What if a simple TikTok find could make your Christmas extra magical? Discover the surprise that Carmina uncovered!

Christmas to other people may seem faraway yet in Carmina's world it comes early preparing ahead of time. Carmina had received her boxes that she had shipped out from her California vacation. Carmina's family had given her some stuff to give away for Christmas. Carmina started thinking how she would like to pack her upcoming Christmas gifts. I wanted to do something different this coming year rather wrap it up wanted to make look special. Long time ago Carmina use to make loot bags when came home from vacation giving my co-workers and friends some goodies.

I came across from Christmas loot bags from  Little Emily Shop  TikTok Shop. I had asked the seller if you can pick the color and design was told it i...

Loot Bag

When I had arrived back to Manila and I was unpacking my belongings separate the ones that need to be washed. I had separated the shampoo, conditioner, bath wash soap, body lotion, soap, brewed coffee, sugar packs and tea bags that were given by the hotel during my stay. Each day my room was cleaned and they had replenished my supply I kept it to accumulate. I have sixteen employees who work for my parent in-law’s business and every time I come back from my trip I make sure I have something to give to them that looks like a loot bag of goodies. Funny Story: I gave four employee’s their loot bags that had either one tube of shampoo, hand lotion, chocolates, wafer cookies, brewed coffee with sugar pack and hard candies at night before I was going to sleep. Morning came and I went downstairs Manang V had informed me a funny incident that had happened to her last night when I had given her the loot bags. Manang V said, she didn’t really pay any attentio...

Reaching Out

On the plane I was watching Gilmore Girl’s One Year Television Series my all-time favorite show I realize how much a mother and daughter relationship they have together. I am thankful I have that kind of relationship with my mom this was the first time my mom and I didn’t argue or fight during our recent trip. My mom became expressing to me telling me what Yann is going through that I need to be there for her even if it means she had made a bad decision in her life. It was her choice and even if she is suffering making the wrong choice we can’t scold and question her surrounding because she is no longer a child. People make the wrong decision in life when they are desperate and feel so helpless. People fall in a trap feeling there is something there when in reality our brain has made it seem it real but only a fantasy. People fall to believe the past relationship and his family will fall back in place how it use to be even promised they have made. In real...

Funny Story: My mom told me last night she was craving for kissadilla at first I couldn't understand what she was telling us. Than I remember there are some words she cannot pronouce propertly. She said, it is Mexican food that is in a tortilla with cheese and sometimes there is meat inside. I told my mom the word is quesdilla not kissadilla. It sounds like she wants to kiss someone. 😘 Steak Quesdilla I was craving for chicken enchillada to get something close to it I got the soup version.

Day 6: Time to say good bye to Sydney, Australia

Staying in InterContinental was a good experience everything was all walking distance and it is not hard remembering where you need to go and come back to the hotel. I had test my mom to see if she would remember herself going back to our room as we kept going out and returning.
