Grill Glove Grabs Steaks Right Off The Grill!

2010-08-04T08:33:00.002+08:00

There's something I'm really excited about, it's the newest grilling tool I've saw just today on TV. I'm talking about Grill Glove, similar to a gardening glove however, it is made from 100% food grade silicone that is heat resistant. With such glove, I can easily grab whatever food I'm grilling and control it by myself. I no longer have to use tongs which might drop foods like hot dogs, chicken, barbecue, and many other kinds of food.

With the Grill Glove, I will not get burn since it was made safe and it can be cleaned through a dishwasher, made really simple that's why I'm going to get one right now at www.GrillGlove.com. If you want to know more about the newest grilling glove I'm talking about, just check out the site and you can take advantage of the special double offer they have where you can get 2 Grill Gloves for only $14.99. Aside from that, you can get a free bonus Lava Mitt which you can use in your kitchen.

1st Day Of Work

2009-09-01T18:37:00.002+08:00

Today is my first day in my new job at NSO (National Statistic Office) as a data encoder. I'm pretty excited that I arrived at the office as early as 7:30 in the morning. Of course, it's important that I arrived early so that my bosses will be impressed.

The task was easy for me because I'm used to encoding data however with the quota required, it will always be time pressured. Hopefully, I'll be able to meet the required quota everyday.

My officemates? Hmm, they're not noisy yet. I mean, we're not getting to know each other yet. But soon, we'll be getting along better.

Soon To Work

2009-08-25T08:37:00.001+08:00

Today, I was able to accomplished everything I need to so I can already start working probably the start of September this year. I was already hired at NSO (National Statistics Office) as a data encoder.

I'm pretty excited about it because I'll get to work again and earn on my own. I can finally buy everything I promised my daughter. My daughter as well loved the idea that I'll get to work again so I can always treat her out. But she's a bit sad because I will no longer be able to fetch her from school. But it's okay, her yaya will be the one to look after her when I'm away, but if I'm home, I'll be the one in charge of her. We will still do her homework together at night.

Thank God I've finally found a good paying job!

2009-08-19T11:15:00.002+08:00

I'm excited about what's going to happen this coming Friday as me and my new found friends will be going out to Ligñon Hill. The meeting place is at the starting point going up to the said place. From what I've heard from all those people who have been there, they keep on saying that it's a really nice place to spend some time with family and friends and even alone so you can have time for yourself.

Whew! I'm just super excited about it.

My Fave Scent

2009-08-15T14:23:00.000+08:00

Just few weeks ago, I received a really nice gift from a relative. It's an Arden Beauty perfume. It smells really good and last really long. It's my favorite scent as of the moment and I love to spray it all over me whenever I go out. Most probably sooner or later I will be out of such perfume, but no worries because I can always be able to purchase it at Scent. With just few clicks away from my mouse, I can order it online. I'll probably try other Elizabeth Arden perfume like the Red Door Eau De Parfum.

A Very Busy Night

2009-07-30T19:54:00.000+08:00

Looking For A Good Paying Job

2009-07-23T15:06:00.002+08:00

And like any other jobless person as of the moment, I badly need a job today. I've been applying since last week and unfortunately, I'm not the lucky person to get the job. Maybe something better is meant for me. Oh, where are you job? I'm just here looking for you, where can I find you?

Stirke

2009-07-13T14:52:00.000+08:00

Zoe has no school today because there's a transport strike today, however my hubby will still go to work since his office is not that far from our house. And since there's no school for my daughter today, we'll be able to take more rest and time playing and bonding with each other. We'll probably play computer games later today before we have our afternoon nap.

Things To Do Today

2009-07-09T14:46:00.003+08:00

What I'll be doing today is to use the pc and surf the net. And as usual I'll be updating my Friendster and Facebook accounts as well as upload pictures. Hopefully, I'll be able to upload pictures fast so I'll not get tired. After being able to do what I need to do online, I'll be cleaning our bathroom. I always see to it that it gets clean everyday.

Feel Like Cleaning

2009-07-04T07:41:00.000+08:00

It's the last day of the month today and I feel like cleaning our house. I don't know what I've came to realize today that I really feel like having a general cleaning right at this very moment. I plan to do some of the laundry today, sweep and mop the floor, and then change bed sheets and pillow covers. I think I'll be able to do it all this morning. My daughter can probably do some little help.

