, creatures the seas -- and mermaids too.
One day, I believe when all the evidences pile up, they will finally stop becoming mythical creatures.

I read somewhere they're lucky and if you fold 1000 of them your wish will come true within a year. While waiting for my wish to come true I scourged the web for ideas and came up with my Top 10 Crafty Things You Can Do Paper Cranes<b>:</b><br />

6) A Gift.<br />
<br />
In Japan they make ideal wedding gifts as they mean luck for the newly weds especially if it's the father of the bride who folded them. In some countries they are given as gifts to ill patients to wish them good health and fast healing. But it doesn't mean you can only give them to sick loved ones, even if they're not sick you can also give it to them so they can make a wish for themselves.<br />

9) Mobile<br />

It's one of the most common things people do with with paper cranes most especially if you can't fold 1000 of them. You only need a few, some sticks and a ribbon and your little one can enjoy a crafty and handmade mobile for their nursery.<br />

10) Curtains.<b> </b><br />

Finally, after folding 1000 paper cranes I decided on hanging them by the window as curtains. Below are the paper cranes which hangs in our playroom. It's made out of all kinds of paper and used post its from the office.<br />

It is pretty scary seeing them turn brown one after the other. And it's not just the ones that I put in full shade that are dying, even the ones in partial shade. But if I'll be successful growing them from cuttings, I should be able to grow back the same number of lavender I lost.<br />
<br />
I know that rain during summer will definitely kill them but I left them in the rain when it rained last month. But if I didn't how will I know for myself?<br />
<br />
Anyway, here's how you can propagate lavender from cuttings in case you decide to buy a mature plant and not start them from seeds:<br />
<br />
1) Cut a stem as close to the main branch as possible. Use a very sharp pair of scissors or secateurs.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
2) Peel the bottom part around 2 inches from the base.<br />

3) Pop it in some well draining soil.</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Water them heavily at the base and keep them moist for a few weeks. At around a month, water them lightly as you would any lavender plant. It wouldn't hurt to fertilize at around a month. I use Manusol Growth Fertilizer 30-10-10 to encourage strong growth of leaves, roots and stem. I use a tablespoon of this fertilizer for 8 liters of water. I usually fertilize once a month or every other month depending on the state of the plants.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I did this three days ago and my cutting is still alive. I will let you know how it'll all go in my next update in a month.</div>

One of my two french lavenders died. I tried transplanting them to a bigger pot because they've grown so big. I gave one a bit of a shake to loosen the roots as advised by my online research on how to transplant lavenders...and it didn't like it.<br />
<br />
<b>Lesson #8.</b> When transplanting lavender, take it as is and don't attempt to loosen the roots because they are super sensitive they'll die.<br />

<br />
It was a candy jar I broke.<br />
<br />
I was dragged<br />
Dumped where the dog sleeps<br />
And then the lashes came...<br />
I counted them to dull the pain.<br />
<br />
One..two...six...sixteen!<br />
Why doesn't it stop?<br />
Twenty-two.. .thirty....<br />
<br />
My back is raw and my body is shaking.<br />
My shirt clings to the oozing flesh on my back.<br />
I want to rip it off.<br />
Please make my heart stop beating.<br />
<br />
<i>She is my world--my one and only.</i><br />
<i>How can she hurt me like this?</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>I'm just a child and my hands are still tiny </i><br />
<i>To get a good grip of big things like jars.</i><br />
<br />
He is my defender<br />
My knight-in-shining armor.<br />
The heavy buckle of his belt crosses my cheek<br />
Something tastes like the metal lid of our salt shaker.<br />
<br />
<i>What is wrong with me?</i><br />
<i>Why am I like this?</i><br />
<br />
My Mona Lisa stops him to say not on the face<br />
I'm so sorry...little arms reaching for a hug<br />
For a blanket of protection<br />
<br />
<i>But some things never come.</i><br />
<br />
In between the lashes<br />
A little heart was dreaming<br />
To be ever so tiny no one could see me<br />
Oh, I'm a dust in the afternoon sun!<br />
<br />
<i>Some wishes never come true.</i><br />
<br />
She lets him have a go<br />
His hands--the broom--a stick--the thin black belt!<br />
A shoe across my face<br />
On my fifteenth birthday.<br />
<br />
The days roll past into months<br />
And years into faded photographs of decades past<br />
I try to live my life<br />
But something's not quite right .<br />
<br />
<i>How can he hurt me like this?</i><br />
<i>He is my world my one and only.</i><br />
<br />
I will wait.<br />
I will strive.<br />
I cannot fail...<br />
<br />
<i>What is wrong with me</i><br />
<i>Why am I like this?</i><br />
<br />
I need some sweets<br />
I need a fix.<br />
<br />
<i>It got broken when my hands were still tiny</i><br />
<i>To get a good grip of big things like jars.</i><br />

