My First Ever Sympathy Flower Arrangement

It's mom's 40th Day Commemoration and I decided to do the flower arranging myself..of course to save money and so I can personally pick the flowers I want to use. I have gerbera in colors white and yellow..mums and baby's breath and some ferns and leaves for foliage. I hope my mom liked it if she is watching wherever she may be...Rest in Peace mommy, I miss you so much love you!

Here are some photos of the flower arrangements I made for mom.

D'Leonor Hotel and Inland Resort

My sister and her Japanese husband together with their son came home and had a short vacation here in Davao City. She was looking for a hotel to stay overnight and so I suggested the newly opened D'Leonor Hotel. We are impressed with the place and how affordable the prices were for each room. There is a complimentary breakfast for two plus tickets for either zip line or wave pool, of course they chose wave pool. The hotel is inside the theme park, amenities include Mini Zoo, Wishing Well, Basketball, Clubhouse, Food court & Park, Badminton Court, 600 Steps Walk, Zip line, Wave pool and now ATV track. The inland resort is located at Communal, Purok 5, Davao City.

How Essential is Amino Acids to Our Body?

How essential is amino acids to our body? Protein will keep you dynamic and powerful. All individuals who are dynamic like sports players are getting amino acids every day. Would you believe that individuals who want to reduce bodyweight need to take meals with high in amino acids like meat? It is because getting amino acids will cause you to feel complete and dynamic. Protein can be taken as tablets or in meals type like protein bars which are now available in the marketplace.

There are many shops that offer dietary products and you can even purchase them on the internet but what shop has a good reputation? Many shops offer less quality items that you are just spending your money purchasing them. Protein products are required if you are an energetic person.

Anyway before purchasing an item it is better to see what other individuals are saying about their items. Reading an evaluation or recommendations from customers is very essential. These individuals are actually composing what they knowledgeable when using the items.

Cute Nail Art

I got another spare time last night so I decided to give my nails another make-over...I put a sticker at the tip of each finger nails and covered it with silver glitter & colorless nail polish. Isn't it cute?

Justice for Biggel!

I did not expect this though I read a lot of comments from Facebook that there were incidents that Tin Patrimonio's votes has been redirected and were credited to Pamu thus making Tin the second to the last evicted housemate. I've been searching for evidence such as photos to prove the hearsay  not until this photo surfaced and circulated over the internet. Once you voted for a housmate there is a confirmation right after you send your vote , like if you vote for SLATER the confirmation should be like this: "Nakuha namin ang boto mo to save SLATER! Isang beses lang pwedeng bumoto gamit ang sim/number na ito. P2.50/txt."  But in this case,  it's very clear that SLATER's vote has been redirected and was credited to PAMU! If and only if, this photo was not edited.  Tsk tsk if there is any truth behind this very sensitive issue PBB staffs and officials should take action on this.  BIGGEL should have been the first big placer if not because of SLATER's votes that has been credited to PAMU.

Here are some of the user comments I gathered from Facebook: Click the photos below to be able to clearly read the comments.











What can you say? Do you think this is true?  If so, I pity BIGGEL and his family and fans who supported him :(

Ice Giants Madness

After an all day long of malling, strolling  & sight seeing around Davao City, we finally come to an end...time to rest our feet, cool down and chillax! These young ladies are a sucker for ice cream so I decided to bring them to this famous Ice cream parlor called "Ice Giants".  Basically made up of chocolate ice cream, ice and mixtures of marsh mallows, choco sticks and some chocolate candies, more than enough for the five of us, we almost didn't finish it all.

Aliyah's Graduation Dinner @ Punong Restaurant

After the graduation program of my baby girl we dine out and invited some of our closest relatives on both sides. It's been a dream come true for me since I've been dying to go and try the said Seafood restaurant. The place is great and one good thing is, it's not that crowded but you need to have your own vehicle to be able to go there. The only problem we encountered were the mosquitoes and there's lots of them. There really is a need to bring an insect repellent to protect you from mosquito bites. Aside from the mosquitoes, there are no other problems at all. Over all, we had a sumptuous dinner in a price that's just right!
