Bitter Sweet

Okay, another chick flew out of the coop.  I'm the first to and that was almost 18 years ago.  I have been back to peck but didn't really stayed that long.This time, it's the youngest chick who has a chick.  And it breaks my heart to know he went with a bit of a heavy heart.  I suppose, it's a sacrifice that one has to make at some point in one's life.  On the other hand,...

I call this rustic

I grabbed this from facebook (if you are the owner and dont want this on my site, please send me a message and I will remove it). Isn't it ingenous?  I really like the idea of using a barrel for a sink.  I might copy this if we are going to build a country house. &nb...

Bahay Kubo

Tatay built a small shelter at the block of land that we bought recently.  While we are planning and saving for the ideal family home for the whole extended family, he had this built for shelter.  It's really for his benefit as everyday he is at this place for work.  Also, we are planning...

Christmas in July

err, it's now September, I know.  But my poinsettia just bloomed and it was supposedly in July when it was the height of winter.  I have this for 3 years now and it has been thriving on neglect.  I seldom feed them with fertiliser.  They get watered not so religiously but then it's...

Spring Cleaning

the shed, anyway.  Mcj has been spring cleaning the shed.  It's not really because he wants to.  Yes, has been in dire need of cleaning since we moved but you know, it's something that nobody really wants to do.  Today, it has been done or started as he needs room for more tools and stuff.  Funny that.  You would think that, he's cleaning so of course, it will be clean....

Happy Father's Day

so around dinner time, I was told to "distract Dad while I get his present".  I wasn't good at following instructions.  how can you distruct somebody sitting across you eating their dinner.  Anyway, it was a great Daddy and Bubby moment when he handed Mcj his advanced present.Happy father's...

Junk Mail

those that are dropped-off your yar or mailbox.We used to have a sign on our mailbox that says "No junkmail".  we intentionally put it there when we bought the house.  actually, it was more of Mcj's idea as he is so opposed with too much waste paper.  plus, it feeds my vice - shopping.anyway,...
