HipHop Class

The little girl is already very excited as we got already her dance apparel for her upcoming hip hop class starting next week! We actually got it from Capezio Dance in Shangrila Mall. Apparently, they've got all kinds of dance skirts, dance shoes and even blouses appropriate for any dance theme. They have a number for ballets both for kids and adults. Initially, I wanted to enroll the little girl to a ballet class but the husband doesn't want. He said he prefers the hiphop class which is happening also in the little girl's school.  I'm excited also for the final show at the end of the sessions.  I hope my little girl will break a leg!  (not literally though) lol!

We have moved!

Yes, we have moved already last weekend.  It was a full week last week to pack and clean everything.  Great that I did it already so we are almost settled when we moved sunday morning.  There are still few stuff to fix but we are getting there.  The pocket gardens as the side and at the back are also fixed now.  We are working on the main lawn area.  I hope they would get to finish everything by next week.  Will have a simple celebration with immediate families this coming weekend as we would have the house blessing.  But the major parties would just happen in time for my bday and the husband's bday in June.  

For the lawn...

The lawn is being fixed now. They are also putting perimeter walling already. Thank goodness, the neighbors agreed to use up parts of their walls so we were able to save to some sides. So now, the interior designer is busy fixing the garden area. I already agreed to the husband that he would put a small court within the lawn area. It would actually be used as the party area where we can put say the buffet area when we have events in the house. I'm no gardener and so as the maids so I am starting to research on how would be our usual routine to take care of the garden/lawn area. Have you heard about the latest organic lawn fertilizer? I learned that going organic with your garden can actually bring out a lot of beautiful benefits. Using such fertilizer can actually decrease the chances of diseases in the family especially if the kids would usually play in the lawn area. It also pose mental and physical benefits since it is not synthetic at all. The fertilizer actually allow the soil to better retain nutriets and moisture so it would be safe to also plant some veggies around. It would always be safer brand to choose actually because it is released nutrients in a controlled-time release fashion.   So although it is quite on a higher end for its price, I think it would still be worth it to try as well.  I wonder where I can get these kind of fertilizer on of the rack shelves.  

The perfect home office...

I am still on search for the perfect home office furniture. I have a specific design in mind and I'm frustrated that I cannot find anything from stores in the malls. So now, I am contemplating if I would just have it customized or order online. I would like something like what I saw from Formaspace. I want their ESD Workbench which is known for its technical functionality and durability. I even have an option for their quick shipping offer of just 5 days.  But the husband is thinking otherwise.  He just wants me to settle to what he saw from an office store yesterday.  I would look at it today and if still doesnt pass my standards, maybe I should just really have it custom-made.  

I miss beauty!

I'm probably missing beauty (my chevy black optra). I have always like a black car and I like how manly it should look. So if ever would get a chance to get a new car next year, I would get a black Honda Civic. But the husband prefers a white 4x4 like a Toyota Fortuner. It won't hurt getting two! Wishful thinking!

You Should Drive a Black Car

You're the type of driver who's totally dominant and even a bit aggressive. You see the road as a "dog eat dog" world... and you're not about to get eaten! You like to drive a vehicle that conveys power. Big engine. Big price tag. You rule the road - and you like everyone to know it.

What Color Car Should You Drive?

Instead of a mirror...

I am looking for a nice mirror for the vanity table. I went to the mall yesterday but didn't find a nice one to hang. Instead, I was able to get a new Perfume for myself. I have been eyeing to get it online before from Perfume Mart but didn't get a chance at all. So I was happy that it was available as well in the store. I would probably just get one for the husband from online since Perfume Mart offers unbeatable prices for their selections.  So I would be hitting the mall again, a different one this time to finally get a vanity mirror.  Oh, this endless purchasing for the new house!  I am already broke!

Counting the days...

Yes we are just counting the days for the big move. Can't wait. But will hit the mall today for my endless shopping! Seems like I can see something lacking everytime I go to the dreamhouse. Its addicting actually. For the meantime, I can't wait as well to be finally settling down.

General cleaning...

was our drama the whole weekend! We had to polish the entire wood flooring on the second floor, map the floors, clean all the bathrooms and cabinets. This week, would be putting and organizing stuff already. Few things should still be transported like the gas range, the TV and other boxes.  We realized that there are still a number of items we need to purchase.  Its like there's no ending to that!  Small items like padlocks, water hose, pails and even those basins!  I would be doing a lot of shopping this week!

Something like a wedding invitation...

