Our Home

Yesterday was a full day for me and my fiance. We went to see our future house up north to measure the dimensions of the bedrooms, kitchen, dining and living rooms. My purpose is to check how little our furniture should be. Our house is quite small, but bigger than regular townhouses in the Metro. We've spent a lot of time looking for the best home that will fit our needs (and wants), failed once and lost around Php 15,000 and after a few months of searching, we have finally gave in to this house up north. 

After going to our beloved jewelry maker to bring my jewelry for polishing and give them my design for a customized ring (if you guys need an engagement ring, wedding ring, or customized jewelries - necklace, bracelets or earrings, let me know. We have a trusted jewelry maker in Bulacan and they are very cheap), we went to Manila to finally get our invites. Yes, they are ready for distribution, so we'll be seeing some friends to personally handover our wedding invites. We stopped by SM to refresh ourselves and while strolling, I asked Lester to check out Our Home. Naks, parang totoo na!


I'm computing spending six digits just for furniture and appliances at home. Bed frames and mattress do not come together so to sum it all, I'm estimating spending around 30-40K for a double bed pa lang (mall price)! I will probably don't care at all. It's our bed! We still have to look for sofa sets, light enough to fit our living room. Lester's thinking of a sofa bed out of rattan and window blinds out of organic materials. Sabi ko, "alam mo ba kung gaano kamahal yun?" Imagine, a Kenneth Cobonpue furniture costs around triple or x4 the price of a regular sofa! We also tried looking putting the not so usual Venetian blinds but we found it too pricey in our home (new one in QC). But if that's what he likes, we will have to look for local suppliers of furniture, non-branded and cheaper. 

It was fun and I am looking forward for more arguments and agreements on how our house will look like. The designs, material and the over all look matter to us - it's our home!

Me Blogging

Thank you for spending time to read my posts. Some of them may be non-sense to you, some may be relevant. I'm just happy expressing herself by sharing my thoughts. Writing started as a past time through diaries, essays for school and now for this blog. I do not intend to make blogging as a living (but if permitted, why not!)- I have a day (or mid-shift) job in a thousand employee organization.  I get inspirations from bloggers out there (can't call them co-bloggers!)- Patty, Alessa, Kelly and some others who express themselves through their blogs. I've written a few blogs even before facebook, twitter and instagram became really popular. But only now that I've decided to be more serious about blogging. Before finishing this entry, I did some research about blogging. Definitely, write ups will be original or sometimes, I may quote from someone. Some of the pictures may not be original but I will link you to where I got them. To the owner/s of pictures I may post in the f...

How I Made It Thru My Laziness

I woke up one morning and thought, I want to shop! But I was too lazy to get up and dress myself to pass by malls before I go to work. And then, I remembered my good friend Zalora. I wasn't really a fan of buying things online (especially huge amounts) because I feel my credit card might get screwed and might end me owing something I did not purchase. Aside from that, I was also not really very confident that I might not get the right size or it's not the one I bought, or simply, I don't like it at all, pala! Until I knew of someone who has tried this online purchasing and so I tried it.  This is already my second time to buy in Zalora. Remember, after being curious of buying online., this time Zalora helped my PMS-ing issues. :)  Zalora has thousands of goods anything from clothes to shoes to accessories, branded or from the marketplace, for men and of course, for the ladies. My favorites come from Spring Fling and Something Borrowed. Affordable, classy and...

It was an Accident.

It was a Thursday  during my midshift lunch break when Lester and I scheduled to request NSO copies of our birth certificates and CENOMAR. It was very unusual of me riding the jeepney during rush hour going to Glorietta but apparently I saw a short queue at the loading area. I took the ride and jumped off in front of Rustans but the jeepney driver unloaded me on the second lane. I saw this huge bus in front of me while I was trying to cross the street so I decided to cross in front of the bus. I was too close from the bus's front that it hit my right upper arm and lost my balance. When I was almost in control, the bus still did not stop, hit my right arm and fell down on the steel drainage along Ayala Ave. I was still able to manage to get up and immediately called my fiance. I saw him running while holding his cellphone, shouting at the bus conductor. Initial negotiations did not go well that I decided to just go to traffic police station for a blotter and go to the hospital f...
