A Homemaker’s Diary

One room downstairs has been tackled last 2 days ago and now I have to think where to stuff all the things lying on my carpet for this festive week. Since I will be moving my workshop cum studio to upstairs room, I will have to pack everything and try to sort out the arrangement in that used to be guest room. The only setback is that the room is always hot because it doesn’t have ceiling fan or air cond. Should I install another air cond unit in the room? huhu…

I was thinking to let go of the single bed and mattress in the room and buy a sofa bed from IKEA. At least during the days I can do my craft work while sitting on the sofa and if somehow we have to use the room as guest room, the sofa bed can be pull out to be instant bed for guest.

Why do home improvement always spell out to spending more existing money?…huhu!

You won’t believe it! After looking around for the perfect gifts for two most important persons in my life for the coming holiday season, I found great ideas with the help of CouponChief.com. Plus with the coupons, I get to save and enjoy the satisfaction of giving.

At Paragon Gifts, I found a nice selections of specialty books. I am looking forward to get this book on 100 Flowers and How They Got Their Names and there is another one titled The Pleasures of Friendship. I have to look for more gifts at the store because I want to make use of the coupon 20% off orders of $50. Perhaps I could get a few titles as a gift to myself..hehe! Any book lover won’t resist the temptation of good content and cheap price, right!

Then for the man who love gaming, I found this perfect gaming chair at Overstock. With the coupon, I can get $35 off this iRocker 250 Gaming Chair. The chair includes a pair of 4-inch high performance speakers and it will be a fun and comfortable addition to the current home decor.

Now what will you buy for the special people in your life?

I went out today to run some errand and I can’t believe how hot it was outside. I was thinking I should be grateful that I don’t have to work outside in the heat like certain people, those selling food at the Pasar Ramadhan, the workers who have to trim grass at the roadside, you know all those people who I passed by while driving.

Sometimes we tend to take for granted the luck and good fortune that we have in life. We get angry easily about menial things, we throw tantrum towards life when we thought that life is not treating us fair. But we forget about others who live a lesser life than us.

I should be grateful that even though it was hot, I have a car to drive and never have to sit by the roadside waiting for bus or worse to walk on foot to my destination.

How would you like to sleep on a pillow with the pictures of your loved ones? For those young at heart and very much in love, this will be like the ultimate romantic idea to be as close as when you fall asleep with the special person you adore so much..heh!

With Vision Bedding, this idea could be a reality. From photo blanket, to photo bedding and photo pillow, the new dye technology will let your favorite pictures be immortalized into the fabric yet it won’t fade. You can wash and use the blanket like a normal fabric blanket. What you’ll get is a soft, superb high-quality personalized picture blanket perfect as personal use or gift for someone who knows to appreciate the finer things in life.

Or if you want to brag about the new stylish photo pillow, you can opt to have the pictures dyed onto throw pillow covers and later you can decorate your sofa with those pillows. Nice suggestion for home improvement, huh?

I took sometimes last night to clear up some mess in the room downstairs and in the kitchen. So after all the washing and cleaning, I decided to stay awake and watched whatever on the cable channel. While flipping through the channels, there was a movie titled The Wedding Date.

It was about a girl, Kat who has to attend her half-sister’s wedding and faced her ex-fiance who dumped her before her own wedding and yet happened to be their best friend. So in order to save face, she decided to hire a male escort, Nick through Yellow Pages to pretend to be her lover at the wedding.

The escort guy was the one who acted in My Best Friend’s Wedding. I really like his style (in the film) and I think now I understand why certain people are willing to spend a lot of money to get an escort service.

As Nick said in the movie, it’s more than the sex. It’s like having a charming guy who devoted his attention and drool upon your existence, thinking you are the best person in the world to be with and not shy to let others see how he feels about it. Of course in the end, Kat and Nick fall in love and Nick decided to let go of his escort career.

I wonder if there is any real man in this world who is really that charming..huhu!
