Tuesdays with Mati...

What a better way to spend a whole day than to spend it with closest friends. Since the plan was to held it on Tuesday, we filed our leaves and planned our foods. Admittedly, we are all very excited for we knew that its gonna be a whole day of fun and laughter.

In fact, it's meant for celebration, for Tita Grace and Ely, two of our former colleague and closest friend recovering from medical treatment. These are the people who can probably say, I survived the challenge. Indeed, they are the strongest who fought and had won the battle against sickness.

And i say, its time for rejoicing through great stories, great food and great place.

The hosts, Atty Mati as we call him, and His wife, Myla, bought a 4000 sqm farm lot in San Felipe, Cuenca Batangas. It was a tremendous effort to transform this barren lot into a well developed sanctuary. And after two years, the place was heaven for the couple and their friends.

Ive been here for several times. And on these three occassions, i cant help but dream of having the same someday. A place where i can detached from my world to be one with nature. To live in simplicity, in basics.

The "Kubo", as we always say has been a work of art for the couple, Atty Mati is responsible for the architecture while Myla took over the interior design. Almost every week, the couple spent their weekends to host friendly gatherings as well as beautifiying their place.

Here are the pics, enjoy...

This is us trying our trying hard wacky poses. Im not on the pic since im the photographer but for sure, I'm also on my wacky as im taking the shot.

The L shaped Sofa

An L shape sofa is a sofa that is literally designed in the shape of an L. It is designed like this for a number of reasons, and is a great choice for many different kinds of living rooms. Many people are buying L shaped sofas these days, in fact, for all of the benefits they offer. So, in case you have not been able to witness these benefits firsthand, here they are! First and foremost, an L shape sofa gives you more actual sitting room than does a regular sofa. Why? Well, because there is simply more of it to sit on! There is the main section (much like a normal couch), then, there is the elbow (a very relaxing spot to sit, I might add..), and the rest of the L on the end...which is usually the size of at least a small loveseat. And since there is so much room on these pieces to sit, you can fit a lot more people onto an L shaped sofa like this than you could on a regular sofa. The next benefit that an L shape sofa gives us is the benefit of being more affordable. Now, at this, you ...

Make Me Home No.4

Welcome to Make me Home edition 4. Weve been doing the dining, living and kitchen already and i guess its proper to feature a bedroom as well. This time, i want to feature a bedroom which is so typical to a filipino setting where the bedroom is shared by siblings. It is a common fact that due to limited space and budget, room sharing is an option to a modest family. Though privacy may be a little bit of a problem when sharing a space, intimacy and healthy relationships can be strengthen by sharing a room with someone who are dear to us. This room may be bit of a challenge for me. When i saw the room, i thought, a bed with a pull out will definitely solve the small space problem. But, its kinda ackward for someone to sleep on the pull out right? In fact, sleeping in a pull out is just an option for a sleep overs. It will be greater and even righteous to give a bed to everyone so they can have a space of their own. So i envisioned a "chic retreat style" for th...

The Health Benefits of A Good Body Massage

Anyone that has had a body massage can vouch for the positive effects as it leaves you relaxed and invigorated at the same time. However, what many people don't realize is that a good massage can do more than just make you feel good right after, it can actually help you improve your health. Tight muscles happen for number reasons, bad posture, stress, injury, disease and more. These tight muscles can make you feel tired and sluggish but a good massage can help relieve the tension of the muscles. Not only will this help you feel better, but it's actually better for you since tense muscles do not have healthy blood flow. The massage will help increase circulation which will bring more blood and oxygen to the muscles and will also help them get rid of toxins easier. But stressed out muscles are usually caused by a combination of physical and emotional stresses as well as internal and external factors. If you are stressed out about something, chances are you're probably tens...
