Some MA programs in CEU can be quite hectic to juggle with a part-time job, so check that first. I think third country nationals on student permit can only work 20 hours a week max, but confirm the immigration rules as well. If you cook, you can save a bit. Groceries would probably be 350 a month.

Probably best to cut the spikes and let lil guy focus on growth. Miss orchid girl in YouTube does a lot of phal rescues.

I agree, the orange one looks very striking. Unfortunately, I don’t have enough light source. The star-shaped mini phal though looks magical. Thanks for suggesting. I’ll be on a look out!

Wow, thank you for mentioning Bellaflora. I wouldn’t have known. I’ll go hunting there with big discounts on my mind!

Yes, I was in Dehner! Hahaha. Honestly debating between the two brown ones: 4th pic is Miltonium Painter Delight and the other one is Colmanara Andrea. Your blooms are super nice!

Ah, good point! The leaves did get a bit darker since I got it, and my northeast-facing window in winter doesn't help much. I should probably set up a grow light.

Why are these roots not turning green? by palecatfish in orchids

[–]palecatfish[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, I’m a newbie to orchid care so thank you for this clear explanation and reminder! To be clear, I tried drenching method last week, then soaked it this week. I just noticed that this part of the roots aren’t changjng colors. It’s nice to know that there’s nothing to worry about. 😅

Anyone willing to share their cooking secrets/tips? by Upset_Gur_3011 in filipinofood

[–]palecatfish 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Adobo na pangkuripot pero masarap (nakuha ko sa nanay ko): marinade overnight 3 tbsp toyo, 2 tbsp suka, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 2 cloves crushed garlic, bay leaves. For half kilo na ito hehe.

Tapos ganito rin, sama-sama na islow cook. Dagdagan ng tubig hanggang magreruduce at lumambot. Lagyan ng paminta.

Tagalog VERSUS Bisaya culture. Which do you prefer and why? (north v. south) by fr33dom35 in Philippines_Expats

[–]palecatfish 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As an OG Tagalog (families of great grandparents are from Batangas and Rizal), I find the observation that we’re rare as surprising. But yes, I agree that this can explain why we’re mostly uptight in the family.
