Broken String

The youngest daughter requested that we have her guitar brought to her where she is vacationing. Three family members have been to where she is staying but alas, we can’t possibly ask them to bring a guitar with them, too big to carry.

She said however, that she just borrows an older cousin’s guitar to practice on.

They were kinda sad when one of the guitar strings broke and the one they got was not to their liking. They use elixir strings and couldn’t find a music store that carries the brand.

They said it the sound that the new string has is different. 😀

3 Years of Crafts for a Cause at SM Kultura Filipino

Kultura Filipino

This May 2013, Kultura Filipino celebrates three years of having Crafts for a Cause with new products and new partners.

Crafts for a Cause was able to bring together different products coming from livelihood programs of the non-profit organization partners. Through the training and help of various foundations, the products made by the marginalized and underprivileged members of the society have found their way to the hands of buyers who purchase these.

Photos of the products featured in Crafts for a Cause:

Big Doors

I edited this to make it look like the doors or the house itself was photographed a few decades ago.

edited to look old

It sure makes one reminisce about the times when our great grandparents were still alive.

This is a perfect setting for a big polished car to come and and stop to collect a lovely lady all dressed up to go a ball while her dad (who loves the best maduro cigars) look on with worry that his little girl is growing up too fast.

I think I’d like to live in this kind of generation, possibly 30’s to the 50’s where dressing up is a big thing.

I just don’t know if I can survive without my smartphone though, 😀
