Endlessly

04162020

March 25, 1920

Dear You,

I am writing this letter just to let you know that I still miss you so much, my love. Being far from home is not easy, I made a lot of adjustments here in our dormitory. We do a lot of scheduled daily tasks, also the housemistress is very strict. I cannot eat my mom's special calderata, I don't really like the foods here, the amount is small and it tastes way too different from my mom's cooking. I miss the smell of my father's brewed coffee as I woke-up every morning. I miss the sound of the water from the Estero and the cool breeze of the wind from my window. I miss Binondo, and most importanly, you.

It's 8:30 in the evening, the housemistress will do the head count and evening checking at 9. Writing this letter for a short span of time is not easy, especially now that I am expressing how much I long for you. I still remember the first time that we met. I was riding the Kalesa with ate Maria, on the Calle Escolta. And I saw you lifting a sack of flour on the famous Pan De Sal bakery. You held my hand and help me get down from the Kalesa to get the orders from your shop. And that moment of time, I fell inlove with you. I remember the times when I used to sneak from our house's window during dark and we are going to ride the boat and roam along the Estero de Binondo. You are holding my hand, and we are both hoping not to get caught. As we look at the stars above, and the moon shines through us. We used to do a morning walk on the Calle Real Palacio and enjoy the scent of the fresh Kalachuchi. You also love to pick a pink gumamela, and put it beside my ears while telling me how lovely I am and how much you want to be with me.

I can't also forget the time that you held the guitar and sing for me in the Plaza Moraga during the town's feast. I was so happy that time and I feel like I was the luckiest woman in the world. You held my hand, and asked for the permission of my parents. And we danced. We danced under the stars while you speak to me, telling me how beautiful I am that night, telling me how much you appreciate me. After that, you ask me to marry you and I said yes. We were just so happy.

But the world is uncertain and things always change. Two months before our wedding day, a letter came to me. I was accepted by my dream university here in Baguio City. This is something that I've been waiting for a very long time, this is my dream. But chasing this dream for myself also means losing you. And I don't want that to happen. I tried not to chase this dream for myself and just be happy with you. But you pushed me, you pushed me to do this for myself. You made me choose this dream instead of you. It's hard, but you promised that you will wait for me. Even if it takes forever.

But promises are meant to be broken. I know that you won't read this letter and there is no chance of seeing you again. But I want you to know, that I still mourn for you. That I will never have the chance to move on and get over from that night. That night when a letter came to me telling that you died from an accident. It still feels like a dream to me. All our hopes, all of the things that we planned together were just gone, in a snap. I can't do anything, I can't force things to happen. It hurts, I still cry every night my love. I miss you so much. And writing this letter is just my way to live in a dream. A dream that you and I are still together. Maybe another place, maybe another time. Till then, let's say goodbye I see you in another life. You will always be my love, my life and my everything. I know that will meet again, someday. Someday.

Forever Your Love

Today is March 25, 1970. It was so weird that I saw this letter out of nowhere while cleaning my dorm. And upon reading this, I didn't notice that I was already crying. I can feel the pain of the woman who wrote this. I don't know who this person is, nor the ending of their story but I hope that she found her happiness.

I pick the letter and put it on the box of my stuff. I insert my newly purchased CD on the Sylvania console stereo. This is a gift from my father before I left Cebu to study here in Baguio city. He knows so well that I love music so much and it was some sort of magic that makes me feel comforted. I played Let It Be, the last song that was released by my favorite band, The Beatles. Two weeks had passed since Paul McCartney stated that he is leaving the band. It was heart breaking especially for me, who is a big fan of this band. Sadly, I prepare for my morning class while listening to their last song.

Long day was over. Everything is just typical. Acads, people, routine. Though it was still tiring. I am a Fine Arts student in University of The Philippines here in Baguio City. Living an independent life is not easy. I miss my family so much, I miss my mom's cooking, my dad's silly joke as we spend our time under the mango tree during siesta. I miss my friends in Cebu, the sea, the farm. I miss everything about my home. The sun is setting and I am walking along the busy street of the Session Road while wearing my earphones. I decided to eat my dinner alone on Inihaws, my favorite restaurant here. While eating my dinner, I noticed a boy who keeps staring at me. I tilted my body to block his view, it feels awkward and creepy. As I continue to eat my food, I can see on my peripheral vision that he is still staring at me. I heaved a sigh and look directly to his eyes, I waved my hand and patted the seat beside me. Asking him to come and sit.

