Im A Buddha Collector

Ive been collecting Buddha's for the past five years already. If I'm not mistaken, i already have 16 pieces at home. Every house guests are curious and fascinated as well as they look at each piece. These pieces are made of wood, clay, or cement. Here are some of my collections.

This is how my collections were displayed at home. Some of these were from a local thrift store and were acquired through the years. Some of these are gifts from my friends, some are my finds. A lot mistook them for being expensive because of the materials and its weight, but these collections are not expensive at all.

These replica of Lantau Islands Buddha in Hongkong was purchased in a local garden shop. An original terracotta one and now spray painted in gold for some color. I actually purchased two of these and now sits on my side tables in the living room.

This one was purchased in Thailand during my visit. I am very excited to visit Bangkok since it is my first time in the country and i knew that i can find a good one there. This is a DIY project. I managed to find a nice slate of wood as a background and place the statue on a stand to make a wall display and voila, a nice accent on my wall.

Those two Indonesian Buddhas are from eBay. The two were my first acquisitions. Since then i became fascinated in buddha collection and started it as a hobby.

The last acquisition is a Chinese one, about 2.5 feet tall, pretty huge and now sits in my dining area. This is from Evangelista in Makati where they sell old stuff.

The three sepia buddha pictures was just from the net. I just printed it and displayed it at home.

This also is from Evangelista Makati. Youll be surprised to discover that you can open the panels revealing a small mirror inside.

This is me visiting the worlds largest buddha in Lantau Island, Hongkong. I am so very privileged to visit the place since i am a buddha collector. Quite surprised upon visiting the site because i do not even know that i have the replica of it at home.

This statue is the world's largest Buddha bronze statue. It's 34 metres tall and weighs 250 tonnes, empowered in December 1993.

I hope i had shared to you all of my buddhas at home. My collection do not only bring happiness to me as i got to do what i love but also brings tranquility at home which is what the statue is all about.

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 this bedroo

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

La Residencia Almar...my home in Dumaguete

This is La Residencia Almar in Dumaguete City where i stayed for six nights. Actually, this is my second time to stay in this hotel because i was here last year. I opted to stay again in this hotel because i love the view in its front and it is smaller than the usual hotel located in Dumaguete. In front of the hotel is the famous Dumaguete Boulevard where a lot of people, local and tourist gather every morning and at night to see the majestic view of the sea. But what makes me desire to stay once again is tits beautiful interior, a Balinese theme which i always love in every home. The nice lighting fixture greeted me as I enter the hotel. This is spectacular especially at night. I love the simple but colorful detail at the base of the chandelier. The nuetral paint, with mostly beige, white and brown accentuated by several niches where an old jars are kept in display, trimmings and wooden pieces makes me think that I am in an old world retreat but never forgetting the asian herit
