I've seen this gorgeous indoor Wall Water Fountains at an exposition and can't help but getting attracted to it. This elegant pieces truly adds a relaxing ambiance to any home for sure. Moreover, it will reckon up with the right amount of humidity to a room as well. Therefore, the lack of moisture caused from heating and cooling won't be so much bothersome. I wish i can afford to have one. Nonetheless we had other important things to attend to right now, so sad to say but wall fountain can wait.

While browsing at this elegant bathroom vanity, the first thing that came into mind was our vacation home in the tropics. I felt sad because i just learned that our house was getting affected with the recent typhoon that hit the country. I've talked with my siblings back home and we are planning of having it repaired the soonest possible. Many says, living in the coastal areas has it’s convenience and inconvenience and it is absolutely true!

We've been on a trip to Alsace region yesterday to visit a family friend. Hubby and I were both glad because we also got the chance to see his godchild and her cute kids. The two girls: ages 3 and 5 yrs old were both adorable and fun to be with. My daughter taught them how to play  puzzles but i guess they enjoyed much playing hide and seek instead! I would have wanted to stay a little bit longer with them. Nonetheless, it was necessary for us to return home due to the not-so-good weather condition.

digital piano

noreply@blogger.com (Amy) — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 13:18:00 +0000

When i saw this Schoenhut Keyboards online, i can’t help but admire. The music instrument reminds me of my daughter because when she was a kid she loves to play piano too. Unfortunately now that she’s grown up and getting busy with her college studies she could no longer find some time to train herself. So, we ended up selling the digital instrument and bought something else that is more useful and functional.

My girl is getting fascinated with Nintendo games since she was a child. In fact she’s an avid fan of Nintendo 3Ds. Don’t get me wrong, she’s not into playing violent video games as you can imagine. Unlike her friends who loves Battlefield online games immensely. I don’t know how true it is.. but a previous study found that too much exposure to violent video cause at least a temporary increase in aggression this is why parental guidance is highly recommended!

Sewing nursing scrubs may seem easy to make however when i tried to create one this afternoon I realized that it wasn’t as simple as that.

Today is the last day of massive sales here in our place. I told hubby i want to go out shopping for stuffs to fill in my balikbayan box for pinas. However he insisted not, due to a sudden drop down of temperature.

Weather has been very depressing nowadays! Truth to that, we had this nasty atmospheric conditions for about two weeks now and believe me, i couldn’t take it any longer. And to top it all, the weather forecast announced another day of heavy storm tomorrow w/strong winds of up to 140 kms/hr. I pity much those people living in frequently flooded areas. This afternoon on the news, a medical air evacuation was needed to help evacuate the elderly.
Now i understand why lots of people choose to spend the christmas holiday season in the tropical islands. Honestly, if i could have such choices, surely i will too!
