Mirror Thoughts

How to make a room look bigger than it really is? Use mirrors! That’s what the hubby and I plan to add to our living room to create an illusion of space. The last time we checked, a decorative mirror can cost anywhere from P5,000 to P10,000 (ouch, so pricey!), depending on the size and the design we want. We’ll see.

Speaking of mirrors, there’s a different mirror that the hubby seems to want to get for our car. Just the other day, I saw him sneakily browsing this site that had a vast chrome mirror covers selection. I’m betting he’s gonna tell me all about it very soon. Haha.

Grocery Shopping

It’s that time of the month again when I need to replenish the pantry supplies in our Bacoor home. I’m a little pressured because my mom suddenly decided to join us for the weekend along with my two younger sisters. She said she wants to see our new kitchen and spends some quality time with us. Fine. Haha.

Normally, our go-to place to shop for groceries is SM Bacoor. It’s just a 15-minute car ride from our place and the supermarket there is enormous and well-stocked. I liked it there as it looks clean and the cashiers at the counter are friendly. Oh, and those looking for barcode scanner online should take a second look at the bar code scanners used by these employees because they look sleek and high-tech. But I digress.

Our Green Room

The master’s bedroom in our Bacoor home is green-themed. We didn’t really plan for it. It just so happened that one thing led to another. Before we knew it, we already had a green-themed room. Haha.

Nevertheless, we love how our room looks now. Green is easy on the eyes. It’s also the color of the environment, of Mother Nature. I just love green, period. 🙂

Investing on Luxury Furniture

Our Bacoor home, despite its small size, is slowly turning into a lovely dwelling for a small family like we have at present. Home improvement projects really do wonders to a home. As I’ve mentioned in my past blogs, our back extension, which we had improved recently, now serves as our kitchen. It’s tiny, but it has all the basics a homemaker wannabe like me needs.

For our next home improvement project, we plan to focus on our living room. If we’d have enough resources this year, we want to invest on luxury furniture. Not something overly expensive, though. We just want something sturdy and beautiful that would last us for years. It’s gonna be worth the money, right? Like one of those Marge carson sofas I saw online the other day. I can imagine it to be perfect for our tiny living room. Yes, our home furnishings have to be small for them to fit in our tiny living space.

Chic-Boy on Molino Boulevard, Bacoor

Dinner tonight was sponsored by the hubby. We dined at the newly-opened Chic-Boy restaurant housed inside the 678 Commercial Center, a business complex located just a few blocks from where we live. We feasted on Cebu lechon manok and liempo. Food was good. And cheap, too.

Since they’ve just opened recently, we expected that the service would be quite awful. We weren’t disappointed. Our orders arrived late, but we liked the fact the crew were apologetic and friendly. They would gladly receive requests for water and rice (they serve unlimited rice there!) and try to deliver them as soon as they could.

Weekend Cook

I have always enjoyed cooking. Cooking for me is as therapeutic as shopping is for other girls. When I cook, I can be anyone I want to be. Armed with a ladle and a pan, I can make my foodie dreams come true and get my senses satisfied in the process.

I learned how to cook from my mom. I remember when I was little I would watch my mom whipping up great-tasting dishes at the humble kitchen of our provincial home. You see, I grew up in the province where people cook real meals made from the freshest and finest ingredients one could easily find in the town market or at a neighbor’s farm.