The answer was an obvious yes, but whether they will thrive as perennials, is another tough question that I'm facing as the months go by.<br />
<br />
I started with 70 seedlings. After Typhoon Yolanda and a few rainstorms, it was down to 54 last month.Today there's only 42 left (2 dentata and 40 angustifolia varieties). More died since I stopped running like crazy outside to put an umbrella over them whenever it's raining or moving them over to a shady part of the garden when it gets too hot. I was thinking that if I'll be realistic about this experiment then I should stop doing that. I left a few in the shade though just in case...<br />
<br />
Today, the temperature reads 34 degrees Celsius (92 degrees Fahrenheit) with 52% humidity rate in Manila. And this weather is just wicked even for the other plants, my lawn is brown and the other plants are also dying from the intense heat and humidity. The good news is,the ones that survived are healthy and branching out. These are the True Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia):<br />

Below are the French Lavender which I bought from SM Makati Supermarket in December. They're so much bigger now I need to transfer them to a bigger pot:<br />

<br />
From my research, seasoned gardeners recommend French Lavender in the tropics because they are more tolerant to the extreme heat, humidity and rain. Though if there's a storm, I would still bring them inside because as with any lavender, wet roots kill them. Just look at the ones below:<br />
<br />

<br />
Above are the ones which I notice that even after two days the soil around them is still wet unlike the other plants.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>What I learned so far are these:</b><br />
1) Water only every 2-3 days.<br />
2) Use a water sprayer and water them lightly at the base. Never over water or else they'll die.I can't highlight this enough.<br />
3) Water early in the morning to give their roots a chance to dry throughout the day. Never in the late afternoon or evening If you skipped it, then just water the next morning.<br />
4) The soil should have good drainage. I bought Folia Tropica potting mix from Ace Hardware. It has a good mix of sand, compost and coconut coir. I had the mistake of using leftover seed growing mix in the past and the ones I planted with those died because the mix is designed to retain water which is important for seeds to germinate but causes root rot for lavender.<br />
5) Put some pebbles at the bottom of the pot before putting soil for better drainage.<br />
6) Fertilize at least once a month.<br />
7) Cut dead leaves as close to the stem as possible because that's where new leaves/branches sprout.<br />
<br />
I only have a few plants left than when I started but if you consider the leaves and the branches, I actually have more. From what I read, they aren't fully mature until about a year so I have a few more months left to wait and hopefully on my next update they're starting to bloom.<br />
<br />
Thank you for all your messages and sorry if I am not able to respond sooner than I wish. If you have started growing them (in the Philippines) please share your experience with me. Perhaps we can find a way to make this lavender growing work. If not, I still think it's worth knowing first hand.<br />
<br />

