a yellow Ranunculus Asiaticus


Do you remember our high school science subject flora and fauna? Heheheh.. yep, it is where I got my title aside from my paternal grandmother name is "Flora". Alright, flora is botany term of flower whereas fauna is an animal term. I was anxious to have a live flower near my laptop when setting on my computer station table. I wonder if you know why beside the reason of beautification. It is to protect my eyes against the computer radiation {though findings said there is no harmful effect of computer radiation unlike x-ray or ultra-violet rays} - I just like it. The third reason is I have something to see if ever I want to look for something have a life whenever my husband is not around. (~_~) Yep, I have it and the image above I took after valentines day this year. I like this plant because it has a lot of buds that are about to bloom --- more than six. But sad to say that it is dying nowadays. I will put up the current image I have on the next. I am sad. :-(

As I seen my grandparents and my father building their own house, I could say it is not easy. It requires hard work or if not a money to put it up if you are not a carpenter and wants other professional to build it for you. The materials prices are increasing as well as human labor too. It is also imaginable that if you do not have enough bucks for the construction and such, the time length is longer as ever you could imagine especially if it is built through metal buildings construction materials but I could say the construction will be worth it because of its sturdiness and the lasting preference. I (with my DH) hope to have a house one day but I do not know if it is made of metal ones because of its cost. I just wish to have. (~_~)

Do you have door bell in your home? How important is it to you? We have our door bell in our apartment rented and perhaps all of the apartments and houses here have unless if it is broken or need a repair. For me, door bell is important especially if you have a big house and the door is far from the center of the house to which peeps stay and could hear the knock of the visitor. Also, if you are busy with something and even little sound you cannot hear because you are concentrating seriously on the work you do. Because of the big buzzing sound of the doorbell button peeps in the house could recognize it and he/she knows that someone is in the door perhaps a visitor or just someone that you have a business with. Whether you have a big or only small family, doorbell is important in the house.

Insurances! What a better way to have something when home owners are in a way of nothing? Home insurance... is it important? Is it only add to the bills and expenses? What are its benefits? Is it only cheap to have it? Is home insurance quote help home owners to compare prices? Is it reliable and bring more advantages?

I could say, it's important to have home insurance especially when you're home location is prone to flood, hurricane, storm, fire, and calamities like that and those. But since sometimes calamities can't be predicted, that's then the disaster come into. Home insurance is important when you think of security, that is when something happen on your home you can have some claims. Just being practical and thinking on the future. Home insurance is the partner of the house as you bought and live with . It's important and need for the house, apparently for the owner. Though it adds to the bills and expenses but it's all worth it because you don't need to worry every now and then when circumstances that can't be controlled came. It's some sort of security on home owner's part. so far, that bring advantages unless if you don't have enough to pay for it.

For some, a house is not a home. Even if how many people live in the house, a family or some, how many kids you have.. yet, the house couldn't be called a home (for some). Why? This is a deep thought actually, it's a matter of emotion and the importance why it is called a home. Basically, when a house don't have people living, that is a house but when there are people (or perhaps only one person) living and comfortable with it, then it is called a home. Now, there's this question even if the house with people with it still can't be called a home, that is because each other aren't comfortable living in such. They always argue each other, stuffs like these and that.. But whatever it is, I do believe that if a house has refrigerator water, that would definitely need a constant change of refrigerator water filter. Okay, I could say every family has its own struggles on its family journey. Arguments are always there but see to it that it won't last long, so the house would definitely be called a home. Oops, are you confuse? Don't be, okay? A house could be a home and could also be not but a house is a house and a home is home. :-)

Happy weekend everyone! Enjoy at your home... :-)

Every woman is fond of house stuffs. As the saying somewhat goes like this "a woman is a light of the home", would you believe that? A wife is responsible for beautifying and keeping the house clean and orderly. Well, one of a house stuff that woman like me adores in the house is the chandlier.
Murray Feiss chandliers are pretty awesome though some are pretty expensive but of course the quality is great.
What do you think of the image above, is it cool or what? As for me, it is very nice and it stands out in the crowd of similar style. I don't know but as I saw this one, makes me like to have one. Ahh.. do you like to own like that folks?

My fiber optic Christmas tree w/ stuffs and lights at night


Christmas day is fast approaching and it's only eleven days to go! Are you excited? Hmmmm... How could you then feel that Christmas is on the way? Can you feel its countdown?

For me, I could feel it through Christmas tree, lights, decorations and songs over th
e radio, on TV, especially in the house and in the neighborhood. I don't know but that's how I basically feel it. Two days ago I told my DH that I couldn't really feel that Christmas is in the air because we don't have decorations in our house yet. Though I already have the stuffs from last year but I didn't felt like doing it. My first time here in America, I felt excited and felt like I did the decorations at the onset of "ber" month and DH laugh at me because he said the tradition is after Thanksgiving Day. Then the next year, I just followed what's the tradition, I did the decoration after TD. Then this year is opposite. But I made up my mind to shop (though hubby was hard to convinced because of the rain) and decorated it afterward (that was two days ago), and did. I can now feel the spirit of the coming holiday. I am like a child, chasing the Christmas tree and the lights always, I feel happy doing it. :-) By the way, I use big and tiny lights (both changing colors and steady), put some lights, and garlands (colorful, single color {white, yellow, and lavender) on the decorations and tree aside from the basic light of the fiber optic (I think that's why the light stands out). By the way, you can click the images to enlarge. :-)


inside (morning) and my very own made wreath in the outside door {wreath looks pale in pic :-( }





outside our home rainy morning {look at the sprinkled raindrops on the glass} and night pic below




Advance Merry Christmas everyone!

