DIY: Seashell Necklace

Just because we went to the beach this summer I thought it would be nice to create something that would remind me of the place and the happy experience we had.

Fortunately, I had collected a few memorabilia.

Shells!!!

Part 1: Iloilo Mini Vacation

As promised here's a glimpse on my family's mini vacation at Iloilo...

We spent the last week of April at my grandparents' house on my dad's side at Pili, Ajuy, Iloilo located on the western part of the Visayas region of the Philippines.

We had a great time there. It's really fun to be with the whole family (buong angkan) again. And as a "pasalubong" I grabbed some photos so you can see them.

DIY: Polka dots shorts

It's Summer still so why don't you grab your old jeans and scissors and make a cute short to brag about.

 I made my do-it-yourself polka dots shorts before our Iloilo escapade so I thought I'd post it first before my blog about our trip.

Polka dots shorts are IN and without further ado, here's a quick DIY for summer!

What you need:
Old jeans
Scissors
Fabric Paint Pens (I used Leeho Fabric Paint Pens which you can purchase on any National Bookstore here in the Philippines)

The Unforgettables

The beautiful view of the islands while sailing to Mindoro and the quiet roads to Iloilo city really amazed me. 

The glittering water and the freshest seafoods I'd ever tasted.

Have you ever tried eating what Ilonggos called "bay-ad"? It's a flat shell that's so yummy especially when grilled. And how about a grilled crab after a  long swim?

Running on rice fields is so much fun especially when the air smells like grass and Carabaos.

We planned to visit the ever famous "Bora" again but unfortunately that didn't happen. Luckily we caught some of the hot vibes of Boracay through our lenses. 

More to come!
