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

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.

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, 😀

    CarbTrim and Bragg’s Organic Apple Cider Vinegar

    One of the best ways to drink a teaspoon or a tablespoon of Apple Cider Vinegar is to mix this with your regular drink of juice or water. In fact, one of the instructions to having this regularly is to drink a glass of warm water with a T of Apple Cider Vinegar. You can add honey to make the mix sweeter and easier to drink.

    CarbTrim

    Photo posted here.

    This is my way of having a tablespoon or sometimes more, of Bragg’s Organic Apple Cider Vinegar: mix with CarbTrim and add a slice of lemon or navel orange. TIP: slice a lemon or navel orange and put these in the freezer so you do not need to slice every time you need to make these drinks.

    CarbTrim is a carb-blocking product in a refreshing iced tea drink.  It contains Phase 2 white kidney bean, a natural extract clinically-proven to block up to 66% of carbs you eat. ~source

    Two of the many benefits of Bragg’s Organic Apple Cider Vinegar are the following: (Source)

    • Helps control weight
    • Promotes digestion & ph Balance

    Now these two would be great together in losing the weight. We need to remember though to moderate food intake and take one or two kinds of exercise to help lose the unwanted pounds.

    By the way, I won TEN BOXES of CarbTrim through this photo, so go follow CarbTrim on Twitter and who knows, you might also win boxes of CarbTrim like me 😀

    Here are the boxes.
