Adding images to your menu items is a good way to customize your menu. It helps a visitor to immediately identify what kind of page your menu item links to. For example, a menu item linking to your archive page might be better with a calendar icon before the label. Plus, it’s just visually appealing…← continue reading →
Bark Grafting Scion on Mango Branch
While I was out riding my bike I came upon this flowering mango tree growing along a stream bank. The mango tree is leaning a lot, almost falling into the water stream but it has a lot of flowers. I’m thinking I could graft a scion of this tree to the one we have at…← continue reading →
Grafting an Avocado – Success with Cleft Graft
I have always wanted an Avocado tree. Space is limited in our lot so growing fruit trees in containers would be my best option. I already bought a grafted avocado but I want more and of different varieties. I read that the trees would set more fruit when another of a different type is nearby…← continue reading →
Building A New Mountain Bike
My Big, Black Mountain Bike. Not actually a bike for “Mountain Biking”—which would require for more expensive parts—but more of an all-around bike for roads, muddy fields and river-crossings.

I find it insincere and spammy. I felt like removing the link to his plugin and recommending something else. So I did 😛
My First Trip to Singapore
I don’t really do any traveling at all here in the Philippines. I haven’t been anywhere outside of Luzon. The farthest south I’ve been to is in the province of Laguna—Though I am planning a solo cycling trip to the Bicol Region. So going outside the country for vacation is kind of a big deal…← continue reading →
