What is Ukay-Ukay?

Ukay-ukay is a store that sells used-clothing from other countries at a very affordable or very cheap price. From Newborns, toddlers' dresses and shirts to adults. Whatever you can find at the Ukay-ukay store. Fabric linens, bed sheets, Bras and Panties (undergarments).

It is very cheap that you can buy Php15.00 or Php20.00 each item from the Ukay-Ukay store. It is called Ukay-Ukay, meaning mixed together and you need to Ukay and grab the item that you think that fits for you.

Everywhere in Cebu and in other parts of the Philippines, Ukay-ukay is a thrift store that you shouldn't missed. You will find valuable items for you and for your household. 

My personal experience of this Ukay-Ukay is that, It is where I usually buy used skirts for my daily use. I switch from wearing shorts and pants to Skirts and dresses now. So, the ukay ukay store is my area now.

It's fun to look around too. You don't know you might hit the jackpot. You know what I mean.

MOTHER MARY

ALTAR

BACK VIEW That photo above was taken at simala with the friends or colleagues of my boyfriend. Simala is best known as the miraculous shrine in the south Cebu. Many people came from different places especially during Sundays. They believed in miracle that brought by Marian Monks with the help of our blessed virgin Mary has been famous several years ago. I, myself have been there twice. Devotees were sacrificing the heat of the sun as they light there candles and wrote there petitions in a small sheet of paper. I believed that Our Lord Jesus Christ would grant those prayers who sincerely and faithfully ask him. I can proved it to myself. Many times the Lord answered my prayers and sometimes I realised I have debt of gratitude to the Lord and the only way to repay his goodness is to worship him and accept him with all your heart. Without him we are nothing.

Update to year 2023:

Simala, Cebu is the Sanctuary or the Monastery of our Blessed Mother Mary is still my favorite Go-To church where I can Pray, repent and asked for forgiveness and longed to tell the Blessed Mother how I've been through.

The Monastery is currently under construction and it Looks really amazing now. The designs has been improved and to me, it looks like a real cassle.