I'll stop using the computer now and start cleaning so I'll be able to finish before lunch time. Later this afternoon I'll be taking a nap with my daughter because for sure I'll be very tired.

Zoe's New Pets

2009-06-26T21:02:00.003+08:00

Zoe got her long waited pets from her Daddy. It was actually a promised from her Dad long before we've moved into our new house. Zoe's new pet was supposed to be hamsters yet her Dad wasn't able to find small sized hamsters from the pet store. According to the pet store owner, there will be new baby hamsters in 2 to 3 weeks time.

For the meantime, my hubby bought two little white mouse for Zoe. (I remember I had three white mouse before. I named one of them "Huggies")

Zoe was really happy and surprised to see two white mouse inside a cage as soon as she woke up from her afternoon nap. She kept on thanking her Daddy about the new pets.

The name of the two little mouse? No names yet at the moment but Zoe said she'll be the one to think about it.

A Dream I Cannot Forget

2009-06-20T14:38:00.002+08:00

"I visited a teacher of mine in college. I went inside the school and meet my former teacher. But what was funny is that I dreamed of the same teacher I dreamed just last week. My chemistry teacher, Mr. Cruz. It's funny because he was my high school teacher and not college teacher. I don't have a chemistry subject in college since my course was AB Communication Arts. The next thing that happened was that, me and my friends whom I can't remember anymore together with my cousin Tin was running in circles until we get to the top of a building that is about 20 to 30 feet high. The next thing I know, two of my friends and cousin had already jumped into the water from the top of the building and they're waiting for me to jump, however I was so afraid that I can't jump. And from then on, I was awaken already and didn't know what happened next."

That was what I dreamed few days ago and until now, I really cannot forget it. Whenever I go to sleep, I keep on thinking if that dream of mine will continue and I really want to know if I did go jump into the water or no.

Afternoon Blogging

2009-06-17T14:00:00.000+08:00

It was sunny and rainy this morning, and this afternoon it's a bit cloudy. I wish it will not rain later today so that I can play with my daughter downstairs. Right now, my daughter is sleeping and as usual I'm blogging. I can't take a nap right now, I just don't feel sleepy. But probably if I get tired, I will take some nap.

Plans for tonight? Just watch TV and play with the clay my daughter just bought early this afternoon. She was dying to buy those clay and shaped them the way she wanted.

So that's it, I'm just blogging today. Later, I'll upload pictures on my facebook and friendster account.

Chantal's First Day Of School

2009-06-15T15:44:00.004+08:00

Today, June 15, 2009 is the first day of school of my daughter Chantal. She's now in kindergarten. She was so excited to go to school to see her former classmates in Nursery as well as see her former teachers too and of course get to use her new Barbie bag and shoes. Since last night, she keeps on asking me what her "baon" will be and who would be her classmates, etc.

It was so rainy this morning but good thing we're able to go her school safe and sound, not so wet at all. I was the one who look after her and will be the one to look after her for the coming days.

Right now, Chantal just woke up from her afternoon nap and is now having her snacks. In a little while she'll be playing downstairs with her friends and cousins.

Tomorrow will be another day for us. Hope it will not rain so hard anymore.

Earn Money Online

2009-06-12T21:33:00.003+08:00

Earning money nowadays is really hard. Doing so is not an easy job. However, if we just know how to earn money like earning money online, we can always have a job even we're just at home like an Experienced Trader Online. If you want to specifically earn money online and get a stable profit through your home business, it's very much recommended to invest in Investment Forge.

Holiday, Family Day

2009-06-12T06:00:00.002+08:00

Today is holiday here in the Philippines as we celebrate 111th Philippine Independence Day. For some Filipino this is not that important, but there many who knows and realize how important this day is. For me, it's quite important although I really don't give enough attention to it.

So, since today is holiday, it's already family day for my whole family because we're all at home and we plan to watch the movie Angels and Demons. My hubby was able to get a copy of the movie although it isn't shown yet here in Legazpi.

Other plans for today? Of course, I'll be blogging during my free time and then play with my daughter (domino and games with her friends).

Nothing else. I hope today will end good.

