Our DIY Lampshade

07.19.2011 by Leah //

I was suddenly inspired to "dress up" our lampshade after I saw this DIY tutorial over the internet.  My inspiration:We have just bought a yard-length japanese cotton fabric on sale, and it's perfect for the lamp!   It's an indigo fabric with japanese cherry blossoms:Actually our lamp is already a pretty one to begin with, but the lampshade is ...

Our own-style Breaded Pork Fillet

07.03.2011 by Leah //

Our lunch today was very easy to prepare and cook.   It's the ol' classic breaded pork (we used the butterfly-cut pork, instead of porkchops) which we just seasoned in salt and pepper, then coated with flour (seasoned with salt and basil leaves), battered egg and bread crumbs. Here's our pork fillet being fried (by me, yehey!): I feel much comfortable frying meat ... READ MORE

This post comes a little late.   I was supposed to blog about our wedding gifts but I totally forgot about it and now we're using most of them already hehe.Since, we did not specifically ask for monetary gifts, AJ and I received plenty of gifts.We had fun opening gifts (most of them in SM wedding wrappers in plain silver because our gift registry was from SM) and ...

Actually AJ did.  After much pestering from me (sorry!) he bought 2 boxes (4 chalks all) for us to try out.I've drawn lines already in all our kitchen cabinets.  Tomorrow I will continue with the cupboards.  I think it's better to do that in the morning so I could draw the lines better.  So there.  I hope I won't see creepy insects crawling in there ...

Living with little, creepy insects

06.29.2011 by Leah //

I fear cockroaches.   I shriek and run everytime I see one. So last night, alone at home (AJ works on a night shift), just as I was about to prepare myself to bed, I saw this big cockroach walking along our kitchen cabinet.   I shrieked of course, and realizing that I'm alone and have no one turn to, ...

From Japan Home

06.27.2011 by Leah //

We buy most of our plastic organizers and containers from Japan Home because of their durability, functionality and price (all items are priced at P88, unless otherwise indicated).We recently bought this multi-purpose storage box to store our bread and other snacks in:I looked closely at the front label and it says:  "Rangement Cabinet shelf":A case of ...
