hi,
is there anything like this going on towards the end of this year ?
im going to manila at about the 28/29th and will stay there for a good week !
i once saw a complete artificial plastic christmas tree in pink (no way to upload a pic here) which was GORGEOUS and so “sick” that it was already a real “beauty”.

Andrea, will definitely be at the Negros Trade Fair on Sept 27 when I get back from a trip — it’s one of my annual favorites!

MM, you might want to check the 28th Negros Trade Fair on September 25 – 29 at the Glorietta Mall Activity Center.

millet, the arnis sticks are nice and straight… but let’s see if they do work or not… otherwise I’ll have to find an alternative use…

oh, i love anything bone china, and those pine cones look very elegant. early December last year i was in legazpi, and a cousin brought me to a town where they make christmas decor the whole year ’round. the variety and prices were amazing; needless to say, i spent more on excess baggage fees than on the items i bought, and i had a modern, all-pinoy theme last christmas.

MM, i got my small rolling pin for P85 at saizen/daiso. those arnis sticks may not be very good for rolling dough as they’re tapered.

I guess the influx of cheap chinese goods have discouraged our local artisans from doing their thing. A shame really since our products have better quality.

I am in love with the bone china pine cones. As a woman driver, I’ve contemplated buying an arnis stick to keep under the driver’s seat for protection. It should work given I don’t encounter a gun weilding carnapper.

I agree with the quality of products being released in the market are
not as good as it was before. One of the things that may impact these kinds of
things is the value of money. Many businessmen would downgrade
their products materials to meet the buying power of the general public.
