These are a few of my favorite things #3

1. Bedazzled Pumps - made by my shobe

1. Bedazzled Pumps- Came home one day to find this pair of pumps in our living room. It looked like something that one of the witches in The Wizard of Oz would wear. Turns out my little sister upcycled a pair of her old black pumps and came up with a pair of these purple showstoppers. ;) Oh, the things she'll do when she's bored.

Magnolia Ice Cream House is open once again! *updated*

As I was looking around the newly opened mall in our area I went out on their third floor veranda enjoying the view. I first I noticed the playful fountains at the left side, the lush green grassy area in the middle, and just at the edge at the right side of the outdoor park area... I couldn't believe what I saw. It was a sight to behold. :)

Do you feel entitled?

Do you put yourself first? Do you notice the efforts of people who take care of you? Do you assume people need to listen to you? Do you feel the need to blame others for the misfortune that comes into your life?


I was reading a story on my FB page and reposted it for you to read, hope you enjoy reading it too.

What to do: Aftermath of the Flood

Just reposting tips for cleanup and what to do after the floods. Hope this helps.

AFTER THE FLOOD
http://www.okeechobeeeoc.com/floodtips.htm

• Test drinking water for potability; wells should be pumped out and the water tested before drinking.
• Do not use fresh food that has come in contact with flood waters.
• Restrict children from playing in flooded areas. Hidden sharp objects and open storm drains are safety hazards. If kids do play in standing water, bathe them as soon as possible and watch for signs of infection or disease.
  

Saizen Daiso August 2012 Sale

http://www.frannywanny.com/2010/08/shopping-challenge-at-saizen.html

Saizen translates to "best choice" in Japan. Offers authentic Daiso Products , fun and funky stationeries, toys, lifestyle items, quality fashion and apparel, home decors, Japanese interiors and ceramics, practical and functional household items, kitchenware, home improvement, gardening tools and pet accessories.

I love this store, as it offers fun & unique items from Japan. They offer quirky, cute, useful knick-knacks for the pinoy household, in Japanese the word would be "Kawaii!" They made buying at their store easy for us by placing the prices of their items at Php 85 or Php 55. When you enter the store for the first time it's a must to start from one end of the store to the other; making sure you pass every aisle, nook, and cranny. You'll be amazed at the surprises that you will find there. I can spend hours just looking around there choosing my armful of things that I want to buy. They have interesting selections on household items and what-nots that you'll ever need in the cutest forms.

Flood Safety and Survival Tips

In light of the recent flood situation in our country I can't help but feel helpless and useless sitting at home, knowing that I am just blogging at the comforts of my home, high and dry. But was cheered up and invigorated after reading Patty Laurel's post of "More Than Just Rain" (excerpt below).
