It worked. By the time I got near the door, I decided to eXit. A chance to buck unnecessary shopping is an eXtra good thing. Happy holidays!

    Believe it or not,I'm not a fan of shopping - especially with crowds at shopping malls. I prefer dreaming round quaint village shops. An interesting colourful post.

    Shopping is so tempting, even if it is "unnecessary." You have great self-control! Happy Holidays!

    Great willpower! And pretty pics, too. Here in the states, the store is called Forever 21. I wonder if it is the same chain.

Oh, I know. The Dad is wearing shoes. Old Photo Album But my mother was also smiling in our family photo. All three of us look about the same age as this family. Mama said she explicitly told Papa that day long ago that we would sit for a family portrait so we were to don something formal. But lo and behold Papa came in flip flops! Mama wasn't very happy about it. She still placed our picture neatly in the family album though. Family is family, slippers or stilettos.

Boracay

Boracay is a resort island in the Philippines, administered by the Philippine Tourism Authority and the province where it belongs - Aklan. The island is approximately 196 miles south of Manila. I visited it on a whim in 2013, a year after it was awarded, among several other awards, the best island  in the world by Travel + Leisure, an international travel magazine.