Weather In Arizona

2009-06-11T10:39:00.002+08:00

Arizona is one of the beautiful places to live in most especially when talking about its weather that is currently about 80 degrees. From what I've learned, the average rainfall in Arizona during summer season is less than 1in per month and it often rains more in the months of July and August. So, it's far more better to live there if I'll just be given the chance.

Moving to Arizona is so easy with the help of professional real estate agent who will surely help in finding Arizona real estate at a price that one can surely afford to pay. One of the places I'm looking forward to stay at and choose a residence is at Eagle Pass Luxury Condos that is located at Alma School Parkway and Jomax Road Scottsdale Arizona. I think I would surely love it there because it's near Four Season's Resort and Spa.

Swine Flu A(H1N1) Virus

2009-06-11T08:36:00.002+08:00

The news last night and early this morning was really alarming. It said that there had been 23 cases of A(H1N1) virus in the Philippines. It's really a serious virus that we Filipinos should not just ignore. We all have to take careful steps and do everything we can so that we will not be affected by this swine flu. Hopefully, those who are already infected can be treated right away so as the virus will not spread anymore.

I wonder how did such virus started. All I know is that it started in Mexico. Is it really true that the pigs (swine) were the one that caused this all? I need more explanation for this one.

I also hope, there are no cases here in our place, Legazpi City and all over the Bicol region because we of course don't want to risk our health and life.

It's really better to avoid crowded places for the meantime, avoid shaking hands, hugging, any kind of contact of that sort from other people we don't know or even from people we know, most especially those with fever, have coughs and flu.

Such news I heard last night and early this morning made me so afraid for my daughter and for my whole family that's why me and my hubby really think that we should avoid crowded places for the moment. It's all for our own good.

Our Cat Is Missing

2009-06-09T14:19:00.003+08:00

Our cat Hades is missing since yesterday. I remember seeing him last Sunday lunch time. Where is he now? My hubby is so angry because someone might killed our cat and eaten it, you know what I mean. But hopefully that's not what happened to him. My daughter also feel sad about our cat missing. Until now, we're still looking for him, he might just be somewhere.

I also miss our cat Hades because he's a really nice cat. He sometimes sleep with us in our bed. He loves to cuddle with everyone of us especially my daughter Chantal.

Where did our cat go? I really don't have any idea. He used to be gone for hours but he usually returns when it's time for him to eat.

I even made a joke to my hubby about creating a missing ad and post it everywhere like the picture above. But he didn't even comment. I know how mad he is about our cat missing. He's the only pet we have for the moment. Well, very soon our daughter will have her hamster. But Hades is different.

Our neighbor's cat, who is Hades mother and wife at the same time had given birth to two white kitten, the other one looks exactly like Hades and we're thinking about getting it and making it our new cat. But that would be in about 2 months time because the baby kitten still needs his mom for milk and we're not actually sure if the kitten is a boy or a girl. We prefer a male cat.

Not An Ordinary Monday

2009-06-08T09:18:00.002+08:00

Today, I woke up a bit late, 6:45 in the morning. I was supposed to wake by 6:15 to prepare breakfast and ready my hubby's stuff before he go to the office. Good thing our maid was able to cook the fried rice already, and I was the one who prepared the salted egg, longganisa, and "adobong katoy" - our dinner last night.

I slept at almost past 1am today because I watched a film which I don't exactly know the title of the movie. But it was about a football game, specifically the life of one the players Muñez. (I'll do more research about it so I can figure out the title of the movie I watched.) What I really wanted to have is the picture of the actor who portrayed the role of the player Muñez. He is totally hot! I mean it. He's the type of guy I want. He dress so well and look so handsome. I can't stop thinking about who is he in real life. That's why I'll be doing my research right now at this very moment.

My schedule for today would be blogging in the morning and in the afternoon. After me and my daughter take a bath, we will go to the water station and order water. And the I'll prepare our lunch, wait for my hubby to arrive, have some nap in the afternoon, and look after my daughter when she plays downstairs.

Needed Groceries

2009-06-05T14:44:00.003+08:00

Our fridge is running out of food that's why me and my hubby will go to the grocery store and the wet market to buy all the needed items.

(I actually need to go to the bank first to get some money enough for the items we will buy later this afternoon when my hubby arrives from work.)

