While i have a tall and colorful christmas tree, my daughter Arianne has a different one. Using her creativity, she has a christmas plant, not tree and decorated it with nice trimmings. After all, the spirit of christmas is not in the decorations but in our hearts.
This is just a continuation of my other post, featuring my vegetable/ornamental plants and flowers. It was my youngest sister who motivated me to have green collections and was hooked since then. It gives me an inner peace looking at my plants and beside it saves money because i will not buy anymore fruits and veggies.
During this pandemic, a lot of people becomes interested in flowers and plants which includes me. I used to put plastic flower decors in our garage so that i will not be oblige to maintain it. Now, i removed all of them and changed it to real ones which makes me busy everyday. Its a nice feeling seeing them grow and its my stress reliever. Thanks to my youngest sister who gave me some succulents and the rest i bought it in the garden store. Anyway, its a trend nowadays and there are really plants that costs a fortune.
My youngest daughter Astrid celebrated her birthday with friends and colleagues in Qatar. As a mother, i am very proud of her achievement as a person and as a daughter. My heartfelt wish for her is good health and may the Lord continue to guide her in all her plans. She already fulfilled some of her dreams in life and we are just here to support her. Happy birthday again anak and God bless you and your friends always. Me and papang loves you very much.
I had the chance to bond with my eldest and youngest sister yesterday. Over our sumptuous lunch of pansit, lumpiang shanghai, pork barbeque and pichi pichi, we talked about updates on family issues. It was a nice feeling to be with them because i haven't seen them during the lockdown. I was amazed on how my sister Myra propagate succulent plants and its not only a hobby but now she's now earning from it. We also visited the dream house of Lhedbudz and its now in its finishing touches.
For the past days, me and dirk are experiencing lots of struggles in our health. Being a hypertensive is no joke because of the ups and downs in my blood pressure. I have to live with it and just control and watch the food i eat as much as possible. Dirk also had his problem with bladder, prostate and inability to pass stool. He had his prostate ultrasound yesterday and just waiting for the recommendations of his urologist. Anyway, this is already expected because of our pre existing conditions and it comes in our ageing process. I just always thank God everyday for the gift of new day and life.
