House Plans


Owning our very own house is our main focus right now, we are saving up and maintaining a steep monthly budget, allotting big part of our income to built our dream house as soon as possible or maybe as soon as before Levi start schooling or even before I got pregnant again. Though we have some plans in our mind, we are still in the process of designing its interior finishes like what paint color suits each room better or if we would use Tiles for common areas and wooden flooring for the bedrooms and library. We also consider of choosing  Laminate hardwood flooring instead of real wood works since it cost much less cheaper and with the same beauty as the real woods.


My husband handles the house designs since he the Architecture in the family and since I am the Quantity Surveyor might as well make use of my profession and take care of its financial planning from the very start up to the last touch-ups of fixtures. We our pretty excited to start it up and see in our very own eyes how it will be constructed from ground to roof. Hopefully next year we can be able to find a good location to ground our plans somewhere in the city.

Barthroom Queen


Bathroom Queen (Banyo Queen) is what friends tag me most especially those who go to shower after me, sorry dears, but it’s one of the habits I can’t help myself doing. And I will rather choose not eat in favour of one long bathing. Long shower for me is a form of relaxation, detoxification and a way of relieving the stress from a day of work. Doing it feels like rejuvenating my body and mind.
My husband sometimes finds it amusing that I can spend long minutes lathering and shampooing, although most of the time he finds it very annoying especially when I am the first one to hop on the shower room. He would always grumble on how can I stay on a confine space with very poor bathroom lighting for an hour and find enjoyment to it, and I would just respond that men don’t know what self pampering means and that ends our petty conversation.
I know it’s getting in his nerves and even opt to change our house plans, he revise to make way for a “his” and “her” bathroom. It was such a pretty idea at least I don’t have to rush and cut my relaxation and I get to decorate my own bath as much as I please. I am planning to put a vanity strip & lighting for a more dramatic effect and a chic torchiere floor lamps for some added drama, what do you think?

Bed Talk


Is your bed big enough? My answer is a big no! Oh it had been a great mistake not to realize this back then when are buying stuffs to fill our apartment, but off course how will I know then that having a kid will surely demote my husband from bed down onto the floor and this made him a "floor manager" as what he fondly joke. And now we are in hunt for a larger one good thing I hit upon this site that offers wide array of bed frames and this one caught my attention StabLBase Ultimate Bed Frame with desirable features
