Food trip: Sour Apple (Santol)

Ang Santol (The Santol). 

I remember asking Eric about  the English name for "Santol", but of course he wasn't also sure about it...haha. Good thing there's Google.

Haul | March 16, 2012 - 578 Emporium Mini Haul

I am not sure if they are using recycled plastic bags but I am sure that I hate how they pack things because I can't reuse them..they shut the plastic's opening completely!

See? Its completely shut! Maybe they are too afraid of shoplifters... >.<

I bought 2 Manila papers (PhP 8.00), 1 small plastic envelope (PhP 15.00), a small pack of buttons (PhP 6.00 for 4 pcs), a strawberry applique (PhP 12.00), and two Lm nai polishes.

New Shop (name)!

Hi there! I finally decided to move out of my shop's previous FB page. EMLS is now known as
Verry Merry!
My reason for moving out? My close friends and acquaintances that are on FB doesn't readily recognize my shop, so I changed its name into something recognizable as mine.
Why not just change the name of the previous shop? Hmmm since FB doesn't allow one to change the username/ the page's URL or so, I decided to create  a new one. Furthermore, I find my old shop's name too foreign-sounding, and a long name for a shop.
What's new to this shop? Of course, new items! Don't worry most items are still available, but I'm still not finished uploading them back. I am also re-grouping/ categorizing the items for customers to browse easily on which albums they like.
BTW, I am planning on having a Thank You Giveaway soon, so please check the page often. Don't forget to visit, and please "Like" us on Facebook. That's it for now. Thanks!

About fires and of hopes and dreams turned into ashes

July 16 2008

April 17 2011


I feel like I have lost it. Do you know how it feels to lost everything...the second time?
I'm 20 years old but unlike other people of my age I have been a victim of fire twice...
On July 16, 2008 the boarding house was burned down but I didn't felt then that I was a victim. It almost felt like everyone is helpful and kind. Seem that nightmare didn't happened. I felt fine; I recovered from it.
Now, a few years after, at exactly 6pm our house was burned down. Good thing my mother and my siblings weren't hurt. But Kitkit wasn't fortunate...the poor cat was toasted while our house was burning. Along with him died our hopes...our dreams...how will we ever get through this mess?

Mama...I miss you..and I miss our home...

Random things I bought today after a stressful exam (sometimes I just can't help my self).

Bought some stuffs at our downtown area... *puff* 

I broke my promise that I will be a wise spender! T_T 

I was so upset earlier that I wasn't able to resist window shopping...

I eventually bought some stuffs. (*sorry*)

The following are the things I bought:

2 nail polishes, Caronia (P54.50)

1 round hairbrush, Paganini (P47.75)

1 rat tail comb, Hong Xing (P19.95)

3 cards of black hair pins, Flower Brand (P9.95)

2 packs of clear elastic bands, TPU Brand (P10.00)

2 sets of multi-colored ponytail bands (P15.00)

1 transparent bag (P19.95)

slim blue metal(?) headband (P20.00)

 slim blue metal(?) headband

sa bangketa ni manang, labas ng Gaisano Capital

(*maganda yung nilalako niyang retro shades, tsk.

Sayang nga eh from P70 pwede raw P60 na lang.*)

from P19.95 to P15.00 and that's 2 sets! 

I've been disappointed with this one though...

the zipper broke after  my first attempt to close it.

Plus, the zipper itself is not well made! tsk..

*Golden Sun - P27.75

*Tahiti Brown - P26.75

**From Gaisano Capital except the slim headband**

P175.1+P20.00=P195.1

Oh, btw, the ribbon wasn't bought but I brought it with me anyway..hehehe. Their Department store has a lot of ribbon fall-offs from their clips.

Souveneir! =p
