My other entry about still beautiful trash can be found here.
Manila Bay is said to be a place where magnificent sunsets can be seen. I have not been there for that particular time of day though.
When we went to visit the place a few months ago, we were disappointed to see trash, especially plastic bags, disposable cups and plastic bottles thrown IN the water.
With summer currently happening, it is no wonder that a lot of people are planing on Florida vacations.
Water fun is at its best with swimming, snorkeling, surfing and other water sports.
However, it is important to be able to protect the skin from over-exposure. Bringing and using lots of sun protection is a must and so is hydration to prevent dehydration. Yes, drink lots of water and juices during summer.
Above all, have safe fun 🙂
Shopping for clothes is a retail therapy that women, or men, will not say “no” to. To think that the garments factory is one of the lucrative businesses around is proof that people like to buy clothes.
Do you know that there are clothes that can be bought in bulk? I have not heard about wholesale clothes and this idea seem fresh to me. This reminds me of clothes being sold in “ukay-ukay” shops where bundles of clothes can be sold: from tops to shoes.
I have several tops and shorts that I got from an ukay-ukay store nearby 🙂
*ukay-ukay means to dig, literally means to dig through piles of used clothes
Succulent lechon ribs can be had over here at the home of Lasang Pinoy Sundays 🙂
For the juicy = succulent combination, here is fresh pineapple for a lot of nutritional love:
Why settle for something that came from a can loaded wth sugars when you can have it natural and fresh?
“Mabuhay!” means “Live long and prosper” which is what Filipinos greet their visitors. To you, I present the country’s flag.
The Philippine flag underwent several transformations through the years. A brief history of the present flag can be found here.
The blue stands for peace, truth and justice. The red for patriotism, valor and courage. The white for purity and equality.
The three stars symbolize the three big island groups namely Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.
The sun with eight rays represents the first eight provinces who fought in the revolution against Spain which has ruled the country for more than 300 years.
The country went through many challenges and at present, we still are undergoing a lot of political turmoil from leaders who do not represent the symbolism of the flag and it seems that what our forefathers have fought and died for is still not clear amongst self-serving people.
By the way, fun hand-made Oceania flags are in an entry here.
Whenever my mother-in-law take vacations in the US, she brings home boxes upon boxes of thingamajigs that she buys during yard sale.
Her boxes has, among other things, a small chain saw (I wonder how this passed customs, lol!), candelabras, books, bags, toys for the grandchildren, area rugs, crystal bottles, condiments containers, silverware baskets, and other knick-knacks that catches her fancy.
She has sent several boxes while she was there. She brought one or two when she came home. And still, the boxes keep coming.
Most of the things in it are for her home down south which I am featuring below:
Pardon the clutter, the grandchildren were staying with her when this photo was taken by my eldest daughter.
