Let's just dive right in.. wink wink* The Living Room New Old House For new Homeowners like me most would be buying furniture and home accessory to achieve a modern and new look.  I choose to bring the "old feeling" with me.   The only thing new in this photo is the curtains and the fabric of the cushions of the accent chairs and ottoman.  Simple Mediterranean Modern Look I didn't know I like Mediterranean themed houses until I saw them on Google classified as such. All I know is that I want a home with history, personal touch and dominated with wood. The Coffee Table  This brass coffee table was owned by my late mom-in-law.  In one of our visits to San Pablo after she passed, I saw this tucked in one corner gathering dust looking so worn out and tired.  I asked Tip, my sister- in-law  if I can have it instead and she readily gave it to me. What a Joy! This table is just 2 years y...

My Aspin Gwangsy, always has a plastered smile on his face   whenever  I'd  come home.   Looking into his "smirky" face,   it's  as  if he's  saying,  "I knew  you'd come b ack  ha! ha!  I  was  right!"   It's  almost  as if he's too  proud of his wit  that he  thinks he's wiser  than  me. Well, at  least  that's what  his  smile  looked like. 6 months ago, one sunny morning,  Hubby told me almost in a hush that  Manong Cesar, the village handyman has  puppies inside a box. Curious, I checked out the puppies myself and fell in love in one of the two tiny brown blue-eyed puppies.  Pedigree Dog Food! Mang Cesar lives in a makeshift temporary home, his  only means of living was fixing whatever is broken in  households inside our small village. I asked Mang Cesar if I  can have the male...

How I got Started on WKG I was browsing on my Facebook one day and I came across a group Acid Reflux/Gerd Support Group. I instantly recalled what my ENT doctor mentioned that I may have Acid Reflux. Luckily for me It wasn't long before a "sharer" agreed to a meet up and gave me 2 spoonful of WKG for free. I started with a spoonful of WKG juice on the 1st day, 1/4 cup the 2nd day, half cup the next and 1 full cup on  the 4th day onward.  It's the 1st thing I take every morning,  a cupful of WKG 30 minutes before breakfast.  Few months back my ENT doctor suspected I had Acid reflux after  I  complained of a sensation of a lump on my throat but can't feel any by touch. FYI I am 2 years post Total Thyroidectomy and all the mass on my thyroid including my thyroid has all been taken out. Unfortunately,  I wasn't able to follow up on my ENT doctor  because I had other more pressing medical issues at that time. To cu...

Fashion Jewelry are fun to wear. Take a look at these faux pearl fashion jewelry I made. You can actually look expensive without robbing the bank. My closet is dominated by white. Why? Because white can go with just any color. Sure black can do that too, but I don't want to be "dark". Plus, white is the cleanest color there is. It's clean and pristine and light and peaceful. It gives you the aura that you're actually a nice person. :)
