Little Pairs Treasured

Valentine's Day is just a day ahead. People are rushing to the malls to buy some stuffs and surprises for their loved ones. And again, it's raining outside. Planned to have a quick window shopping a while ago. Unfortunately, the rain is heavy. For sure, I will have a hard time for a cab.

Anyways, here are some of my treasured stuffs. Got my cam and had fun shooting. I love them! In pairs huh....

These are figurines. My friend gave it to me last 2005 I think.

This was a gift to me when I turned 18. It's been 10 years! More likely a jewelry box. It is a figurine..

I love collecting angels when I was in high school. Way back in the late 90's. I don't buy. It's in my wishlist. That's my close friends made sure that I would surely love their gifts!

This is my favourite photo! This is a key holder (The chain was lost!). This was a "friendship key holder" from my college friends. We always do have some things in common when coming to our class! I miss my friends...

These treasures are kept with care. I love collecting small things. It's the thought that really counts...
Happy Hearts Day Bloggers!!

Shopping at Novica

I was wondering last week why a lot of my visitors came from Rosa's Yummy Yums.. At first, I didn't mind. Until Rosa sent me a message to email her. There is something for me. I won a$50 worth of gift certificate from Novica. Again, I wondered and curious. When I opened the website, I like it! I'm a fan of National Geographic. I was really excited for the jewelry collection. I love their designs! I enjoyed browsing the items. Add them to my Wishlists. Someday.. I'll gonna buy them! hehehe

My first choice is this, Garnet and smoky quartz earrings, "Blossoming" by Nareerat. According to Novica, Garnet is believed to have properties that provide stability, grounding, and courage. Some cultures also associate garnet to sexuality, bounty and fertililty. I also chose quarts because it is my birthstone (April). Garnet, the stone of love and devotion. Quartz is an Energizer and Amplifier.

My other choice is the Pearl and amethyst beaded bracelet, 'Lilac Rose'. Pearl is a symbol of feminine wisdom. It symbolizes Honesty, Purity, Wisdom and Integrity. And I think that's why it is best for a bride to wear pearls during her wedding. Amethyst is a stone for spirituality. I like this stone because it is said that it can help reduce stress and bring calmness and clarity in times of confusion.

And the last.. The top 1 on my Wishlist for my Birthday... Garnet Heart Necklace, "My Love".

An exquisite necklace (according to Novica). Garnets seem to palpitate within a sterling heart. A declaration of love, this exquisite necklace is carefully crafted by Indian designer Neeru Goel.

Thank you Rosa for this wonderful gift certificate at Novica.. :-)

Lantaw Bukid Resort, Davao City

Another holiday. Another getaway to relax from city life. We chose Lantaw Bukid Resort, located at Los Amigos, Tugbok District, Davao City. A 30-minutes to an hour ride from downtown area, depending traffic situation. I think it is called Lantaw Bukid because "Lantaw" in our dialect here means "look" and "bukid" means mountain. And it's true. Overlooking nature.

Lantaw Bukid Resort has many amenities. There is a small pond for fishing "Hito" (Catfish), and also for boating. It has also a pool area for adults and kids. The kiddie pool is amazing because there is a fountain at its center. There is an open playground for all ages!

I love this place because it is very peaceful. Away from busy streets and traffic. Away from a stressful living just for a day. It is a fun way catching up with friends and family members. There are cottages if you just want to sit down and have a chat while eating. Or do some adventure or just swim and feel the heat of the sun.

I love Davao City! There's no place like home...

Cheers with Some Drinks!

Got some time with my close friends after holidays. First, we had some chat at Blugre Cafe. And my favorite drink is the White Mocha. It has nougats. Very relaxing while reminiscing our high school memories...

First time for this beverage. It's a beer and my first time to drink this Tanduay Ice. People say don't underestimate this drink. Proven! Taste like juice. But hey! after a few minutes, I got dizzy!! Nice one! The best alcomix I ever tasted!

Another first time. It's been eight months I think since Abreeza Ayala Mall opened here in Davao City. At long last, after eight months!! Got a taste of their Dark Mocha Blended Coffee. Love blended coffees!

Another craze of us! Me and my colleague love their brewed tea! I told her: Love at first taste!. Yup. Very much refreshing especially their Black Magic Tea. It's a milk tea with some jellies. A stall name 360 degrees. My colleague loves their Oolong tea. Good for health conscious people because Oolong Tea has benefits in controlling obesity. I recommend this to all Dabawenyos! Found in SM City Ecoland, they also have a brance in Yahu Plaza, near Uyanguren area. Very refreshing and a healthy drink for all.

Much Love From Them

At last! These cute little ones are in my blog! Well, I always wanted for a small dog in the house. And here they are! Sugar - the female; Tikoy - the male one. I want to name them with something sweet.

What I really like from them is that they are very affectionate and playful dogs! They only bark if there are passers-by that they they unusual. If there is sound outside, I like the way they move their ears and locate where the sound came from. Sometimes a hard-headed one. That's why I bought them some treats to get their attention. They love food! I also bought them some Denta sticks. They love to kiss and lick my hands and face. Thank you Denta Sticks! At least my dogs don't have bad breaths! hehe

They are our alarm clock! They jump and lick our faces! Kinda sweet.. When they are very hyper, I just ignore them. They know when to stop and behave. That's my babies! hehe

I really love this photo! I immediately got my cellphone and took a shot. They are very curious.. My sister cracked a joke, Did you put some food on the christmas tree? She often teased my dogs because there are so healthy. And I'm a little bit chubby. They got their traits from me.. hmmmmffff...

Anyways, hope you enjoyed reading. Happy weekend to all!!

My Precious Mine

Another year is here.. and as I looked back at the years passed by, here are some things that I treasured...

The latest gift that I received and value most... Its from my boyfriend... A lovely crystal earrings.. At first, I was hesitant to wear it in the public... I found out that its nice as it sparkles..

Next is something i got from Hongkong Tour. It is simple yet elegant authentic jade ring. And truly didn't regret to have this as my remembrance from my Hongkong vacation.

My eternity ring. I bought this ring last 2007. It caught my attention because of its different colors. A rare collection. I saw many eternity rings but not as this one. No multi-colored gems.

This bracelet is something I've been searching then the beaded bracelet is not in season. I searched every malls here in our place but there are no thing like this.. I gave up.. Fortunately, I went on a shopping and bumped this bracelet.. I bought it immediately.. At last I found it! hehe

Happy New Year!!!
