Now that summer has officially set in, I become more mindful of the summer heat's effect on my pearls. I was once very addicted to south sea pearls, but I 'temporarily' stopped buying after my 6th set because they require more care than my other gemstone jewelry.Β I have mostly pearl earrings (as seen above), with matching ring or pendant. Because they're plenty, ... READ MORE
A Bespoke South Sea Pearl Ring
Remember this loose golden south sea pearl I bought in Palawan last May? (shown below with my pair of golden south sea pearl earrings) I finally had it designed into a ring! Here is it on my middle finger: The pearl is really big, I love it! I personally chose the design of the ring, which shows 2 gold bands in 14k yellow gold held together by the pearl. My trusted ...

Palawan Freshwater Pearls
Sorry for the lack of posts, I was on travel last Friday for work and as luck would have it, my destination was Puerto Princesa in Palawan and our work was scheduled on a Friday!Β We were able to squeeze in an island-hopping activity the following day (a Saturday) before flying back to Manila in the evening of the same day. You must remember that some months ago, I shared ... READ MORE
Palawan South Sea Pearls
Palawan is popular mainly because of ecotourism, which it promotes so responsibly and enthusiastically. Β You won't see mass tourism there, and in exchange, you get to experience being part of island communities that are unspoiled but very much thriving.

![[ Long story ahead] π Yesterday evening we checked on GG2 and found that 2 kitties were missing. We don't know where she put them because her area is already fenced to avoid the kitties from wandering off.
Turned out we are now at that stage where the momma cat is transferring her kitties because: (a) the birthing box has gotten too small for them though we put them out of the box already and fenced the area, (b) the area is dirty and OC si GG2, or (c) the area is too exposed and too bright for them.
After looking around with flashlight, we found the 2 kitties under the other plant stand just outside our door, walking at different directions and if not for the flashlight ay baka natapakan ko na π¬ We hurriedly put them back in their original box muna with their other siblings, and placed kraft paper in this potential '2nd home' under the plant stand in case GG2 transfers them again.
True enough, she transferred them back there - at midnight. We woke up this morning at the sound of meowing GG2. She is telling us that her babies want breakfast na so it's time to feed her as well π
Now I know why nag lipat bahay sya. Gusto pala nya mas malapit sya sa amin π Isang sigaw or meow meow lang nya, nakasilip na kme sa kanya π.
Haaayz, who knew that having a momma cat and newborn kitties would be this stressful - and entertaining π
