Even as “Barack Fever” hit the Philippines in last year’s US elections (knowing the repercussions, it’s as much the Philippines’ elections, too), I remained a skeptic. And I still am, to some degree. I was rooting for Hilary to be the next POTUS, not because she was a woman (although that’s a plus), but because I followed her work as a Senator and her gigantic fight to furthering the healthcare bill. I believed she had more mettle and experience than Obama as a leader.

Now that my youngest brother is enjoying dorm life at Heriot-Watt, I felt compelled to teach him the right way to wash dishes. It may seem unimportant, but when you’re living on your own for the first time, it comes in handy and will pay dividends.
I started travelling at a young age, and I’ve observed the different ways that people in other countries clean their homes and wash dishes. And I can say with great confidence that the Filipinos still have a far superior method, even compared with Americans and Europeans (in my experience, anyway).
Reading my brother’s, uh, interesting I Only Have a Bell Pepper and Tomato in my Fridge Recipe reminded me of my childhood gardening hobby. I had my own gloves, gardening shears, trowel, mini-rake and loam ordered from one of Marikina’s garden markets. I had an extensive cacti garden that bloomed every month (yes, some cacti have flowers) and a small vegetable garden.
Fifteen years later, I find that the field of hobby gardening has had amazing technological advances. These aren’t new products, either; they’ve been around for about four years now, but I’ve only found out about them recently.
