Potting Soil

I started to buy plants when I decided to make my own small garden inside our apartment. All I have is indoor plants of course, hehehe. I mostly buy plants in the dollar store where 1 plant only cost me $1. Because they are so small, I have to transfer them to a big pot and thus soil is needed. I found this soil, an all purpose potting mix, perfect for both indoor and outdoor plants and enriched with plant food at walmart for $6.97. It is expensive, isn't it? I remember in Philippines I used to make my own garden but I only got the soil from the area outside our house. Maybe, the kind of the soil I had didn't have a nutrients and wasn't very good for the plant but at least it is all for free. Here in america is different, I have to buy everything I need. I hope that my plants will grow so fast and healthy for this kind of soil, hahaha! :)

Road Bike

Giant Bicycle

My husband just got a new road bike today, yeey! He was debating to get the bike for a long, long, long time because he has to save his money especially for this very bad economy nowadays. Speaking of long time, that was before he met me, he has to hold on because he was planning to buy a new car. I saw him many times in front of his computer always viewing his dream bike. Poor guy! Then, I told him that it's more better to go to the store and try it himself how does it feels like driving the bike than just looking at it in the picture. So he did and he really fell in love with the bike even more. That is why he finally decided to buy the bike he really like (wheels and break are upgraded) and it cost him $2,600 -boo-. It is a big purchase but he deserved it, he work so hard and this is the fruit of his labor, make him so happy and excited to use it as soon as possible. Now, he is shopping online for his bike shoes, helmet and etc. hahahaha! Omg! this is a very expensive hobby but I'm cool with that because aside from knowing that this is really what he wanted for a long time, it is also good for his health. The next one he want's to get is a mountain bike. Whoa! Is that too much? We have to wait for a loooong time to buy it when we have enough money in the savings and when I start working, we'll see.
