I love metal buildings that have great designs but I also love old concrete ones, especially those that “tell” stories.
Churches are a particular interest I like to take photos of or visit, if given the chance. These structures have been witness to many joyous events as well as sad ones. The walls have echoed silent tears of happiness and joy as well as grief and sadness.
Do you have a favorite church? Why do you like it?
Ipanema recently opened a branch called Sandalias in SM Lucena
Ipanema is a fashionable and hip Brazilian flip-flop brand. The store features the latest collection from last year’s Philippine Fashion Week alongside Ipanema Women’s and Men’s Collection, Kids line as well as Gisele Bundchen collection.
It’s nice to find something for the family members in specialty stores like Sandalias, especially with summer just a few months away.
I’m sure husbands and children will enjoy browsing their own flip flops in this store after accompanying mom who shopped for porcelain switch plates.
The “SANDALIAS” store exclusively selling Ipanema flip flops is located at the ground floor of SM City Lucena.

I got a new pair of Reebok ActiveVibe rubber shoes last year at the Reebok Store in TriNoma. 25% off was just the right motivation to finally convince me to get an upgrade.
The hubby heaved a sign of relief when I finally chose a new pair: Pink and Gray Reebok ActiveVibe. Why? I’m finally retiring that old pair that I’ve bashed, abused and used till it was pathetic to look at 
I love how it fits my feet and how comfortable it feels when I walk. I haven’t tried running in these yet, as if I run. So there goes the clue as to how I have been keeping fit. Not!
This pair was worth every penny, I must say and that’s coming from a penny-pinching mom
And for those who know me well, they know for sure I am not fond of fuchsia pink but this one is an exception because it goes well with gray.
Now to plan on what to do to put this to good use 
Price after 25% markdown: Php2, 696. 25
Do you believe in magic, witches and wishing on a rainbow? Do you want to see magical creatures? You can do all these and more at The Wonka Imaginarium, Atrium, EDSA Shangri-la Plaza from December 1 till December 4 which is made possible by our favorite candy store, Candy Corner.
The Wonka Imaginarium is inspired by Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. If you haven’t read the book nor seen the movie, I suggest you do that
When you look up and see these train, ice cream and peppermint candies ceiling festive decorations, you are near The Wonka Imaginarium.
When you see this fountain, you are there.
Purchase at least PhP100 worth of candies like Laffy Taffy, Nerds, Runts and Gobstopper plus so much more at the Wonka Imaginarium store or at Candy Corner’s Shangri-la Plaza store to get a Golden Ticket.
Be amazed at larger than life 3D art installations when you enter the Wonka doors:
A big pot of candies! Yey!
Grasshoppper!
Ladybug
Giant Mushrooms!
Details on The Wonka Imaginarium display.
Enter this magical door while the Talking Tree and a pink Laffy Taffy in person assist you and your friends:
Don’t panic! This is going to be fun, I promise!
Wow, it is a different world in here!
You’ll get to meet a beautiful witch when you pass through that cosmic world and…
it is a surprise happy ending and you’ll get to know what happens next when you go see The Wonka Imaginarium with your children.
Nature Republic, Korea’s famous cosmetic store recently opened its third branch in the Philippines when it inaugurated Nature Republic at Ground Floor, Main Building at SM City Fairview last November 11, 2011.
Ms Marjorie Lee and Mr Tad Huang for the ribbon-cutting ceremony of Nature Republic SM Fairview store blessing and opening.
The two other stores are the flagship outlet at Festival Supermall in Alabang and Nature Republic SM North EDSA, The Block.
What sets Nature Republic apart from other cosmetic companies is that uses state-of-the-art facilities for their products that use the most natural ingredients for world-class and superior quality products. These are incorporated in different Nature Republic products: Blue Lagoon water from Polynesia; Glacial Water from the Alps; Deep Sea Water from Greenland; Ocean Area Pine Tree from France; Hawaiian Hibiscus; Madagascar Butdelria; Morocco Monoi; gold Caviar; North American Kawai; and other similarly exotic and efficacious extracts and substances
The price range is good because most of the products are affordable starting from PhP60 – Php300. There are pricier products that range from PhP1,000 – PhP2,500 or thereabouts.
Jang Geun Suk (JGS or Sukkie) is Nature Republic’s major endorser. *hears shrieks*
Here are some of the products that can be bought at Nature Republic stores:
Sheets or Facial Masks
Nail Polish
Body Wash
Skin Care for Men
Aloe Vera Gel ( I bought a jar and the kids love it, so does my feet )
Best Seller Items
Lip Colors
Facial Colors
Skin Care
One can spend a lot of time (and money too, LOL) inside this store. After the doors were opened to the public, so many people went inside to buy stuff.
I did too! I got several items that I am currently using: Aloe Vera Gel and Cheek/Lip tint 
As I was going through my trinkets the other day, I picked up the many pieces that make up my Bracelet a Breloques. I love my trinkets which are mostly cutesy bracelets and earrings. Of course, diamond rings would be great but I can’t wear these when I ride the train when I go to work,
I remember I wrote a post about it so I tried to go look for the post in the archives. I was surprised that there’s a number 7 in the “Share in Facebook” button because I remembered that I did not share this post using that button.
Wheee! It feels good that there were people who shared this post. Thank you, thank you! I hope you shared it because you liked it
