TidBits
There are a couple of items worth mentioning before I post our Pagsanjan adventure.
Sunday, March 16 friend Ruston sent me an invitation on the grand opening of Betis Galleria in Bacolor along the Olongapo-Gapan Road. It's a showcase of the works of prominent sculptor Willy Layug. It's not a very big event yet there were several Capampangan and a couple of national celebrities. Archbishop Aniceto led the blessing and Pampanga Gov Ed Panlilio along with main guest and National Artist Napoleon Abueva cut the ribbons assisted by the dean of UP College of Fine Arts, Corazon Hila, whom I've met in Bagac during the grand opening of the newly restored original building of the UP School of Fine Arts. In attendance were Robby Tantingco, Andy Alviz, Alex Castro, Tonette Orejas (who was there to cover the event for the National Enquirer, as well as the David brothers, Randy and Bishop Ambo.
Donna and I watched the movie 10,000 BC. Cool movie, great special effects.
We've started collecting and planting euphorbias all over the yard. They're flowering plants and they come in different colors and sizes. Most of them are in pots and there are several planted on the ground as well. I like them because they don't require a lot of care. In fact, they don't need a lot of water, too much will actually kill them. We bought several when we went to Tagaytay.
Below are my 'mother' euphorbia plants. I've actually taken cuttings from them to grow in separate pots.
We also bought four milflores one of which I've transferred to a pot. They were thriving in cool Tagaytay but they're having such a hard time adjusting to the warm weather here.
I already have one but for some reason its flowers will not bloom. So I moved it from the front, outside the fence to the corner of the house hoping the change will be good for it and I've watered it once mixed with some 'flowering' fertilizer. Its leaves all wilted the first day I planted it but it's getting better now after several days in its new location.
Last year we took off in March and didn't come back till November. I was surprised my bananas in our backyard went from this:
to this:
We also have four sampaguita bushes which have grown quite large since we left. During the last couple of days I've been picking up the little white flowers that fall on the ground and putting them in a container for our dinner table and our Holy Spirit/Virgin Mary altar.