At the wet market, all we need to buy is fresh cut of pork, not much of beef I think, but I suggested to my hubby that I want him to cook "bulalo" anytime this week. We'll buy some fish to be marinated as well as some other cut of pork to be marinated as well. We'll need some veggies as well and other stuffs like garlic, onion, lemon, etc.

At the grocery store, what I'll be buying are: Bear Brand Choco for our daughter, Chantal - it's her favorite chocolate drink for the moment; sugar, Bear Brand Milk, Milo, some canned goods, noodles, cookies, and candies. And I shouldn't forget to buy some bread because it's what me and my hubby always look for during our midnight snack.

Have I forgotten other stuffs? Let me think... I probably need to buy some chips and chocolate since I always want to eat something eat almost all the time.

So that's it. I better stop blogging now and go to the bank before it closes.

17-hour Sleep

2009-06-04T15:45:00.004+08:00

Yesterday I had a very sleepy day and it was a nice experience for me though my head ached so much.

Tuesday night I was blogging from 8pm until the next day 4am while my hubby is hanging with me. I didn't feel boring and sleepy because me and my hubby was having some little chats once in a while. Of course I was blogging that's why I didn't feel boring at all. My hubby was playing PSP games as well and answering crossword puzzles to keep him awake while waiting for his turn to use the pc.

So how did the 17-hour sleep happened and what causes the headache?

I slept 4am-9am, which is 5 hours of sleep. Had a breakfast while looking after my daughter who's watching her favorite cartoon movies. We had lunch by 12 noon, watch TV for a while and then fall asleep at the living room, lying on the tiles because there was no electricity. By 2pm, the electricity is back and we moved into our room and continued sleeping. So from 2pm to 4pm, me and my daughter had our afternoon nap. As soon as we woke up, we had snack and Zoe and her yaya played downstairs while I listen to the music in the veranda.

By 6pm, I was already preparing dinner. By past 7pm, we are all finished with our dinner, watched TV for a while and then by 8pm I did fall asleep again with my hubby who is really sleepy too. I woke up by past 9pm waiting for 10pm for my daughter to sleep already. By 10, we're all sleeping already.

The next day I woke up 6:30 am and it's another day for me.

Overnight Blogging

2009-06-03T03:37:00.000+08:00

It's now exactly 4 o'clock in the morning, June 3, 2008. For the last 8 hours, I've been updating my new blog My Home Styling as well as my personal blog Msteenybopper.

Whew! I was in front of the computer for 8 hours straight and counting. My hubby is with me inside our daughter's playroom where the computer is placed playing PSP games while having some drink. We will probably stay awake until 5 in the morning. Whew! My eyes wanna sleep already but thinking about updating my blog keeps me wide awake.

I still have to add more widgets to my blog as well as update the post I wanted to publish for the month of April and probably early March. That is if I can still remember the events. Whew! I would need to recall what happened weeks ago.

Tonight's Memo

2009-06-02T19:44:00.001+08:00

I'm feeling kinda boring a while ago, but not now that I'm blogging already. Everyday, there are times that I'm really busy doing things here at home, but there are also times that I'm not doing anything and wonder what can I do just to keep myself busy.

In the morning, I usually wake up early to prepare breakfast for my family. After having my breakfast I would log on to the Internet, update my blog, facebook and friendster account. And then when Zoe is already awake, I would prepare whatever breakfast she would like to have. By about 9 or 10, me and Zoe will take a bath and then I'll be preparing our lunch. As soon as my hubby arrive from work, we'll have our lunch.

After lunch, we will watch TV and by past 1pm, me and Zoe will have our afternoon nap. However, sometimes I don't feel like taking a nap that's why I just blog and update my facebook account. As soon as my daughter wake up, we'll have our snack and then Zoe and her yaya will go down to play. During those times, I'm just watching from people and cars from our veranda while listening to music and waiting for my hubby to arrive from work.

By 6pm, I need to prepare our dinner and after dinner I've got nothing to do anymore. Yes, I do sometimes watch TV. When I feel a little boring, I take a really short nap. Just waiting until 10pm to put Zoe to sleep and then I will watch TV for a while before getting a goodnight sleep.

That's how my day goes.

My Home Styling

2009-05-29T23:57:00.000+08:00

My Home Styling is my latest blog. I've just started doing it today but have been thinking about creating a blog since last year when the construction of our new house started.

