Life’s Lessons

Since Kadayawan is over and I am on rest mode from OHJ, lots of things are in my to do list. As usual, the laundry is on number 1 slot since I haven’t done it last weekend. I have to do it today or else, I will be fired by my boss because he’ll have no uniform to wear tomorrow. Another thing is to sort out the ”to keep” and “to go clothes”. I have given away almost 2 boxes last May and will be giving away another batch because it won’t fit our available closet space. 90% of the space is being used to store old things such as the old computer units, my BIL’s old clothes, shoe boxes, etc. I don’t know where to store those so I stocked them all in the closet. To sum it up, our room seems like a stockroom.

Another wardrobe cabinet is not a good idea because our room space is just enough for what we have now. I and Ace have lots of clothes that we aren’t wearing and I’d better give it away so somebody could benefit from it. Continue Reading »

Ace was torn between getting our own place or a car. WHAT? Naturally, MEN loves cars. I don’t know what came to his mind that he is now thinking of his dream car. Whichever comes first.:-) For me, I wanted to have a place of our own regardless how it looks like as long as we call it our OWN. I have mentioned it to him a couple times and I hope he understands what I feel about it. I don’t know how he’s going to address that concern and I hope we can take the first steps SOON. As I can see it, he’s been torn between a car or a house. But sometimes he’s talking about a housing loan though. 

The other Sunday (when we had our sunrise shoot at a friend’s place), he asked the hubby (Richard) what would he choose, a car or a house. He was instantly answered “a house of course”. Guess I am in the same boat with Richard. He wanted to have their own house first no matter what type of structure it is as long as he and Cora can confortably live. The couple acquired a lot already and they only need to have the house constructed after Cora will give birth. In our case, Ace was telling me he has a lot (given or to be given?) by PILs. If we are to build a house there, we need to get a house construction loan from PagIbig but I think it will take us 50 years to get a loan since the lot is untitled yet and lot title is the most important requirement in getting a house construction loan. However, if we opt in getting a house and lot in a subdivision, it is much easier I guess and this time we can use the free mortgage quotes from the company’s sales agents for us to choose which package will work best for us. Now I am crossing my fingers…I hope we could get a place of our own months from now temporarily or permanently.

Sometimes I can’t take a restful nap because the sun is shining directly towards our room. I put on a sheer darker curtains but it’s just the same. Last week, I found a curtain with thicker cloth and had them washed yesterday so that I could put it on while we haven’t got blinds yet. I was looking for some blinds last Sunday at Ace hardware but we end up getting a storage box for some of our cloths…hahaha. Such impulsive buyers! We’ve been planning to get a storage box beforehand but I was not expecting we will get it that day. So, the blinds wasn’t given priority again. Anyway, will just try first the curtains I am talking to and if it doesn’t work, we will finally settle for the blinds. I just hope blinds will be on sale next payday. If not, we can have discount Levolor blinds from BlindCentralOnline.com. The company has a numerous selection of blinds be it vertical, horizontal or mini blinds made of different materials such as aluminum or wood. Hence, I would not be limited to the PVC blinds I found in the department store. I came to that site and was amazed at the different collection of blinds, sliding panels, pleated shades just to name a few. Since I want a more natural look, this wooden blinds looks good for our room.

 Still, I’m planning to move the pc to our room since I’d be left alone here in the house starting next week. With what I’ve said in my previous post, if I will relocate the pc to our room, I need major arrangement. Not that a tedious work though as I have put back our clothes in the closet that have been pulled out because the boards that have been used are infested with termite. Seems the owner of this house didn’t bother to treat the woods they used in making the built-in closets. I haven’t seen any though but the damage is very obvious. Thanks to the linolium that I have placed as a protective sheet to prevent the termites from getting into our clothes. So we were able to use the closet again. Anyway, I have done some research on getting rid of termites and have found some picture of a termite of different varieties. I just learned that termites have different varieties too.

Sometimes, I felt like something has bitten me and I always blame it on a mosquito. Between me and hubby, I am more prone to mosquito bites. Seems my blood is sweeter than hubby’s that’s why they always feast on me. Anyway, the bite I am telling you is not caused by a mosquito…I believe it’s something else. Haven’t heard of this bedbugs until I have found a site with lotsa information about it. There’s really bedbugs existing on earth! Oh, that must be the parasite biting on me. It’s alarming me as they can also be in the closets such that they are called bedbugs clothing. BTW, haven’t noticed any traces of it in our clothes and mattress. They must be thriving somewhere else. Guess they are in the desk near our bed. Hmmp, gonna check it out tomorrow ‘coz Ace is already taking a rest. Whether or not I can find bedbugs in our room, will be changing linens (oh, another pile of laundry as I have changed only last weekend) ASAP and bring out our pillows and mattress for an exposure under the heat of the sun (sun bathing.LOL).
