Uncommongoods.com: handmade, recycled,organic
Don't know if it's a boon or a bane that online shopping exemplifies our borderless world. These days, it doesn't anymore matter if that coat or bag you fancy is in Shanghai or New York.

There is a snowballing move - with the imprimatur of Malacanang itself - to accredit bloggers for the all-important coverage of President Duterte's activities and of course, the Presidency itself. For an old-time blogger like me who's been in the industry for 12 or so years, this is an historic move which shouldn't be ignored and should elicit the cooperation of dear blogging colleagues. We know how disparate and independent we are but for this one time, we should band together for the long-term survival of our ... Continue Reading...