This new blog of mine will generally talk about home styling, my home styling; all about our new home.

Welcome To Our New Home

2009-05-28T22:10:00.000+08:00

We have officially moved in to our new house. It's not very far from our former home, just a few steps up away. We now live on the third floor, same building. Since Sunday, we were cleaning and moving things. It's very tiring but thank God we're able to move out at the right date.

Me and my hubby is super excited living in our new home because it's much bigger and more beautiful because it's new. Our daughter, Chantal, I think is experiencing a different excitement because she's getting a room of her own. However, for the meantime it's her playroom first because she can't sleep alone yet.

Now, I wish before the night ends, everything is set at the right place in our new house so that we can all sleep well during our first night. But I bet, it's not going to be easy on our first day at our new home as well the following days unless everything else is settled. Of course, there would be more changes to come. I don't think I need to mention what changes I'm talking about.

So that's it, welcome to our new home. I'll add photos as soon as everything else is settled and we're able to buy all the needed things to make our home really, really nice.

Still Cleaning

Since Sunday morning we're cleaning our the house where we're going to move out by Thursday. We keep going up and down the stairs to move a lot of stuffs from the first floor to the third floor of the building where our new house is built. We're all very tired, even my daughter Chantal who does little help like getting this and that, putting this and that to a specific place.

Well, we really need to clean and move our things the soonest possible because our target date to live in our new home is by Thursday, May 28, 2009. We need to see to it that by that day, we already sleep in our house.

We all know all will be worth it after all the things were move and the whole house is clean. We're all super excited to stay and live in our new house that's why we need to help each other clean and carry things even if we need to go up and down the stairs for more than 30 to 40 times in one day. Whew! It's really tiring to do such thing, but we really have to because it will be for our own sake.

Total General Cleaning

2009-05-24T21:15:00.000+08:00

Sunday is a family day for my family. However, today would be reserve for our total general cleaning of our new house where we would need to move in at by Thursday this week.

Thinking about all the stuffs we need to move out looks very tiring already. There are actually lots of stuffs that needs to be move out. Well, some can be thrown away already but there are lots of stuff that are for keeps.

Our new house is built on the third floor of the building where we currently live. With that situation, that means we need to move all of our things from the first floor to the third floor of the building. It's very tiring, don't you think? Well, it is so much tiring!

Thank God the carpenters help are still available, my hubby is here to help; our maid who is very good at doing such jobs, my little hands, and Zoe's little help.

A total general cleaning of our new house would mean cleaning the entire house. Sweeping and moping the floors, removing unwanted cements, cleaning the windows, and a lot more. Thinking about these is already tiring. Since last night, I can't help but wonder if we will be able to finish all these stuffs.

Another thing, I need to pack up and arrange our clothes. My goodness! I promised myself that I would give away all the clothes that I don't use anymore as well as Chantal's small clothes too. They're just getting a lot of space in our closet.

Layout Editing

2009-05-21T20:14:00.002+08:00

Below are the changes I've made to the blogger layout I've chose for my Home Styling blog.

BEFORE

AFTER

See the differences? Well, for me it was well edited, hehe! I really like it because I was the one I edited the layout in connection to my blog topic.

I had a little hard time doing some of the editing because my mind keep on changing in regards to what will I incorporate to my blog so that it will perfectly fit my new blog idea about home styling. After about 8 hours of editing and doing blog updates, I was able to do what I really wanted to do to my new blog. I was so happy with the result and feel contended about it.

I did a great job, can I say?

The Perfect Blogger Layout

2009-05-19T01:21:00.002+08:00

I was finally able to find and choose the best blogger layout so far for my new blog My Home Styling. Check out the really nice layout below and tell me what you exactly think of it.

You'll probably comment somehow that it wouldn't fit my new blog because my new blog is about home styling, yet the layout I've chose is about cooking or baking or anything related to such due to the cupcakes, the sweet menu word, etc. Yeah, you're right on that point, but I will always do some editing and you'll see that I'll be able to improve it to make it more homey. Meaning, it will fit my home styling blog.

How will I do that? Just do some editing on the cupcakes, on some wordings, etc. I'll post everything I edited from the layout above. I will not remove the credits of course. I gratefully respect the person who did make the layout above and will thank him/her a lot for the layout.

