Buhay-buhay

  • Hanggang ngayon tuwing namamalengke ako o naggo-grocery, nagugulat pa rin ako kakarampot na items na inaabot na lang ng budget ko. Pakonti ng pakonti dahil sa sobrang mahal. Paksyet!

The Life’s Area

One of the favorite places in a house is the living area or living room. The word living comes from the word life thus it is the living room that breathes life into a home. It is the main artery of the house, which mirror also the person’s personality.

A home is never complete without a space where one can relax, receive and entertain visitors, converse or just simply do nothing!

The presence of modern furniture in a home says so much about the individual who lives there. From the choice of colors, the textures, and designs of modern furniture: when being put all together in a home, it is not only defining the person’s unique style but generally reflects a part of someone’s lifestyle too.

Tanging Bahay,Tanging Yaman

Pitong araw na lang at mag aalsa-balutan na kami ng mga bagets ko para pansamantalang makikikain…makikitulog…makikitira sa Cainta. Makiki-pasko kaming magnanay sa bahay ng bunso kong kapatid.

Excited ako dahil 2 weeks akong:

  • Hindi mamalengke. Pansamantalang in absentia ang beauty ko sa pakiki- pagtawaran sa wet market ng Iligan City.
  • Makakatikim na ng manikyur ang mga kamay ko dahil hindi siguro naman ay hindi ako maglalaba ng damit dun.
  • 2 linggo akong gigising sa umaga na kukuya-kuyakoy, lalafang ng libre na hindi kukultahin ang utak sa pag iisip kung ano ang lulutuin na pang-almusal.
  • Pahinga ang pitaka ko sa pagbibigay ng baon sa mga bagets ko.
  • Maiiba ang anyo ng paligid ko at pansamantala kong maiisip na malaki pala ang mundo.

Make Life Easier

storage-cabinets.gifI don’t have a house helper at home. As a solo parent of two teenagers, I have a hectic schedule of doing the house chores alone that is why I make use of whatever extra time I have to organize the household – be it just 20 or 30 minutes.

Before I retire to bed, I do one or two small task like straightening throw pillows scattered in the living room, returning DVDs to their cases, or sorting out the contents of lockers or storage cabinets. I want all lockers be really organized to make our things easier to find. It is important too that the lockers have many compartments and shelves. Organizing a cabinet or locker is a challenge, but you can do it if you organize your thoughts before you act.
