Choosing the Perfect Dining Set for Your Family

Last night was a tiring night, as I accompanied my boyfriend and his sister to a furniture shop in Cubao. We had a hard time choosing the perfect dining set for their new home.

It is really important to know the materials used for the pieces of furniture you are eyeing for. Most of the dining tables and chairs available at Blims Furniture are made of Malaysian wood, which is believed to be less durable and more expensive than Philippine wood.

Having kids running around the house should also be considered. Furniture must be accident-free. Edges and corners should be examined and modified according to the needs of the family members.

The color of the paint is also important. Shades, darkness, and hues must blend with the theme, if there's any. The brighter, the better; if you are into nature, a mahogany-colored dining set would be great.

If I were to buy one, I would probably get a hardwood-made dining set. I know it is worth big bucks, but it will surely last a lifetime. I should start saving money now for a narra set.

For the Love of Gardening

It has been years since I last visited my small garden in the house. My orchids and other ornamental and flowering plants have been taken for granted since then. I get to water them everyday, but I seldom cultivate their soil or speak to them, just like what I used to always do. Honestly, I miss them.

This is actually the result of my being busy with work and online jobs. I really have to sacrifice some things I loved to do before, in order to get my obligations done. I am sure you know what I mean, for most of you are in the same shoes.

My love for plants lives again after I revisited Paradizoo Theme Farm in Tagaytay City last January 21. I enjoyed walking along the isles of vegetable plots and flower gardens with my co-bloggers. On that very day, I told myself I am going back to my previous hobby of improving our home and garden. Besides, I also feel the urge to remodel our side pathway and front yard because I will need a space for the car parking and for my Mom’s convenience store.

I wonder where to start. First things first: visit a gardener’s supply store for flower boxes, fertilized soil, and some seeds!

I Go for Accounting Softwares Online

We know how to count and do the four major mathematical operations, but do we know the concepts, principles, and formulas—even the basics—in accounting?

Every individual does a little of math everyday, especially when it comes to money. I used to love the subject when I was in grade and high school, because numbers are fun and challenging. And yes, I used to dream of becoming a certified public accountant, too, in my late 20s because I find it flattering and cool, as it is among the most sought-after and well-recognized professions across the world, plus you get to enjoy the honor of attaching a CPA title to the end of your name.

However, I am not planning to go back to college or graduate school for an accounting degree, not because I do not want to, but because funds are not available as of the moment. I still have other plans to prioritize and these have to be funded as soon as possible. Good thing there is Internet, a one-stop shop of everything, where I can get an accounting software whenever I need it.

Accounting your assets and liabilities is easier now. You can learn everything from the internet, and online tutorials are so handy nowadays, especially when it can be downloaded for free.
