Exactly just what I needed. I have been going about this year with passion projects here and there. Not just this year. Throw in last year as well, or the year before that. I find myself judging myself because of these wonderful Passion projects. Am I not focused enough? Should I not be a master of 1? Oh! And where are the billions that came along with my wonderful creativity amazing brain?<br />
<br />
It must be because I'm turning 30. It could be because I've been watching TV again. For whatever it is, this video came in timely! A real gem for Jacks and Janes like me. Thank you for the honesty, the truth, the beautiful story, and for the FULL story!<br />

My son had his eyes on this vendor's "goods". We ended up buying a green chick. It won't stop chirping. My son loves it so much he named it "BOO BOO CHICKEN". </div>

It was just so Asian chic! Lo & behold! Google led me to You Tube, and scarf tutorial magic happened!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Ladies, this is worth watching! My mom's closet carries lots of scarves in all shapes and colors. I had to find a chic way to use them, and tadaaaa! This video is the answer to scarf boringness. Reminds me of how pretty Taiwanese women would walk down the streets of Taipei with all their lovely scarves worn with so much panache! I'm promising to try one of these soon!<br />
<br />
I never understood how women could spend thousands for a scarf and use them like they were "bimpos" around their necks. This tutorial can make any cheap piece of cloth look chic around your neck. Well not "any" or not on anyone still (lol) but yeah… something to that effect...<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">When my mom bought me an underwater pink camera years back, I proclaimed to the world that I would swim with whale sharks. Of course when you talk too much, less action is done. So this 2014, we made a decision on a whim to head over to Oslob. Everything fell into place. Extremely grateful as well that after hearing sad stories about how the whale sharks were used to monetize the town, improvements have actually taken place. They all work together now to keep these gentle giants coming. A great adventure for the family, paired up with a relaxed weekend resort hopping experience is what we got. So here's a quick how to on how to head to Oslob for those who would want to...just do it!:) </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div>
1. Fly in via Dumagete (if you're coming from Manila). Flights are usually cheaper and travel is shorter than going back and forth from Cebu. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
2. From the airport, take a tricycle for Php150 to Sibulan port. If you wish to stay in Dumagete, our trike driver, <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Kuya George</span><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); color: black;"><a href="tel:09269072597" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);" x-apple-data-detectors-result="0" x-apple-data-detectors-type="telephone" x-apple-data-detectors="true">09269072597</a>, has a great contact with some good resorts around. The ride will take around 20min. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
3. From Sibulan port, buy your boat tickets to Liloan, around Php45 for adults and Php25 children. That's for a pump boat. Fast crafts are just for Php10 more. Either way, they're both good to use with almost the same amount of time to get to the other island. </div>

<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
3. Prepare your coins. <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"> Php2.00 is collected for each pax as a toll upon arriving. Php5.00 if you need to use the toilet is collected as well :D</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">4. Hire </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">a trike again to take you to Oslob. It should cost you around Php300 for around 30min. </span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">5. Make sure to arrive before 12noon. They stop the tour after 1230pm. Feeding stops and Whale Sharks leave after that. We paid Php1,200 for 3 pax. Foreigners usually pay a little more. This fee is if you'll opt to swim. A cheaper rate is given if you'll just stay inside the boat. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">You'll be given a little briefing first before heading out to the whale sharks. Make sure to pack light since a lot of traveling will be happening. Leave your thingswith either the tricycle driver or ask for a room where you could keep your stuff. Remember, no sunscreen if you'll be swimming with the Butandings. Simple showers are available outside for some quick cleaning up. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">6. You may choose to stay in Dumagete and explore more. I hear Apo island is a wonderful place to go to as well. You may also book a resort in Sumilon island for some glamping moments, or head out to Cebu like we did. If Cebu is your choice of destination, you could take a bus after the swim for Php150/pax. Bus arrives every 15min and may take around 3-4hrs. Our trike driver knew a seaman who had a comfy 4x2 and who was willing to take us to Cebu for 3.5k. Not bad at all! Private vans usually cost around 6k to head to Cebu. Our gracious driver brought his wife along for the ride and we were able to make comfortable stops along the way whenever we wanted to. </span></div>

