Nakakagulat ang bills ng meralco and MWSS! Naiyak ako sa gastos! Bwahaha!

I wonder as to where I would put these Indian Home Decor which I got as one of the house warming gifts last week.
Though they are cute and colorful, it is just not appropriate with the interiors of the house. My aunt got it from a store online that sells authentic home decors and accessories from around the world. She said these pillows even came real from India. I would probably just use it to the lounge area in the garden since we are planning to put up a gazebo in the future. For the meantime, we are waiting for the half-court basketball to be fixed before we start to work on putting the blue grass.

Yes, curtains are up and so are the other furnitures are also there complete and set-up. I actually didn’t accentuate with any window valances since I prefer just a sleek straight cut of the curtains with just the drapes towards the buttom. Now, I am wondering how would I manage to change it. It was the decorators who put it up. I think we need to invest in sturdy and very long portable ladder. For the meantime, I am enjoying browsing the nice fabrics and customed designs which I am looking at Priority Windows site. I am now planning on what curtain to put for christmas!

We have started furnishing the house. Well, we made orders of the furnitures which I have blogged already before and we are waiting for the delivery of those by 1st week of April. We also started purchasing the appliances needed so we are going nuts already with the tremendous expenses incurred. Of course, we do not want to settle for anything less.
Have you heard about the promo of Citibank card with tie-up with SM Appliance Center for their Summer Appliance madness? We went to Megatrade hall last weekend to avail of it. It’s a promo called: ”Buy in March, Pay in June” What a great deal! Aside from that, you can still purchase the appliances for 0% interest for 3, 6 or 12 months.
Husband and I decided to get all our airconditioning systems for the rooms through that promo. We also got a brand new microwave oven. Thanks to the husband for agreeing on what I like, although at first, he really finds the item that I want too pricey for a microwave. In the end, I still made the final decision. Love him for that.
We are also purchasing the 3-toner aircondition for the ground floor. We thought that we would buy it in time for our birthday in June but with that promo, we feel that it would just be the same so might as well get it. We are just waiting for the survey of the house so we would know if we are buying the right specifications.
The best part of it as well is the promo they have that we would have a chance to draw a prize from a box. And can you just imagine our luck? We won a new electrolux coffee-maker! Greatness! I was giddy-happy since its color is perfectly suited for our kitchen and I so love it since it’s 15cups!
So I think we are really ready for the coffee and dessert get together with our relatives in two weeks time in the new house, in time before the MIL leaves for the US.
Happy, happy, happy!

who are asking on what’s the best christmas gift I am talking about? Read on…
It is not a bag. It’s definitely better than a bag!
This is it…
Did you get it? It’s the lot next to the dreamhouse! We closed the deal yesterday with the owner. Contract signing completed. It is seldom that you will find a lot being sold right next to the lot you owned. So when we heard that it was finally for sale, literally, we were in panic on what to do. We are praying that no one would get to buy it first. But we still do not have funds at all for it. We shelved the idea because we are depleted already because of the house construction. But thank God for people He sends our way. MIL bought the house for us, a reward for us as she said. God bless her!
So now, I’m starting to read about gardening! lol!

We are really getting excited about the construction of the dream house and now even excited to check out items to furnish it. Even the in-laws based abroad are happy for us. In fact, they do understand our reason for not being able to visit them this holiday season. They were very supportive of our decision. They were offering to get us some nice pieces of decorations for the house. I’m also starting to buy some items online like new casseroles, new coffeemaker, new kitchen knives, new juicer and a very nice fruits and vegatables chopper. And with the black friday sale coming up, I’m sure I’ll go crazy again with all the items I have been watching to go on sale. Now my concern is to just get an international shipping quote to box all this items and be sent to me. My inlaws have been relying to International Movers whenever they need to send something for us because of their very competitive rates and reliable service. So I guess, will just use their service as well.

MC Home Depot Ortigas
Ok, I still consider this as a mall anyway (lol!). I went here with my mom to help her find some new planters. When we arrived, we were directed to shops where they sell landscaping and gardening materials. But my mom saw some particular decorative planters that my sister-in-law showed her online. She said she saw nice indoor planters, outdoor planters, garden planters, window box planters and was even hoping she could find those high end planters. She actually brought pictures of these planters when we went to MC Home Depot.
We were arguing already while we were on one of the shops because she can’t figure out what she wants. Actually, she can’t find the items she was looking for based on the pictures she brought but I was telling her to just choose among the selections. Now, there it goes and shows, where I also got that attitude of being indecisive especially in shopping. So I called up my sister-in-law and asked her as to where she got the pictures she showed my mom. My sister-in-law said she saw it from Planterixchange, which offers high quality residential and commercial planters. No wonder why the items my mom was rooting are nice pieces. This online store offers the widest selection of any kind of planters. From my mom’s selection, it even includes product descriptions of each and its prices. And since we can’t find anything that closely match to the ones she likes, we went home empty handed, with no single planter on hand. We weren’t able to buy any of what she wants. No decorative planter for our kitchen. No new indoor planter for our door. No new outdoor planter for the porch. No garden planter for the garden. No window box planter by the kitchen window. And no high end planter that she really wants. Would likely just order it online and ask a cousin to box it for us to send back home, because my mom is dead set in just getting those.
Gee, she’s also hardcore in shopping!

Never got the chance to go to Ikea in Singapore. Too bad. So I just fancied in drooling on these great products for the house which I found today.
I have never seen fireplaces like these before. But these are both beautiful I must say. These stainless steel fireplace accessories are availble from Blomus. They have great stainless steel products both for outdoor like the blomus stainless steel mailboxes and for indoor like the blomus stainless steel fireplace accessories like the pictures above.The stainless steel mailbox that they have is an ideal element for a modern design house like what we are planning to have. (Cross fingers) Hubby is reviewing again our excel files and we might push through in building the dreamhouse already this year! (pray, pray, pray!)
Blomus have a variety of products that are all available online. I have never seen as many stainless steel products as what they have. Anything you will need from the smallest details like hooks, signages, for decoration like tea light holders, lamps and even frames. They also have items for dining and cooking. Oh, and I love those stainless steel planters that they have. Everything can be browsed from their site and you can even use their search tab to look for anything you might need. Look at some of their wonderful products that I would like to have!

Don’t you just love these lovely mailboxes? They are very classy isn’t? I would love to have one of these residential mailboxes which I plan to get for our future home from Mailboxixchange.
The company is known in offering the widest selection of commercial mailboxes, decorative mailboxes and even those cluster mailboxes. What’s good about it is that you can order everything online. All their products are actually detailed in specifications in the internet providing the sizes and prices. They are known to be the best option for customized mailbox solution cause they also provide very good customer service to their clients and the lowest price guarantee. It is just so easy to place an order in their site and they ship the item to you right away after checking out. The item can be received usually in 1-7 days depending on the shipping company you preferred. And if you want rush delivery, they can even accommodate that. Now, that’s great service.