“What are you staring at?" I asked arrogantly.

He pouted his lips, pointing my plates and artworks. Ah, so he's looking at my artworks.

“What about them?" I asked him.

“They're nice and classic, I love them. Fine arts?" He talks so manly and attractive, uhh?

“Yup. There is just something that I saw this morning which inspired me for my plate today"

I explained as we both looked on the sketch of a woman riding a Kalesa, and a man who is holding her hand, they are both alive and smiling. They are the people on the letter that I read this morning.

The conversation went smoothly. I found out that he is an Architecture student on Saint Louis University, we are both into arts. I got no stuff to do this evening, so I decided to go with him as he asked me to have an evening walk along the Session Road. We talk about our interest, arts, music, things that we are fond of. We got a lot of things in common. He talks a lot, and I like how quick-witted he is as he tells a lot of jokes. We didn't notice the hour, it was already 10 in the evening. I do not as well, but I don't feel scared on this man that I just met few hours ago. I feel comfortable and we have this sort of connection like we knew each other on the past. We spent the night telling each other's story. We went to his small art room, and he painted me. He ask me to hold a plastic flower as I smile while he is painting me. It seems like I met a stranger, and this whole night is like a fairy-tale.

It was already 3 in the morning, we are sitting on the grass while we look on the city lights below. It was so beautiful. As well as the man beside me, he is lovely. I didn't ask for his name but it feels like I already know him so well. He tilted his head on my direction and caught me staring at him, he smiled and out of nowhere, his face turns sad.

“I'm married" he said.

I was shocked. I was hurt, and there is something that stings on my chest.

“I know you since we were freshmen, I first saw you sketching on the Inihaws. You are alone and you seem so committed with your passion. I find it so adorable, the way you move your hand, the way you put your hair on the side of your ears. The way you frown your forehead as you make some mistakes. I fell in love with you, the first time I saw you. Since then, I always follow you. I see you walking on the street while wearing your earphones. I always see you eating alone on the Inihaws. I always see you smiling on the street vendors, you are adorable as you say your good morning to them. And when I finally decided to introduce and show myself to you. My mom from Sagada called me. Asking me to come home. That day, I went home to Sagada. I saw my ex-girlfriend, and she has a child — our child. We were a stubborn, inlove teenagers during high school. We broke up just like a typical puppy love story. But I didn't know, that I got her pregnant. My son is already two years old when she showed up. She can't raise our child alone, so she decided to tell it to me and my family. Two months after, we get married."

My heart is aching as I listened to his story, I feel bad for him, I feel bad for us. I didn't speak a word. I just let myself stare on the city lights below. I can't process my thoughts right now. Feels like the fairytale is finally over. Surprisingly, he held my hand.

“I love my son, he is the reason why I am working hard to become an Architect. I love her mother, but not the way that I love you from a far. I fell in love with you and you deserve to know it. I was so happy loving you from afar, and thank you for that. Maybe another place, maybe another time. Till then, let's say goodbye I see you in another life, Stella"

He called my name, and he left.

Those were the last thing that he said that night. And I never saw him again. Maybe, maybe someday we will have the chance to love each other not just from afar. We will be together, someday.

March 25, 2020. This is it, this is the day that me and friends are finally seeing each other! After one year of not meeting everyone because of College, we're finally going out today. We chose the art exhibit as a venue for our date today. I'm excited! I kissed my mom as I went downstairs for breakfast, she teased me that our plan for today will be cancelled because of my excitement. I love my mom so much but sometimes, I hate her for ruining my moments hmp. I eat my favorite egg roll and decided to ignore her.

