Bunk Beds
DIY Bunk Bed via http://granddesignco.blogspot.com/2012/01/bunk-beds.html
That Pinteresting is addictive and totally inspiring is a given. I’ve been meaning to try the recipes I’m seeing there, to visit the places that are so picturesque and do the do-it-yourself home improvement ideas such as the one above. The bunk beds that would be wonderful for the kids’ room is one of those I aim to do. One bed for each with another to spare for a friend spending the night over. This is also a convenient alternative to traditional dorm room bunk beds we’re used to seeing. Bunk beds are space savers and give the kids endless playful ideas.
Here’s another one that is so inspiring and cozy-looking being integrated on cool, powder blue walls.
- Another one I found on Pinterest, wouldn’t this be a better sleeping environment?
If you are thinking of getting bunk beds then consider the option of doing it yourself with the help of many tips from bloggers around. I’m sure google would be a lot of help or hire professionals to do the job for you. If DIY is not your thing then there are a lot of websites selling bunk beds in designs that would match your taste.
Bunkbeds.net is one of those sites. They carry a wide range of beds and bunk beds designed to soothe one’s preferences. To help you in choosing a bunk bed, consider the following points.
Room Measurement. Consider the room that the bunk bed will be. Take measurements here and there especially the ceiling height. Consider at least 2 feet of extra height from the top bunk to the ceiling to avoid bumps.
Bunk Bed Features. They’ve evolved for the better through the years. Some have compartments under the lower bunk to maximize use space. This could also be a pullout bed so there’d be a third bed. There are also loft styles, which looks like an elevated bed with space under that can be used for other stuff. A desk or a small sofa or a small cabinet perhaps. There’s also those with integrated sofa beds. The bunk other is a sofa in the morning and could be turned to a full bed at night — serves a double purpose. Moreover, there are bunk beds that come with a set of desks, drawers, dressers and other furniture in matching color and design. Just like the picture on the right.
There will definitely be a lot of styles in the market, upon considering the above points it is still important to choose a style and make that will make you and your kids happy. Take his/her opinion in to consideration, her favorite color perhaps, her favorite movie character and incorporate a bit of those into what you will have to choose.

Vanity Bathroom
Among the many things I’d like to redo at home is our bathroom lighting and mirror. Not that vanity lighting sounds better, well, such fixtures looks way better and elegant too.
At the moment, our bathroom looks as though an old couple lives in it. It has brown tiles, wood panel ceiling that made it look gloomy and lighting embedded into the panel. In short, it’s not my ideal bathroom. I’d definitely have it redone soon!
This photo is our corner cabinet by the bathroom. I was supposed to hang that mirror but since it wouldn’t match the colors inside and the built of the bathroom cabinet hubby installed, I’m left with having to put it on this cabinet along with a photo of the kids, some flowers and candles. It’s part of our mud hall and I occasionally use it as paper corner — for all our lots of paper and bills!
Aside from elegant lighting fixtures, any of those big vanity mirrors is on my list of “to buys” for our bathroom. We have one that we bought just for the sake of having a mirror – it has a small panel where we can put the basics; handwash, toothpaste, comb but it’s too small and stuff tends to fall into the sink if I am in a hurry. A total vanity bathroom would be really nice. Like complementary colors of the wall, sink, mirror and other small details.
This is typically how I would want our bathroom to look like. Contemporary and elegant in black and white. Since the bathroom cabinets are wall-mounted, it’s easier to clean the floor, one of least I enjoy cleaning.

Alternative Electricity at Home
We got new fish! Our 12-inch arowana died after being with us for 5 years, our 14-inch pleco died too just last week so the kids are a bit sad. They also called our aquarium, empty-boring tank. So hubby decided to put in guppies. His friend has a nano tank and it’s beginning to overflow with guppies so he gave away a handful (perhaps 20). The kids were not used to having small creatures in the tank since we’ve had big malawis, oscars, kois and the arowana for the past five years – all 3 inches and bigger.
Barely a day at home, one of the fish spawned 9 fingerlings. The kids were curious. Hubby has been keeping the lights on for most of the day and I wish there’s an alternative electricity at home that we can use to lessen our yearly electricity bill (we paid 285€ for excesses and we pay 150€ every two months). We haven’t been using our heater much so imagine if we do. The season is getting chilly now and we have to use it sooner or later.
The following day hubby took us to the pet shop to buy plants and we saw these neon on sale for 1€ each. We got 10 of them and they along with the guppies, look quite happy swimming about in a bigger tank than before. Hubby decorated the tank with plants ad the kids content themselves watching the fish doing rounds.

Hindi ako naging maagap sa nakaraang tema, pagkahirap kasing mag-isip kung ano ang ibig sabihin ng mga salitang ito 
- Yeah excuses excuses! Sorry po at na-late ako…parehong dahilan, eskwela, bahay at facebook! joke joke!
Masinop, sabi sa diksyonaryo orderly daw, pwede din siguro yung malinis or mainam. Ganyan ang gawain ko sa bahay ang magdilig ng halaman, maging masinop para naman wala kalat…lumang litrato na itong ikalawa, madalang na makikita na ganito kasinop ang aming bahay…ulit: dahil sa eskwela, mga bata, at facebook!

Happy LP!

Tamad – Lazy

Malamang nakita ninyo na ito dati, ginamit ko din sa isang meme na pareho ang tema, tamad (literal na couch potato kasi ang histura)…pero ganito naman talaga ang mga bata ineenjoy ang sarili nila. (Hindi sha marunong maglaro, hinawakan nya lang) Pero sino ang magsasabing tamad siya, kapag naglalaro kami ng tennis ay siya ang pinakamasipag nagpupulot ng bola…napagod na nga kaya sa litratong ito ay nakaupo na naman….di naman tamad, pagod lang!

Singapore – Weekend Snapshot
Dr. Jose Rizal once said “Ang hindi lumingon sa pinaggalingan ay hindi makakarating sa paroroonan.” (He who does not look back at where he came from will not reach his destination.) Reason why I thought it important that my kids learn about their paternal grandfather’s (and aunts) as well as their dad’s second home, Singapore. It was also to somehow help me and my mom feel better about the loss of my dad. We did enjoy our trip then though I forgot to take a photo of sis in law.
