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.

There goes a saying that the Filipino people love giving
pasalubong (gifts) when they are traveling or returning back from their
country. No matter what there is always something people expect from you even
if you have only been away for a short time.
It is a custom where we always
seem to buy something memorable from our trip. I have relatives that come from
the States and they always have a pasalubong to give me no matter if I am also
from there. To us it is way to show is gratitude to each other.
I have a close friend from the
States she always ask me why I always give her a gift even if it is not her
birthday. I just said, just because I want too. It is not like she is obligated
to give me a gift in return.
We have different means to
express ourselves not by words but to give them something we feel they would
like coming from our home town.
Just like when I travel to
another country I always have something for my employees it just shows
something to them they took care of my family while I was away. They always
seem to look forward in something that you give them. It doesn't necessary have
to be something you need to buy even those freebies you get from the hotel they
are even happy to use the shampoo, soap and etc.
Sometimes the employee teases
me when they know I will be out of town to get a pasalubong. Or I would tease
them back when they go off to a vacation to bring back a pasalubong. Sometimes
they do bring something from their hometown usually if it is provience they
come back with lots of native banana.
Or they bring dried fish or
some sort just to show and share what they have brought from their homeland.
