Q: when the flowers fall off. Use a sharp, sterilized pair of pruning shears or a razor to trim the stalk when the plant has stopped blooming. Leave about 1 inch (2.5cm) of the stalk, or spike, so that it can regrow. Water the orchid, then gently tug the plant out of its pot. Use your hands to loosen the roots a bit and dust off any growing media stuck to them. Then, carefully place the orchid into the new pot. If possible, pick a pot designed for orchids. If you can't find one, opt for a pot with lots of drainage holes to allow air to flow in and water to drain out. Put a saucer underneath the pot to catch excess water. If the roots of your orchid begin growing out through the holes in the bottom of the pot, that's an indication that the pot is too small and you should move it to a larger one. To promote the reblooming of orchids, mix 2 parts bark formulated specifically for orchids with 1 part peat moss to create the growing medium. Fill the space around the roots with the medium and add a light layer on top, but be sure you don't cover the leaves. Orchids need well-draining media with lots of air pockets in order to flourish. Avoid using regular potting soil in orchid pots.
A: Cut back the stalk Move the orchid to a new pot once the roots start poking out of the bottom. Add fresh growing medium to give your orchid a nutrient boost.

Q: During this time of both caring for your child and managing your work as a student, be sure to set a schedule for yourself. This will help ensure that both you and your baby are adjusted to the college life. Plan for a set time each day to study, exercise, eat, sleep, go to class, and to drop off/pick up your child. Many universities offer housing options for families or students with children, as you cannot live in a dorm room with a baby. Look into these options at your school. In addition, if you prefer to live off campus, you can find some apartments nearby that are in your price range and are kid-friendly. Though it can be tempting to clean or work while your baby is sleeping, this can be damaging to your health. When your baby sleeps, you should sleep as well. You do not need as much sleep as your child does, so get the 7 or 8 hours that you need, and then get up and do whatever work you need to do. If you don't sleep when the baby does, you might find yourself pulling an unwanted all-nighter, as your child might stay up through the night leaving you with no sleep. Make the most of every moment that you have away from your child. Study on the bus or in between your classes or during any spare moment you get during the day. Even 5-10 minutes can make the difference between passing a test or failing.
A: Set a routine. Find appropriate housing. Sleep when your baby sleeps. Study whenever and wherever you can.

Q: Choose a surface with plenty of space on it, such as a folding table, then flip the shirt so the front side is down. Begin spreading the shirt out as much as possible. Pull both of the sleeves out and also tug on the hem and collar to lay them flat against the table. If your shirt has any images or designs on the front, keep them face down for now. They will become visible again when you finish folding. Flatten out the fabric by pressing down on it with your hands. Consider ironing your shirt before folding it to eliminate any remaining wrinkles. This works best with freshly-washed shirts. Any wrinkles you leave behind will deepen after you fold the shirt. Also, if the fabric bunches up, you may not get the cleanest folds. Imagine a vertical line running down from the closest shoulder to the hem. Pick up the shirt by gripping the shoulder and hem, then fold it to the line you imagined. Rest the sleeve horizontally across the shirt. Stretch the sleeve out so it's level with the other sleeve. When you're finished, about a third of the shirt's front side should be visible. Grasp both ends of the sleeve to move it back toward the edge of the shirt. Line up the sleeve as evenly as possible with the edge of the shirt. Then, pull the sleeve as close to the hemline as possible before pressing it flat. Long sleeves often reach all the way down to the hem after this fold. If your shirt has shorter sleeves, use the same fold, but don't worry about the end of the sleeve reaching the hem. Another option is to fold the sleeve sideways to form a stack of fabric on top of the shirt. Fold the sleeve in half to the right, then fold it again to the left. The edge of the second fold will align with the left edge of the shirt. Work on the left side by moving the sleeve over to the right. Fold the left side a third of the way across the shirt, then fold the sleeve down diagonally to tuck it in. Align the sleeve with the left edge of the shirt as much as possible. When you're done, check to make sure the sides look even. The left sleeve will overlap the right sleeve a little bit. That part is normal and necessary for tucking the sleeves out of the way while you fold the rest of the shirt. If your dress shirt happens to have extra fabric around the hemline, fold the extra length up over the sleeves. Make the folds right at the hemline so it is even all the way around. These folds are small, but they make your shirt look much neater and protect it from wrinkles while it is folded. If your shirt doesn't have tails, skip this fold. Instead, begin folding it in half so it's small enough to easily store on a shelf or in a suitcase. Fold the shirt in half to reduce its size. Position the shirt's hem right underneath the collar, pushing it flat to force out any wrinkles the fabric picked up along the way. This will leave you with a rectangle of fabric that is easy to pack away on a shelf or in a bin. Make sure the shirt looks compact and wrinkle-free before storing it! Move the bottom part up carefully so the sleeves don't fall out of place. When you're done, they will end up tucked inside the fabric instead of hanging out.
A: Lay the shirt face down on a flat surface. Smooth out any puckers or wrinkles in the shirt. Fold the right side about a third of the way in. Tuck the sleeve down to the right with a diagonal fold. Repeat the folds with the left side of the shirt. Make a small fold to tuck away shirt tails if you have them. Bring the folded edge of the shirt up to the collar.

Q: If you're traveling from outside the Philippines and don't already have a current and valid passport, you will need to obtain one before being allowed into the Philippines. Check online or with your local post office about how to obtain a passport. It can take several weeks for your passport application to process after you send it in. Be sure to allow enough time between when you send your application in and when you leave for your trip. If you are planning to stay in the Philippines for longer than 30 days, you will need to apply for and obtain a visa. Visit the Philippine embassy website for more information: https://www.philippine-embassy.org.sg/consular/visa/important-visa-information/. If you're traveling from outside the Philippines, you will need to get to either Cebu City on the island of Cebu, or to Dumaguete which in the Negros Oriental region of Negros Island. Both cities have international airports. Alternatively, you can fly to Manila, the capital of the Philippines, and take a smaller flight to either city. Due to its small size, Sumilon Island only has one hotel -- the Bluewater Sumilon Island Resort. You can book a room there, or if you're planning to go to Sumilon Island on a day trip, you have the option of staying closer to Cebu City or Dumaguete instead. Search online for the Bluewater Sumilon Island Resort or for hotels near Cebu City or Dumaguete.
A:
Obtain a passport if necessary. Book your flight to Cebu City or Dumaguete. Book your room to stay overnight.
