Weeee!!!!

Posted by Faye |

It's my 2nd time I drove alone in the freeway. yipeeee!!! It's a accomplishment for me since I was scarred to drive in the freeway because the cars drives so fast. Finally I've already overcome my fear. I'm now confident to go out, drive and go where ever I want :) Well, I'm not yet familiar to the highway and gps navigation is my best buddy nowadays :) But our old gps needs an update, it can't locate the new roads and establishments in the area. I was in Bestbuy earlier but I though of reading gps reviews first before buying a new one :)
Have a nice day everyone!!:)

Do It Yourself

Posted by Faye |

Watching HGTV everyday inspired us to do the interior ourselves :) We hired one painter to teach us how to paint since we don't have any experience at all. I collected different photos online and we chose the look that we like for our home. An Asian inspired home!:) We keep our old couches and some old stuff. Most of our accent displays and other stuff came from HomeGoods!:)
Anyway, here are some photos of our formal dining room :) It was a DIY job :) I painted the whole room and did the interior :) At first, I'm not sure about the red walls and when were buying the paint, I was about to change my mind hahaha pickle minded! I'm glad we stick with it and it turned out nice :)

Before
Our first home =)
Need another coating.
Our first home =)
After, this room catches our visitors attention =)
dinning

My husband suggested to have a personal touch, my photos printed and put it in a frame. It was taken from different beaches in the Philippines :) It is a very special photos because we spent a long weekend there :)
formal Dinning
A bamboo blinds & shades will complete the look :) I'm still convincing my husband to buy that blinds but as expected he said no, hahaha I understand ;) we don't have enough budget for the home improvement until next year :)
How do you like the look?:)

Hello!:)

Posted by Faye |

Hey hey hey! I'm still alive!:) How are you?:)

I've been busy on my offline life. I have so much things to do so little time!
Anyway, I was talking to my grandma earlier and she was telling me about this hydroponic systems. It is a method of growing plants using nutrients solutions, in water without soil. She loves plants and I think this method will work with her because we don't have a backyard back home :)
By the way, I would like to thank all my online friends and bloggers who joined my very first blog contest :) Thank you thank you!:) Because of this, I thought of having another contest again :wink wink: I'm still finalizing the mechanics and prizes :) Stay tuned!:)

Something

Posted by Faye |

We went to the outlet earlier :) It was kinda crowded, most of them were teenager with shopping bags, getting ready for the school opening. There was a huge SALE banners in the windows of the shops which was so hard to ignore! But I controlled myself and just went to two shops. I returned some stuff that I bought the other week because I realized that I don't need it now :( I really wanted to keep them but there's no enough space in the closet *sigh* Anyway, after two hours of scanning, I grabbed something for myself again sssshhhhhh My dear husband was not with me then so I had a chance to bought it! Don't worry it was a good deal!:) It was as good as the deals on netbooks that I saw in the other shop which I'm pretty sure the students will not resist!;) I'm still hiding it in the other closet, I hope my husband will not see it or else I'm in big trouble! hahaha

Birthday Dinner

Posted by Faye |

Sharing some photos taken from my birthday dinner :)
BDAY

We attended a mass and we headed straight to the restaurant :) I'm loving our place!:) The Church and the restaurants are less than a mile from our home. Imagine how convenient it is?:)
Anyway, we just celebrated my birthday with a simple dinner :)
FOOD-BDAY
Our mouth watering food for the evening- Coconut shrimp, Calamares, Mushed potato and Ribeye Steak!:) yummy! It was our first time in that place, some modern sofas inside the restaurant caught my attention. It's like you're entertaining guest in your own home . A group of teenager occupied that corner, they were drinking beers and it's like they were having a small party :) My husband and I wanted a relaxing place so we chose the table in the garden even though the weather was kinda cold. We're enjoying the summer because we know in few weeks time, the summer is over and the fall is here... The food came out just in time. I had a quick bite of Calamares . It was good! I almost finished all of it hahaha Though we're not satisfied with the Steak, we can cook it better at home =) Well, I think that would be our first and last in that restaurant hahaha at least we tried :)

