It was a great weekend indeed.  Nothing compares to spending quality time with the whole family. We had too much lounging around actually. And staying at home was our best option since it was so hot already when you go outside. Atleast, we do not have much concern about it while inside the house because the 3-toner aircon and the basement dehumidifier were both on almost the whole day. So goodluck to our electric bill Nevertheless, it’s just good to relax for this weekend as we look forward to a very busy week ahead! 

Have a fabulous week ahead to everyone!

We have been thinking to convert the guest room to a den. The husband have been contemplating to make the guestroom a video room. He plans to buy a new Samsung HDTV to complete the setup plus the corresponding home theater system. In fact, we are also have been looking for nice couches since December.  Although, I am not quite sure if its a good idea to totally give up the guestroom, the husband prefers to have a den so he could watch his favorite movies during the weekends.

happening in the house tomorrow and on Saturday, I have asked the househelps to do general cleaning of the house. I even asked them to scrub all metal tiles in the dirty kitchen as well as clean all glass windows. I have asked them to polish the wood on all furnitures and vaccuum the fabrics as well. They would also scrub the garage tomorrow as that would be our back-up venue in case it rains in the evening. But I really hope it would be a good weather. Glad, the household helps are not complaining. They shouldn’t right?

I got an email from a friend today offering me some best buy hand dryers for the house.  She is getting it from a great supplier of hand dryers and washroom accessories.  I am tempted since the ones she emailed me are beautifully crafted and perfectly in white color.  Some are even less 100usd.  Best priced really.  I am also tempted to get a soap dish dispenser for just less than 25usd.  Hmm, makes me think.  It could be included in another balikbayan box of a friend coming on September.  I am thinking to put those for the powder room.

the garden area has been our regular activity every afternoon.  I have been tending to the garden for the past couple of weeks.  Still, I feel like there’s something lacking in there.  I want to buy more plants and add some orchids perhaps.  We are still growing the grass actually.  I am taking gardening as a new found hobby.  A new found activity aside from doing some running around the village every afternoon.  Well, these activities could add up to my plan to really lose weight, otherwise, I might compelled myself to take those diet pills already if I don’t lose weight soon.

And look how funny the kids were when Dicky was trying to water the grass…

that our phone line would be installed soon.  I badly need DSL connection.  I am using my very able Nokia E71 first as modem for my Amanda.  Good thing, I can still get good signal but there are times when it is erratic so it pisses me off.  But I am so loving my phone since I can really browse and check emails and even be in FB wherever I go.   Wish there are new cell towers to be installed in our area so I can get better connection.  This is the reason why I won’t have blog updates often.  And I really hope as well that cable would be installed soon!  For the meantime, a wireless landline would do!

Won’t you wish owning properties like the one above? Lovely! I can just lie around and be a queen in that house. It’s fully furnished with a covered pool.  There is nothing wrong in dreaming anyway. The above pictures were one of the Florida villa sales available from BardellRealEstate, which is a specialist for new and resale villas and vacation homes, retirement homes and residential property in Florida. Not to mention that this property is very near Orlando Disneyland. My kids would definitely love staying here.  Maybe we can stay here every summer, lol!  These are just my greatest dreams.  

I have been thinking to change the curtain of our room to something like Levolor blinds and shades since it will be low maintenance than keeping a curtain and changing everytime. But I realized that I should do the same thing for all our rooms’ windows. I’m sure my mom won’t approve. It’s her house anyway. I’d probably do it and suggest to Dicky for our dream house instead. I want to get from Blinds Central Online because I saw some blinds which are of good quality but are on discounted rate. They are the leading provider since 1986 of custom and vertical blinds. They do have variety of available colors, styles and choices that can be appropriate to any homes design and structure. They are known to be offering the lowest price in buying blinds online.  I would definitely remember to check them out next year.  

My friend was asking us to help them research about security cameras cause she plans to put one in her new house.  Since she knows that me and Dicky had a security/alarm business before, (yes we did!), she was seeking our opinion about Panasonic CCTV camera. We actually told her about IT Planet who is the leading supplier of security systems including cameras, barcode scanners and even those touchscreens for POS. I know the company even offers free shipping so I told her to grabe the opportunity in buying online. The CCTV camera that she is preferring is actually one of the top-of-the line available in the market today.