The time is 2:30 in the afternoon. I am already prepared for today's meeting. I drove the car and play my classic OPM playlist. I love music so much, and I can't live without it. Kamikazee's Tagpuan is currently playing, I bang my head and sang along with the melody of the song. It's 4 in the afternoon when I arrived at the venue. It is odd because I see no familiar face here. I opened my phone to ask where they are, and found out that the exhibit plan was cancelled during the last minute. And they decided to just eat on the restaurant nearby our place. I don't know what to feel, I feel bad for not checking my phone before leaving the house. I feel bad for being excited, mom is right. I don't know but I kinda felt lazy to go on the restaurant near our place because I traveled to get here for 2 hours. My excitement just all went down. I get in the car and think. Upon fighting with my thoughts I decided to just stay here and continue the exhibit plan, alone. It is a new experience though.

I went inside and everything feels amazing. I’m not an artsy kind of person, I don’t have any talents in art but one thing is sure — I really do appreciate art. I love to spend my time on looking at the green grass outside, the blue sky above and the beauty of nature. I do love aesthetic things because it reminds me that despite of being cruel, beautiful things on this world still exist. The ambience is nice, the people are few but I can see that they are enjoying the paintings inside the hall. I walk and took a photograph of the artworks. After that, I posted it on my instagram story and send it to our group chat to tell them that I can’t make it on our dinner anymore. And I decided to just stay here and stick to the original plan.

I roam around the hall and appreciate the beauty of art. While walking, a painting caught my attention. It was a woman with curly hair, and she was smiling from ear to ear. She was wearing a floral dress and holding a piece of rose. The woman seems so happy and I can feel the genuine emotion of the one who painted it. Is her boyfriend the one who painted her? It was romantic. Suddenly, I feel something weird and unexplainable on my chest, I can really feel something on this painting. Something that is connected with me.

“It was nice and classic, isn’t it lovely?”

I was shocked when someone has spoken out of nowhere, I tilted my head on the direction of the voice, it was a man. He was wearing a black shirt, and he is holding a camera. He is smiling sincerely while looking at the painting, weird but it seems like the voice came from the painting itself.

“Uhh yes. This painting feels so real and sincere. I can feel the emotion of both the painter and the subject” I said while looking directly at the painting. And I was smiling.

Our conversation went smoothly, and it seems like I found an instant date. He talks a lot and I found out that we were on the same University. He is an Engineering student, and he loves to play the guitar. I felt fascinated because I was attracted with men who are inclined to music. We roam around the hall and we were just so happy. Finally, long day is over and we bid our good byes. But before that, he asked for my phone number.

Oh shoot. I forgot to ask his name. But nevermind, I still have a lot of chance to meet him again. I smiled as my phone beeps and I got a text message from an unknown number.

“Take care, I had a good time. See you around” -Mr. Engineer

That’s the text message. I went home with a big smile on my face, the date with my friends have been cancelled. But I found a new experience today. Something more happy, and amazing. I lay in bed and look at the ceiling of my room along with its fake galaxy. I smiled as I remember the man that I met few hours ago. While giggling, I replied on his text message.

“Good night, Mr. Engineer! Had a good time too” -Ms. Psychologist.

To sum it up, we talk on the phone everyday. He always made my day, he always make me smile. He jokes a lot and he had a lot on his mind. He is quick-witted and very manly. After a few weeks of talking, I admit that I already had a crush on him. Along with that, we decided to spend our time together. And as time passed by, I am knowing him more and more.

We had the same interest in almost everything. We watched the same movies together. We listen to our favorite songs. We eat our favorite foods. Though we never share any of our favorite foods, especially him who can fight with anyone who touches his food, even me. We travelled places to taste various delicacies. We went to church regularly to pray. He became a part of my everyday. He loves picking a flower and putting it on the side of my ears. He loves playing the guitar for me.

It was really nice, to found someone who appreciates every little thing on you. Someone who can lend his ears and shoulder to listen. Someone who can cheer you up whenever you are feeling down. He loves kissing me, but loves hugging me more. I felt home and safe on his arms. It was weird but there is something that is telling me, that we really had the connection and we knew each other a very long time ago. All that he made me feel was something new. It was my first time, to fall inlove with someone. I had no doubts and regrets.

