Aloha Hawaii!

Here’s what I got as an addition to our growing keychains collection…

Souvenirs from Hawaii (Hawaii Island Shirt and Keychains)

Ate Irma sent us a box of goodies over last week, it includes presents from their recent trip to Hawaii late last July. The usual, we got packed treats, shirts, sweets, kid’s vitamins and DH’s medical supplies.

(Blackmores Macu-Vision and sugar balance, Centrum for Adults and Kids, Nature’s own fish oil supplement, Cenovis garlic supplement, Accu-Check Performa Glucose test strips)

What are the kids up to over the long weekend?

Cartoon marathon and a messy toys around the room! Been hearing non stop the minions song from the little boy too.. I’ve had so much from this. I don’t really know how many times they’ve watched this last weekend. Ahaha!

Australian Souvenirs and Collectibles

7 / 26 / 13

I have this long overdue PB (photo book) project that I really want to start with and finish as soon as possible to avail free credits in Artscow. The husband went to Australia two years ago and he filled our 4GB memory card with tons of photo memories from that trip 🙂

I am not yet done sorting out which ones to be used and the theme that will go with it, but I have started scanning out materials that I’ll be needing in addition with the other photos.

Here are some of the Australian souvenirs and collectibles that Ian got from the trip!

A souvenir passport on their entrance to the Featherdale Wildlife Park

It got stamps of the different animals that they have visited inside the park. :)

It’s so nice too that they allow feeding and personal interaction with the animals there.

His National Capital Passport, also stamped and marked that they visited the Parliament House, Royal Australian Min Dollar, Australian War Memorial and many more.

Coin Collectibles

Ref Magnets

They got souvenir ref magnets when they went to Snowy Mountain, Thredbo

Australian Money Bills

Disclaimer: these are not real money bills 😀 This is the back part of a souvenir notepad. Ahaha!

AUD $100, $50

AUD $20, $10, $5

I still got a few more scanned photos to share. But that deserves another post 🙂

My Collection: Keychains

8 / 29 / 10

We were busy cleaning up our room and saw keychains in one of the drawers, I actually didn’t noticed that they were “growing” a lot lately. Not that I am intentional keychain collector because mostly are gifts from friends and family as they would always hand us key chains as “pasalubong” whenever they go out of town or out of the country.

Key chains from Taiwan

The one at the middle was given by my childhood friend when we had our reunion a year ago. the two at the sides were from my boss.

And so the fondness with these cuties started and continuously received and appreciate it more after.

This was given by DH’s aunt from Las Vegas, I have two pieces of this, and the other one hangs gracefully on my office bag.

Australian Dollar Keychains, a Jeans for Genes keychain made specifically for an organization and was being sold for a fund raising campaign, we even have ball pens, rulers, etc. all from Genes for Jeans courtesy of our Ate (Ian’s sister) based in Australia.

The picture from left- A Malaysia City keychain and Australian map. The right picture is an Australian map in a flip flop design that hangs on my coin purse that I bought from Artscow.

Photo below from the left is from Ate too, and the one on the right was from Gia (DH’s niece) who went to Korea few months ago for a 3 month scholarship when she won in UP’s Korean Speech contest.

isama na din itong Mr. Softy key chain that my kids got from a promo when we bought an ice cream in cone at Megamall, they got to spin the wheel and got this as the prize. LOL!

All in all I was happy with all these as I got them all as souvenir gifts from friends and relatives, I can only wish that I may be able to travel around different places so I would be able to add some more to these keychain collections. 😀
