Dara's Pastries

I always try to support locals, especially the people I love, friends and neighbors in their businesses so when I learned that Dara is selling sweet delights like cakes, cupcakes, coconut macaroons and what not, I did not have second thoughts to support her.
 

I have known Dara since she was born because her parents are very close family friends. I remember when she just learned how to walk she can dance gracefully already and had been a part of every barangay activity (dance intermission numbers) during her childhood and everyone loved her performance! I never thought that she would become a baker because she is more of a performer and considering her mom can only make puto cheese (haha!) and I remember, I even have borrowed her steamer many times way back then because I couldn't afford one, (Thank you ate Libeth!), so I kinda really wonder where did Dara get her talent in baking! Just kidding :)
 

To continue, I have ordered cakes from her more than couple times already for my family and they said Dara's cakes are super delicious! I haven't tasted her cakes yet because I am out of the country, hopefully, soon I could have a bite or two, hmm.. maybe a slice or two.

Dara's Pastries bakes mostly custom cakes which is really interesting. You just send photo of the cake you want and she will make it for you perfectly. Or, you can ask her to show her available theme designs, for example, children's birthday cake for boys or for girls, debut, 50th or 70th birthday, etc. Or just visit her page to choose your cake design.

If you did not live in San Francisco, Agusan del Sur or if you were out of the country like me and you want to surprise someone for celebrating whatever occasion or you just want to send a cake gift "just because", you can just shoot her a message on her page and tell her what you want and send your payment thru G-cash, which I also used to pay her. I am not sure if she would deliver because she is a busy mom of 4 cute kids so I think she only offers pick-ups.
 

Below are the grabbed photos of her creations from her page for your reference.

Daddy'$ Millionaire Dog$

As per pictures below, I am not talking about my dogs Buchoy and Luna. No, their Dad is not a millionaire, he is rich though... Rich is his name, not millionaire... just Rich, Lol!

This post is about the dogs of my friend at work. I call him Mr. Clyde. Let me tell you about him first. He has been in Round Mountain Gold Corporation for 35 years. Yep, 35 years. Being in the company that long made him a millionaire. His 401 K alone has more than a million already plus his savings and other investments which I am pretty sure are hefty too (he has no vices except shopping on Amazon).

He is single, never been married and no kids but he has 2 lucky dogs that he calls "my kids". We never hang out outside work but I can tell that he is a nice person. I did not get to know more about him until I moved to the side of his Crew when I got a Day Tech position. I remember though at one time, he took time off from work when his first dog passed away. And honestly, I was like, "I am very sorry for his loss but taking a week off for that reason is I think too much". I did not have pets at that time so I could not relate.

He was sad and lonely until three people very close to him at work (one of them is Ms. Shona who influenced me to get Buchoy and Luna) planned something to make him happy again. They got him a skin and bone stray dog wandering around Ms. Shona's ranch. They made it appear like, "someone dropped off the dog in his home" incident.

He accepted and loved the dog and named him Buster who live up to his name because he would bust everything when Mr. Clyde is not around. 

Few months later, he rescued a dog from a shelter and he named him Homie, and contrary to Buster, he doesn't live up to his name because he tried to leave home one day as Mr. Clyde caught him inside the UPS truck with paws upon the steering wheel, Lol!

Buster and Homie are spoiled. They are fed with steak, roast beef and other good stuff. They get gifts for their birthdays, Halloween and Christmas. They are both living a great life with Mr. Clyde.

Last month, we were talking about dependents of our benefits at work, Family Trust,Will and Testament and others for that matter. I shared that my husband and I just got done with our Family Trust in case something happens to both us at the same time.

I asked Mr. Clyde who are his beneficiaries of his millions and he said, "My dogs. Whoever will take them will have my millions". I thought he was just kidding me but he was not. He added, it was the first dog who passed away was the original beneficiary. I was shocked for a moment. Though I have heard or read stories similar like this, never in my wildest dreams that I could encounter as such in person.

Buster, the skin and bone stray dog and Homie, the rescue dog, are Daddy'$ Millionaire Dog$!

How lucky are they!

Japan Pre-Loved Branded Items Online Sellers on Facebook

I learned that Japanese people are fashionistas and very particular with brand names. And it is in Japan that you would see many second hand shops of Designer bags, clothes, jewelry and what not. One day I bumped into a live online seller and I got hooked. I have followed few online sellers from Japan since then.

I have made blogs about three Japan online sellers years ago because I bought stuff from them. This time I am sharing my recent favorite online sellers to watch. I haven't bought from them yet but I like to watch them while doing some chores like washing dishes, cooking, etc. to be entertained only since buying designer purses is not in my bucket list anymore. If it was a gift I would definitely accept it, hehe! In fact, my first Louis Vuitton bag was a gift from my son when he received his first paycheck as a MedTech in US.

Grancha Kauzo Luxury bags. 

They offer free shipping worldwide except Philippines via DHL and they accept payment thru PayPal only. There are 3 sellers who take turns selling live; Mitch or Mitchang, Mark and Gil. Mitch is fun and energetic, very detailed and will skip an item if she would see any flaw that doesn't pass her taste. 

Screen shot grabbed from her latest live selling video

Mark and Gil are both very cool, humble and the way they talk, they look and sound like they don't know how to get mad, lol!

Max's Brand Name Live.

I am not sure if they offer free shipping or not. They accept PayPal but they prefer Wisely Pay. I have heard Wisely Pay thru ADP, the company that process my paycheck. I never used it but it is legit. Max has a very pretty online seller named Chen.

Screen shot grabbed from one of her previous live selling videos

She is beautiful, isn't she? But her accent is very hard to understand, lol! Max reminds me of Charlie of the movie entitled "Charlie's Angels", as viewers only heard him in the background and never seen his face.

The House of Luxury

I did not really know her payment options. She is funny in a sarcastic way and she looks like Filipino actress Glaiza de Castro. I like her choice of bags. She doesn't sell ugly bags and I think she priced them pretty fair too.

Screen shot grabbed from her previous live

These are the live sellers from Japan who amused me. Find them on Facebook, follow them and get hooked like me!

By the way, we Filipinos love branded stuff too, yeah?  Thanks for dropping by! 

Have a high vibration day!
