We Are Family

Cabinets are essential for keeping your space organized. It provides help in keeping everything in its proper place. It also avoids unnecessary clutter because it keeps the stuff out of sight. Now what may be the best garage storage cabinets that you can have? Wood cabinets are inexpensive but they aren’t durable. Steel cabinets on the other hand are very strong and can carry a lot of weight. However, in due time it will get rusty. Aluminum cabinets won’t rust, but they can get very expensive.

So I guess the cabinet type depends on where you will use it for. In any case these are really essential for creating more space and organizing your stuff.

I got this from our online friend wikipedia

Pasalubong is a Filipino word meaning “souvenir”. In the Philippines it has acquired the meaning of a small gift or souvenir from someone traveling either whilst visiting or upon returning home. The literal meaning of pasalubong is to “greet”, “surprise” or “meet with”.

Pasalubong is very popular among Filipinos if good relations are to be maintained. Pasalubong can range from food items such as fruits, imported confectionery goods and other sweets. Pasalubong can also be other items such as shirts, novelty items, knives and toys etc. If it is something that can be bought or wrapped, it’s a pasalubong. Pasalubong is also used in daily or frequent interactions or greetings with family members commonly when coming home from work. Fastfood, toys, snacks or fruits are given to family members as a sign of thoughtfulness and care to them.”

I personally think that this is a good part of our Filipino culture. It really shows how thoughtful we are to our family and friends that we bring something home to them. This is also the reason why we are known for big Balikbayan boxes. Hahaha!

So where is this post leading to? Hmmm….just thanking my generous sister for the pasalubongs she showered us. Here is what she gave to her nephew who is by the way enjoying it for the past few days.

And here’s for M0rn1ng and I.

Even the littlest pasalubong makes me happy because it shows that we are thought of. So from the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much sis. Mwah!!!!

Geisha has been added to our favorite chocolates list. It was my sister Detch who brought home these delectable treat from Denmark. Actually it is manufactured by a Finnish company called Fazer. Denmark is a neighboring Scandinavian country so it can be bought there too.

The milk chocolate is just right to our taste buds, not too sweet and not too bitter.  It also kinda melts in your mouth.  The hazelnut filling is really wonderful. I love hazelnuts to the max. Anyway, we are trying not to eat too much as we will miss this chocolate once it’s gone. It cannot be bought here and Detch won’t be returning there. So sad! This is the reason why we are trying to make these boxes of chocolates last for a long time. Hahahaha!

I hope these can be ordered online or whatever…these chocolates are so addicting.

They’ve declared October 12 a holiday. I am so happy because that means a long weekend for me next week. So I’m thinking of whether going somewhere save this date to de-clutter our home. Hubby and I would want to get rid of the unused things we have in our veranda. It has been a place to hold our junk at the moment. Once we get to fix it we will have another room to store necessary things. Especially if we have diamond plate cabinets to help us organize our stuff.

It will keep all the clutter away and our veranda will surely look wow!