Can lavender grow in the tropics? Will it grow in the Philippines? Yes it most certainly can! For I have been asking myself the same question since September and been researching as much as I could on the web about it. There is a lot of information available about growing it but none about growing lavender specifically in the Philippines.<br />
<br />
Here in Manila, it is something you wouldn't find in your neighbor's garden. According to the website on Philippine Alternative Medicine, it isn't native to us and was introduced to the Philippines though it doesn't say how. As such for the benefit of those not familiar with it let me share with you what I found in Wikipedia: lavender belongs to the genus <i>Lavandula </i>of
the mint family. This probably accounts for it's strong fragrance. It is an herb usually with purple
flowers (though there are also yellow, white, pink and green varieties) and are used
in
perfumes, oils, soaps, shampoo and even in detergents (like in these <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KV1JmreSeTs">Bonux</a> and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9lrnQXP4PM">Surf</a> TV ads) due to its fragrance. If you want to know more about this plant you can Google it for more info as I'm going to limit the information here related to growing lavender in the Philippines.</div>
<br />
<span style="text-align: justify;">So I took the initiative and started my own experiment to see how they will thrive here in Manila. You may find updates as the months go by on my little lavender growing experiment by clicking on the <a href="http://www.purpleowyn.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">'Home'</a> or '</span><a href="http://www.purpleowyn.blogspot.com/p/tropical-gardening.html#.U1TdgVWSyNY" style="text-align: justify;" target="_blank">Gardening</a><span style="text-align: justify;">' tabs at the top of this page.</span><br />
<br />
Below is my simple three-step plan:<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Step 1. Research. </span></h2>
<b><br /></b>
Why do people always want what they can't have? My research leads to the conclusion that I'm one of those people. But as the The Little Prince said in Antoine de Saint
Exupery's famous novel, what makes a desert beautiful is that it hides a
well somewhere. And I am determined to find that well. <br />
<br />
If you look at the map below which I found in Wikipedia, it will show you areas where lavender grows. Look for the green regions representing the temperate regions like France, Canada, North America, Spain, and the southern part of Australia among others. <br />

As
you can see, the Philippines is on the tropics where it's either sunny
or rainy. This lavender flower that I'm trying to grow loves the cool climate with
a little bit of sun and hates getting wet. So it's already a challenge to begin with, but I'm not backing down on opportunity it could present. <br />
<br />
There's really very little I could find on the web about growing lavender locally. Mostly people want to grow them, but couldn't find how. There were a few who saw lavender being sold at Quezon City Circle and some at SM Supermarket. Further digging around led me to sites and people who seem to have grown lavender successfully in the Philippines. <br />
<br />
1. Yahoo Answers Philippines shows that <a href="http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20081109024121AAnXIxJ">someone was able to grow them</a> 5 years ago but they wouldn't bloom. It's just all leaves.<br />
<br />
2. In a <a href="http://www.stuartxchange.com/Lavandula.html">website about Philippine Alternative Medicine</a>, it says it's cultivated and grows in Baguio.<br />
<br />
3. <a href="http://www.ilogmaria.com/">Ilog Maria Honeybee Farm</a> in Silang, Cavite. In English "ilog" means river and Maria is the same as Mary. They're the biggest honey farm in the country. I don't exactly remember which blog was it that mentioned Ilog Maria but there was a <a href="http://www.ilogmaria.com/aboutus/their-buzz/exec-gave-up/">write up about them</a> in the Philippine Daily Inquirer in 2002. According to reviews they make one of the best lavender and honey soap. Then I saw a picture of a lavender that grows in their farm. As per the person who uploaded this picture saying it was taken at Ilog Maria, it seems genuine lavender:<br />