My suggestion is to take a flight back to Manila via Cebu. After the tiring swim, a good beach trip in Cebu would be awesome. My personal picks are Shangrila Mactan for a very very very good family R&R, as they are well equipped with kiddy stuff all around the resort. Movepick Hotel for a cool ambiance, perfect for younger ones out to enjoy and have fun. Plantation bay may not have a wonderful beach to boot, but service is priceless and Mogambo Spa is always amazing! Cheaper than Chi but hella good too! Of course there are other cheaper city hotels & resorts around (e.g Imperial (great for kids), Be resorts, Island stay, Crown Regency etc etc). Choose depending who you're with and what you need from a vacation. This is the reason I keep coming back to Cebu. It has endless possibilities for a vacation. There's always never enough time to explore and enjoy Cebu. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anyhoo...My say, have a weekend or 4days/3nights package mixed with roughing it out the 1st or until the 2nd day in Dumagete, then head over to Cebu to relax and unwind. Oh... And whatever you do, if you plan to swim with the whale sharks, don't forget to bring an underwater camera:) </div>

It doesn't excite me like how it excites other women. I spend good money on others, experiences, wonderful service, & good food, more than shoes, clothes, & bags. Maybe because I grew up with a Grandma & Mom who shopped well for me. Maybe because I grew up being happy with my sister's hand-me-downs and mom's vintage stuff. Regardless, I'm happy my credit card is not tied to things and I'm proud to say, this hasn't impaired my fashion sense.

The other side of Boracay known for its beautiful sunrise. We wanted to catch a banca that would go fishing so we could hopefully join them & see fishermen live in action. However, all the excitement for some local feel left us as soon as we arrived. What greeted us were cigarette butts all over the sand, trash here and there. There's no need to take a picture of it. Wouldn't want to be the cause of bad PR. Hopefully, someone could just do something about it. If (environment-friendly) rules were able to be set for the stations in front, why not for Bulabog and the entire Boracay island as well?

I've always wanted to have a backyard party for my son. It just seems cooler and a lot more fun. Then I came across "Messy Parties" online. Oh the joy & excitement it brought to me! See most of us were taught that "messy" is just downright wrong. I knew it would post a challenge to get the kids to warm up to all the icky & yucky goo I plan to have. Then again, kids will be kids. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I highly suggest having goo' old fashion backyard parties. If you could make it a "messy" one then all the better. This one is good for grown ups too by the way:) </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
HOW TO, WHAT TO, NEED TO:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
1. A backyard, garden, front lawn, or any other (safe) outdoor home space is needed of course. It could be your space or a friend's who's (REALLY) nice enough to let you ruin their garden. The grassy areas tend to be the safer choice. Having a pool posts more hazard threats but adds to the fun. No, I'm not making you choose between fun & safety here, but please take note of things like this. </div>

2. Decor is a must! No kid wants to feel like they were dragged out of their home to just be at someone else's home. Yes, "homey" is the key, but it still is a kiddy party! We used banderitas, colored paper, printed and stuck Gavin's pictures to form a huge number 3 which served as greeting wall too, ( it was my little cute alien's 3rd year on Earth). We covered tables with random printed cloth and Manila paper. We even had an edible Jello aquarium center piece (homemade by Twinkle Ferarren) :). </div>

3. In our city,most party guests are used to being spoiled by a hired party host . I had wonderful SPIT friends hosting 3 games but I wanted them to enjoy the party as well. So the rest of the time, kids were made to explore on their own. We had stations just to guide people. "Grub Station", "Goo Station", "Clean up Station" ( water hose and an empty plastic pool), "Art Station", "Bubble Station" and even a sign to lead people to potty areas. </div>

4. Ah! The Games! Relay games with slides, improvised tunnels, pool filled with homemade goo, gunk, and more!

5. Add the DIY touch as much as your sanity and time can allow you to! We made party hats by folding colored papers into two and sticking the ends together. Snip the top part halfway and create slits for that crown effect. Add beads, shells, and ribbons for decor. Don't forget to punch holes on each side for the ribbons/garter! We made a lot and left them as decor on the table as well. Spent hours making a lot of these while cursing Martha Stewart, but they turned out to be the cutest add-on of the party! :)<br />

