Concrete Road

The road in our barangay is almost finished, it is now cemented unlike before which is a dirt road. This new concrete road is beneficial among our local farmers where they can transport their harvest to the market easier.

The only disadvantages of having this cemented road is it is flooded when storm or typhoon came and the field is overflowed with water.  I think the irrigation is too small to accommodate the water coming from all the fields, our barangay also is the main source of gravel and sand so it is expected that big dump trucks are coming in and out from our barangay so hopefully the concrete road will stay good as it was built.

Home Renovation

My aunt  house is under renovation they transferred their living room to the right part of their house and they make the old living room as a bed room.  As what I know there’s someone who told them that they should transfer the bedroom to the left because it receives a lot of negative energy as it is the first thing you can see when you enter their gate and maybe that’s the reason why my cousins are always sick.

So when they saved enough money they start the renovation hoping that negative energy will disappear.

Building a Wall around the House

That’s the latest trends among our neighborhood, few of my relatives already built wall around their house. For me it feels like the people living around the community are not related and it is not a friendly neighborhood.  Anyway one of my cousin built a wall in their house because they are afraid that rebels might attacked them because her husband is a soldier and anyway I found out that building wall around the house  is not because of the unfriendly neighborhood it is because of the water. Yeah every time it rains there’s a flood around our neighborhood since they built irrigation, the water overflowed so to avoid the water destruction they decided to encircle their houses with walls.

Soundproofing the Floor

Today is general election day in Korea so most of the locals has no work, early this morning I was awaken when the family  living in the second floor came home. It sounds like the father is drunk, he shouted and then he started punching the metal door of  the electric meter’s. I have heard her wife and daughter trying to stop him while they are opening the main door, when they reached their apartment room I can hear the loud foot steps on our ceiling. It sounds like the father keeps banging anything, based on my analysis the father was picked up by her wife and daughter in one of the hof around the town and he maybe didn’t like it.

Now I know why soundproofing the floor is a must when you are living in apartment doors, it is to avoid disturbances when you are sleeping.  As what I have read soundproofing floors is not a complicated idea. You just need something between the hard flooring and the rest of the house to absorb noise.

What is Sunroom?

My classmate’s friends are always up to date with her social life abroad, just recently she posted about enjoying their time in a sunroom. Sunroom is an exterior part of the house where mostly homeowner’s enjoy their time during the day or night, sometimes  it also provide as venue for party or special occasions because it can provide excellent atmosphere.

There are some houses who have modern home exteriors because some homeowner’s believed that excellent sunrooms can improve the quality of their home.  If you don’t know yet home remodeling is one of the useful investment because our home can lives a good impression on who we are, and remodeling is the first impression which decides the value of  our homes.

Rugs For Home

Mostly we just old clothes or towel as rugs, it is cheaper than buying rugs every time they become useless and too dirty to wash. There are times no matter how you washed the rugs the brown stain can’t be removed anymore anyway you can make your home stylish by using rugs that will complement the color of your living room. Rugs is the firs thing your visitor can see when he enter in your living room.

Like most things we used  rugs come in wide range of designs, shapes and color combinations.  Choosing rugs always depends on your budget, taste and style.  You should remember that the primary colors of the rug should complement the wall, furniture, and furnishing colors of your house to create harmonious relationship.

How To Choose Bathroom Tiles

Most homeowners spend money for the beautification of their home and   bathroom is just one of the avenue of investment, choosing the right tiles for your bathroom can add value and pleasing environment.

One of the he important thing to consider when choosing bathroom tiles is to ensure that the tiles will blend in perfectly with the other furniture in your bathroom like the bath tub, sink and toilet. Adding glass tiling too can make your bathroom attractive and beautiful, you can also add accessories that will also blend with each other like towel sets, soap dishes, mirrors and towel holders.

Cream Couch

It is town fiesta today in my hometown and I am looking forward for festival pictures from my sister.  I am sure she had a lot pictures to share, dunno if they are already tired of me asking for pictures every time they went online. The funny thing they seldom ask for my new pictures it seems they are already tired looking at my ugly face,. haha

Anyway I saw a cream couch in the garbage area a while ago when we passed by the place when we went to the gym, if  it is not too big and heavy I am going to carry it here in our apartment so I can sit while blogging.

Gardening at Home

This is what I missed here. I can’t even plant a single plant unlike when I am still in Philippines I have a small backyard garden with string beans, ladies finger, sweet potato and eggplant. I cultivated them and do weeding when I have nothing else to do.

Photo not Mine

The picture above is not mine, my classmate’s seedlings on their green house. It seems she is having a lot of fun, at least she won’t missed the things she always do in our hometown, yeah she just migrated in the US month ago.

Window Curtains

We’re not able to sleep well last night. It is too bright inside our room, the garage light is on and our neighbor’s light is also on all night until morning, dunno what are they doing. We already plan to buy window blinds for our window but thinking that the landlord will not like it if we put hole or tear his wallpaper it stop us from buying it.

Last night I finalized  a plan. I am going to bring curtains here in our apartment once I went home in the Philippines, we have old curtains at home that can be used here. I am just going to buy hangers that can be stick to the wooden frame of our window instead of using concrete nails in our wall.
