Pink and Orange Girls Room

Today is the birthday of my daughter and I asked her what gift she wants to receive this time. As she is a preschooler - yes, just turned 5 years old today - she would always say Barbie. But I was surprised that for her cake, she chose a different character - Lalaloopsy this time. And for the gift, she wants to have her own room - a girls room in Pink and Orange combination.

As I searched in Google, I found really nice pink and orange bedroom that I've gone crazy collecting memories of the things we have in these two fabulous colors.

The size of the bed is just perfect as we only have one daughter. We already have single bed but its currently in light brown color. I could wrap it with an orange vinyl sticker in matt finish and will buy a pink bedsheet to match it with. The butterfly here is personalize wall decals made from vinyl sticker already. Perhaps I could order from www.stickerworld.net. The shelves and cabinets could be refurbished also with vinyl stickers. 

The partition in the house is small thus this formation is just perfect. Pink and Orange room is so vibrant and colorful that is just so perfect for her personality.

A light and pastel shades of pink and orange is also nice and sweet. The roundish wall decals are again perfect. Its so easy to decorate a room by just installing wall decorations.

With a yellow paint, the room transforms into a lively yet girly paradise! This is nice for a tweeners but not really for my preschooler. 

Do you have other idea for a pink and orange bedroom for girls?

Clear the House from Unnecessary Junks

Does your home look like a junkshop? Or a little smaller because of the clutter and junk items that needs disposing? I can totally feel you! Because our house looks like that! I have to clean them all, give them away or just throw them on the bin - but one thing for sure - we need a total makeover!

Perhaps, as early as now, I should already make a New Years Resolution and the number one on the list should be - Clear the House from Unnecessary Junks! Feel me?

I cant make this to happen this Christmas vacation as we will be traveling to my in-laws in the province. After a year of working hard, I also deserve sometime to rest, go to the beach, eat lotsa food, enjoy massage at home and just be lazy. 

Our house cleanup will be the priority next year. Good luck to me!

Wood Terrace

I saw this photo at www.freedigitalphotos.net and was lucky to be able to download this. I was looking for a good wooden terrace as a friend of mine asked for a suggestion whether a wooden terrace is better than made of stone. I find it more suitable to use a wooden especially if we are in a tropical country. What do you think?

Healthy Food At Home

The Philippines is once again hit by a massive typhoon. A lot of areas are already flooded, no more electricity supply, communication lines are cut, a lot are stranded in the ports, and thousands are already in evacuation centers.

We appeal to you Lord, please watch over us! Please spare the Philippines! Our area in Cavite is still okay but gloomy. Pagasa predicted that the effect of Yolanda will be tonight at around 8:00 PM.  

On this gloomy day in Cavite, here is our healthy lunch, malunggay with fish and rice.

Be safe everyone.!

Planting New Plants

Its a short vacation for the kids now and we have ample time to spend together, sometimes pester each other.. lol.. Anyway, we have been planning of planting new plants outside the house. We cut some before because our backyard was flooded during typhoon.

Hopefully the weather tomorrow will be nice so we can plant more in the backyard, if we have ample time, also in the front yard, but there is much to be done there.

Home Security

In this past face world, security is a common problem for both business and our homes. Who will notice if someone trespasses our properties while we are out or while travelling? What if these people take some of our valuable properties which we collected over a period of time? What if our families are inside these places? What if?

So many cases are reported daily but are we doing something to prevent such events? Or we just hope it will not happen to us? In times like this, it is a must to ensure our home with adequate measures:

1. If you are going out, make sure to always lock the doors and windows.

2. It is already a must to install a CCTV cameras.

3. Make sure these cameras are of good quality so you will really get the faces of these offenders. 

4. It would be better if you have an alarm system installed.

5. Dont leave the keys to places which are common already. 

6. Its best to let your closest neighbors that you are leaving so they can watch over your house.