Mom was still with us. It was a beautiful Sunday. Mom was playing with Dad, throwing paper over his head and having fun with Gavin. I could remember her telling me to straighten my back and fix my posture, us taking pictures, and her smiling. It's been a year since that wonderful moment.<br />
<br />
This Easter, we decided to stay home. We all painted eggs in funny ways. I also hid the eggs in the garden, which Gavin earned Php60.00 for finding all five. I'm not sure how that amount was divided per egg found, but he earned it anyways and placed 3 of each 20 Peso bill in his red gas tank bank. We stayed home because we were tired from being in Subic the day before. We stayed home because it saved us time and money. We stayed home because I wanted something new and sweet for Gavin, a good memory, just like what mom left us.<br />
<br />
Below are our painted eggs. It's actually fun! Easter Sunday 2012 went good. Hope was in the air.<br />

Who does anyways? Ever since I've experienced it, life has never been the same. I could still damn remember how I was loudly whispering in the ER, "I believe in miracles", saying it one million times, expecting that the lifeline would change and a cough or jerk would happen. My heart still jumps out of my chest whenever I remember that moment.<br />

3 months and not a day goes by without me yearning for her. She was so damn beautiful. Always have been, always will. I saw greatness and lived with it everyday. And guess what? There is no greatness without a hint of insanity. You would need to be partly insane to make great things happen. She always drove me nuts, but it always came with jaw dropping brilliance as well. Beauty & Brains are the deadliest weapons of all time.<br />

Even Jesus did. The question would always be, what happens to life after death? Her life, and ours. That crappy word called "cope", wow! It is what it is. She would always tell me "Life is fair. We all have 24 hours in a day. It is up to us to use it". Well, I've been coping with my hours. My 24 fair hours have been traded to tweeeentyfoooourhooours stretched to its maximum potential. Every word she spoke, every smile she gave, and every memory she lent me, I damn love. I did not get anywhere with this, and I probably won't. One thing's for sure though, you'll go through it too. Other's and your's. You'll find yourself talking to yourself and trying to make sense while coming up with plenty of non-sense. Ay! There's the rub ika nga.<br />

I love airplanes! Every ride is a joy! Being up amidst clouds, served by a smiling stewardess, and just literally away from earthly concerns for a few hours, is a little piece of heaven for me. I savor every plane ride I get. If only I could have ridden more flights with my father as the captain. Regardless, every plane ride is a joy. The occasional turbulence that wakes your senses and makes you feel more human the stronger it gets. The system that goes behind the precise service of what seemingly looks easy. The magic that each Pilot does every take off and landing. Ahhh... truly a mini piece of heaven in a jumbo jet!<br />
<br />
Now, i'm no jet-setter, only a jet-lover. With the times that I get to travel, whether for work or for experience, I make it sure to plan my plane ride by stocking it with books, magazines, my journal, and a pen. Not to mention allotted time for in-flight movies, documentaries, and a little bit of milk tea sipping. When the stewardess asks "Coffee? Tea?", I'm the one that says "Yes. Tea please, with extra cream and sugar" . In-flight Milk Tea.<br />
<br />
<br />
For this ride, I got to do all that is stated above including watching a dramatic Hollywood movie (One Night) and a wonderful Picasso documentary. I enjoyed my KE flight, although I'm really a China Airlines and Eva Air baby.<br />

First, due to technicality reasons, and second, due to a tsunami warning. When it finally pulled through with a date worth working on, there was no looking back as we headed up. It turned out to be more than an adventure tour. The food offerings were just too great to pass on as well. From the halo halo vendor to the wonderful Pinakbet pizza, we were sold. Of course the main highlight was just what we expected. Sand-boarding rush! Add to that our wonderful 4x4 driver that spun us around the dunes making sure that it was a joy/scream fest/messy ride for us!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Paoay, Laoag, Vigan, and Pagudpud were worth the trip. Be sure to pack some patience and be prepared to ( literally ) eat dust . Patience, for the long ride to make it the roadtrip it truly was, and a bit of guts to eat, tour, surf the sand, and swim in cold waves as well. We had a 2yr old and a 4yr old with us who had both of that! It was then I came to realize what Vich really was about. It's not a business, neither is it a creed. Vich Addventures was exactly what I could not find myself. There's no need to expound on this. Just try it! Live an ultimate weekend and you'll know what I mean!</div><br />

Mainit daw, so I decided to paint waves and and an electric fan. I only had a canvas and a watercolor set. I found a broken glass frame and used it as my paint palette and an old make up brush to use for painting. It's not done though. I still plan to put torn pieces of a map and my dad's drawings (He sketched some stuff on the paper placemat at Chef's Table and I kept it) on the side to give it texture. I'm no surfer, but those waves are pretty cool don't you think? I was inspired by a Japanese artist. Hindi sa mahangin ako, but I'm pretty stoked with what I did for just an hour :D Sunday well spent!<br />

