The Past Year - An Answered Prayer

Like last year's, the August Buttons to Hope meet happened on the 21st at the Button Hole in La Huerta. The brief drizzle made the farm look fresher, more verdant and more lush.

It's been exactly a year since the Button Hole was inaugurated. We thanked God for the richness of nature, the seeds that we plant and fruits that we harvest. And because of that He gave us more.

Sisters in the hood: Bidibidi, Ritzie, Tootsie, Ann and Lilette

We praised God for our wise minds and good hearts. For friends who appreciate and support. So He allowed us and now we are many.

from fresh harvest: greens with thousand island dressing, fresh tomatoes and string beans salad with lemon zest, chops in gravy, La Huerta meatballs with coleslaw, and chilled fruit cocktail in young coco, ginataang santol, too


Pec, Sarah, Wheng, Bidibidi and Yayet

The whole group including Monette

We prayed for possibilities that happen and dreams that come true. A year hence, we are all sharing the dream. And we have scholars starting to build their own.

Four of the six BTH scholars: Christian, Christian, Christine and Jam

Like the Button Hole, God did not make us wear out, break nor burn. We took the right path and we continue to be one.

As promised, we will never end our passion for the good. God please allow us for the years to come.

One 'F.A.R.M. traveler'

In her recent Singapore trip, Mia tags along her precious must-haves...

"I'm wearing the MIDNIGHT SUN - it's in midnight blue and silver combi, to commemorate the yet-unpublished Twilight book, MIDNIGHT SUN. It's based from Edward Cullen's point of view while TWILIGHT was based from Bella Swan's point of view."

One day she was donning a teal, the next day looked like it was the classic earthychoc...

The whole point is, this loyal F.A.R.M.er lives her fab, jetsetter life with F.A.R.M. And we so love her for that. Thank you!!!

F.A.R.M. supports the 2010 Miss Universe!

Our very own Venus Raj, the hottest and strongest contender for the 2010 Miss Universe crown?



Take home the gold Venus, for you deserve the gold.
