GENTLE REMINDERS FOR YOU: Always tell the truth. Work hard. Keep your promises. Try new things. DOn't whine. Laugh out loud. Always say "I love you." Use kind words. Do your best. Be grateful and be kind. Be proud of yourself. Say "please and thank you". REMEMBER YOU ARE LOVED!

So much decor, oh, so little time.

Your cafe or restaurant can use some of these decors.

When you want to add "super" accents to your home, you may actually choose from so many decors available here.

I guess these are good pieces for a resto, not a house. I think so haha.

I was actually surprised to see so many decors in my life HAHA. If it weren't for my newlywed couple friends I wouldn't be out here doing' shoppin' lol.

I like this cutesy lamp-like thingy.

Choose your House Rules above!

It is indeed a "home sweet home" with our loved ones.

This photo reminds me of the "House with Clocks on Its Walls".

They're servin' some icy and frosty Christmas, y'all.

I dunno but if you have these clocks at home maybe you'll never be late lol.

We have so little time as human beings but do we even spend our time wisely and conscientiously?

Anything with "coffee" will always catch my attention.😅

More signage? Yes, please!

Beach Bums gather here! Beach: Sand, Surf, Sun~

On the way home, the sunset has once again caught my attention.

The photo may not be crisp as I was in a moving vehicle when this was taken but JUST LOOK AT THAT ~still a beauty even though it's a bit blurry💜

~oh, the sky~

On the way home....I had to document the "traffic jam" in Manila. HUHU IT IS SO, SO REAL.

Okay *drum rolls, please! Chadaannn~!! The Christmas Tree and all its decors were from Dapitan Arcade.

BACKSTORY:
In 2018, I was so privileged and very blessed to be able to fly to Manila a lot of times for work (which I will share in my future posts, as I dubbed on the title here: "Manila Diaries").
When I get the chance, I do a "side-bit" trip, and this on the post today is one of those many side-bit trips😅. My great friend-and-big sister from another mother, Miss Jasmin, asked me to help her and her husband pick out decorations for Christmas 2018, and of course, I immediately said YES!!
It was my first time going to Dapitan Arcade and I was overwhelmed with so much stuff you can buy at such affordable prices. It was as if my mind was blown. I've been to many markets here in Cebu but it was a first to go to a huge market dedicated to home stuff at such cheap rates hehe. I hope to go back there whenever it is safe to travel to Manila again. 🙏

‘Til the next post, hivers! Remember that you are loved beyond borders and beyond time & space. Okay? Okay. 💛❤️

Ciao for now! 🤗🥰
