Carmina's quest for the perfect display for her treasured mementos led her to an extraordinary find

Carmina was looking for the best way to hang treasured pictures and mementos from a keepsake. I felt it was time to bring them out and display them on my wall. I saw many options, from cork boards to felt boards , but I didn’t want an ordinary board hanging there. I wanted it to be part of my wall décor, placed above my desk where I sit daily—something I could look up at and be reminded of past travels and accomplishments. Some people keep them in photo albums or store them digitally, but I wanted mine on display. What caught my eye from an ordinary felt board something had a roof which remind me a house. The best part it is light weight and it has a mount tape in the back attached to the felt board included was thumb tacks and something else where can decorate. Carmina had purchased the three dimensions roof felt board wall self-adhesive retro premium wall decoration message measurement of 60x80 cm in color camel for 875.00 pesos ($14.34) not including shipping and handling.

Korean Way of Eating

As we watch our Korean drama what we see often them eating in a restaurant where they grill up their own food on a hot grill. This is a very popular trend any where in different countries. In the Philippines we have places where you can grill up your own meal with your family and friends. The only sad part the lines are sometimes really long when you decide to eat in this kind of places. There are branches spread out in the Philippines. When my niece and nephew we're in town they wanted to eat this with their cousin. The place is all you can eat for the price of PHP 499.00 ($10.00) was worth the price for the teenagers. They we're able to fill up a big appetite. This is their menu you get to pick six kinds of side dish with unlimited rice, vegetables and gochujang jjigae that comes to your table. Drinks and other items are extra charge. They give you a variety of side dishes with your meal. To full to smile Note: Carmina...

Grape Vine

So many things happen in one day and you don't know where to start. You hear things from other people, but uncertain the story they share is really true. You wonder and think ahead other people just let it slide and not think about it. You wonder if the person is just playing mind games to make you think less of yourself. We live in the world when people talk in front or back of you. You may be the same or not. Either way you are there is always someone who does it without you knowing until you hear it from the grape vines. Some people cope with anger and trying to figure who started the whole story. Some people say bad things about another person they are hurt of someone spreading a story about themselves. Some people lie and say the story is not true. To me if the story is not true to you why worry about it and make a big deal. If, it is true confront that person you may think who has spread that rumor. Either way when we live in a life of...

Coffee Lover

I am a coffee person, but I prefer drinking the ones made in Malaysia, Singapore or other Asia Countries.  I always buy my coffee through Shopee. There are a lot of seller that have reasonable prices. I will share you products I have already tried and who knows you will also like it too. I don't like strong coffee. I am more on the sweet side. I don't like sticking to one flavor or one brand. I like to explore and try new coffee and see which ones are the best for me. I love coffee that has hazelnut. I was told hazelnut is good for your health. Hazelnut's benefits : It contains the following : Vitamin E Protein Fiber         Just like anyone else we drink milk tea, but once I drink the one from Mc Donald's for some reason I can't seem to sleep from too much caffeine. I feel like I am zombie and so wide awake.
