Manners to learn

The root of exquisite manners is kindness.

*Etiquette is a result of good manners.

• Never interrupt when someone is talking.
• Let someone finish their statements.
• Never monopolize or hijack a conversation.
• Give your full attention when speaking to someone.  Keep your cellphone, it’s respect.
• Never assume.
• Say please and thank you.  Say Hi, Hello, Goodbye.
• Give praise when praise is due.
• Do not stare.
• Do not be a snob.
• Lose that self-consciousness.
• Never talk about money.
• Manners are kindness.  Be kind.
• Never assume you’re well-known.

Will you love the person you will see, if you see you?

Anything you want in love you should have

"Anything you want in love you should have. If you want someone to send you flowers just because it’s Tuesday, you should have that. If you want someone to write you love letters, you should have that. If you want someone who looks at you like the sun rises and sets because of you, you should have that. In life, we often have to settle for 'okay' or 'good enough', love should not be one of those things." 
—c.h. dixon

Quit Cold Turkey!

I agree. ^_^

The Minions

Annoyingly cute!

TheBaikery's Store

Loving the store design.  I quite didn't expect that thebaikery's shop looks this good.  I thought it was only a kiosk somewhere.

My sister is a bread afficionado, she discovered it.  When she brought some at home, we fell in love with their bread, freeeesh, soft, and moist. Plus, the breads are affordable. :)

Peri-peri

Eduardo's peri-peri... sarap and affordable!  I really love chickeeeeen!

Industrial design appeals to me.

MUST TRY for every foodie!

Cut!

We left early at Slim's to go to Greenbelt and window shop! :P  <photo by Jhen>

Endure

Let the process go until your endurance is fully developed, and you will find that you have become men of mature character with no weak spots.  James 1:3-4

LoveStyle: Wear rosier glasses

Appreciating what you have instead of what you lack will create a tremendous change. 

Or maybe, flowers? :)

Tortoise (Shell)

A pasalubong from an officemate, it just made my day.  It's cute. Very!  Ang creative nung gumawa.

Beauty hints at no cost

For wrinkles, try the well-known cream, sweetness of temper. 
It tones up the muscles, reduces wrinkles and is very uplifting.

For the lips, use the marvelous lipstick, silence. 
It is good for the lips that have been distorted by uncharitable gossips.

For lovely hands, there’s only one preparation to use. 
It is called generosity.  Get a large size jar.

For facial tone, expose the face to the morning air between 6-8am. 
The air on the way to mass and church is very refreshing and uplifting.

For clear eyes, try the true and tested protective preparation, modesty.  
For best results, carry it with you wherever you go.

An Ideal Conditioner and Beautifier: Holy Communion

Modesty means absence of self-assertion, arrogance, presumption.  It is being humble.

Relationships aren’t for getting things

Relationships aren’t for getting things.  They are for giving things.  Never be in love to make yourself happy.  Be in love to make the person you’re in love with happy.

Bilog + Polka Dots Sling Bag

When Debenhams is on sale, it is ON SALE!

This is the bilog bag that I wanted months ago and it's on sale and it was the last piece. :)

Kindness to self

 I may have written this two or three years ago,

You give what you have.  If you're kind to yourself, you're kind to others.

Mooooon

"Cooler" Tiendesitas

It's bigger and "cooler."  They've made it air-conditioned.

Going here makes me feel I am in a flea market.

LoveStyle: Sit on the floor

Enjoy and take it easy. :)

Absence

To dream that someone is absent, especially if you expect to find them suggests that you are looking for something that is already lost to you. Alternatively, you may be looking to fill a void in your life. Something is missing from your life. (source: dreammoods)

Geeeeez, I'm drained

Self centered people have only one topic to talk about ... Themselves.

What I have now, I prayed for

A beautiful reminder.

LoveStyle: Drink Turmeric Tea

Take it as your "sleep" tonic.

It is anti-inflammatory, warming, prevents gallstones, 

improves circulation, promotes beautiful skin, reduces itch, reduces cholesterol, 

improves digestion, promotes good deep sleep.  It is surprisingly good.

Peace is!

Care to listen

We talk about ourselves too much that we forget to ask our friend how are you or questions about her.  Or maybe listen to what she would like to say and not cut her off. 

Maybe just like you, she wants someone to listen to her, too.

What Christina Hendricks likes in men

Repeat: Set goals that require faith.

LoveStyle: Relax

Loosen up. Calm down. Mellow out. Breathe easy.

Indulge!

Sooooooo good! ^_^

I need to have faith

Godly goals are set through faith. The Bible says, “Without faith, it is impossible to please God” (Hebrews 11:6a NIV). In order to please God, you must set goals that require faith.

Veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery cute!

Awwwwng cuuuuute

A man who loves my soul

not sure how

It happens to me all the time ^_^ *

LoveStyle: A ready heart