I grew up in a tropical country and going to the beach is one of my favorite thing to do. When I was still in my home town, you could find me in the beach on long a weekend :) We always wants to escape from a noisy and crowded city like Manila. Of course, massage and Spa completes our vacation :)

Let me share to you my favorite beaches ;
  • Antulang Beach in Dumaguete
  • Apo Island in Dumaguete
  • Boracay
  • Pagudpod Ilocos
  • Grande Island in Subic
  • Bohol
  • Lakawon Beach in Bacolod
  • Shangrila Mactan Cebu
And I'd like to add Amanpulo in the list *wishful thinking*

It's two years now since the last time I spend a long weekend in the beach. And I missing it badly! My husband and I planned to spend my birthday in either Mexico or Bahamas but when we much it will cost we backed out! hahaha We'll just save the money for a grand vacation in Palawan. :D I hope we could in two years time :)

Alright enough of day dreaming, I need to go now I have to talk to my friend, I asked her to buy me pieces of accessory and a summer dress from a wholesale distributor in Greenhills area. I'm excited to wear it!:)

Tata!:)

School

Posted by Faye |

I already mentioned in my previous post that I'm planning to go back to school. I've been searching for a good school for two weeks now - most of them were offering an online classes and I was surprised to learned that there's an Online Elementary Schools as well. I've visited four of the schools and I was thinking to get an Associate Degree in Web Design but when I learned how much it will cost I changed my mind hahaha I'll get a Certificate Program instead besides I already have a degree so taking up an Associate Degree will be a waste of money for me :) I'm eying this Training School that accredited by Adobe Inc., I already contacted them and I'm hoping to get their answer by next week :) That's it for now folks!

By the way, I will be posting the details of my blog contest in a while :)

Happy weekend everyone!:)

Update

Posted by Faye |

So, life has been busy and tiring but I make sure that I have time to the things that matters the most... my family and friends :) I'm not always online lately... I'm too busy of a lot of things - job hunting, household chores and school hunting. Yes, I'm planning to go back to school but I'm not sure yet, we have to check our finances first. So the Orlando vacation that my husband and I were planning has to wait. We have to set our priorities or else our finances will be in trouble... Our priority now is for me to go back top school - again. I already have a degree and this associate degree that I'm eyeing will be the key to have a good career :) I hoping that this plan will push through :)

Zen

Posted by Faye |

My favorite accent displays inside our humble abode.
favorite
I bought a couple of blue vases but after the housewarming I thought of changing it into these :) I love the Zen effect in our home, I bought real house plants and artificial ones - I put it to the different corners of the house :) I love the peaceful and relaxing ambiance... Now we love to stay at home most of the time :) We brought our furniture and some stuff from the apartment, we just bought a few pieces of furniture - dining set and bedroom set to be exact and the rest were old stuffs, even our old posturepedic mattresses. I'm not complaining :) It's the most comfortable bed we ever had so I don't mind if we didn't bought a new one :) And besides my husband, bought it just a few years ago so it's still new :D

Anyway, August is my birth month :) As I mentioned in my previous post I will be having a blog contest. Do you see the top commentators widget on my side bar? It's just part of it - will post the mechanics soon!:) Stay tuned for great surprises coming your way!

Have a nice day!:)

Oh No!

Posted by Faye |

I was cooking last night when my husband found the paper bags that I was hiding inside the closet hahaha He asked me if these bags are mine, I can't deny it so I said "yes". As expected he wants me to choose just one bag! Yes one! Why I couldn't keep them all? I love them all! :)
Its so hard to get into buy and sell business, especially if you’re maliciously addicted to bags! It's unhealthy for your business and for your wallet as well! hahaha I need to obey my husband or else I will be grounded to shop.
So I need to choose just one bag... I need your help folks, which one?:)
