• Frosty White. A white palette makes your fir or frosted-berry tree merry and magical. Deck your tree with sparkly silver and white ornaments, blended with luxurious ribbons to create a cozy, snowy and wintry wonderland. Also, add some dazzle it with some glittered snowmen and penguin plushies.
  
  
   
  
  
• Classic Red. Create a cozy and casual holiday living room with classic reds that never go out of style. Add shades of white, and don’t forget a bit of sparkle for added flair. Nutcracker toy soldiers, potted berry trees, wreaths and Christmas trees, snow globes, and miniature vintage villages will help showcase a traditional holiday scene at home.
  
  
  
  
  
• Blush Luxe. Metallic hues make an elegant and polished holiday look. This year, add a rosy palette update of white and blush pink into your Christmas design. Glam up your tabletop with Nordic Gonk plushies or Pink Angel dolls for your little girl’s dreamy Christmas.

Happy National Flag Day, Philippines!

May 28 is commemorated as the National Flag Day in the Philippines. to remember and pay respects to our National Flag, i would like to take us again to History 101 and the role of the symbol of our country.

the Philippine Flag was designed by the first president of the country, Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo and other leaders. it was sewn by Marcela Agoncillo in Hong Kong. yes, not here in the Philippines but it made its debut on the morning of June 12 1898 -- the proclamation of Philippine independence from the Spanish colony.

the design was tri-color, two bands of blue on top and red at the bottom, an equilateral triangle bearing a sun of 8 rays, symbolizing the eight provinces that revolted against the Spaniards during the great dispute. three stars for Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao, the 3 islands of the Philippines. before it had its design as of now, it underwent a lot of studies and evolutions.

the flag is always raised along the singing of Lupang Hinirang, the Philippine National Anthem.
