There's a discussion over at the N@W (Newlyweds-at-Work) forum about this month's electricity bill from Meralco. While I have just written about how ours went down this month, it seems that it's the case with most N@Wies (that's how we call ourselves as members in the group). The question now is: how can we save electricity, without sacrificing usage of the appliances we ... READ MORE
Book Trees
Do you love books? How do you organize them at home? AJ and I each have a vast collection of books that we brought into our apartment. Here are just some of mine (sorry for the bad photo, I took this using my fone): Since we have a modest-sized apartment for me, we decided to store most of the books for now, but left some for display. We wanted our start-up home ... READ MORE
Grilled Cheese Sandwich + French-Pressed Coffee
We love grilled cheese sandwich! I wish I could make this for our breakfast but if I will add up the cost of imported cheeses (you have to use at least 3 cheese varieties to come up with a perfect grilled cheese sandwich), big wholewheat or multi-grain loaf, and the spices that goes with it (to add flavor) - you'll realize that it's better off buying a ready-made one. Our ... READ MORE
Cleaning an Electric Kettle
Today is Labor Day and it's a regular holiday here in the Philippines. That means no work, and lots of time for house work and blogging! I made use of that free day wisely and was able to accomplish so many things: cooking our lunch, updating my blog, organizing my office emails (opps, that's work but I decided to do it while I still have free time) and finally cleaning our ...

Getting rid of ants…
When we few things we have to deal with when we moved into our apartment last year were the cockroaches and ants - black and red. I tried to get rid of them using chalk roach and ant killers and citronella oil in burners which I light every week and place in our kitchen area. Now, we seldom have cockroaches at home (very, very seldom in fact) and I think it really helps ... READ MORE
Citrus Juicer
Found this citrus squeezer with a glass container at S&R the other week for only P120.00. It was perfect for our stock of oranges which we are taking a lot these days because not only are they in season, they really are refreshing drinks especially now that summer has set in: The citrus squeezer was so easy to use and squeezes the most juice out of the oranges, ...

Another Lampshade Make Over
I think our little lamp is already due for another make-over, whaddya think? I know my first try at a DIY lampshade wasn't 100% successful, as you could see from the weird linings at the top and bottom. While the cloth was colorful and the print beautiful, it needs to blend with the over-all color motif of our apartment which is mainly in shades of brown and light ... READ MORE
Surprises on this Day of Hearts!
AJ surprised me today with red roses! It's really very sweet of him =) I wasn't expecting anything today because I know he'll be sleeping the whole morning (he works at night while I work at day). In fact, we sort of "advanced" our Valentine celebration last weekend with a dinner at our favorite restaurant, Chili's, knowing fully well that traffic is going to be a ... READ MORE
