Nokia 3310 (2G; Dark Blue)

Yup I just had to get one for myself!

Iconic Statement Socks (Limited Edition UAAP; U.P. Fighting Maroons)

Iconic Statement Socks just came out with their limited edition UAAP socks! And Of course I grabbed a pair that showcased my Uni!

St. Benedict Medal (A Birthday Gift)

A friend went on a recent climb on Mt. Cristobal in Quezon Province. And he got me a birthday gift there; another amulet (of sorts).

Duo Sarika Amulet (An Early Birthday Gift)

I got an early birthday gift from a friend who recently visited Bangkok. She knows how much I like and collect quirky and esoteric things; so when she saw this in one of the temples she visited, she knew I would like it, and I do!

NepaCrafts (Tibetan Om Mani Padme Hum Copper Bracelet)

As I have mentioned before I am a massive fan of indigenous trinkets. I am also a fan of alternative healing methods. So imagine my happy face when I found a trinket that married those two things I am a massive fan of (another plus is that it celebrates my Buddhist belief and faith).?!

I found an online shop (from Kathmandu, Nepal) that sells that exact thing (the online shop being NepaCrafts and the thing being a Tibetan Om Mani Padme Hum Copper Bracelet).

SoYoung Insulated Linen Lunch Box (Blue T-Rex)

I was gift hunting at National Bookstore (a local Filipino bookstore) for something useful for my nephew, and stumbled on these cute, quirky and eco-friendly lunch boxes. So what started out as a gift for my nephew, ended up becoming a gift for myself to (I needed a new lunch box too anyway; or at least that's my excuse for getting one for myself too).

Nawa: T'boli Bangles (for a Good Cause)

I am a massive fan of indigenous art and culture (trinkets, jewelry and accessories included). So when I saw a post on Facebook that celebrated T'boli art through a simple brass bangle, I knew I just had to get my hands on one!
