woowww!!!!!!!!!

here in DAVAO they sell PEARLS i mean the real ones from "BADJAO" who swims very deep to get pearls?!! they are just seeling it for 1000PHP for the whole set ( necklace, earings, and a ring)

see the huge difference??? mmmmmmmm. . . .

Maybe the Carabao stuff and Horse is better for my In Laws and classy Native bags is very nice too, I heard one of my friend that when you use Native Bag in U.S you are "IN" because it is very expensive in U.S..

cege I made up my mind!!!! hope its not much expensive...

Dear, the badjao's don't sell real pearls.. that's cultured pearls and sometimes even synthetic pearls that they buy in Uyanguren. (not LOTS4LESS ha, i forgot the name of the store basta they sell kikay fashion jewelries at a wholesale price and they also sell materials for fashion jewelry making--kanang uso2x na kwintas na dagko na tag 200-400pesos sa malls, you can buy it there for 65-80 pesos)

I bought some items in that uyanguren store one time (I am a bargain shopper) and I saw this two badjao that frequents the sea port of lanang (kanang sakayan para chema's, usahay sa sakayan para pearl farm sila), they also frequents diferent beach resorts in samal (no I am not a beach addict.. medyo lang :whistle: ) and have even reached tagum selling their supposedly real pearls. When I saw them i was like: AHA! nasakpan mo! but of course I didn't even talk to them.

That 1,000PHP is a rip off already for the actual price of those "supposedly" pearl jewelries.. if you want I could accompany you in that store.. I'm going to davao next week, just text me if gusto ka uban.

Cultured pearls are pearls pud daw pero dili na sila naga-anak unlike the real pearls jud. It is any pearl grown with the influence of human intervention. and kanang nagasakay sa gamay na bangka, mao na sila ubana... you can actually buy the same set na imo gidescribe for 500 or less sa store sa paradise and even lesser didto sa uyanguren.... they sold it to you for 1K coz you were with a foreigner and mura man pud ka mexicana yourself. Sige nalang, just think it has help feed them pud.

For the native bags, try to scout sa uyanguren gyapon, naa area for native bags and also native jewelries.

For somebody who have an eye for the real thing, mahahalata talaga nya kung cultured or natural pearl, tsaka madali lang talaga mahalata un kahit di ka pa masyado marunong kumilatis.. but I think even the cultured pearls are expensive sa US compared dito.

You'll do fine primie.. don't forget mother's day would be May 11, most probably nandon ka na... fresh flowers will be good to go for the gift that you will be buying for her and a simple mother's day card (a handcrafted one would be better). Thank her for giving birth to Ryan, and for raising ryan so well and promise her that you will take care of Ryan the best way you know how... and other stuffs you want to tell her... after all, if not for her, you won't have the chance to meet the wonderful man that you are about to marry and spend the rest of your life with.

Good luck to you. I'm sure they will love you as much as they love Ryan. :thumbs:

We bought a hammock for my father-in-law (it is made of strings na parang net sa volleyball kaya u can put it in your

luggage hehe). We bought it in Malacanang from the guard. He was wearing this military suit and offered us if we want to buy the hammock he made. It is only 500 pesos ( we made tawad so we got it for only 400 pesos since we bought 2 )and it's matibay :D.

You have mentioned that she has a garden , so maybe she can hang it thr and have some rest after her work so that she will feel relaxed :D

Just my suggestion hehe :)

Good Luck and Have a safe trip to both of you :)

Just want to share and hope this could help, when i met mamu (nanz mom) i gave her the not-so-expensive but very nice hand made card, yes i made it (i know i am not good at it, hand made) and i expressed myself by letting her know that i so thankful because if wasn't for her (not only mamu but the good lord too and her dad who passed away) i wouldn't met the most wonderful woman i ever wanted in my life, i wouldn't knw the meaning of true love and i wouldn't be so happy in my life, thanked her for giving me nanz, shes more than i ever hoped for. :)
