New Bling Blings

L ast Sunday I bought a new stud earrings coz I've always wanted a princess cut diamond and it is human nature to want what we don't have. Then last Thursday finally after 3 months of waiting my diamond melee parcel from China arrived!  It is supposed to arrived within a month to 45 days but I noticed that parcels coming from China took a very long time to arrived. I guess it has something to do with the Philippine War On Drugs & that most illegal drug shipments comes from China. But what is even more dissapointing is that this parcel has arrived in Cagayan de Oro last March 23 so if the postman did his job properly this would have arrived less than a month! They probably had a sniffing dog🐕sniff into this parcel and I supposed they opened it & probably wondered if they are polished shabu crystals!

M y first bling bling purchased for 2018! I ordered them via Facebook from a familiar jeweler in Greenhills Shopping Center in San Juan City, Metro Manila & it's on sale for only 100 pesos each! I had my mother picked them up and she asked for a FREEbie and they gave her a lustrous cultured freshwater siopao pearl earrings for FREE! Who doesn't like FREE!? Beautifully packaged and each stones have talismanic metaphysical properties or lucky charms for a Libra born baby like me except for the carnelian which I bought simply because I like the color! As an atheist I don't believe in shit but I believe the magic of these crystals really works! For example I took off the amethyst from the stainless steel genuine leather cord chain & placed it inside my pillow & I had always had a goodnight sleep ever since then even after waking up I still feel sleepy. Finally I have the best cure for my insomia & maybe that's why bedrooms are usuall...
