Happy Holidays ❄️

We have a cat named Lanie (but he’s a male cat) he was named by his original mom who took care of him for 10 years. Then he has been fostered in cat center for nearly a year before we found and fostered him. After 6months, we adopted him and he’s living with us for 22months now ☺️ 🐱 😽😻 and oh we named him Happy.
In short, he was my inspiration in making this artwork - Christmas cards 😻
DISCLAIMER: Yes, I took inspirations of naughty cats in instagram, pinterest and google 😊 for the design and style. I love all of them! But I made them based on my own style and skills so I hope you guys like it!

A glimpse to our humble home in Philippines 🧡💛🧡
The story behind it - we were choosing between 120 sqm floor house and 40 sqm, and we chose the latter. Why?
✔️ we can extend the house anytime (it has bigger lot)
✔️ we barely use the space as we live in as of the moment
✔️ going for a bigger house, we would have had to borrow some money
✔️ we help the ‘kids’ to borrow our house so they don’t have to rent a space ❤️ while studying or working in the city

Al Seef Dubai | Cinematic Vlog

*Unable to go abroad, explore the close by.*

You need not board a plane to go exploring. Sometimes a simple cab ride can take you new places. Places unknown and of great beauty.

Our destination for weekend exploration was Al Seef by Meraas near the Dubai Creek. A wonderfully peaceful place were the old heritage of the region meets modern consumerism. A walk in Al Seef takes you back to a time almost forgotten. And yet the might yachts keeps you anchored in the present time. A place of contrast. But also magnificent views.
We’ve been here many times but never got a chance to film it so Rose decided to film our trip with her IPHONE 11.
We hope you enjoy taking the trip with us.

Is snowy Armenia worth exploring? And what if you are by yourself?

Rose set out on a three-day adventure to find out, travelling alone from Dubai to Armenia. This travel vlog covers how to get off to a great start, meet new people along the way and make the most of touring around the capital, Yerevan.

If you're Filipino currently in Philippines, you'll also learn about the visa requirements, a full cost breakdown flying from Manila, and how it compares to Europe.

And from then ( from April 10,2020) going forward, I promised myself to be more conscious *than I already am* on buying clothes from fast fashion brands that are either low quality or unethically produced.

✨In this video, I tried to mix and match my wardrobe from 2015 - 2019 spring collections from various fast fashion brands.

*How's your coffee*
This video is not made, and please do not use, to send hates to these celebrities appeared on this video. The comments on this video was made objectively based on the decision made by these celebrities by promoting unethical products. And no, they are NOT uneducated people to not know that the products that they are promoting has a big negative impact on the environment. I won't buy it if they'll say it's an honest mistake. It's not. Because it would be hypocritical as they are supporting 'environmental solutions'.

Sugar is addictive and while your favorite celebrities making themselves fit, you are consuming the product (in this video:coffee) that making you fat and diabetic.
