Pet as part of the family.

Monday, April 30th, 2012

We were already selling one of our pups today when buyers came and it was all so fast one of our pugs got sold right away! I thought it would be okay should it happen as the pug is quite loud when it barks. But I was wrong! When you already began treating a pet [...]

Dog Whisperer

Saturday, March 31st, 2012

Cesar Millan is a brilliant man when it comes to dogs. You just know that he is one person you can go to for dog problems and issues. My family and I are starting our own kennel. My brother wants to breed Siberian Huskies and Pomeranians. I want to breed Shih Tzu and Chihuahua dogs. [...]

Another dream laundry area

Saturday, March 3rd, 2012

Another one found via Pinterest! I posted about my dream laundry area in a previous post. You all know how I am dreaming of a new house and I also have my ideas of what the different rooms of the house will look like. Living room, bedroom, dining room, home-office, etc. One room that I [...]

Dream laundry area

Monday, February 20th, 2012

The photo above is my dream laundry area. We don’t really have a designated laundry area at home since our laundrywoman brings home all the clothes for laundry and just brings it back already dry and folded. My dream laundry area will have a cabinet for laundry supplies and a corner for ironing. The iron [...]

Beautiful living room

Monday, February 20th, 2012

Every beautiful living room photo I see on the net is an inspiration to me. I think I’ve expressed my desire for a brand new house here a number of times already. I save photos of house interiors that I know I can use when we already have a the house of our dreams.

Chalkboard wall

Friday, February 17th, 2012

I saw this photo in Apartment Therapy and I immediately thought I’d want one at home! I also want a chalkboard wall where we can write stuff we just want to write. I am sure me and the little girl will enjoy a wall like that hehehe So I checked and according to the post [...]

Bedroom idea

Thursday, February 9th, 2012

This bedroom idea really appeals to me… I am not dreaming of a larger bedroom. In fact, the bedroom idea above is just fine with me. As long as there’s enough space for my books in there, a small bedroom is just fine. I must admit, even at my age, I still get easily spooked [...]

A brand new house

Monday, February 6th, 2012

There are far too many great photos of the interior and exterior of houses in Pinterest. I can tell you now that I spend so much time looking at the photos and ‘repinning’ it to my Dreams & Goals board. All the photos especially the one above make me want to run out and pay [...]

Pets as family members

Friday, February 3rd, 2012

Ever since I was a little kid, we always had one pet dog at home. My dad would put a dog outside the house in a cage to provide as protection, most specially at night time. We all know how dogs can alert us to intruders. But a dog inside the house was a no-no. [...]

Things I have to buy for the house

Tuesday, January 31st, 2012

I want to buy a new electric fan. Our ceiling fan is now busted most likely from overuse. I am debating with myself whether to suggest a wall fan this time around or a better stand fan than the one we have now. An air conditioner is out of the question as the electricity cost [...]

Painting the walls at home

Sunday, January 15th, 2012

Several years ago I dreamed of having our house renovated. We used to have a concrete ground floor and a wooden second half-floor. I wanted the whole house to become concrete so I hired a contractor and his assistant and had the house renovated. But one thing led to another and the house was left [...]

Immediate goal for 2012

Friday, January 13th, 2012

There are seven of us in the house. My dad, my 3 sisters, my brother, the little girl, and me. With sisters alone the clutter is staggering! Two of my sisters are teachers so that can explain a chunk of the clutter at home. And then there’s the stuff of the little girl. Her toys, [...]

De-cluttering the house

Friday, December 30th, 2011

Organization is the key to a spacious house. And that is what we will be doing from today until tomorrow. My family and I will be staging an organization of all the stuff we have at home. There will be a major de-cluttering event that will happen beginning today! I swear the house is looking [...]

A beautiful kitchen

Sunday, October 16th, 2011

I would love a kitchen like this. My dad, my siblings and I are planning about moving into a new home next year. We are persevering, doing our very best to make this plan of ours happen. We want to move to a new house so bad we are actually talking about it every chance [...]

In the kitchens

Wednesday, July 27th, 2011

I visited a friend’s house the other week and it reminded me of one of my goals this year: to cook more! When I was younger, I used to cook a lot. In fact, I was always with my mom in the kitchen when I was at home and she’s preparing meals. I loved watching [...]

Siblings

Wednesday, July 20th, 2011

I am the eldest. I have three sisters and two brothers. One brother passed away already but just like with the four remaining siblings I have, I was close to him… You know, when it comes to family, I am the first person who will tell you to prioritize them over everyone else. They’re family. [...]

Fair in all things

Wednesday, July 20th, 2011

One practice that our parents instilled in us is to be fair in all things, especially among us siblings. It’s not easy growing up with a lot of siblings and less income. But whereas for some families you have to fight for a piece of something for yourself, in our family you automatically get a [...]

Memories frozen in time

Sunday, May 15th, 2011

We didn’t have a digicam or a decent camera before. Maybe that’s why we didn’t like to take pictures that much. That until now I carry with me. I don’t like taking photos of myself. It’s fine with me to take photos of my family, especially during special occasions. But me? Never mind! Anyway, my [...]

Family photos

Monday, May 9th, 2011

One of the things that my mom was known to do when she was still alive was to chronicle important events in our lives… through photos. She would religiously update each of our albums with current photos, especially those taken during special occasions. But when my mom got sick, album updates become fewer and fewer. [...]

Dad’s birthday

Saturday, April 2nd, 2011

My dad is 53 today. He is the same as ever. He is our protector and the one who cooks for us at home. Ever since my mom died, he took over the mommy responsibilities as well. Actually, not that many anymore since we are all grown-ups already. Our youngest is in college now. We [...]
