Condo Lighting Fixtures

Since medyo nagmamadali kami na maupahan ang condo namin and budget-wise na rin, hindi na muna kami nagpalagay ng drop ceiling. And para naman maging matino ang itsura ng ceiling ng condo namin, since bukilya lang ang existing na light, hubby and I decided to replace it with drop lights.

Kaya ayun, canvas canvas muna kami inside SM and Wilcon. Then we tried to check A&S Lamps along El Grande St. in BF Homes Paranaque. Tamang tama rin dahil they were on sale. Then we chose this drop light...

Ang nice ano? Simple lang pero may dating. Mura lang yan. From more than P3k, natawaran ko hanggang P2,500.00. Ok na yung price di ba? Sa SM kasi, yung ininquire ko na super simple na light tapos maliit lang, almost P2k na eh. We bought two sets of this drop light, one for the bed area and one for the dining area.

Then for our condo hallway, I bought this circular light...

I had the color changed to black para pare-pareho na black yung mga lights and para may contrast sa ceiling. Sale din siya and nakuha ko lang ng P400.00.

Napa-install ko na siya sa condo nung Monday. Hindi ko na nakunan ng picture dahil nakakahiya sa tenant. Hehe.

A Little Kuwento & Quick Divisoria Shopping

Good mawnin' guys! Long time no hear from me ano? Well, medyo busy busihan na naman ang lola niyo ngayon eh.

Last Monday, I went to Makati for my prenatal checkup, twins' vaccination, washing machine delivery to our condo and lighting fixtures installation of our condo. Yes, ganyan ako kapag pumunta ng Makati. Sinisiguradong sulit na sulit ang pagpunta. As always, late na kami nakauwi sa house since past 7pm na natapos ang pag-install ng lights.

Last Tuesday naman, I went with Mama G to Divisoria. Nabanggit ko kasi hindi ako nakapamili ng preggy clothes nung sale sa Southmall eh. Sabi niya sa Divi na lang daw ako mamili since pupunta naman daw siya. So ayun, gora kami doon ni Mama G. Pagod much na ako pagkauwi kaya hindi na rin ako nakapag-blog.

Yesterday naman, busy naman ako sa pag-update at pagreconcile ng records ni Doc at sa pag-research ng ruling regarding unused old original receipts kung talagang may penalty. Naku mapepenalty na naman daw kasi si Doc Padu eh dahil hindi niya na-surrender within 10 days yung lumang receipts pagkareceive ng bago. Haaayyy, BIR nga naman... Aside from that, ginagawa ko na rin yung 2551M ni Doc. Kailangan na kasi masubmit namin yun before the 14th. Alam niyo naman, gagala na naman kami. Hehehe.

Back to our Divisoria shopping...

When we went to Divisoria, we parked at Lucky Chinatown. Laking tulong ng mall na iyon dahil hindi na kami nahihirapan magpark sa Divi and very accessible sa 999, 168, Ilaya St., Tabora St. and Juan Luna St.. Dati kasi sa Cluster mall pa kami nagpapark eh o kaya yung maliit na mall na malapit sa Juan Luna St.

So kamusta naman ang Divi sa panahon ngayon? Since maaga kami nakarating, wala pang masyadong tao. Pero nung bandang tanghali, konti pa rin eh. Mukhang maganda lang ang tiyempo ng punta namin since it's a Tuesday and hindi pa Christmas rush. Pero in one part ng Divi medyo naipit ako sa traffic ng tao. Alam niyo ba kung bakit? Eh paano ba naman nandun pala si Kris Aquino at Kim Chiu. Nagkagulo ang mga tao sa kakaabang sa kanila pati nga yung ibang tindera iniwan yung mga paninda nila makakita lang ng artista.