I'm really excited about this new blogger template. I've been thinking about the changes I'll do it. Oh my God, it won't make me sleep well again thinking about all my plans. I hope I'll be given enough time to do it. And hopefully, I'll be in the right mood while editing it and will not have a hard time in doing so. I also wish I will not have a hard time uploading new pictures to replace the ones in the original layout as well as all the widgets I'll be adding to complete the set up and look of My Home Styling blog.

Blogger Layouts

2009-05-16T00:10:00.008+08:00

Since I've started thinking about creating a new blog, I've been searching for the best blogger layout to use for my new blog about home styling. Fortunately, there have been lots of beautiful and well customized layout but not all of them fit my specific blog topic and idea.

What I really wanted was a three-column blog with some pink colors of course, not too complicated and can easily be edited. Good thing I have found one blogspot blog, Templates-Zone where I was able to find a lot of blogger layouts. I then had many picks and had a hard time choosing the best one.

Below are some of the layouts I've been choosing at.

These are just few of the blogger layouts I've chose and hopefully I'll be able to chose one from among these. But probably if I did find more beautiful and well customized layout, I might change my mind and chose some other layout. Of course I want the best one for my blog. I need to be able to choose only before I get to start blogging because I don't want to change the template once in a while, that would be too tiring editing, etc, etc.

My New Blog Idea

2009-05-14T00:15:00.001+08:00

For many months I've been wanting to create a blog about our soon to be finished new house and that would be the main topic of my blog, our new home. To make it more specific and for me to be able to discuss more of it on my blog, I decided to broaden its scope. I would mainly talk about our new home, our everyday living, as well as the home styling I prefer for our new house.

So if I'll be creating a blog about my home styling, I would need to be able to find a blog template that would perfectly suit my blog topic. Hmm, a blog template with a home and a garden? It'll be hard to find one I guess. A template with lots of furniture and decors? A little harder to find as well.

Then again, I would be searching for days and find templates I like and then choose one from all of them. I would go for a template that can be easily edited so I can make my own changes easily. I would also prefer a 3-column blog template so I can add more widgets, adsense, message board, etc. All these and more are what I want to put into my new blog. These are all what I want to incorporate into my home styling blog.

The blog title and url? I'm still thinking about it and I guess I would need days to be able to choose one as well as suggestions from my friends who are also bloggers. They could probably help me think and choose the best blog title.

What About A New Blog?

2009-05-10T05:16:00.000+08:00

Since the start of the construction of our new house, I've been thinking about creating a new blog. However, there are several reasons why I can't make it final.

First: My job schedule is hectic. I sometimes go to work 6am-2pm or 2pm-10pm. My extra time in the morning and in the afternoon is for my daughter Chantal, for my hubby, and for myself. Of course, I need enough sleep.

Second: I can't decide what my blog title would be; I can't decide what blogger layout I will use, etc, etc.

Third: I'm not yet in the mood of blogging about our new home. There are lots of things to be prioritize like my other blog.

Well, probably if I'm not that busy anymore I will be able to create a new blog. I think when everything is settled in our new house, I can start talking about it in my new blog.

Now what I kept thinking on is the blog title. I should be able to pick one that is still available.

Latest Home Pictures

2009-05-03T02:18:00.000+08:00

Below are the latest pictures of our soon to be finish home. My daughter Zoe is in the pictures, she's the model.

at Chantal's room (playroom for the meantime)

kitchen & sink area ( there are no cabinets yet below the sink)

bathroom area (I love it!)

living room and veranda area (I love it too!)

I wasn't able to take a photo of the two other rooms because there are lots of tools and cement all over.

Anyway, there are three rooms in our new house, for me and my hubby, Chantal's playroom, and maid's room. The place is really nice and it's definitely has a wide space than our former house. The floor is all tiled up so it look more elegant, however it would need more attention when it comes to cleaning it.

Two of the best spot in our house that I really love is the veranda because it's so windy and I just love being there watching children play, the cars from the street, the houses from all over, the nature, everything. Another is the bathroom because it looks big and really clean. I love the tiles because it's blue. It was my hubby who choose the design and we both agree with the tile color. All shades of blue is our favorite color.

