Basic Tips to Taking Care of Your Bra

As a woman, bra or brassiere is simply essential for support among its other reasons, however, this seems to be too impossible to take care of and may seem to require special laundry strategy to not ruin the fabric, style or color.

Personally, I hand wash my stuffs along with my working clothes, so, not to be too harsh with the fabric. We have our washing machine though but the stretching and cycling makes my clothes gradually worn out. Thus, the hand wash solves this and this has been my secret over a couple of years. If I am too loaded to do the washing, I let someone do the toil. 

But, brassiere is of different dimension and a special care is indeed required. And, most women may find this quite a problem too. You can try, however, the following tips:

1. If you are using a machine washer, make sure that the  hooks are fasten and the brassieres are set in low setting;

2. It will also protect more your precious stuffs if they are placed in a zip lock net bag, so, you can wash your bra along with other light stuffs like socks, towels and alike. Make sure too that you wash it with stuffs of similar color;

3. If you are to do hand washing, never wrinkle or twist your bra especially if they have padded foams or wires, so, not to deform;

4. Hang dry your bra on a rack or lie flat to further protect it.

The World's Fanciest and Strangest Stadiums

Stadiums are defined as large, usually open structures for sports events with tiered seating for spectators.

And, I was quite amazed to have found strangest and fanciest stadiums worldwide. The picture below is the Munich Olympic Park in Munich, Germany. It is the only one that have held Olympics, the World Cup Final and the European soccer championships final. Frei Otto, architect and structural engineer 's design of the Munich Olympic Park, has contributed significantly in tensile architecture.

If you have a great space for landscape, you can only be creative as to how you want this space maximized. And, if resources are unlimited, you can even be more and more creative.


If I want to maximize the garden space of our lots, I would have placed a pond and fill it with fishes and water plants. The water is believed to give a soothing effect and having a pond in the middle of my garden can be heavenly.

But, I don't want to house it with water pests and dirt. I heard there is a pond skimmer that can be used to clean ponds and hide their pumps.

With space, water, and great landscape, staying at home can be more than just fun.

Lovely Handcrafted Accessories

I love machine – made stuffs but I love handcrafted works more! The reason is simple, the time spent by the artist is more valuable to me that the price tag is always worth it. I pretty love shells, stones, beads, feathers and other natural elements to highlight a piece of artwork.

Normally, we have these stuffs as necklaces, bracelets, earrings, bags, chimes, lamps and chandeliers. These can just make someone special and make any house especially gulf shores condos more homey.

Interior designers and other artists oftentimes mix culture with futuristic theme. It somehow, pays off that people still value the past even through modernized era.
I still sell these handcrafts in the store and I am proud that I get to wear my own collection whenever I like it.

My Dormant House

When I moved to General Santos City last April and began on my new work and new business, I decided to put up a separate house just within the family lot.

My sisters and I agreed that we would make it bigger, so they can have a place to stay while they will be on vacation here in Gensan.

The construction went well. We all agreed on how it should look like and even thought of the kind of equipment and fixtures we should install should this house be finished. Of course, I want my computer, TV and DVD players in my new house. I want a spacious area for dining, sleeping and showering. For one, we need quality showers and Grohe faucets since the water supply here is through pump well.

But, with all the expenses I incur for my schooling and business, I decided to put on hold the construction. It has been like that since November. I really wish, things will lighten up this summer.

Filipino Beliefs and More

Filipinos are liberated although conventional and conservative in many ways. The majority is Christian and religious-oriented. We seem to have celebrated all the canonized saints and name our respective "barangay" or social unit to them. I don't complain at all since I am a Catholic by heart.

One of the strangest beliefs that I grew up believing is that butterflies and moths are reincarnated souls of our beloved. Whenever they get inside the house, we seem to associate them to any dead relative or beloved who simply pay us a visit.

However, as a grown-up woman, I don't believe this anymore. I normally leave them alone but if they stay in our rooms or areas where food are placed, I drive them away. They are known to shorten food life. Thus, I may be needing pantry moth traps that will sure eliminate them in the safest way.

I know my dead beloved are in the sanctuary of our Father. I don't need moths to know that they are there to watch over us.

Bleak Business, Stalled House Construction

Since we decided to move back to my parents' home, my siblings and I made up our mind that we are going to build a separate house within the family compound.

What was supposed to be small residential home became larger than what we originally required. Now, with the tight business and schooling, I put the construction on hold first. The floor and walls were built already but the roof and the divisions will have to be made. Our family fence is made up of concrete with steel gate. Now, I wonder how much would PVC fence be? I really have to work harder in this time of crisis. I decided to stop from my masteral schooling first, so at least, I can prioritize more what are essential needs.
