Life’s Lessons

It took us more than two years to get a TV stand. For some reasons, Ace couldn’t make up his mind. He has this mental picture of a TV stand that he wanted for our entertainment set but when it’s time to shop for one, we always go home empty-handed. At one point he even considered getting a wall mount when he saw a number of wall and ceiling tv mounts in the furniture section of the malls we went to. But then, nothing happened. We still use whatever that we could use as a TV stand from the old center table to the old wooden cabinets, to the utility rack made of cork. Those doesn’t serve the purpose and I am tired of him changing from one furniture to another just so the TV will have a better “place”.

When we saw an inexpensive TV stand the other week, I told him to decide right away. It’s take it, or leave it. Without second thoughts, he agreed that we get it. So finally, our TV and other entertainment appliances has now a “permanent” place and hubby is so happy about it. Finally, the search is over.

After two years and a half, we finally got a TV rack! Not the rack that we really wanted but a cheapo yet decent one. This one is a result of being impulsive buyers. Yes, me and Ace…and not me alone.

Guess where we bought this TV rack? Not in the furniture store. Not in the furniture section in the mall….but in SM Supermarket! We did grocery shopping the other day and we saw this rack in discounted price. Without second thoughts, Ace agreed when I told him we’ll buy it.

It is not what we wanted to have for so long but it serves its purpose, which is the most important thing now…to have a RIGHT place for our TV and other entertainment appliances that we have. And the best thing is, Ace is so happy with the TV rack. 

For more than a year now, we are sleeping in a mattress on the floor because we don’t have a bed – literally. We kept on postponing the plan to get a decent bed because we have not decided whether to get a custom-made hardwood bed from a furniture maker in the province or get a ready-made bed from the furniture store. All the while we thought we still have enough time to think it over and save for it. But due to the turn of events, we are moving to our soon-to-be house only then we felt the NEED of a decent bed.

We need a bed! We want a bed! But I don’t know how to raise money for that because we are broke with all the expenses on repairs of the house. Then I thought, why not raise a fund? I tried posting it on FB and one online friend immediately responded. Then I received an amount from another online friend. Weee!!!! I really can’t believe online friends could be that generous. I am really glad to have known them and be friends with them.

I and Ace are so grateful to the generous souls who sent an amount for the BED fund in my Paypal account. We really appreciate it! For now I will keep the money until the sum amount could buy us a decent bed. For donations, please send to my paypal account.LOL

To Mommy Arlene and Suzanne, thank you so much! May HE bless you more!
