One of our neighbor in the Philippines built their house in the middle of the fields, it looks  like a rest house which looks very refreshing during summer.  Most of the materials they used are bamboo shoots, coconut leaves and lumber. It is a two story house  with stairs to the second floor and  what make their house more attractive is their beautiful  flower garden on their backyard.  The only problem is too much light during day time because it is built in an open place, the curtains are not enough when it is windy, I think they should use bamboo shade on their window.  There are bamboo shades or commonly called bamboo blinds that are cheap and affordable that will match their entire decoration.

The other day I went to the market again this time to buy kimchi for my stew. We just arrived home  from shopping our daily needs when I had a decision to cook my chicken stew  but  I found out my husband ate some of the kimchi, in short it is not enough anymore to cook my stew.

Aside from kimchi I decided to buy bleach, the bleach I have bought year ago is already empty. I hop to another supermarket to another looking for the same brand but I still end buying another brand.

I wonder what is on this bleach why it washes vegetables, fruits and fish. I wish I can read Korean huh?  Most of the bleach in the supermarket is also applicable to the images on this brand. Anyway bleach is commonly use to disinfect and clean the house,  the kitchen, bathroom and of course to remove stain on white clothes and to use it on food is new to me.

Our neighbor which is an old woman  is collecting  cartons around the community and I think she sells them in a junk shop  afterwards. As we always buy tray of eggs every week I keep the trays and when I saw her outside I gave it to her.  I do not throw them immediately at the garbage site.

Egg carton has a lot of usage one of them is for soundproofing, I remember when we are still in college our English instructor asked us to bring egg carton for the language room, the egg carton will served as soundproofing the room. The cartoon was taped around the room that made the room so dark and cold.

One week to go and it is already our most awaited town fiesta. Festival and awarding ceremonies will be held soon in our town plaza so I am sure the organizers are busy on collecting gifts from sponsors either in kind or in cash. Sometimes even our people living abroad also shared their blessings, but I am sure there are also some people who are doubting if the money they sent went to the right hands. You know sometimes when life become busy small details can be forgotten, anyway if you are living abroad you can still pledge your sponsorship in kind because you can now buy personalized  trophy cups online where you can rightfully choose the best trophy for winner  and runner ups it is either in beauty pageant or sports competition.

Few months ago the door handle of the ladies locker room in the gym was accidentally locked inside and the key is cannot be found. So the owner call someone to fix it, when the guy arrived it took him 30 minutes to remove and changed the door handle  into a new one. Some of the ladies patiently waited in the receiving area while the guy is tweaking the door I am just too lucky that we are still doing cardio so I don’t need to wait  until his finished.

No matter how careful the guy was there still cracked left in the wooden door. The locker room is now using a round door knob which can mostly found in classical homes. Like most product we are using on our daily living  door handles also come to variety of styles and purposes. The common use is to protect our home from thief and  burglar, other people uses them as decoration.

My family already bought few materials that is needed to start the construction of our house except for cement because cement will be hard as stone if left unattended.  I need to send more online earnings home and  we can maybe begin the construction. Our house is a semi-concrete half of the foundation is made from hollow blocks but the rest are woods which was already eaten by termites and the roof is  galvanized iron like what mostly houses in the Philippines are made of. The sad part we need to tear our house and build  a new one few meters away from it because my uncle own the piece of land where our house is standing.

We are planning to build a two story house if  money forbid because it is the best we can do. We can’t build a larger house because the land is not enough.  Anyway if we’ve finished building our dream house buying furniture is next and I would love to have a small garden in our front yard where we can plant flowers in a pot and have a little space to rest maybe a swing  from Adirondack furniture  will be great I have heard they have  the best furniture for outdoors like table and chairs. I should browse their collection to look for the perfect swing I have in my mind.

My older cousin gave birth on their third child few months ago and I think the baby strollers from JustStrollers.com will be a perfect gift to her newly born son on his first birthday and church dedication.   A stroller can make her daily activities  much easier and less tiring. My cousin don’t need to carry her son all the time all she need to do is let the kid sleep on his stroller and check it from time to time.

Like most stuff strollers has many types  there are  light weight strollers, heavy, double, standard, vintage, travel and jogging strollers for active parents who love jogging and taking long walk with their babies. Choosing the right stroller always depends on your lifestyle and interest. If you want a stroller that you can carry and fold anytime you should consider buying light weight strollers.

Dieting is common among young people, it can be good and it can be bad. Some people starved their selves just to lose weight which is very improper and unhealthy. Starving yourself can make you weak and irritated, my husband told me once  not to starved myself if I want to lose weight because my body stores more of the fat and slows my metabolism down.

When one of my female cousin is still single she has a  chubby figure and she is always on a diet by starving herself  and I think she even try to use diet pills just to remove the unwanted fats from her body. One of the best example of diet pills is  Lipofuze an  extreme formula that can be used very safely.

There are a lot of diet pills around that you can buy without prescription but before you do it please be aware of the side effects, because like dieting by starvation taking diet pills is also unhealthy and it can affect your health seriously. The side effects can start from headache and can lead to heart attack and even death. If you want to loss weight always remember proper exercise and balance diet can do the job.

There are times are clothes in our closet stinks like the food we are cooking in the kitchen. As what I have observed when we first arrived here, our apartment has a bad architectural planning. When you enter the front door it is also our small kitchen. Much better if they put the kitchen in the balcony where our fridge is located.

Anyway one day when I went to Daiso to look for items that I need I have seen this wardrobe deodorant. Seeing the cheap price I bought one sachet to try it in our closet.

When my husband saw it he just nod his head like saying I again wasted my money, so without a word I just told him it is only cheap and not expensive like what he is thinking. Well he just let me do what I want to do, I hanged the wardrobe deodorant in between our clothes and I can already smell the rose aroma coming from it.  The money I spend is not wasted.

In our province it is already normal to see snakes or tarantula inside your house especially after the storm. That’s why I am surprised to know that in the city or in the US there’s a wild life removal company that will do it for you. They will clean and  repair any damages brought by the animal and even deodorize and sanitize your home. Which I think too much if you can’t do it alone.

Well maybe because living in the urban areas and in the city has a really big difference. People in the province are properly equipped with sharp hunting tools unlike living in the city most houses are not equipped with jungle bolo the best example is us all we got is one kitchen knife  so how could someone expect that we can also get rid of wild life animals with our self. In short we also need wild life removal companies.