Anyway, ang pakay ko talaga sa Divi is to look for affordable and stylish preggy clothes. Wala na kasi akong damit na malaki laki. Remember, pinamigay ko nung pumapayat na ako? Tapos need ko pa talaga dahil we will go out of the country nga this month. Aside from the preggy clothes, need ko rin magbuy ng new scrub suits for Je Ann. Tapos, bago pa ako umalis, nagbilin pa ang maid of honor ko na bilhan ko raw siya ng pambahay shorts, SD (salary deduction) na lang daw. Hehe.

Well, here are my Divi finds that day:

For the Kulilits, I bought them these wooden puzzles...

P50.00 each

I bought them also PJs...

P140.00 per set

Mama G and I bought them additional briefs...

Regular Brief - P180.00 per pack of 6; Bikini Brief - P20.00 each

For Je Ann, I bought her 2 scrub suits and a pair of shoes...

Scrub Suit - P300.00 per set; Shoes - P100.00

Since Je Ann will be celebrating her 18th birthday this September and I promised her that I'll give her panties and towels as a gift, I bought her these...

Towel - P100.00 each; Panties - P300.00 for a box of 12

And sa pabili ni Je Ann, I bought her 3 shorts and 4 blouses. Lahat niyan P350.00 lang...

Shorts - P50.00 each; Blouse - P50.00 each

 And for me, I bought the following blouses...

 

P230.00

P230.00

P230.00

P250.00

Four lang ang binili ko, sayang naman kasi dahil ilang months na lang naman at manganganak na ako. Lam niyo ba, from P280.00 lahat yan tapos tinawaran ko na lang. Para ngang ang laki laki ng kasalanan ko sa mga tindera eh dahil panay hingi ko ng tawad. Hehe! Corny ba?

So overall damage ko is less than P4,000.00 lang! Ok ano? Ang dami ko nang nabili. Hehe! Kung sa SM yan, ilang piraso lang ang mabibili ko.

So that's it! That's my little kuwento about my past few days and Divisoria shopping...

Have a nice day guys!!!

Thanks Papa G!

The twins are very lucky. They are loved by everyone - especially their grandparents. Super spoiled sila, lahat halos ng ituro binibili.

You want a proof?

Ang dad ko super kuripot niyan, pero pagdating sa kanyang mga apo all out. Kaya last weekend, all their shopping loots are sponsored by him...

Twins' shopping loots

Thanks Papa G for the twins' new sandals, slippers and shades!

Our Future Home

Our first investment as husband and wife is a condominium unit at Makati. We got it on a pre-selling stage way back 2008.

We visited the site this month to check on the progress of the construction. It's almost up. By the way, the target date of turnover will be at the end of this year and we are very excited.

Here are some pictures taken by my hubby:

Food Discovery: Tedi Chocolate Cookies

I have a new discovery and my twins loved it!!!

When I went to the grocery store, I tried to look for animal crackers for my babies. Unfortunately, they don't have any. Instead, I saw this:

Tedi Bear Shaped Chocolate Cookies

It is a bear shaped chocolate cookies by Island Biscuit and it only costs less than P5.00 a pack. I bought one pack first to try if my twins would like it.

I opened the pack one afternoon and gave one piece at a time to my twins so that they could eat it while they are watching a movie. They liked it and finished the pack. Out of curiosity, I tried a piece and it really tastes good. Actually, it tastes like an oreo cookie.

The next time I go back to the grocery store, I will buy these cookies again for my twins.

The Flying House

During my childhood days, one of my favorite cartoon shows is The Flying House. Enjoy na enjoy ako every time nananood ako nito. I got to know different Bible Stories and learn good values.

I came across mom center website and learned about the promo of Philippine Christian Book Store or PCBS. They are selling The Flying House and Superbook DVDs 50% off their regular price.

Ok di ba? I'll buy the complete set for my twins. I bet magugustuhan din nila ito like their mommy.

Until August 31 na lang ang promo nila. If you want to buy also, go na!

You can order thru email order@csm-publishing.com or call 851-0521 and 25 or can buy directly at all PCBS branches, other Christian bookstores, and at CSM Bookcorner.