But the world is always uncertain, there are lots of things that we are unsure, so is us. We are just happy, and then in just a snap we parted our ways, and we fell apart. Maybe another place, maybe another time. Till then let’s say good bye, I see you in another life. I know that he is a blessing from God, and whatever it takes. We will meet again, someday.

Parang isang panaginip, Ang muling mapagbigyan, tayo ay muling magkasama.

Panatag na ang kalooban ko, At ika’y kapiling ko na Kay tagal kitang hinintay

I smiled as this classic song by Spongecola played on my car’s stereo. Today is 25th of March, 2025. And I am finally seeing him again. I smiled, a nervous smile mixed with excitement.

It was weird because last night, as I was fixing my stuff in our Ancestral house in Bagac, Bataan, I saw an old box . It was a collection of CDs, some of the albums are from The Beatles. And I saw a very old letter, the pen was already disappearing and it was already stained. The letter was from March 25, 1920. It was very old ; a hundred and five years ago. Along with the letter, I also saw an artwork. A sketch of a woman riding a Kalesa, and a man who is holding her hand, they are both alive and smiling on this artwork. I asked mom about this stuff, and she said that it belongs to my great grandmother, Stella. It was her stuff during her college days on Baguio City.

Anyway, after the very long wait. I am finally seeing him again.

The hall is full of people. I am wearing a red polka dots dress, I know that black is his favorite color but I want to show him something new. It seems like I was lost in the crowd and I can’t see him anywhere. But as I was walking through the sea of people, someone held my hand and whispered.

“You look so beautiful, baby. You never changed” I got teary-eyed as I heard his voice. Oh God, I miss him so much. I miss this man. The man that I lost and the same man that I found again. The long wait is over, we finally have the chance to be with each other. I hugged him tight, the only man that I ever loved, love and I will love wherever and whenever.

“Baby, I’m no angel, I’m just me. But I will love you endlessly” those were the words that I whispered through his ear.

“We parted our ways together, we fell apart but fate will always make a way for us. Time will always tell. In another place, in another time, we will always be together, our love is endless”

Words that I said, while directly looking into his eyes.

It’s 25th of March, year 2030. And today is our wedding day.

Mark and Georgia’s Big Trip

Chapter 15 – Lockdown Landscaping

This week I’ll diverge from what have become the usual subjects of late, such as Jungle Arts and Crafts and Things That Will Kill You, just because. And no coronavirus either, just because.

The weather’s always a good subject… Last week I told you that it’s changing, and we’re still having at least the threat of an afternoon thunder shower every day, actually getting a bit of rain every couple days. Last night it was dry but we had a very active lightning display. I’m a lightning geek and will go out and watch a lightning storm from start to finish (which in California usually means a few minutes) but I actually got tired of it last night after about an hour, went to bed, and it was lighting up the room for at least another hour. But last Monday we got rain, more than we’ve seen so far. Sorry, I didn’t mean rain, we got RAIN! I was out by the pool in the afternoon and we were getting some typical intermittent showers, then about 4:30 I went inside to clean up for happy hour. Shortly afterward the sky cut loose. We usually keep the pool water 2-3” below deck level, and in less than 30 minutes it was overflowing! Mud from our gardens was running all over our deck and into the pool! Ranny and I went out in the downpour and quickly dug some trenches to divert the water and all was good, happily the rain ended shortly, as quickly as it came.

Last week I mentioned that we’ve been working on our landscaping ourselves in the midst of our quarantine, sourcing many plants from our considerate neighbors. So this week, I’ll show you a few highlights of what we’ve done.

This is the front yard, looking from the driveway with our entry foyer to the right. Our Hass avocado is planted in the front yard, sort of hard to see but to the left of the three palm trees. It’s very happy here, growing like crazy, about 4’ tall now.

Still in the front, looking out towards the street and a little pocket garden nestled between the driveway and the entry stairs. I don’t like that twisty plant, but topiary plants seem to be popular here and the landscaper planted it. Just like a bad haircut, it’ll grow out. Georgia planted the spot to the right of the stairs, all ‘foraged’ plants.

