Heartlines Are My New Bloodlines

Image
Kinship and bloodlines used to be so significant for me.  Ever since my college days, I was always interested in genealogy and how my family was related to who or whom. I used to spend hours looking over family trees and tracing my ascendants, even to the point of  reaching out to people who had the same last names as mine or any of my ascendants. I have created family trees on websites and shared this with relatives, near and far, old and new.  Then I found myself becoming a mother to two children, a boy who just turned 25 and a girl, now 7.  They may not be of my blood but they have all of my heart.  Suddenly, bloodlines became irrelevant when it concerned my relationship with my children.

Each Christmas bear I plan to give, will come with a message of love that tells the receiver,

A Skechers Store in Bacolod

I have always dreamed of owning the perfect pair of shoes for my imperfect feet. Little did I know that I would find it right under my nose. The Skechers brand has been around for quite sometime, and I have seen their display at the SM Department Store but being a person who preferred high heels, their design did not really appeal to me. Then, I found myself checking out the casual and sports shoes section during the SM great shoe sale a few months ago, and this is where I discovered Skechers GO Walk .  And so, when I was told that Skechers was opening a store in SM Bacolod I was excited to check out the different styles that they had to offer.