They are selling their lavender for PHP 150 per pot and when I asked them how much they charge for delivery to Muntinlupa, it's PHP 400. So if you want to save some money and just want to buy a few pots, I suggest you go to their shop. Below is their contact information:<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So to answer the question on whether lavender can grow in the Philippines? The answer is YES! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Please see my youtube video below so you can see how well my baby lavender are growing. I grew them from seeds on 20th of October. I bought specialty seeds at SM Supermarket which says: <a href="http://ramgoseeds.com/products.do?item_id=32229">5 in 1 Herb Italia </a></span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://ramgoseeds.com/products.do?item_id=32229"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">from Ramgo </span></span>.</a> It has Parsley, Chives, Basil,Dill, Lavender and even comes with free Rocket Aragula seeds.</span></span><br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
So what do you need to start growing lavender?<br />
<br />
Lavender Seeds<br />
Soil<br />
Paper Cups with punched holes at the bottom<br />
Pots<br />
Water Sprayer<br />
Patience<br />
Slow Release Fertilizer (only after 3-4 set of true leaves has emerged) <br />
<br />
I used ordinary garden soil with a bit of rice and coconut husk to improve drainage. Since the seeds are so tiny, I made sure that the seeds weren't planted too deep just around half a centimeter or 5 mm. Then I planted them in paper cups and placed them on my window sill. I also put anti-ant chalk around the base of the cups to protect it from ants and other insects. It's been raining like crazy so I kept them safe from rain and direct sunlight since it's really hot in the tropics during the day. I lightly sprayed it with water when needed. It took three weeks before the first few seeds germinate.<br />
<br />
After one month I had about 20 seeds germinate from around 100 seeds that I sowed. After 40 days I have more than 70! This morning, I was surprised to see a few more seeds that just sprouted. I guess it's also because I planted them now that it's a bit colder but I doubt they will grow as well if you plant them during the hot season from March-May.<br />
<br />
I had to transfer the ones with true set of leaves to a bigger pot but since I didn't have enough soil nor pot I put around 4 in a pot and will transplant them again once they grow bigger. It's okay as long as the spacing is at least 2-3 inches. But you need to transfer them once they grow bigger, otherwise their roots will get all tangled up and it will be hard for you to transplant. You also need to make sure that it's not too crowded to allow for better air circulation. Don't water them unless you see that the soil is really dry because while they need water the plants hate it when their roots are wet. I sprayed slow release fertilizer for the plants that have 3 or 4 sets of leaves just to encourage new growth.<br />
<br />
During the Typhoon Haiyan (which the strongest Typhoon ever recorded) I put them all inside. Last night it started to rain again at around 11 PM and I run down the stairs like crazy (I bet waking up the entire barangay!) because I forgot to put my baby lavender under the window sill where it's protected from heavy rains. This morning I put them out again under the sun for a bit of sun-bathing. :-)<br />
<br />
<h2>
<span style="font-size: large;">Step 3. Dream big and start a farm</span></h2>
<span style="font-size: small;">Right now, I am still in the first part of Step 3, which is dreaming big. This post about growing lavender in the Philippines is one my life dreams. I hope you get inspired by it and learned something. Please feel free to comment or ask a question if you need clarification. Right now, it's 1:07 AM and it's time to dream more dreams. Wish me luck!</span><br />

We knew he was coming. The Angel of Death named Haiyan or Yolanda in the Philippines. It was like an apocalypse saying "in the hours to come I will sweep upon your land and reap souls by the thousands."<br />
<br />
Who could prepare? Nobody. Nothing could prepare us for this. Everyone in Samar and Leyte lost someone they knew.<br />
<br />
Yet, it seems like we've been given a warning before. I saw a video on Youtube of a man and another of a woman who both
predicted that this would happen. Below is a video from four years back
of a prediction made by Cindy Jacobs.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
And this is another video which I just saw today of an Indian prophet named Sadhu who predicted the tragedy in Samar and Leyte:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/zoyZ76oHs04?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
<br />
<br />
God spoke to them to warn us of this tragedy and also to
give hope that after this an anointing of our land would follow. Whether
or not this is true, all I can say to God is this---I don't understand
why, but I have faith and trust in Your plans for my beloved country.<br />
<br />

<br />
As I prepare a compilation of video clips and images that struck me I can't help but cry. Here I am in the comfort of my home, watching my baby play. I am safe and my family was spared, but that doesn't mean that we don't share their pain. The tragedy is felt everywhere in the Philippines and the whole world.<br />
<br />
There was a picture of a father carrying the body of his lifeless daughter, another is a woman on her knees crying and dead bodies were piled everywhere. There were images of newly orphaned kids wet and crying and in another photo-- a boy with a wounded face amidst debris they once dearly called home.<br />
<br />
Yesterday I heard Susan Boyle's version of You'll Never Walk Alone and in my mind I saw the pictures of survivors of the typhoon and the overwhelming help we got from all over the world. Kindly see the video below that I created and uploaded on Youtube as a tribute to the victims of Typhoon Haiyan/Yolanda and to the International Community who came to our aid. You'll see pictures of survival, courage and faith in God. This is a story of humanity and that how different we may seem we are one. We breath the same air, we see the same stars at night and feel the same kind of joy and pain.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
I made this so that when we get through it all we will feel proud at recalling how we survived this nightmare. At the same time for all the Filipinos to remember that in our time of
need, our brothers and sisters from different countries helped us and
was with us on our grieving. <br />