Hopefully, before May ends, our house is already finish and before June starts we have already moved in to our new house. I'm really super excited to live in our new house.

Tentative Date

2009-04-29T08:20:00.000+08:00

The tentative date suggested by my father-in-law for us to move into our new house is May 28, 2009. That would be one month from today. Our house is almost done, probably some little things needs to be finished like the cabinets in the sink area, the electricity, and other important stuffs.

The date is 28 because according to the "oldies sayings" the date should be (how should I explain this) "pasakat" - how will I translate this one. Anyway, it's simple as writing the number 8, the last number on the date 28. If you write the number "8" you'll finish it in the upper position that's why they said, we should move into our new house with a date that is "pasakat" - I bet you already understand what I mean. Just ask me if you don't.

Super Excited

2009-04-26T00:21:00.000+08:00

Who will not feel super excited thinking about moving into a newly built house for your family? Hmm, I really can't wait no longer until we're able to finally move into our new house. I have lots of decorations to do, that's why I'm super excited about it.

For quite a while, I've been reading through my magazines (Good Housekeeping) and getting home ideas. I also surf the net once in a while searching for more home ideas, tips, and advice from experts and well experienced people. From these stuffs, I'm able to find a lot of home ideas which I will surely incorporate in our new home. Those tips and advice will surely help me also for do's and dont's to follow.

So that's it, I'm just super excited.

My Home Ideas

2009-04-21T23:31:00.001+08:00

Having a new house for my family is a very nice feeling, most especially on my part because there are certainly lots of ideas, home ideas that I have and want to incorporate into our new house. I'm not a professional interior designer nor have studied any in the field of such course, but I do have good taste when it comes to designing a house. I know how to properly combine colors and mix and match house decors, thus being able to create a unique style.

In today's new and latest style, I really do have lots of stuff which I want to add to my house like beautifully sewn curtains with colorful embroidery; beautiful and big vases, yet Zoe might just break it, colorful pillow cases and beddings, etc. However, the problem is I don't have enough money at the moment that's why me and my hubby is still saving more of our money so we can be able to buy everything we want.

There is also this really nice set of sofa we saw at the mall, as well as an elegant TV rack and closet. Well, they do cost so much that we can't afford to buy all of them at once. So, we would purchase them one by one, at least one item per month. Eventually, we'll be able to buy them all. We just wish nobody would buy them first. If ever, somebody else bought them, we hope there would be other stock of those items.

Thoughts Of Having A New House

2009-04-18T23:24:00.000+08:00

The thought of having a new house makes me really excited. But the thought of moving in to our new house very soon makes me super duper excited. Yes, in few weeks time, my family will move to our brand new house. It has three big rooms, spacious bathroom, kitchen area, dining area, living room area, and has a veranda. Whew! I can't wait to move to our new place.

Well, I fell really blessed that my in-laws are really kind to my whole family. Where else can I find kind and understanding people like them. They're really nice and generous that's why I think they're so blessed in their lives.

The first time my hubby told me that we will be given a very special gift which is a new house, I was really surprised and didn't expect that we will be given such gift in our entire life. Well, it was a promise and I'm really happy that it did came true.

So for now, I can't help but think of many ideas for our soon to be finish home. I'm super excited. I hope we can move the soonest possible.

The Most Special Gift

2009-04-15T05:25:00.000+08:00

Me and my hubby, as well as our daughter received the most special gift so far in our life. A brand new house was given to us by my father-in-law, my hubby's father. My father-in-law really promised to give us a house as soon as he retired, and yes, our house will soon be finish.

We really owe our new home not only to my father-in-law but also to my mother-in-law who helped us all through out. They are our saviors. You know what I mean, it happens in every family.

The new house being built is where we're going to live very soon, probably before the month of June starts. It will be our new home and where me and my hubby will continue to pursue our dreams. We really wanted to have nice home to live with where we can raise our daughter Chantal well and hopefully have an additional blessing in our life and more to come in the future.

We just both wish that everything will be fine, especially our financial needs. Well, we help each other when it comes to budgeting money. We save as much as we can and don't unnecessary things so to keep up with the budget and maintain our goals.

Of course, we would like the best for our family and also the best for our new home.

Just Excited

2009-04-07T20:10:00.000+08:00

I'm super excited and can't wait to live in our new house. In few weeks time, my family will already move into our newly built house and there we will continue to grow as a happy family.

