The week in stuff
An elaborately decorated zippered pouch that we bought at the souvenir tiangge in Puerto Princesa for 90 pesos, now doing service as our phone case.
Funny earrings we made out of Solane LPG keychains, zero pesos. Our friend required our presence at a media lunch to introduce the LPG provider Solane’s gas-tight safety cap and seal, tamper-proof for auto/shut-off valves. The safety cap completely plugs the gas to prevent leaks. We could’ve used these at our high school chem lab, which always had a whiff of gas early in the morning. (Ah, fond memories of hair burning in bunsen burner flames. Not ours, of course.)
The Simpsons 25th anniversary Moleskine notebook, Php1495 at National Bookstores. We like the yellow version better, but that one has lined paper.
Box of artisanal chocolate made in Padova, from Villa del Conte, with stores at Greenbelt 5, Shangri-la Mall, Resorts World, Alabang Town Center, and Robinson’s Magnolia. We would buy it just for the beautiful box with the Wes Anderson movie palette. The Forrest Gump line about chocolate is wrong. If life were this box of chocolate, everything would be wonderful. For bulk orders of Villa del Conte chocolate, contact (02) 893 2575 or 621-6101.
Blue zippered bag in handwoven tepiña fabric, with wooden bird carving, Php160 at Rurungan sa Tubod Foundation in Puerto Princesa. Their number is 0917 851 4081.
Basket with handwoven tepiña fabric handles makes a lovely book carrier.
Also from Rurungan sa Tubod Foundation, Php300.
Leo attended the Osaka Film Festival with Instant Mommy and got us these fabulous eyeglass frames in velour. Thank you!