With my seven years in business, I am suprised as to how things have been evolving from wedding themes even to the finest details of wedding preparation. I am celebrating my 7th year in the business this year and it such a good way to actually be thankful for all the blessings along the way so I am thinking to celebrate by August. Of course, it would happen to the new house. As early as now, I am thinking already of what could be the best theme for the party. I want something very formal but chic. I want to start off by looking for possible formal invitations to send out to suppliers friends. I like to give out something very much like some of the latest trend in Wedding Invitations now which I found online from Storkie.  In fact most of my clients are getting and ordering online invitations, announcements or even any cards like holiday greeting cards or thank you cards from them.  Well, ordering from them is so easy and quick with the software that they use to customize the design you want.  In fact, their rates are suprisingly affordable as well without compromising the quality of paper and printing as well.  So I guess I better decide really on the design soon so I can have it shipped out early. 

Haircut!

I badly need one actually. So I'm browsing and checking out short style which could be appropriate for me. I want to have a new cut and color which would be in time for our party in the house. I'm thinking to get some highlights as well. I hope to do it very very soon!

Its freaking hot...

these days! And can you imagine driving along the busy streets with a busted Air conditioning compressor? Gee, I bet you will be get a headache afterwards if you don't have auto air conditioning. Yesterday, while I was on my way to the grocery store, I find my aircon not functioning well.  I had to bring it right away to the nearest gas station and ask the technician to look into it.  He said that A/C compressor is overheating.  Good thing, he was was able to fix it right away.  I know how expensive it is to get a new auto A/C compressor so I was glad I don't need to buy a new one.  But he told me to just check 1airconditioning.com website for any of my needs since the company offers all types of parts with free shipping and warranty.  

The Centertable Piece

I feel that this centertable piece lacks color so I have been thinking on what to put or add into it. Although the interior decorator said this would do for the meantime since it exudes elegance. Well, I agree on that. But I plan to change the colors of the candles eventually depending on the mood or the occasion.  For the meantime, I plan to buy some green leaves to put on the white bowl. 

This is how it looks like now...

This is not one of those Schumacher Homes in Houston. I wish it was located in the next hot spot in real estate market, which is Texas and also built by one of the finest home builders in America but no, the above is just how the dreamhouse looks like now. And we are so proud of it. It was the fruits of our labor, of patience and hardwork for 7 long years before we finally have a place we call our own. But we are so happy as well for the construction and architectural and interior design of the house since it was done by a reliable contractor.  Our uncle and aunt really helped us to achieve the house we have dreamt of eversince.  We can't wait to sleep here.

Ladder

and a high one is basically what I need in order for us to clean this drop down light in the living room.  We also need to clean and change our curtains eventually.  So I am already looking to get one for our household need.  The husband was very happy with my choice of the drop down light.  He altleast didn't mind what he heard about the price of it.  And the curtains, I was happy with the turnover of it.  It was perfectly what I want.  And we are moving on this house very soon!

 

For the dirty kitchen...

Do you know where I could get those exterior shutters? Need one for the dirty kitchen. Please comment if you know one.

Scented Candles

You Should Light a Citrus Candle

You are optimistic yet restless. You love your life but always are thinking of bigger and better things. You love being on the move. You have plenty of energy to chase your dreams. You're the type of person who trusts your gut. You're very independent, and you've made some unusual choices in your life. You are cheerfully offbeat and a true free spirit. You challenge others to get more out of life.

What Scent Candle Should You Light?

With a lot of candles I recently bought for the house, I was amazed that I actually chose those citrus scents so this test is really very me. I love fresh scent. I like orange and vibrant colors. So I guess I really made the right selection of the scents I have.  I have those in every corners of the house.  Just need to make sure kids are away from it. 

Considering Home Security

Last night, the husband and I are talking about possible acquiring a home security system for the house. Well, we have a brief background about it since we used to be a deliver of adt home security in the country. Way before I started my events company and we were just few months after the wedding. We know how important it is for any home especially that my parents wont be staying with us anymore.  The maids are going to be left behind instead and we do not want to compromise the safety of our kids when we are not home.  Its a totally different scenario now.  We were discussing that one of us should really be home early to make sure that there is one who would be supervising them.  I know we would have to adjust to this system but I'm pretty sure we can get by especially that we really might get a home security system.

The Living Room

The furnitures are just perfect.  I love the pieces.  Congratulate me as I was the one who chose the centerpiece accent.  But please do not ask anymore how much.   But I like it since I can change the colors of the candles depending on my mood or the occasion.  I think I still lack some greens or any splash of color to it.  Its a work in progress so watch out what  I would have to add up there.  This dreamhouse is one big project, i tell you!
