Want to restore a 40-year-old decoration to its former glory? Try these simple, safe cleaning tricks that won’t damage the finish.

Have you ever seen a decoration your parents kept, carrying it with them from another country or a previous marriage? Carmina realized that parents often hold onto items they've purchased in the past. While browsing Greenhill's shopping center, she stepped into  Mystic Gems by Bensani and saw so many nostalgic items that reminded her of growing up.  I pointed out to Mom Violy that she had a similar crystal tree decoration at home. She said it was forty years old and already dirty. The saleslady explained it could be cleaned easily with soap and water. Carmina decided to take Mom Violy home and bring the crystal tree decoration with her. Mom Violy questioned why she was taking it, and I said I would clean it and return it.  I noticed Mom Violy had placed planting seeds inside the decoration, for reasons I didn’t understand. Before cleaning it, I checked online to see what was needed, knowing its value. I placed a towel underneath, prepared a plastic container with dishwas...

Dawg's Gourmet Sausages

Carmina felt like eating some hotdog sandwiches for her Saturday merienda which we call it a snack. So often we try to look for food that you are accustomed to eating back home in California where you find places to purchase your meals. The best part living in the Philippines you have the opportunity to try new food and explore within you're reaching while the food expenses are in pesos not in dollars the currency in the States. Anyone who is earning any type of currency can purchase food easily and find it inexpensive when you buy food in the Philippines. The value of your money can bring you a long way to feed a whole family. I came across from Grab Food is Dawg's Gourmet Sausages that is located in Marikina, Philippines.

Today in the evening a family member was requesting to eat Oyakodon in restaurant that we normally order from the problem it was already late in the evening. It is difficult to find the right place when the time is not appropriate while most Japanese restaurants we're closed or soon to close not giving enough to chose. I didn't want to rush myself. I found Osaka Cafe that had the Oyakodon Rice Bowl PHP 139.00 ($2.78). The remaining family member decided to eat their favorite that is common to serve in a Japanese restaurant chicken teriyaki. In Osaka Cafe their menu is Boneless Chicken Teriyaki, but it is not what you call Chicken Teriyaki that you normally eat in Japanese Restaurant. The reason why I say this because it is not grilled chicken teriyaki it is breaded just like your eating chicken katsu that just has ...
