Christmas lanterns made of recyclable materials

I visited a friend at University of the Immaculate Conception (UIC), Bonifacio campus before having my Christmas vacation and I was really impressed by the lanterns they decorated in their building. It was made of recyclable materials like plastic bottles of soft drinks, caps, indigenous materials. Here are photos of it....

A Christmas decor made of coke caps

Here is a star made of cellophane with the Belen at the center


A star made of empty bottles of C2


Another star made of used plastic coke cups w/ the Philippine flag at the center

One way of taking care of Mother Earth is to reuse, recycle whatever materials that are still usable. We just have to be resourceful and creative. Especially in this time that global warming is already alarming. We can do our share in preserving our environment and make it livable for the next generation to come. We can do it!

Charms and crystals

Do you like wearing blingblings and bangles? In this time when the year is about to end and a new year is just few sleeps away from now, wearing charms and crystals that are believed to bring good luck to the wearer is in:). Last week, I have visited SM Davao and in the entrance there's a display of these charms and crystals.

An array of Charms and some items that will bring good luck for the year 2010

Year 2010 is year of the metal dragon

Eat all you can at Tita D's

Food tripping is what we usually do during December. I have been hearing about Tita D's Buffet from my workmates. They said the food is great, eat all you can for only Php99.00 excluding drinks. They have been there recently but me and hubby did not go with them because we had a "date" of our own during that time. When I told hubby about it, he right away agreed with me to have a lunch there because he has an overtime (OT) pay anyway.LOL. So it's his treat :).

They also cater and accept functions for weddings, birthdays, etc. They have a space upstairs. We were rally stuffed when we got out of Tita D's:). Tita D's is located at Iñigo St., (formerly Anda St.,) Davao City.
