House of Dreams - Living In My Childhood Dream Home

I grew up living a simple life. There were times I felt extremely lucky (thanks to my grandfather who is rich enough to help out my parents financially) and there were times I felt extremely hungry and sad (coz my dad didn't really have any stable job and my mom is working for the government until now). All I wanted was to finish my studies (thank God to my scholarships) so I can live the life I've always wanted, which means, have a place I can call my own, decorate it any way I want to, and be able to do what I want (like walk naked if I want to... which I used to do a lot of times even as a young kid inside my own room. Teehee. I remember one summer, I was 15, my cousins and I took a photo of ourselves naked. My dad was the one who developed the film and he went ballistic on us! Teehee. ^_^ Those were priceless times!).

Anyhoo, I've always wanted to live in a nice, cozy house with glass doors, and surrounded by beautiful things... my beautiful things. I'm fortunate enough to say that I've been living my childhood dream for a few years now. Thanks to Popsy, to Peter, and to God's infinite blessings! And recently, my hubby and I had some parts of my childhood dream home renovated --- I had the front yard fenced to stop the kids from turning it into their afternoon playground, I had the plants taken out since I don't know how to take care of them anyway, I had my bathroom tiles changed coz they were breaking away due to the extreme heat, and all those extra white rocks that were left, I decorated the balcony with. Now I realize that all the things I could ever need are just here at home. So don't blame me if I'm always lazy to leave the house (except when we go on out of town trips). Hihihi.

Cebu - Beautiful House @ Good Shepherd Banawa



It’s been a while since we last visited Cebu. The last time that both Peter and I went tripping there was year 2005 as part of our Vis-Min Trip. Oh no wait, we did go there again year 2006 with Popsy to celebrate my 28th birthday. Then last January of this year, I went there by myself to visit my sister, Tita Anne and Tito Ped. And today, at 12:10pm, Peter and I will fly Cebu Pacific to visit them again. Since I’m in a hurry to post this, let me just share with you some photos I took of Tito Ped’s house. It has undergone a lot of renovations through the years and litle by little, it is becoming a sanctuary of some sort. Actually, it’s more like a mini mountain resort for me. This is where I get some of my inspiration for creating such a lovely home of our own as well. I heard  that today, it looks even more picturesque and feels more at home. Well, we’re about to find out as we visit them again. For now, here are some photos of their house for your pleasure.

Home Decorations: Sneak Peek

This month, it's been a year since we transfered from Quezon City to Alabang. How quickly time flew by! And since then, we have done a few things to make the house more welcoming and relaxing...just the way we like it... a cute little townhouse that can be mistaken for a beach condo. Beach na lang ang kulang. Teehee. The initial redecorations / renovations are here including the before pictures. And here are the rest ...
