We usually use small tables around the house, often slender with curved legs resembling consoles which is designed to be set against a wall. We put them in different parts of the house to fill large gaps or wide spaces. It does not only add style and interest. but also serves for functional purposes too. A  metal console table has different uses. It may be used as a housing for electronic instruments, as radio or television.   Placing it in the foyer is perfect for setting down mail, keys, and other small items as you walk through the door. It will also add beauty to your living room having multiple storage and drawers to keep dvds, magazines, etc. A kitchen console table is best to keep kitchen things. A book case console table is perfect to keep your kids’ school stuffs. I saw this elegant bookcase console table which will best fit for my son’s room and a metal console table for our living room. I will ask my husband to buy these as soon as our budget permit

I always dream of a beautiful garden with a gazebo and a sundial.  I want to live in a farm when I get old and have my garden personally landscaped and decorated with plants.  Being a nature lover, I want to spend most of my leisure time bonding with nature.  Having a garden best fits my interest.  I am very enthusiastic to equip my garden with a decorative sundial, a device that measures time by the position of the Sun. It will be very interesting to use it to tell the time of the day instead of looking at my wristwatch.  I can always keep track of time even if all the clocks in the house run out of batteries.   A garden sundial that I dream of!

June 19, 2011 is the celebration of Father’s Day, which is only a few days away from this post.   My two sons and I were secretly brainstorming last night on how we will celebrate it and what to give to our beloved “Haligi ng Tahanan” (a Filipino idiom meaning Father).  This day is one of the most important occasions we celebrate. Yahmir, my youngest son said that he would be making a personalized greeting card, he and his Kuya JM, my eldest son are good in drawing and artworks.   They also suggested that they will be printing a big banner to be placed in our bedroom to surprise their Dad.   JM is also thinking of buying a new mobile gadget as a gift. While I asked their suggestions on what special meal will I cook on this special day. Ideas and suggestions were overflowing, which made us more excited and eagerly looking forward for the family celebration.   We intend to surprise my husband, so we will keep our preparations a secret.   Don’t worry, Noi is very busy nowadays

No Pain, No Gain is a very common expression we always hear from our friends and loved ones when they are giving us hope, motivation and to boost up our self-confidence when we face a difficult situation in our jobs, business or with personal relationships.   Success in life will not come to us handy dandy, not unless you were born with a golden spoon. Without taking risks one will never achieve great success. One must have the courage if she/he wants to succeed in his/her life endeavors. We cannot assure ourselves to be always on top, trials may come and bring us down.   We must learn how to get-along with our associates, learn how to endure pain, solve conflicts, better judgment and wise decisions to achieve professional excellence.   No man is an island, we need other people to live, to share ideas, to take care, to love, to help us out in time of needs. To dream big in my opinion is not an exaggeration of what you want to become or what you want to have.   But don’t just dream,
