But I see Peanuts

-


The Hot Peanut Cart, which can be seen in practically every corner and every barangay in Manila and the Philippines for that matter, is an example of the unique English of the Filipinos and the "gaya-gaya" culture.

In case you are wondering where General Trias City is found, it is located in Cavite, and is one of the progressive towns in the province.  It is but a stone's throw away from the CEPZA (Cavite Export Processing Zone) In fact, due to many constructions and developments around the area, traffic has become horrendous.  What used to be a sluggish town has become a bustling area.  The influx of businesses catering to Korean tourists also contributed to the sudden economic surge in the area. In case you will find yourself in the area, here are 5 things you can do: 1.  Visit and Pray at St. Francis of Assisi Parish Church: There are many St. Francis of Assisi Parish Churches in the Philippines.  I can name at least 3.  But this is a historical church and is one of the oldest churches in the province of Cavite.  This church is admired for its attractive architecture and religious significance .

I used to be one of the throngs of women who would painstakingly spend hours just to achieve well-defined brows.   The effort that goes into creating perfect brows is such that when we finally have done them perfectly, we feel very proud.  And we become prouder even if our friends compliment us about it.  A pair of great eyebrows, alluring lips,  pinkish cheeks, subtly-shaded eyes, make a good made up face and who doesn't want it?  After four scores and more, my struggle with creating the perfect eyebrows whenever I apply make up is now a thing of the past because after my microshading and strokes under the cosmetic tattoo specialist of The Brow Studio , I could wake up looking like Julia Barretto and when I look into the mirror, I feel 5 years younger.    Like you, I am curious as to what this technology is:  How is it done and is it painful?  Well, microblading is just one of the many forms of semi-permanent tattoo.  I...
