May is Out, and it's beautiful

Real Living’s May issue is now out, and I must say, it’s one of our favorites. Aside from the fact that we went to Negros to create this issue (that’s the museum/ancestral house Balay ni Tana Dicang on the cover), the other articles are just as lovely! We started it off with Tisha Alvarez-Angluben’s beautiful Mother’s Day party story…

…Gwyn Guanzon and contrib Arlene Maslog’s elegant piece on how to prettify your medicine stash in the bathroom…

…while we’re on the topic of bathrooms, check out Arlene Sy’s and Katherine Lopez’s special RL Notebook features on bed, bath and beyond...

…plus Coni Tejada’s typically upbeat story on how to get up and out of the house in 15 minutes (the secret is all in your bedroom!!!).

And I have to say that architect Bernie Sason’s Negros house is one of the most beautiful homes I’ve ever seen!

Check out Bernie’s amazing home, as well as a special on Negros heritage, shopping, and travel in Real Living’s May 2010 issue, out in bookstores and newsstands for only P140.

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 ...

The Living Room Evolution...

Would you go for a distinct look?... Or something with comfort? Actually, the last pic was my new living room. Though i love the style of my old living room, with my hard wood japanese sofa, it compromise my need for comfort. Honestly, my mother is always complaining that the wood is so hard to sit in and was not too comfty. I bought the japanese sofa last November 2009 because im looking for a japanese themed living room, and voila, i found one and i know its a great deal. Ive been looking for the same kind for so long and this one is I thought perfect for the theme. Unfortunately, and by experience, i cannot last long sitting on the hardwood even if pillows are there for relieve, its just too hard and painful on the butt! So one time when i was in a mall just trying to look for a replacement, i saw this cream sofa made of real wood and leather. It was a perfect choice because it looks like the one in the 4th edition of real home living magazine, the color book which became my inspi...

It started

And it started a week ago. For whatever it may cost, I had started it. There's a lot of problems initially but i really wanted to focus on the goal as i know preparation takes more time and effort. I want to enjoy the process and I don't want to be stressed about it. I'm so excited and i cannot contain it.
