My Online World

… has been stricken off in our list. We were able to put up a shaded roof in the terrace area and it looks pretty well. The only remaining is our bathroom makeover which has been put on hold for the longest time because of lack of funds, we’re optimistic though that it will be realize this October. DH said that part of his birthday gift for himself will be allotting budget for the bathroom makeover. Sweet! Who knows, we might be able to pull off a clawfoot tub for it!  That will be that last big splurge for home makeover and next home project will be new furniture and appliance for the house! Hope that my online gigs will do good for the next coming days for my contribution this

We’re not really going somewhere else to celebrate or unwind while taking advantage of the long weekend. Sounds boring I know! but we opted to stay home to relax and laze around. Besides, there’s an upcoming weather disturbance so staying at home would be the most practical thing to do. There are still few things that we need to do around the house, it has been long since we had general cleaning. We will be also fixing things up like our ac, there’s this noisy sound that won’t go away. Only if we have a reliable service center like the AC repair in Charlotte NC, problems like this would definitely be solved easily. The nearest one that we have here does not really specialize on AC but with general electronic gadgets so we are somewhat doubtful in bringing the unit to them. We are also planning to buy a new one, but we still have to save a lot for it

After cleaning and fixing things around the house, we would also be paying a visit to my parent’s place.  It’s been so long  since we last visited them  and it will be my mom’s 66th birthday on Sunday. Perfect time to greet her too! So it will be all about house and family bonding for the long weekend. )

I am so looking forward to the long weekend next week. I have so many things that I need to do on my list and I want to finish them all to maximize the four days two days off from work. Day one includes finishing off household chores; laundry, general cleaning, ironing of clothes, all of these actually would mean whole day as it is really time consuming. Day two includes a trip to the mall to canvass on TV parts, we need to look around on some universal remote controls that we can use for the TV set and our digital cable box since the TV remote is showing signs of giving up already. We would also be looking for  Whirlpool appliance parts as requested by my SIL.

DH and I enjoyed going around an appliance store as we get to see different items and new models that we want to buy for our house. But sometimes, it is quite depressing when you have a very limited budget. Ahaha! But on a lighter note, it is a good motivating factor for us to strive and work harder to achieve and be able to buy those things as it is also a form of good investment for us.

As much as we wanted to start on the renovation of the kids’ room, we did put on hold with the project to give way to the kids educational expenses first. Both of them will be having their exams this month and we are yet to pay their school fees that are due in a couple of weeks from now. We will push through with the renovation once we settled other important financial obligations first. We already have the plans for the room and has to start with the tile removal first because some of the old tiles were broken already and we wanted a new design that will fit with the over all theme for the kids.

Some of the materials to be used are already available like the needed floor grinder, because DH’s friend works in a construction company specializing on the said flooring work area, he will also be dealing with the concrete polishing and other needed things to be done. Kids can’t wait to have their own room already, but I hope that they would really be sleeping there and won’t have to go back in our room when it’s really sleeping time. Hope our much anticipated funds will also reach us in time. 

One of the things that we always take into consideration whenever we had a house makeover is to look around for new designs and concept ideas, but also had to make sure that home lighting fixtures will always be present as I love to have abundant light in different parts of the house. Yes, I hate darkness. I always go for well lighted rooms as it signifies a bright and clear ambience for the entire household.  There are now environment and pocket friendly fluorescent lighting fixtures available in the market. What I really like with them is that you can choose different styles and designs.

Some really has the unique designs that really catches one’s attention, giving a good impression and of course the credit to the taste of the owner of the house. They not just serve for the lighting purpose but also a a decorative piece when not in use. We are yet to look for discount lighting fixtures a couple of months from now. DH will still have to check out the newly release models that are more energy efficient lighting abroad as per her sister’s advice. Can’t wait for the new lighting pieces that will add more vibrant around the house.
