I grew up in a family of 6 in a usual 80's family setting. The dad works while my mom is a SAHM (Stay at home mom). With 4 of us studying in an private school, there's no budget for "extras" in the house. In Mom and Dad's Anniversary, Dad's Birthday, Mom's Birthday, Mother's Day, Father's Day and whatever occasion that screams for gift giving, the 4 of us would always pitch in for either ice cream or a cake! You will never see a bouquet of flowers or just a single flower as a sign of greeting...as my mom would always say...
"Hindi mo naman makakain ang bulaklak!" (You can't eat flowers.)
So I grew up with the notion of giving fruits for my relatives every Christmas season. But in my heart, I like the gorgeous arrangement of flowers, the unique color combination that gives the recipient a certain "high". I had that feeling when a suitor hand me one (Promise, I have suitors aside from Keith lol) :P
And guess what, the bright minds came up with an idea of "edible arrangements".