I'm alive and kicking still. I kid you not. Last year was a training ground for life's disaster and I'm proud to say I've learn to breath even in barely breathable ones. I will not take credit for any of it though. Of course my parents have much to do about saving a sinking ship. My husband abs-olutely turned into my Hercules (carrying a ref 12 floors down). Gavin most definitely led the pack to a more hopeful perspective on things. God and all that jazz was always forgiving of my queries and merciful despite my unholy thoughts (Eeeeep! I just had one right now again!). </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Now that a perfect ten has been replaced by drumsticks, it only means it's time to rock n' roll. I've decided to roll with the punches and be a rockstar while doing so. I promise to take it easy on myself while I push hard on myself <--- grey areas are the new painting of the town red kind of thing huh? And speaking of red ( I'm sorry Ms. Eala for starting my sentence with a conjunction), it's Chinese New year in a few. Second chances are made real by a another calendar (2 new years in a year---AWESOME). So no excuses. Ever since I was told by my dear sister to bite the bullet, I've been spitting out slugs (Pistol lang kasi) and using gun powder for make up. Every morning I wake up to my very own not so blackboard and read the mantra while having my fattening (I gained 10lbs. after learning to eat my breaky) breakfast...</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I've also had melt of cheese and heart as I started the year by saying "hello" to someone I use to despise. Somehow the universe conspires and repeats itself, which only means that I guested in a show and this victim was made to face a previous assailant who by the way acted nonchalant about everything. After all, it were years ago, who could blame the guy. So I sat as a juror and put on that smile. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Thankfully, I've learned to be thankful of everything still. Thank you.... Thank you... The little cute blessings of meeting and having speaking lines with John Lloydy Cruz ( be thankful even for the most jolog things). The big blessings of having wonderful travels and adventures (Be thankful for what scares you and opens your eyes). The amazing blessing of life, living people, and of this world (Be thankful for people around you and that your not dead or killed yet). Thank you... Thank you... </span></div><br />

I just finished a weird ordeal of having to explain to people that I was not some girl in some ugly picture. This year, after getting to move out and slowly designing our own place and loving the view and space that we have, the unthinkable (yes,unthinkable because who would have damn guessed it) happens. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br />
</span> </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span">2 weeks ago, a couple of people started to dig up in front of the condo. They were noisy alright but that was fine. We started to smell gas here and there and dismissed it. Until the "STRICTLY NO SMOKING" signs were put up on the elevators, see now that was alarming especially for my Vee. </span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span"> This was taken last week from our windows. The same area </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span"> now as been excavated almost fully.</span></span><br />

</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span">To cut the tedious progress of this horrible experience, there was a need to evacuate. EVACUATE- a word I only hear in the news when a volcano erupts. I was in my ticketing class (which sucks as well) as I received several text messages from people saying " hope ur ok... saw the news..." I was panicking because Gavin was still in the condo with yaya and they were not picking up my calls. My driver and I speeded and when I got to the condo, there was a media frenzy in the lobby together with the firetrucks. Awesome. I went up and was just happy to see Gavin and yaya reading Goodnight Moon. Then after trying to get some answers from the admin, the announcement came. Evacuate the building. Gosh. Where do I start? Ironically,we took as much as we could, leaving as much as we had. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br />
</span> </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span">We still have plenty of our wonderful and important stuff in the condo. We'll need to rush them out bit by bit. Ref, sofa, tvs, furnitures, paintings, my clothes, antiques, etc. who needs to go to the gym? I really thought that condo was a good catch. Similar to a chick going to a public school, only to realize she speaks good English and has good breeding after all, that condo served as well. Memories abound in that little piece of home of ours. </span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span">So now the order is final. Say goodbye to 1208 and we must start making a miracle by getting a new place asap while praying really hard that as we retrieve our stuff out, the building does not blow up with us in it or even near it. Aren't you reminded of Quad (I grew up to know it as that)/ Glorietta blowing up a few years back because of gas leakage as well? </span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span">As I read and see the news </span></span><a href="http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/nation/metro-manila/07/22/10/binay-orders-makati-condo-closed-due-gas-leak"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span">http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/nation/metro-manila/07/22/10/binay-orders-makati-condo-closed-due-gas-leak</span></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span"> I hope the company responsible or whoever is acts on it asap. There are other homes and offices nearby. I really think instead of denying, why not just turn off the freaking source of the gas first! To our dear government , I'm sure human lives are worth more than the millions you get from pumping gas to gas stations. </span></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It's always nice to be on top of things. In this case to be on top of Luzon's highest mountain. We took Camp 3 (Saddle Site) and darkness caught up with us. I could feel everyone wanting to push me over for taking the longer, harder trail... but it somehow paid off. We had the awesome view of the full moon on our right and the sun setting on our left. And might I add the main course, sea of clouds! That's what I call priceless! VR almost fell off the mountain, and he would have been the first "Tanga" of Pulag" (no death has ever been recorded from climbing Pulag). Tito Jun, our 60+ year old first time climber, was truly an inspiration. I could not sit my freezing ass when the man would be in front of all of us giving his very all to this hike. Sustagen Prime anyone? To all our VICHES that day... Thank you for taking this journey and getting high with us last January 2010!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

