Here in our living unit in Prague (back home we call this condo unit, but here we call it flat), we have no garden (aside from flower pots in our balcony), that’s why sometimes, I miss my childhood place, not only for the garden, but also for the sea. I grew up in our home, [...]
Are you in the middle of home construction or renovation? A lot of people here are already starting their repairs and renovations as the weather gets warmer and warmer. A friend yesterday said they were painting their bathroom. How about you? What kind of home improvements are you doing this time? If you’re doing your [...]
Which of these pine beds do you prefer? Bed number 1 has that classic look; bed number two is given a nice twist with the pine trees cut out in the headboard and foot board; and the third bed seems like its made for a royalty. hehehe With its high headboard and pine trees design, [...]
I miss having plants at home. When we moved in to our new flat, we had several plants on pots, some were even flower-bearing. We placed them in our small balcony. Unfortunately, they all died when we forgot to transfer them inside when the weather got cold. They all froze to death. When we have [...]
Our house at home was initially built with a provision for a basement, later when it would be the right time (meaning, years after, when we would have the finances for an additional room, maybe after all of us children would finish schooling – long planning hey?). However, until now, when almost all of us [...]
For this Christmas season, I would like to dwell in my favorite dreams, and one of them is to have our dream house built. We already have a lot in one of the subdivisions way back in our home place, and so the next move should be the construction. Though it will take quite some [...]
Don’t you just get annoyed when something in the house breaks down? For months, our bathroom doorknob was out of order. Since my handyman is always busy, he always forgets to fix it. Every time we have visitors, I am reminded to finally push hubby to fix it. So now the problem has already been [...]
During our recent vacation to the Philippines, we spent nearly one week in our condo unit in Paranaque City. This was my first time to personally be there, though previously I had seen its pictures. It’s just a one-bedroom affair, so every part is “cute” but it is spacious compared to like units in other [...]
Our mattress cover and comforter covers are dying to be replaced! We actually inherited it from my mother-in-law. When we moved out from her place, she gave us her old covers which are older than my hubby. They’ve been tearing one after another. My little girl made it worst by pulling a torn part! Yay! [...]
My little girl hadn’t watched her favorite cartoon shows when we were in vacation in our hometown. She was kept busy playing with other toys or being out in the garden pestering her grandpa. When we went to Manila, she had the chance to watch from my sister’s LCD TV coz they subscribe to cable. [...]
