a crocheted capelet

This is a crocheted capelet, the first one I made. In the Philippines, December to February are our coolest months. For someone like me suffering for hypothyroidism, these months are also uncomfortable. Thanks to this capelet I would be able to walk through and enjoy the morning and afternoon breezes. 

earwarmer

This is an earwarmer i made from a Readheart wool yarn while listening to a radio program in the internet. I consider it a lucky charm as I won a free ticket to the Carl Balita Prosperity 2013 Event.

update of the Phil blue swimming crab management

The Philippines has just officially adopted the Blue swimming crab Management Plan last September 17, 2012 on the NFARMC meeting. Hats-off to BFAR for initiating and pushing it diligently until its adoption. The work had been about two years in the making but all the efforts of those who supported it, paid off. The bar had been set for the BSC fisheries in Asia... Congratulations! Following the adoption of the Management Plan would be another long process (but a needed process that engages all stakeholders from the crabbers to the traders to the importers and the managers), the adoption of the Fisheries Administrative Orders (FAOs) which would be the engine to the framework. In the FAOs would be the details of how the regulatory measures identified in the Management Plan would be implemented. However, the regulatory measures are not the only component of the Management Plan, there are also actions identified towards stock assessment, research and development and other measures necessary to fulfill the vision of a sustainable fisheries of the blue swimming crabs in the Philippines. Kudos to BFAR (Central Office and the Regional Offices of Region VI, VII, VIII and Region V), NFARMC, LGU's, PACPI, NFI, SFP, and all the other participants who have supported the passing of the Management Plan.

Tawashi

Tawashi's is greener to use in your kitchen and bathroom and safer to your family's health. Greener alternative than sponges because it has longer lifespan, made from natural fibers (mostly cottons), and biodegrable. Safer because it is washable so unlike sponges it does not harbor so much unfriendly germs and fungi. Please save our future generation by shifting to cotton tawashi. They are available in Health and Wellness Bazaar in Lingsat, San Fernando, La Union. For the web purchasers just contact me in this forum. We are also in Facebook, Health and wellness bazaar page.