Most business establishments have exit signs. Probably you know the importance on it. What will you do if there's an emergency, nobody to call to, it's just you yourself to figure-out where you will have to go. If there's no such sign, isn't that adds to the problem? For me, absolutely yes, that's why it's such an important stuff not only for business establishments but also for buildings, houses, libraries, schools, and some other public areas that need such especially in times of need. Mostly they tend to have the exit sign with an emergency light so if ever there's some circumstances, it's just easy to go on steps going outside through exit and save yourself or lives.

Or should I say I wish to have too. Okay, in my journey upon watching some living rooms lately, I came to see the bedroom(image above) which is an eye-catching ambiance. "That's a cozy one!", I uttered lately. He he heh! Spacious and so comfy even if just looking at the image, isn't it? Look at that wood tiles and the structures on the ceiling! That's an awesome structural design. It makes me wish to have one.. :-) Well, who wouldn't? With all the stuffs and the look, I can feel the comfort of it.

Yep, as for me area rugs really adds a touch of luxury to the rooms in the house or even at any area you like to put some. Bath room, living room, kitchen, doors, and the likes are some of the areas that rugs are beyond beauty if it's there. Well, area rugs comes in different sizes and shapes, so, you have the choice of how do you like to put it. Women like to put some stuffs that beautifies the house and am one of those women.. (~_~). What about you, do you or your wife love to put some rugs in your home just like above?

Isn't it that very nice to wash dishes and cooking wares if your kitchen has copper sinks? (~_~) Ooh well, everyone wants to have it nowadays especially if you like your house to be a classic-modern look. As I've heard from my friends that aside from copper sinks are durable, it is also a bacteria-worry-free. Bacteria and other germs can only live on copper for only hours unlike normal kitchen sinks that stays how many days. There's something in copper that bacteria dislike. What is good is that copper kitchen sinks have now variety of designs and finishes. Thus, it will likely fit to your lovely kitchen. And aside from it beautifies your kitchen, it will last long for how many years. It's a good investment for a home, isn't it?

How do you like to watch soap operas, news, and etc on your television? Are you comfortable with it's stand? Are you currently planning or perhaps looking for tv stands? For me, I really like to see those televisions hang at the wall. One time I thought if it's just easy for it to fell down since it's just in the wall. And later I figure out that those were engineered and designed beautifully before it passed on to the consumers and if there's some mechanical problems, it will then be changed directly and it's the least possible cause. Anyway, am comfortable for what we have in our house now but if ever hubby would like to get new tv stands for our bedroom, below and above are my choices to have or either one of the chief or sanus tv stand name. I guess women and men do like stands like these, do you? (~_~) Have a pleasant day folks! Enjoy!

I have been given free product to review from Vantzen Products, Inc. I am paid of a modest amount of money but of course of an honest review. The product arrived yesterday. And the image above is the product that I took after it arrived. You can click the image to enlarge.

I haven't heard of BugZip products before. I only knew that there's a pouch for girly stuff that similar to BugZip products which I like very much. According to the company, BugZip is a bed bug encasement especially designed for advanced resistance to bed bugs.

Me and hubby didn't travel that much nowadays but I would like to use this if we do(one day) thinking that it is good for the health. Neither me nor my husband don't want to be beaten by bed bugs. Bed bugs are just too difficult to handle because it is invisible in our naked eyes.
BugZip is made up of vinyl which is too slippery for bed bugs to climb up, so it is a great deterrent. It is better to be aware and do the prevention before we will be having a bed bug.

Upon seeing the products arrive at our home, I could say it is good. I like it since it was what I expected and arrived in proper time.
It came of four different sizes: Medium, Large, Garment, and Drawer perspective all in one pack.Below are images of how Bugzip is use:



for more of these images, visit http://www.flickr.com/photos/bugzip/

Since I wasn't able to travel yet, what I did is that
put on my purses and shoes. I also put my laptop case which I only use when needed. Below are the pics of what I did at home to keep away from dust directed to my belongings and of course for bug prevention. Thanks God that we don't have bed bug in the house(since we didn't experience itchiness) so what I did with the product is this:


my purses/bags



my laptop case, and shoes/sandals

-- and am happy of the outcome and thankful of the person who invent this product as well as the company. Have a pleasant day folks! Remember to keep-away from bed bugs!

Some website offers great quality stainless steel undermount sink for your sink need. For us home makers, house wife, and moms out there you may need to check out this site if you're looking for such sink need. It is really important to have this one always because it will ruin the dishwashing and all of the washing activity over the sink corner, isn't it fellas? So you might think not to run out of it, right? And this is especially to those newly couple out there knowing that this is a June month, so lots of sweethearts out there choose to be wed this month. By the way, before am out-of-topic, I will have to say that when sweethearts will be couple, of course couple has to switch on their own house, so be sure to check out undermount sink for your kitchen need. Have fun!