To the back yard, this is our outdoor shower next to the big mambog tree. This is great before/after the pool, and there have been a few times I’ve come back from one of our hikes so sweaty there’s nothing like jumping in this cool shower.

The mambog tree reminds me that we have deciduous trees here (it’s an example) but we don’t have deciduous tree seasons. Trees like this, and the big molave tree in our courtyard, our talutos and many others, seem to shed their leaves whenever it’s time to do so. For instance the molave was lush when we arrived, then to our concern it lost almost all its leaves last month – we wondered if it was dying. Around the first of April we saw buds and in 2 weeks it’s fully leafed out. The mambog just got done chucking its leaves, but we’re seeing buds all over and expect it will shortly be green again.

Here’s a little garden on the side of the house, outside the window of the back guest bedroom. This bedroom is the only one without a view, so this is your consolation.

Georgia wanted lots of red bougainvillea – she got them all along the back wall. There are a lot more behind me, but if I aimed the other way you’d see the landscaping that still isn’t finished, below the pool.

And we have Kalachuchi trees! You may know them as Frangipani, or Plumeria, but I think the local name, Kalachuchi, is way more fun to say! We have 3 planted so far, with another 3 or 4 in pots waiting to find a home. These are all from cuttings generously provided by Kawayan Cove, who have a nice collection of both the white and this pink variety.

The one regular feature I’ll stick with is Sunset of the Week. As with last week, the afternoon weather is providing the clouds to give us some spectacular sunsets, almost every evening. Hope you enjoy this very orange sky!

Amid of the COVID-19 crisis, the president of the Philippines declared a community quarantine in Metro Manila which prohibits people from scattering around and also going in and out of the region. Duterte also suspended the classes for a good one month for the safety of the students and teachers as well. The president advised the people to just stay at home rather than going to other places to avoid being contaminated with the virus. He stated, “Pwede kayong magbakasyon diyan lang sa bahay. I’m sure may mga bagay-bagay diyan sa bahay na hindi pa ninyo nakita.”, which started a bunch of memes online. Funny, but honestly boring and really new for me. I honestly don’t stay this long in our house. On the first day of the quarantine I even went to McDonald’s because I’m not really a home person. I usually go out somewhere on my free days, but now I can’t. This is gonna be one long month for me.

Before the COVID-19 crisis, I would usually spend my free days on our canteen. A place where I am surrounded by many people and I can move very freely. But because of this situation, I’m literally a prisoner. I can’t even go out very far away. The only place I can go the farthest is the 7-11 convenient store near our place. It was kind of sad to see how dead the streets are because of this crisis. I usually dislike it when there are a lot of people on the streets, but now I think it’s better when the streets are filled with people rather having a ghost town. Also, because of this quarantine I was able to spend my time with my family. Because of that, I realized that if there will be another chance and choice to spend my days with them again like this, I would definitely refuse it. It’s not because I hate them, but because my family and I are different. They like things I don’t like and I like things that they don’t usually like. We’re very different and distant with each other. I should have escaped Manila and went to my best friend’s house in Laguna just like I did last Christmas. But maybe this can be a new challenge for me. “Try bonding with your family for a month” challenge. Good luck to me.

Due to health crisis that the country is currently facing, people were forced to lock themselves in their homes. It was a very new experience for me since I’m a person who wasn’t always present at home. For most of my free days, I was always out. Or in times when I was home, I was usually alone. But these days, I had to stay at home with my family. I barely go out and the farthest place I can go is the convenient store near us. It was really hard for a not so home person like me. I really wish this crisis to go down and let us go back to normal as slightly healthy citizens, but much likely virus-free people, who are able to do their things again without feeling the anxiety of of getting diseases!

5. Unique

7. Bullet Dumas

I know some of you may not like Bullet's raw and earthy sound but you should give it a try. With his message about love, society and his patriotism. It's just his incredible songwriting, his powerful voice and the six strings on his acoustic guitar all the way.