It gives the feeling of completeness to my day’s outfit. As the New Year came, I decided to have my watches all tuned up and fixed. I didn’t make it to the store I usually go to so I ended up running to Powerplant mall, remembering that a watch store resides by Rustan’s supermarket. I luckily made it a few minutes before closing and was able to get 13 watches of my 20 plus watches fixed (or so I thought). The rest of my watches were quoted a P9,000 estimation for several fixing that it supposedly needed. I’m no watchman so I took everything that the (crook) “expert” advised me. However, I did figure out that P9,000 was a bit to steep for my mere Gucci, Lancaster, Guy Larachoche etc. watches, considering that he couldn’t explain to me fully what the damage were. Upon paying P3,000.00 for the other 13 watches, I managed to put my biggest smile to the owner and watchman and greeted them a Happy New Year! <br /><br />A week after I decided to head to my watch store in Glorietta, taking all my watches with me for a check. To cut the long story short, I found out that the watch store in Powerplant played the nastiest trick on my tick-tocks! All the batteries that they changed were already old and leaking. This would have caused my watches more damage. They also loosened the batteries of my other watches so as to cause it to stop and make me believe that there was more than battery changing that was needed. Lastly, they tinkered with my other watches (that I did not have them fix because of the crazy P9,000.00 bill!) and pulled a few screws here and there. By some struck of fate, a woman in my trusted watch store overheard my conversation and mentioned that she was crazily billed as well by the store in Rockwell that’s why she decided to head to Glorietta instead. <br /><br /><br />I was fuming! Messing with the insides of my watches is a serious offense and an indecent touch! Those watch-Rapists! VR and I headed straight to Powerplant and started talking to the storeowner. At first, the woman pretended to be an employee, until one of the staff squealed that she was the owner. The watchman seemed so confident despite the evidence, forcing me to believe that he truly had the backing of the woman owner. They tried to haggle with me, but I wanted the full amount back. After which, they took my “proof” for the crookedness they did (too long to explain what it is) and that’s when they returned to me the full P3,000.00. I did report their modus-operandi (always wanted to use that word hahah!) to the admin. However, they were consigned under Rustan’s supermarket. This insane story is actually longer and crazier, but the point is… BEWARE of those crazy crooks! I always considered watchmen and their skill to be art, until this. Only time will tell until those &$@#!$&*@ get what they deserve but I sure hope it happens sooner than later.UltimateVichhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07968428386099159046noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4203758987244478760.post-872083182635349222010-01-09T00:37:00.000-08:002010-01-09T01:01:40.843-08:00"Home green Home"<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#009900;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#009900;">I'm happy to have survived the holidays that were. Imagine crusting with a big first time move to live on your own. Filled with a warm arrival from my sister and her family from Atlanta. Mix in the big decision of not having a maid, topped off with no time to shop and wrap for gifts (thus, our newspaper wrappers). My little cherry on the pie was a simple, loving Christmas and a calm and hopeful New Year. A big toast to all as I blend my homemade lemongrass juice!:) As I have slightly decided to go semi-green, I realized that this decision was coupled with a few pains, and yet earthly gains. As of the moment, I'm on the search for my own homemade all around cleaner. This means vinegar (Datu Puti in our country), baking soda, Dr. Bronner's and grapefruit essential oil shaking in one bottle spritzer right?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC0000;">So as I ultimately start the year with the hue of Luntian and begin ventures that have been delayed in flight... let me share my little homemade felt Christmas tree.
