Christmas Gifts For Your Brother

December 13, 2012 / Filed Under: Christmas, gift

Let’s admit it. Whether older or younger, brothers can sometimes be a pain in the neck. But whether you like it or not, they’re your brothers. And in this season of giving, you still want to give them a nice Christmas present that tells them you remembered them and you love them.

Here are some suggestion on what to get him:

Best choice with guys is food. I’d buy my brother chocolates but he doesn’t really like sweets, he’s more of a meat person and I couldn’t wrap kilo of sirloin, could I? So cookies or chocolates would be the next best thing to give.
If your brother is a guitar player, I’d suggest you get him an epiphone dot at music123. I’m sure he’ll love it.
Video game ~ most guys I know are geeks and they would go gaga over video games. My brother would go crazy for Diablo III right now.

These are just gift ideas for the men in your life. I’m sure they’ll love either one of these.

Where To Buy Poinsettias

November 10, 2012 / Filed Under: Christmas, Gardening, house and home

Yearly during the month of November, it has been a tradition for my mother to buy Poinsettias to decorate our home with. It lights up the house and makes it look more festive. It makes us feel that indeed, it’s nearly Christmas.

Poinsettias are the most popular flower during the holidays because of it’s red and green foliage.

So where do we buy our Poinsettias? Well, we buy pots of them at the Manila Seedling Bank Foundation.

It is located at Quezon Avenue Extention Corner E. DeLos Santos Avenue, EDSA Quezon City. They were initially just a company that is in charge with seedling production but grew into this large foundation with diversified operations dealing mainly with the greening of the environment.

A pot of Poinsettia costs around ₱200 – ₱300 depending on which seller you’ll buy from and how big the plant is.

Aside from Poinsettias, they also sell different kinds of plants, flowers, herbs, fertilizers, soils and pots –basically everything that you need in your garden.

This is where I bought the herbs that died in my hand..huhuhu.

I hope I gather enough courage to start an herb garden again..
