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.

Masinop, Maagap para sa Litratong Pinoy

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!

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.

Fashionista at work
Going home to the Philippines isn’t complete without a day spent on a shopping spree….of course with my bestest friend. But because she works and I don’t our choices for clothing were pretty much different. However, there were also stuff that we agreed on, thank goodness office clothing/suits need not be as how it used to. Nowadays, fashionistas at work are not talked about behind the back but are more accepted if not asked upon by co-workers as to where they can buy rare if not modest clothing for women. My friend and I had big bags of loot that day but it does seem not enough. Glad there are online shops that sells gorgeous dresses and skirt or office wear (just in case I would need some in the future). Tabeez.com is one of the recommended stops for those who love to dress up, ocassionally, casually or just at the office. Visit and see their great gallery of women’s clothing at the best prices offered.
