Bag Tags by Buckingham Embroidery

Every time we travel, I make sure to place a ribbon or some sort of marker on our bags to differentiate it from other bags. As we all know, luggages seem to all look like the one you have! So to make things easier - and to not make the mistake of getting a bag that is not ours - there's a ribbon and a bag tag.

Last year, since we travelled quite a number of time, I went to the mall and had bag tags made. All I could find was the the card type bag tag. To be honest, it was quite pricey - I remember paying Php150.00 for each bag tag.

But after just one use, one of the tags cracked and was bent. I assumed as much because the card type is quite delicate and brittle. We had to *remedy* the bag tags, put tape on it even if it looks silly. I mean I wanted my Php150.00 to last me a while, diba?

After 5 trips, the bag tags looked so kawawa. I honestly didn't want to use them anymore but what was I do to. I didn't want to have new ones made because I knew they're get broken again. But during this recent trip to Hong Kong, we - I decided, to heck with it. I need to have one made.

It was a wonderful thing that a post popped up in my Facebook feed. It was a business post of a bag tag! It was a different kind of bag tag - as the name would be embroidered on it. There were so many choices in *lace* color and color of thread to be used to embroider the name.

To be honest, the transaction went very fast. I sent a private message over to them with the color of the lace and the embroider. I explained that I only wanted our surnames to be embroidered, but they need to be spaced well since it's just four (4) characters long. There was a discount given, I placed an order of 6 pieces (I honestly wanted more but I wanted to try it out first). I made a promise to deposit the payment and have it picked up.

And then I forgot about it. Hahaha!! I seriously forgot that I needed to deposit the payment. It was only after a few days, that Lilia (the owner) posted the finished product that it dawned on me that I needed to deposit the payment! I apologized and thanked her so many times for making it even if she hasn't received the payment yet! Since I haven't paid, I asked how much it was to be shipped and I just added that amount to the total. I made sure to deposit it right before picking Connor up from school.

So, these tags arrived yesterday:

They're just perfect. The won't bend or break, well unless forcibly cut. They won't crack not peel off! They will just get dirtied, but you can wash them, diba??

The size is perfect too. It's seven (7) inches length, material is sturdy, best of all it's super visible to the eye! I was very happy with the turnout of this online buy. I plan to buy more! Well, it gave me an idea to make these tags for my kids!

I got these from Lilia, she owns Buckingham Embroidery. Please do check out their Facebook Page - Buckingham Embroidery. They also have an Instagram account, but they don't post often. Lilia answers queries fast. They do all sorts of embroideries on anything. Check their page out!

I bought these tags for P90.00 each. Not bad right? Shipping was an additional P60.00

I really really really love them!! :)

Thanks Lilia for posting online. Glad I saw your post! Hihi.. :)

ANSON SUPERMARKET - Grocery delivery!!

Sharing is caring, so we can't keep it a secret any longer. THIS is where we get out groceries! Well, Anson Supermarket has been where we have been purchasing all of our kids' diapers! From Kailee to Connor to Shobe! Yes, yes, yes! A week into the lockdown, it just occurred to us that we can get our groceries from them - but then we thought, we didn't want to force them to do it - after all it's a different time now. But when we asked and they said yes, it was like we won the lottery. We sent out our list - a very VERY SPECIFIC list and voila after a day or two (we weren't in a rush) they told us to schedule a pick up. Please remember that I am sharing this with you guys because I believe so much in the saying 'sharing is caring'. Please be mindful of your language and respect those who will call or message you about your orders. Also note that some items might NOT be available - so manage your expectations. They're a full functioning

#CookingQuest: Winter Melon Soup ala Didi #EnhancedCommunity

One of the things that gets ooohs and aaaahs in a chinese restaurant is the #WinterMelonSoup. You may ask why? Well because with this soup, restaurants use the winter melon itself as a huge bowl to serve the soup! It's a sight to see as you'll be amazed how they were able to pull it off. You'll see the whole winter melon, and then suddenly they're take out the top part and when you peek in, the soup is inside together with meat bits and other veggies! My mom has tried it at home, and I remember her being nervous that the winter melon doesn't break apart, kunde sira ang presentation! So during this #EnhancedCommunityQuarantine, I chanced upon Theo's Farm that they have winter melon, so I ordered. When I saw it - I knew I wouldn't be able to pull off the carving and serving the winter melon. It actually made the preparation easier. I had to ask my mom, and she told me to steam the winter melon to soften it. Honestly, I don't think I can w

#CookingQuest: Chicken Stir Fry

When I was little, I used to see my mom, guama and aunt cook in the kitchen. I found it amazing, that they have this idea in their heads on what to cook for us. I remember my guama had small bits of plastic that when opened contained shirmp and cooked pork fat. I asked her what it was for, and she told me that it was to add 'flavor' to the dish whatever it was. I don't remember seeing her look at any cook book or a paper with recipe. She just whipped them all up! When I got older, I became interested in baking - baking because I was afraid of splattering oil. So I stuck to baking for a while. It was only when I got married that I had to dive in and cook. When my Panget and I were newly married, we didn't have a helper during the weekend, so I had to step up. There were times that we didn't have a helper at all (we borrowed my mom's helper to clean), so I had to do all the cooking. It was there that I learned to whip something up with just ing
