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 ...

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...

For this month....

I am so excited to decorate my nest. Its been quite a while since my last blog, maybe because i am so busy for the past few months. Its not just blogging that i missed, also dressing my nest. For this month, i like to see my nest in blue, orange and green, the usual colors that i like. But this month is quite unusual, because i tend to lean on a musculine style, more toned down but colorful as well. Its just that i like to see my nest as subtle as it can be, with minimum decor, restive but colorful as well. Its my character, it defines my style, colorful as always. See how striking the picture is, and its colors...im so excited to use this color palette at home. I also found one big buddha at a local thrift store. Its so beautiful that i was eager to buy when i embraced it. You know the feeling that you are fit to each other, as if you are really meant to be. Thats what i felt when i embraced my new buddha. All in all, i have 16 pieces now at home. I know its an addict...
