Let’s Party!

Birthday party? Here in our country, traditionally, there are must ave or must be in every birthday party. For example, on children’s party, it should have a birthday cake. And back then, there should be a palayok or the local pinata. Aside from that, there should be a pabitin (hanging game). This is a type of game where in the prizes are hanging in a square bamboo made hanger. The hanger was drag up and down and the kids jump to get the prizes. In most adult party celebration, karaoke machine is always present. That shows how much Filipinos love singing and music. Of course in usual adult parties, rice and dishes are present. And in some, party is not complete without a beer.

Rubber Mats For Kids

When I discovered rubber mats, I was hooked. Any mommy will agree. Rubber mats are next to safety. It can turn any hard floor to a safe soft floor. For a mommy of four kids, rubber mats has been my best friend ever since.

I use it specially when the kids are trying to learn how to walk. It has been very helpful to prevent the kids from tripping over and having a hard fall. The only problem I got is cleaning it and it becomes very slippery when wet. Back then, we only use the smaller rubber mats (1 by 1 foot) and it was painful to clean it. I am glad that I have known about the larger one which is 2×2 feet. But here, the only available 2×2 mats are thin and easily damaged. I am still looking for rubber mats that are thick and won’t hurt my pocket (if ever there is one).

The Secret To Having Great Kitchen Counters

Back then, it’s all about tiles. Kitchen counters are done with tiles. Now they say it’s all about stones, stones and stones. And I noticed that even the counter of my favorite  drugstore is made out of stone when I asked for over the counter appetite suppressants. Let’s first define what a kitchen counter is,  counter top is a horizontal surface that is intended for work in the kitchen such as food preparation. In bathroom and workrooms in general, counter top is also present. Usually, this is supported with cabinets below and with a height perfect for working while standing. Counter tops are made of various materials depending on its usage and the workplace where it would be placed.

In most possessional kitchens for example, they use stainless steel as their counter top. In usual homes, specially during the early years, counter tops are made of natural stone. There was a time where wooden counter top was a hit too. And then comes the tiles. Now it’s all about granite. The secret to having great kitchen counters lies not only on the type of material that you will use. It also lies on the materials around the counter. And to the owners taste. The color of the counter should match the color or the theme of the whole kitchen.

Room So Cheerful

Though my Sony w350 camera is not that good when taking photos, there is one thing that I like most about it. Its ability to take panoramic shots. Below is the interior of Brother’s Burger.

Sometimes I wish I can have a room in the housewith the same colors as the room above. It’s so yellow and so cheerful no?
