A World Treasure

There are many world treasures that located in the famous museums in different countries around the world. Some popular world treasures are dinosaur bones, Egyptian mummies and Faberge eggs.

As we know, dinosaurs habited the earth millions of years ago and as I know, there are 3 theories that support the facts of their extinction. Up to this time, there are discoveries of dinosaur bones proving that they used to live here on earth. 

Egyptian mummies became more famous and well-known when it was featured in the movie “The Mummy” starred Brendan Frazer. Mummification is an act of preserving the corpse and it was practiced thousands of years ago and up to this time, preserved mummies are still in some popular museums in Europe, America and Asia.   

Finally, Faberge eggs are also known as world treasure because it took part between 1885 and 1917, and only famous and powerful people have the right to own them like Queen Elizabeth I of England. In  Russia, Easter is the most joyful celebration of the Orthodox faith. After the devout church services, families gather to exchange gifts of decorated eggs, symbols of renewed life and hope. The Easter of 1885 also marks the twentieth anniversary of Czar Alexander III and Czarina Maria Fedorovna, and the Czar needs an exceptional gift for his wife. So he places an order with a young jeweler, Peter Carl Fabergé, whose beautiful creations have recently caught Maria's eye. That was the start of Faberge egg.

Now I’m glad because I have found faberge egg for sale. Whoa! I want to buy my girlfriend Faberge eggs as gift to her for her birthday.

Walking to Divisoria Street

 Divisoria is the “bargain” capital of the Philippines; it is located in the city of Manila. Divisoria has been the shopping capital of the Philippines since the Japanese occupation. Until now, it serves as the shopping district to people in all walks of life. Even the former first lady Imelda Marcos went there to buy fancy jewelleries; bracelets, rings, earrings and necklaces with faberge pendants. 

Well, I and my girlfriend love to walk to Divisoria to shop for clothes, shoes and fruits. Filipino-Chinese business people are the usual stall owners in there. Most of the products are made in China that you can buy for very affordable price. Some things that we see in Divisoria (like picture frames, wall clocks, kitchen utensils etc.) are also the ones that we see in the mall being sold for higher prices. That is the reason why many people choose to shop in Divisoria rather than in the malls. Guys, if you have free time, you can also visit Divisoria.

The Functions of Bathrooms

A bathroom is a room that can have different functions depending on the culture of the place. Bathroom means “room with a bath”. These are the things that we can see in the bathrooms; bathtubs, showers, steam showers, sink or lavatory and a bidet. People in the United States connotes bathroom as “a room containing a lavatory”. In other countries, bathroom is called toilet, or water closet. In the Philippines we call it “banyo” “toilet” or “CR” (short for comfort room). 

No matter how beautiful or classy your bathroom is, if it has poor plumbing then it is not worth it. Functional bathrooms should be accompanied with a good plumbing system. As you can see in the picture above, our bathroom is equipped with simple bowl, shower and lavatory but it has excellent plumbing system; Plumbing Tacoma can provide that for you. If you have problems with your bathroom and kitchen plumbing system, if you have clogged sink or rusting pipes, Plumbers Tacoma can take care of those. No need to worry because in just a phone call, they are there to rescue.

While Travelling

It’s nice to travel especially in the morning when the sun is about to shine. I sometimes come back to my hometown every Saturday morning. I usually ride on a van or bus and sit beside the window where I can see the beautiful view of the nature; the air is refreshing and the fog is cold. A good thing about riding on the bus is, it is more comfortable. Of course, the windows are bigger and the area is more spacious. Van is also good but it has less space rather than bus. One time I noticed the van owner where I’m riding uses Mitsubishi Evo; it looks great. Well, when I got home, I recommended it to my uncle.   

Lovers in the Mountains

I call my sister Uching and her boyfriend “lovers in the mountains” because they always go to the mountains when they have free time. My cousin said that they are both nature lovers. Truly, it’s nice to appreciate nature especially when you are in the mountains. I think mountain climbing is a very nice hobby or should I say, past time. I always see in Uching’s Facebook albums their newly-uploaded pictures fresh from the mountains almost twice a month. Wow, I also want to join them when I’m not busy with my work and studies. However, engaging into mountain climbing has also disadvantages aside from the dangers in the way. Having dried and cracked hair and dark and rough skin are just some. Because of that, Uching prefers to buy different products of dermalogica day bright. Uching is a vain person that’s why she feels frustrated when she sees a single pimple on her face, or cracked hair, or darkened skin. She really enjoys using dermalogica day bright everyday.      

Choosing a New Home

What are your qualifications in choosing a new home? When you ask me about my own qualifications, of course I consider the location. Firstly, your house should be accessible to the public market or mall. Food and clothes are basic necessities and we should live near them. Secondly, education is one of the most important tools to live a good life so our house should be near the schools and universities. Thirdly, we work in order to sustain all our daily and future needs so out house should be near your workplace, or at least accessible in terms of transportation. Lastly, we need to have entertainment and leisure in life so our place or community should be near to parks, resorts, sports and recreation areas and so on. 

To summarize them, we have to choose a better place and best house and Katy Houses for Sale is perfect for you. Our home is part of our life so why not invest for your future by buying a new home?

My Series of Sneezing

I sneeze while I write this post (sobs) because my allergic rhinitis strikes again. I think this is because of my pillow made from a velvety-like cloth. I actually don’t like that kind of cloth since my sinus is sensitive to fiber. I went to the doctor two years ago and he found out that I have allergic rhinitis. He advised me to stay away from allergens such as smoke, dust, pollen (from flowers) and fiber. When allergy strikes, it feels like you have clogged nose, irritated eyes and swollen sinus that takes a long time to heal.  The most difficult part here my series of sneezing. I sneeze almost fifteen times every hour which is inconvenient especially if you are in the office. When I go home, I will dump my pillow to the trash can because I will find a new one like hypoallergenic pillows that can prevent my allergic rhinitis from attacking.

This hypoallergenic pillow has many great features like antimicrobial and fiber-proof ticking to keep out dust mites. Furthermore, this pillow is absolutely washable and dryable so you can get rid of allergy. Whoa! I can’t wait to buy one.