Open your eyes, stay woke and listen to, Usisa.

8. Over October

Their gospel inspired but feel good sound is another reason for you to listen to this band. The atmospheric sound of this band will make your woes go away. But if you listen to "Wait" well that song will bring you to the feels zone.

Just cry and listen to, Wait.

twitter: @thebandshirley

9. Ang Bandang Shirley

It's the band's dynamic production and simple lyrics that make this band as big as ever in the scene. Almost all of their tracks all sounds wondrous. It's their song "Siberia" that I first listened to and since then I've been a fan. I'm carrying the songs message through my life, "Pinili ang sariling sumaya."

"May darating na pag-ibig" now listen to, Siberia.

twitter: @reeseypeesey

10. Reese Lansangan

Ah yes finally, Reese! I love this girl. I may call her a renaissance woman for her wide array of talents and skills that she's already venturing. It's her cute sound, intellectually written lyrics and famously long songs that makes her a force to be reckoned with in the OPM music scene heck she's already garnering attention abroad.

Let me introduce you to a Reese Lansangan's song listen to, For The Fickle.

Pila Legends: Mythological Stories our Elders told us

Stories told by our "Lolas and Lolos" - grandparents - in Pila. Collected from Pile descendants.

Mythical Beings in Philippine Folklore

Nuno sa Punso: Never play on or step on an anthill or termite mound because those are the dwellings of the "Nuno sa Punso", or Duwende (dwarf). Nuno means "old man". To disturb the dwelling would anger them and they will seek revenge. For example, a popular warning was that "if you kick the mound, your foot will swell." But if you must pass the mound, you must always ask for permission to do so by saying "tabi-tabi po", or the equivalent of "please let me pass." They can be playful and appear to children. They are believed to guard the land. There are two types, the "good" dwarves, and the dreaded "itim na duwende" (evil dwarf) that kidnaps children and inflicts harm on people by making them ill. They are also said to hide a horde of treasure. And if you saw a plant in a garden moving up and down, it was the duwende riding on the leaves.

Tikbalang: A creature with the body of a man and a head and neck of a horse. Said to dwell in forests and in mountains. They are said to lead travelers astray especially those who walk in rural areas and especially at night. To avoid getting lost, one must wear their shirt inside-out. It is said that when it is sunny but all of a sudden it starts to rain, two Tikbalang are getting married.

Aswang: Aswang is a term for many shape-shifting evil creatures such as vampires, ghouls, witches. Many kitchens and houses had hanging bulbs of garlic to ward these spirits away.

Kapre: A giant who smokes a pipe and a creature that is used to scare children who play out too late at dusk. But if you offer it cigarettes, supposedly it can befriend you. In Pila, there is a big Kalachuchi (Plumeria or Fragipani flower) tree (some also say it's a Narra tree - 'Burmese Rosewood') on the corner of Ruiz and Burzagom streets said to house a kapre. People say that their hair stands on end whenever they walk by that tree.

Manananggal: A "viscera sucker" that preyed on pregnant women, or any person in general. It was a female creature that could break off its upper half of it body and fly off with large bat-like wings in search of victims, leaving the lower half of its body hidden. People were told that if they saw a thin red thread going down from the ceiling, to cut it with a pair of scissors. To get rid of the manananggal, one had to find the lower half of her body before sunrise and before she returned and sprinkle salt on it so the two halves could not re-join, and the manananggal would perish. "A telltale sign that it is in human form is a gap between the upper and lower front teeth where the tongue can pass through."

Female ghosts in white gowns, headless priests and nuns, statues that walked at night, and ghosts that dragged chains were some of the ghosts used by the elders to scare children into not playing out at night and to come straight home once the sun started to set.

Other:

"Don't sweep in the late afternoons or at night with a walis ting-ting (a broom made up of thin midribs of palm leaves and tied at the base and used as a broom, particularly in yards) or you will sweep good luck away."

"When someone dies, a rosary is wrapped around the hands of the deceased, but the rosary must be cut off or else a family member will die."

