Hail To the HAUL #2: Quiapo, Manila

So here is my second haul guys. I went to the streets of Quiapo and bought some stuff here and there. mostrly from Wellmanson's. If you're in the place, I suggest you check them out. It's an awesome store for accessories!!




Let's get started!!



I found a fringe holder! so cool right? only 30 pesos and its so cute! Now I can do my make up in peace like youtube gurus....harhar





A ribbon earrings. I removed the dangly part and placed it on another earring hook.VOILA! two earrings in one :)



I was planning to make my own earring with these. unfortunately, I lost the pack full of rings so I have to get another pack. The flat hooks costs 15 pesos per 100pcs and the rings costs 12 pesos per 30 pcs.



This is my favorite purchase of all time! this bracelet is actually deep reddish purple but somehow it looks soo purple here. What i love about these is the snaps, its magnets! cool huh? and the second cool part is that it fits my wrists perfectly! no need to adjust. I have puny wrists that's why its a miracle to find jewelry that fits me. This one costs 30 pesos per piece.





This two antique necklaces are my last purchase of the day. The camera costs 58 pesos at wellmanson's. I love the entricate detail on this one. If you look closely, it has a tripod, a flash thingy and a film. so cool!
the second necklace is an owl. I bought this because it reminds me of our college mascot. The owl symbolizes knowedge. This particuar owl costs 60 pesos.
Looking back at this haul, I find it similar to Trina's haul. She influences me a lot!!
have a nice day everyone!!

Beautiful Encounter #1: God


I just got back from a retreat and I want to blog about this fresh from my life changing trip. Our batch went to Calaruega, Batangas. It is known for retreats and weddings and most of all, IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE.I've never been to a retreat before. Yes, even when I was in 4th year highschool. Since our school is not a Catholic school that is why we never do such things. Although, the school was dominated by Catholics. I, being one of them. We only do recollection before graduating. I was having mixed emotions going to this trip. I even said I don't want to go but God did everything that will make me go on this trip. Here are the things he did:



  1. he included my retreat in my tuition.

  2. convinced my mom to allow me go after much deliberation

  3. got us there safely :)

And I am thankful He did that. It changed my life forever. Here are the things I have realized after retreat:

  1. Nothing in this world is perminent but change. Im graduating soon and fears about Huge change comes my way.

  2. I'm really gonna be GRADUATING! in three months time, Im gonna leave UST. The university that allowed me to be and to dream. The place I've met my friends, classmates and good professors and pretty soon I met gonna see them again or atleast everyday like we used to. Some will migrate and others will be distant. I will never see them regularly. But I know that we will never forget each other for we made a permanent mark on our hearts.

  3. I encountered GOD in Calaruega. He gave me more motivation to face those changes in my life that I know will be hard.



  4. I must change my bad habits now before they turn perminent.



  5. Life is not a buffet. A buffet where you will eat everything you want and can't eat the best food you've ever tasted because you ate too much already. You made bad choices.


  6. You can be friends with priests! Hi father allen and father ziggy!

I hope you friends can visit Calaruega in Batangas and experience the wonderful things that I experienced.



XOXO,
PaolaES
