My House in the South

I'm thinking of new things to add to our home in the south. If all things push through my brother would have the house complete and get it done before the year ends. That is just an ambitious estimate so I'm going to give myself around the first quarter of this year to get that fixed. After that we would need to get some key pieces bought but I have a special need for western furniture. I like how natural looking wood gets inserted in a theme I was thinking for the space. I am not a professional interior designer or architect but I have aesthetics in the mix somewhere. I want to show you guys a few of my favorites... it coincides with the theme I have in mind!

I want this piece outside my picket fence inspired porch. It is somewhat a rustic/country feel obviously that I want to happen. I love how natural it looks like and the wood used is finished greatly. I don't want a metal one because that would probably end up more industrial or futuristic. I want to get lots of pillows and a larger throw on top of that. Maybe a little orange or terracotta which hints more of a Hispanic/Mexican feel. I can probably add a few dried chilis and hang them around as garlands or art deco. I think I'm inspired! I want this to be a place of refuge in the late afternoon so I could get lemonade or something similar for refreshments. I need a place to put that though. Ah! I need a side table!

If I place this quite near that and make sure it doesn't block the smooth swing it induces this would be perfect! The woodsy look is actually continued and this one has that perfect height. I also need to think about what I'll have in the interior and make sure that it is also comfortable.

I won't stop myself from purchasing an LCD TV and would like to see if this set would actually fit. The lounge chair would be a necessity for me and my Dad. I want to still have a comfortable place to watch movies if I'm not in the mood to roam around the heavily forested area which this will all be located. I don't have to worry about cleaning too because Mom is going to get covers for them all if we're not around. Nice choices huh?!

How about you?! Have you considered getting these types of furniture?! Or would you buy something else? Tell me about it alright?!

I wonder where the Road User taxes went. I heard they went into 5 ghost projects and a couple to the bonuses of people in the transportation offices. It is clearly not allowed. Whoever did this must have his head roll.

People are thinking to dredge the Pasig river and around 6 more rivers elsewhere in the country. Apparently it has become so shallow it has cause the water to recede back in Marikina when the last Typhoon Ondoy struck. There must be something they could do to prevent that. I heard even Eastwood is encroaching the river. Get MMDA to tear it down like the squatters!

There's a Housing fair in Megamall this weekend. I wonder if there are condominium units available. Pagibig is also doing its job lending money to those who need a loan in that event. I don't even know if that is feasible. I think I'll drop by just to make sure.

I'm having troubles getting a hotel reservation. I have to get 2 rooms for 6 people. I might pay a hefty amount of like 5-10 thousand pesos per night but it's hell of a lot easier right? Wrong, I don't even have an idea what to get. ohhhh myyyyy!

I hope someone helps me out there... (T_T)

I'm still not drinking beer. It has been over a month and a half til I tasted em. That goes for cigarettes too. I must be getting a little crazy. I'm seeing things already. I am being tempted to drink Ice cold beer and smoke a couple of sticks since I see them in people. You might think I'm a lunatic. Oh yeah, I think I am.

I watched Glee this afternoon. I didn't get to watch the morning premier. It was great though because Charice did not look cheap in the show. For most of it, she looked very good and even out singing the lead actress there. I applaud them both because the lead was classically clear and trained while Charice was raw and bold. If I were to see who did a greater job, they have their own strengths. I might be a little biased but I like Charice's version of Listen and I think it is going to get number one downloads spot in Itunes. I don't have itunes credit so I'm downloading that off torrent like the rest of you guys LOL. I'm equally proud of her though!

It's Lunar New Year here I guess. There are a lot of mooncakes around again. I don't like it though. I haven't seen those good ones with salted eggs on them. That just made my mouth water. I hate it when I spoil my diet. Diet!? who me?! You must be joking! LOL

A lot of my blogger friends are asking for photos with greetings on em. I'm not that photogenic. I'm going to make videos I guess. I'll check if I can squeeze one this weekend. Effort eh?! Hahahah... Anyway I said I'll try right? That's better than nothing.

It's the anniversary of the Ondoy Typhoon which flooded most of the metro. The rains here are like Cow's and Buffalo's instead of cat's and dogs.. Sheesh... It's like the second coming of that same typhoon. Good thing the rains stop in the evening. I wonder if there are still problems in the water situation. Angat Dam should be full now right?! No one's telling people in the news yet. I hope we don't experience that scarcity like we did last year. I'm getting thirsty.

No beer + No smokes makes me a dull boy! But women ooooohhhh we can talk about that LOL!

Save the Date!

My friends are getting married. April and Louie had been an integral part of my friends from the NOCTURNALS photography group. What amazes me is that I sort of got the chance to see how their relationship blossomed into what it is today. I always thought they were perfect for each other; and I know nothing but the nicest things about these two. I'm not surprised they ended up with each other to tell you the least. Louie the playful, cute guy that he is (I didn't get paid to say that!); geeky looking yet smart is very easy to talk and be with. April who never fails to smile and kid around with everyone (even at the lowest times) always lights up the room when she's around. These are traits that made them stick together and I'm sure it'll last. They have been doing a lot of photos lately in preparation for their save the date postcard and I know there will be lots of them available on the Internet. It would be easier to make once all the details are finalized. They however already have the dates set for next year. We're all excited for them!

Love is such a pretty sight to see. It makes me wish I had a story of my own to tell. I won't be blaming anyone for my own fate this time. I'm really glad to have got to know these two. They kind of give you hope and that nostalgia you experience when someone loves you. It makes you optimistic; to see life in a different way. I wish Louie and April the best that life can offer. After all, they deserve each other. I'm so happy for them... and so are my peers from photography. You'll be really good parents too I'm sure!

Wish you all the best! Nothing more!
