Mom's World of Arts and Happiness

While on the way to vacant lots for future house and lot owners, I noticed the difference between a regular subdivision and Valenza. The lots have ample space compared to the regular subdivision. They also have better and more recreational facilities aside from the usual clubhouse. One of my visit's the highlight was taking photos up at Valenza’s Winter Tales Castle. The impressive structure stood majestically near the entrance of Valenza, Sta. Rosa along the main road. The Christmas-themed castle changed into different colors to the awed delight of the visitors.

This Yuletide season, the country’s leading fast-food chain is adding brightness and cheer to its nationwide network of stores with holiday decorations that make dining an even more festive experience. Decals featuring well-loved Christmas parols and a group of cute kiddie carolers embellish the glass panels of Jollibee stores, welcoming customers as they enter and depicting the holiday traditions that many Filipinos are fond of. These also add to the heartwarming mood set by the colorful murals that showcase Pinoys’ strong family ties, as well as the fun store accents and décor that win over kids and kids at heart.

When it comes to our best day ever like debut and wedding, we roam around just to get the best of everything and we spare no expense to achieve it.
