All Flip-Flops at SM City Davao

I’m giddy excited because All Flip-Flops just opened a branch at SM City Davao. There are already countless stores and shops that sell Havaianas here in Davao but most of those are far from where I live. SM Davao, on the other hand, is a stone’s throw away from where I live.

Shoppingera Got Soul

The other weekend I was at a mall for a wedding meeting, and I walked inside one of my favorite boutiques, Soul. I love Soul’s merchandise but I rarely shop there because most of their stuff are for partying and I rarely party. But there was a sale that weekend and Soul’s salesladies/fashion advisers were so damn good at convincing me so I tried out some clothes and liked one.

Cleaning and Organizing Stuff

My landlady was very, very, very nice to clean up my room for me. And now I have the urge to be obsessive compulsive (OC) about my stuff and how I organize them. So in the past week, I have been buying plastic containers, hangers, a hamper, and even a new garbage can. I have also been cleaning out my old storage units — plastic drawers, containers, baskets — so I can organize my things better.

In the process of cleaning up, I realized that I own too many bags and shoes that I don’t use anymore. And since I have lost some weight (but gained a few back already), I am now the owner of a big box of clothes that don’t fit me anymore.

My Davao Shirt

As a speaker invited to speak in behalf of Davao and Mindanao bloggers during iBlog 4: The Philippine Blogging Summit, I spent quite some time thinking what I could wear to the event. As a speaker, I should wear something respectable, and as a representative of Davao, I should wear something “Davao.”

Shemagh, Keffiyeh, Shmagh, or Yashmag


Image by Brian Bonguyan

My cousin’s girlfriend works as a flight attendant for an airline based in Middle East. One of the things my cousin asked as pasalubong is a Shemagh. HUWHAT? A Shemagh (also called a Keffiyeh, Shmagh, or Yashmag) is a cloth used as a traditional headdress of Arab men. My cousin wanted one to use for his Airsoft activities.