"When a rooster crows or a dog howls at midnight, there is the presence of death in the surrounding houses."

Flowers

Certain flowers remind me of home.

Bougainvilleas growing on our neighbor's yard would color our street pink, while the sweet smell of yellow kalachuchis from two houses down would perfume the summer air wafting into my room.

In the evenings, the night-blooming jasmine from our own yard would take over, its mysterious, heady scent harmonizing with the glow of the moonlight.

During playtime in the nearby park, my friends and I would take some santan and sample its sugary nectar, before stringing the flowers into fine jewelry. We’d then swing and slide and run and hide as petals from a fire tree would rain red and fall slowly like confetti.

If only all flowers were as good. If only all flowers were as kind.

If only all flowers held memories worth revisiting—before wilting through the days and eventually rotting away.

Bioluminescent Trees

Trees have been called the structural elements of the ecosystem. There are trees for shade and shelter, trees that provide fruits and nuts, ornamental trees and flowering trees, deciduous and evergreen. They come in all shapes and sizes from tiny dwarfs to the towering canopy of the forests. They exist all over the world except in the driest and coldest climates.

Trees provide countless benefits from helping prevent soil erosion to reducing the air temperature. Trees also provide, food, wood, and oxygen, and even help combat climate change, but they are not only beneficial for the environment but can also be beneficial for your personal needs. The trees – which are usually color green – can relax us and help our eyes quickly recover from strain. They are also used for the beauty of our homes and for the enhancement of the appearance of the parks and malls around us.

But what if trees glow? Have you ever heard of bioluminescent trees? Have you ever imagined enjoying evening strolls in the park with the paths lit not by street lights but by trees?

Lighting creates as much CO2 as cars. With bioluminescent trees, we can reduce the amount of CO2 emmitted, and less energy will be consumed. Also, parks with glowing trees instead of street lamps can attract tourists, and this can give additional profit.

Bioluminescence is the production and emission of light by a living organism. The light emitted by a bioluminescent organism is produced by energy released from chemical reactions occurring inside (or ejected by) the organism. Bioluminescent organisms are actually not as rare as one might imagine it to be. In fact, fireflies and jellyfish are examples of bioluminescent organisms.

In order for us to have bioluminescent trees, we have identified 3 biotechnology techniques. First is the DNA marker.

DNA marker refers to a specific DNA variation that has been found to be associated with a certain characteristic. DNA marker testing or genotyping determines which alleles an is carrying for a DNA marker(s).

The part of the DNA of the firefly that is responsible for its bioluminescence will be identified by DNA testing. Using the same procedure, the part of the DNA of the kalachuchi tree where the bioluminescence gene will be inserted will also be established.

The second biotechnology technique is DNA recombination which refers to the exchange of DNA strands to produce new nucleotide sequence arrangements. Recombination occurs typically, though not exclusively, between regions of similar sequence by breaking and rejoining DNA segments.

The five steps in DNA recombination are :

1. Identification and isolation of gene of interest. The gene of interest for this experiment is the bioluminescent gene from the jellyfish, this gene will be isolated.

2. Join the gene into a plasmid which involves the construction of the recombinant DNA. In this process, restriction enzymes as used as scissors for cutting DNA molecules. It will be combined with plasmid to make a recombinant DNA.

3. The recombinant DNA will be integrated into a host cell.

4. Selection of transformed host cell. The transformed host cell contains the characteristics of the recombinant DNA.

5. Multiplication of the bioluminescent DNA in the host cell. The recombinant DNA will multiply inside the host cell.

The tree with the altered DNA will be grown until it reaches the proper stage when small amounts of the parent tissue can be taken. This method, which is also the third step, is called tissue culture. Plant tissue culture is the technique of maintaining and growing plant cells, tissues or organs especially on artificial medium in suitable containers under controlled environmental conditions. The small amount of the kalachuchi tree, like a leaf, will be taken and transferred into plates that contains nutrient agar.

After the plant hormones are added, cells grow into small masses of tissue, and more growth hormones are added for the roots and stems to grow. The tiny plantlets are then transferred into trays where they can develop into trees.