I really can't wait to stay in our new home because I actually have lots of plans and counting. From the living room, bedrooms, kitchen area, bathroom area, as well as the veranda, I have lots of beautiful plans and hopefully, I'll be able to incorporate all of them.

Colorful Painted House

2009-03-30T21:07:00.002+08:00

Welcome to Mt. Baker Home

Check out the colorful inside of the house. It's really nice to look at. The person living in such house would probably have a very colorful life.

Sad to say, the house was already sold for $385,000.

"Gorgeous craftsman with owc galore and lots of light.High ceilings with crown mouldings, lots of built in cupboards and hardwood floors.The living room has a fireplace and a seperate dining room.The kitchen has lots of space to cook and entertain.There are two bedrooms upstairs and a third room that would be an ideal second bathroom.The owner is a professional painter and there are fab faux finishes throughout. There's lots of space to garden, off street parking and a garage."

Dream House: Modern Diva

2009-03-25T13:58:00.003+07:00

I've took a quiz from Facebook regarding what is my dream house, and was really happy with the result.

According to the result, I'm a Modern Diva when it comes to my choice of my dream house. It says that I enjoy all modern convenience in life. I work in the technology field and love modern art.

My comment: Who will not enjoy all modern convenience in life? Hehe! Work in technology field? Is blogging a technology field? Well, probably is some sense it it. I love modern art, I definitely do.

A Mansion

2009-03-20T20:44:00.002+07:00

A mansion is a large dwelling house where I really dreamed of living at one day. But I know that wouldn't come true, however I can always make it happen if I want to. All I need is to pursue my dreams and set important goals in my life and I'll be one step on closer to my dream.

I've searched the net today and found lots of wonderful mansions from all over the world. I hope I can see what's inside of these mansion. Check out the pictures below.

OMG! They're all beautiful. I really want to see what's inside of these mansions! I probably saw a few of what's inside of the last picture because it is one of houses in OC.

A House Is Not A Home

2009-03-15T20:38:00.002+07:00

A home is where a person live. As what people say, "Home is where the heart is." It is where love starts and where love should remain. A home should include a loving and understanding family that grows in real love. A home will not be a home if people are not caring and loving each of the family members, that's why a home is not considered a home if people do not know how to love.

A house is a structure that can be made of wood or bricks. A house is the one that keeps a loving and understanding family. It is the one that keeps everyone else safe from the outside surroundings. It is the physical structure that includes a wall, roof, and a door.

A "home" is where you live your life.

A "house" is where just the structure.

What Is A Home?

2009-03-10T11:12:00.001+07:00

For me, a home is composed of a happy and loving family members. As simple as that.

But what does the word "home" literally means? I've searched the net today and here's the definition I've got.

Wikipedia.org - "A home is a place of residence or refuge and comfort. It is usually a place in which an individual or a family can rest and be able to store personal property."

Dictionary.com - " a house, apartment, or other shelter that is the usual residence of a person, family, or household"

A home is really a place for people to live in where they can eat and sleep and where they can store in their property, personal property.

My Dream Home

2009-03-05T14:13:00.001+07:00

My dream home is one with a happy and loving family. A home is not a home if the people inside the house don't love each other or doesn't even care about each other. A home is where people love and care for each other and where they will grow as a wonderful family and will continue to grow as a big happy family.

It's true that I really wanted a big house, a mansion at that having a number of wonderful kids and a very loving and supporting husband. Well, it's just what I really wanted. But I'm already contented with what I have right now, a loving and supporting husband, and a really wonderful daughter. We have a nice space to live at, we eat three times a day, we have nice clothes and shoes, everything else is okay and I couldn't ask for anything. All these is enough to say that I already have my dream home. A home full of love and understanding coming from my husband and daughter. Hopefully, we'll have a new addition very soon and he or she will be part of our happy family and will help us to grow more as a family.

I know that no one is perfect, no family is perfect, no house is perfect. But if you yourself with the help of all your family members, everything could be perfect. Your home can be perfect. Enough effort, love, and understanding are the ingredients so as to make a perfect family.

I love myself, I love my husband, I love my daughter, I love my home and these are already enough to make me happy. They are the ones that completes my dream home.
