DREAM HOME

Spring season has begun but I still feel cold. I thought spring season will make me warm. Melbourne, Australia is really cold and I’ll just wait the summer to come because that will surely the best season for me.

We all know spring season is the time that we’ll see flowers blooming everywhere. I’m glad to see the bright sun everyday and I can’t help but smile to see all those flowers around me and wherever I go it’s like they’re smiling back at me.  Despite of the cold chilly wind that touches my face and blown my hair every time I go out, still the flowers makes my day and put my smile out. Here are some of the beautiful and lovely flowers of spring that blooms in every garden..

I’m doing my Big Bang List by part guys because it really doesn’t work when I posted it all in one. I just don’t know why. So, it’s better to divide it and have the links of all the blggers who joined and linked me as well. I’m just being fair. It’s just now that I came to think to do it this way.

Forget about rooms. Think spaces. Make any area of your home your personal workspace with office supplies of course. A place to surf the web or create. Alone pr together. Because where you’re comfortable is exactly where you do your best work (or play). Visit http://www.cleansweepsupply.com for more of your home office needs. A blank wall here, an empty corner there. Even a hallway can be a workspace with the right solution. Just use the space you have to create smart word area. One that helps you keep everything organized from holiday pictures to getting bills paid on time. That’s what I’m doing .

If you’re planning for a Brazilian tour, let me tell you a certain place that I saw on a magazine. It’s the Hotel Fasano Rio Janeiro. The hotel is said to makes an elegant addition to Ipanema’s beautiful beachfront. For a sense of place, look no further than the single, six-ton piece of reclaimed ipe wood which serve as the magnificent check-in desk. The 82 rooms and 10 butler-serviced suites are luxurious and warm, with balconies perfectly positioned above the famous beach. The best views are from the popular rooftop bar and pool; the stunning Fasano Al Mare restaurant downstairs attracts an equally fashionable crowd.
Specializing in Italian food and dishes, it is the family’s most ambitious restaurant to dates, and the Starck-designed bar installation, a showcase of glass and mirrors featuring 30 different vignettes of rare ocean shells, is a fitting backdrop.
It is best to go there in early February for the four-day carnival. So, as early as now get your Brazil vacation packages and don’t forget to book at the said hotel.

Ensuring a good vacation begins with the planning as they say.  I’ve had no luck in this in the previous vacations that I had, so I was getting worried that my next one was going to be spoiled from the very start. I already decided that I wanted to visit certain part of Asia, but I wanted to visit a few countries there. I decide that I would just go for cheap hotels for my accommodation. In my previous vacation, I nearly spent a fortune on accommodation alone. So this time, I’m planning to spend more time exploring than more time at a fancy hotel lobby.

It would really be a crazy world if we didn’t have a free choice for insurance providers. Specially with car insurance, it would really be very difficult to have a single provider.   I mean, you would probably be paying ridiculous amounts to a single insurer; and the service wouldn’t be that great.  It’s a good thing that in our world now, we always have a free choice.  We can compare auto insurance from a lot of different insurers or providers. It is just great to be able to choose a great price, and the good service.

WHAT MAKES ME HAPPY:

Material things: A lot  and what makes me more happy is knowing that all my love ones are happy too.

WHAT MAKES YOU SAD: Material things: I don’t feel sad if I don’t have those material things as long as it is not badly needed. Being alone maybe really makes me sad. Losing love ones. Heaven Forbid! Tagging Twinks, Sheng, Bill, Sam and Nancy Twerlz and Babette.

When I started gardening here in our new home, it was nearly autumn season. I only have a small space for gardening, so, no huge preparation. I bought flowers suited for autumn season. But when the winter season come, some of flowers rest in peace . I wasn’t able to buy winter flowers because I don’t like gardening during cold days. It chills me to the bone. Now, my mini garden is a mess and I felt lazy to cultivate it. I am just glad that roses don’t give up on winter chill and still alive.
The good news now is that winter has to end. Spring time and I’ll be back with my gardening hobby again. I’m crazy about flowers. Pink, red and all colors. I love them all around me. I also got a citrus plant that is holding on of the winter. The plant is nearly to die but I can still see it’s fighting. I bought the citrus plant (kalamansi) at the nearest flower and garden shop in our house. I tasted the fruit first before I bought if it taste like the kalamansi in the Philippines that I used to make as sawsawan (sauce) if I have fried fish and nilagang baka (beef stew) with our dish. I was so glad that it was really sour like the kalamansi in my country. I enjoyed those times that it was abundant with fruits. I just hope when spring come, my citrus plant will be back to its normal appearance. My plant look so ill now .

Pictures on the day I started gardening. It was my son’s trip to take picture on me.
