Accents for your Neck

My parents used to run a jewelry repair shop. I remember browsing through hundreds of catalogue pages displaying expensive trinkets and earmarked some I fancied.

A woman’s jewelry box is not complete without a diamond pendant on a thin chain or maybe a string of pearls. This strand of South Sea Pearl is such a keeper.



Nowadays, when gold and pearls seems so expensive, we can opt for more affordable swarovski crystals or semi-precious stones.

Palawan Day 1 – Lunch at Bilao’t Palayok

I have to leave my camera at the hotel, nadrain kasi yung battery so nagcharge muna ako. So no pictures here. The place was oozing with smell of floor wax, quite a turn off really. I was bent on eating here for I’ve read a review that their food tastes better than Ka Lui, though the latter just have a better ambiance. Despite the smell, I took a seat and picked one of their budget meals consisting of chicken inasal, java rice and atsara for only P59 and settled for a green mango shake priced at P40. Meanwhile, hubby ordered sinigang na hipon served in a continuously heated palayok. First bite of my inasal, I imagined this is what the original tastes like in bacolod and I must’ve teleported there somehow hehe hubby naman was satisfied with his order, the shrimp’s meat kinda semi-sweet with it’s freshness contrasting to the sourness of the soup. Syempre, nakitikim ako ng Strawberry Shake nya and made a mental note to order it next time.
