Nice To Know You Wednesday

Hello. I know it is not Wednesday anymore as I write this post but ey it is still Wednesday on the other part of the planet so my post counts. hehe..

So this is a post wherein I get to answer five questions regarding my life. I saw this Meme on my co-blogger's post Miss Cielo. The idea of course of the whole "Nice To Know You Wednesday Meme" was from its author Mum Writes. I find it interesting so I decided to enter.

Nail Art: The Travel Teller

Hello.. This time I am showing you the design I made for my sister. She is a nurse and currently reviewing for her IELTS Examination on May. She is staying at our house in Davao City. 

The design was for her blogger friend Olan. He is the author of a travel blog called The Travel Teller that showcases the most wonderful spots in our beloved country, the Philippines. His latest adventure was in Ilocos, a place me myself would love to visit. Click the link and you will surely see that it really is More Fun in the Philippines. ;)

The nail design was inspired by Olan's T-Shirt design. Just a simple footsteps design on the pinky, middle and index finger. Then the words I ♥ TRAVEL TELLER on the thumb and BE OLANIZE on the ring finger.

Nail Art: Angry Birds

Peace!! I think after posting this design many would say that the birdies will get angrier with my version of their faces. :)) I know my design is not as gorgeous as our other nail gurus out there but at least I tried to have my share of this very addicting game. I was really into it and I got very irritated whenever I can't hit a "pig" or can't pass to another level. I even watch walkthroughs on the web to see how to hit them. Pathetic!!

My First Glimpse on the New Peso Bills

I went to BDO yesterday to deposit. When it was my turn, the teller ask me if I want to change my old bills to the new one. I immediately said said yes, but to my dismay they only have 50 peso bill left. Their head office only gave them 2 bundles of 20's and 1 bundle of 50's. So I gave my one hundred peso bill in exchange of two brand new, "bank-scent" and crisp 50 peso bill. ;) After my transaction at the bank, I hurriedly go back to our store to show off my new bills. They became an instant celebrity! lol..

So here is what I've observe:

1. Design highlights: President Sergio Osmeña, the first national assembly in 1907, the Leyte Landing, the seal of the President and the new BSP seal. At the back is the Taal Lake, the deepest freshwater lake found n the country, as well as the animal Maliputo are showed on the reverse side. On the right is a design highlight from an embroidery handcrafted in Batangas.

2. It has more security features against counterfeiting. The serials are ascending in fonts.  


3. Color wise, it's more vibrant. It looks like the paper bills in Singapore. I even thought it was a foreign currency at first sight.

4. It's a millimeter(I think) bigger than the old bill.

5.  President Sergio Osmeña's image is much much younger. He looks good. :)


All in all, I like this more than the old one.. I didn't use it yet. Keeping it inside my wallet until it's widely use and released. I wish i could have the 500 peso bill too with Ninoy and Cory's images on the front..hehe