<br />
I was just like you. <br />
<br />
Like Lexi, I was fiesty and rebellious. Brutally honest and crazy like Nina. After all I was just like Kaye --young and carefree. I used to put on make-up while working and had a mirror on my monitor (like Jane). I was unsure on which path to take (Gerwin, at one time). But I tried my best to be strong (Ayie) for my dreams because I couldn't depend on anyone but myself (Dax) until I decided to give my all (Rommel) and tame myself (Cecil). <br />
<br />
I digged around my old blogs and now I find myself meeting my self seven years ago. I must have been one tough employee to manage:<br />

Purple Angst<br />
How I hate the world today! How I hate the way the keyboard makes me feel stupid. I hate the cold air that make my fingers numb. I hate the rain outside--it will drench and put dirt on the edges of my pants. I hate the callers I got today! I hate the Q.A., I hate my age, I hate the friendster addicts! i hate the stinging pain on my back.<br />
I hate the way i hate the things I used to love.<br />
I hate him.. I hate spaghetti, I hate the stars... I hate these thoughts that wouldn't keep me still. I hate the way time pushes me, when all i ever want is to just breathe for a moment and feel myself.<br />
I am young but the world doesn't seem to be for my age today. Just today....<br />
Maybe I should go get myself a drink and sleep. <br />
<br />
Good morning--sleep tight graveyard firefly. <br />

"*ring...ring* that's the landline, as it breaks the silence downstairs. I hear it, but I don't give a damn. *ring...ring* that's my cellphone. "Hi...me pasok ka today, right?" that's my supervisor in his calm voice. My conscience bugged me. I have the most patient, and the most understanding boss in the planet. "Opo...papasok na po..." my voice sounds sleepy. I told him I am not feeling well. I don't lie to him. If I don't feel like going to work, I tell him straight out. And today, it's true that I am not feeling well...my soul is sick. I realized it's an hour past my shift. I slept a few minutes after that...woke up and screamed "AYOKO NG PUMASOK!" <br />
<br />

Have a read at the link above for the full blog if you like. For I was just like you at one time.... Just sharing these with you so you would know that I know how you feel and when say I understand -- I REALLY DO. ;-)<br />

I just deleted one blog I made because I just don't want people to know about it.<br />
In my line of work, I learned that privacy is sacred.<br />

It's is amazing how much you can learn about a person if you really want to. For like bread crumbs...everybody leaves a trail.<br />

Thank you for coming at the right time in my life. For treating me with respect, kindness and unconditional love. I have never felt this special before. <br />
<br />
I am glad I waited for the right guy. You are the best!Maya Jambaloshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09602405408279405591noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6537698.post-31198777588979912932009-03-23T11:25:00.000+08:002013-11-20T12:48:28.033+08:00Lessons From My PuppyI am alive again! =) A few years ago I killed myself through cyber suicide. Now what have I been doing in my cave all these time? <br />
<br />
Studying.<br />
<br />
I was studying about happiness. About power. About love. About God. And mostly about myself.<br />
<br />
I got me a cute classmate named Yumpkin (a shih tzu - it's her 9th month today). Though I tend to think that she got herself promoted to teacher while I have been permanently designated to being her student.<br />
<br />

What can you learn from a silly, playful puppy? A lot.<br />
<br />
A lot about cleaning after her mess. About forgiveness after she ate 4 pairs of your best shoes and the TV wire. About patience when she wakes you up in the middle of your sleep so you can take her downstairs to pee or poop. About taking care of another creature whose life is wholly dependent on you. About loving as you forgive her little mistakes for being too young and too dependent on you.<br />
<br />
I learned about power as she obeys me when I say "Stay!" and in the same way I also learned to be obedient. I learned about a God who was kind enough to send me a dose of laughter to get me through my days through Yumpkin. That happiness is a choice.<br />
<br />
That I am thankful I am me, for despite all things, I am still capable of love and kindness.Maya Jambaloshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09602405408279405591noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6537698.post-10994901455012295542008-02-10T03:53:00.000+08:002013-11-20T12:46:18.349+08:00I'm BackWhen you're with me baby, the skies will be blue for all my life... :-)<br />
<br />
The lady next to me was singing this beautiful song. Always, when I am about to give up, the universe gives me a little nudge to remind me to have faith.<br />
<br />
I will be writing again here soon as I just bought a new laptop! Soon I will get internet connection at home, but for now, I will be content sitting at Starbucks drinking tea, while posting my life on the web.<br />
<br />
