Decorating Our Home Sweet Home

I just want to replace it with an L-shaped sofa set to maximize space. Also, I want a wider seats so I can comfortably watch TV or crochet. Sounds contrasting? Anyway, I would love to have this one if budget permits photo sourc...

Dreaming of a Luxury World

Our Monthly Family Expenses

Have you notice how easy money can be spent nowadays? When I was a kid, I used to accompany my mother to the market every Sundays. From her I learned how to look for the fresh fruits, vegetables, fish and meat. I even learned how to haggle for the price. I remember that time, 500 pesos was more than enough to buy all that we need (food, consumables) for a week. We were 6 in the family and sometimes our extended family (my half-brother's family), joined us as wel...

My Very First Travel Experience

Almost 6 years ago, our company gave me a privilege to travel to Bangkok, Thailand. They sent me to attend a training for one of our equipment in the laboratory. I was so hesitant to go because I am not used to travelling alone and outside the country. I have so many fears and even told Daddy, that I will just let it pass and say no. He told me it's a big opportunity I must grab and just enjoy that 5-day trip. It was my very first travel experience. My very first airplane ride....

Homeschooling is a Challenge

Since Matt is turning 3, we are thinking of sending him to school. At first we don't see any problem since there's a school just few steps away from our home. But we are so wrong, because the school near us don't have Nursery level. They have Kinder 1 and 2 but the age requirement is at least 4 years old. That really worries us. So we talked about it and we decided to just wait for a year. Anyway if ever he will be enrolled in Nursery he will still take Kinder 1 and 2. But again,...

Decorating Our Dream Farm House

One thing I really want when I retire from work is to have a farm house. Actually, I am thinking of retiring from work earlier than most working people do.  My goal is to be a full time mom before I turn 40. It will be a lot better if I will have a work from home. I will still continue our small business and do buy and sell too. I want to be able to directly import baby stuffs and sell at much cheaper price. Those are my goals and hopefully I can make it through God’s grace. Anyway going back to our dream farm house, Daddy and I are planning to invest on buying a farm land. This is right after we finished paying our house. As early as now, I am looking for possible design of our farm house. Unlike our current house that is designed by the developer, I want our dream farm house to be personally designed and decorated by us. source I just want a simple structured house. A well ventilated house with at least 4 rooms so that the future families of our children can stay there...

Photostory: At home =)

Hello guys! I am blogging from home. I usually don't blog at home because I spend more time with Matt then do crocheting. But I feel the urge to make this post. Yesterday, at work, the power went out. Good thing we have generator but our internet connection also disappear. Then we went home early, had early dinner then just when we finished eating the power went out again. Brownout! I pity Matt so much as he is sweating so much. Though he was not complaining, he was actually so hyper. We attempted to crochet with the candle light but it was really hot that we decided to sleep early. God really has a way to tell us we must sleep as we are not sleeping well these past weeks. Thank God the power went back at 8 pm.  Tonight, I hope there will be no power interruption. Anyway, here's what we are doing right now. ...
