House Update: Roofing, Staircase, Driveway

The roof insulation as well as part of the long span roofing have been installed. The ridge roll hasn't been installed yet.


Our humble house is slowly taking shape in between two behemoths. Of course unlike the two houses on both sides, our house will be brighter with natural lighting and more ventilated with the side windows. This is because we didn’t firewall on either side.

Poochie’s Growing Fast

Maybe it’s the vitamins she’s getting everyday, but the puppy’s getting bigger. Here, she’s munching on a piece of stick, to Renz’s amusement.

Moved Bathroom

The second change suggested by the engineer was the moving of the bathroom from the middle of the floor area towards the back near the laundry room. This proved to be another good idea.

Here’s the old position taken in August 8. The hollow blocks below was supposed to start the bathroom walls. The door is so close to the kitchen window and that makes the counter really short.

Reworked Bedroom Corner

Ugh, it’s been a long while since I last blogged. There’s just too much stuff going on at work.

Engr. Toti has moved on to his next project in Ayala Alabang and I’m very very glad that he took over while Arch. Nani went vacationing in the U.S. Toti gave some very good suggestions for changes.

One of this was the removal of the proposed water tank from a corner of the house that significantly claimed space from one bedroom. It didn’t make much sense (and I agreed) to allot the space for just a mini-tower for the water tank.

Photo-op with Renz

Here's another at the photo-op at the new house. Form lumber have been set for the small bay windows' awning. DH, Renz and I went there to put anti-termite proofing for the stair landing.


Later in the afternoon Renz attended a birthday part as Robin shown here without the mask.

Third Lotto Winning

Yup, another winning - for a minor prize, that is.
This time for a 10 peso ticket, I won a whopping 40 pesos (the 4th prize, or 3 numbers matching). Ah well, maybe I'm getting warmer or closer to the grand one. Next time.


The prize winnings so far is Php 180.00. Awesome.

Breathtaking Shercon Resort at Lipa City

Yesterday was our office activity at Shercon Resort in Mataas na Kahoy, Lipa City in the province of Batangas. Beautiful place, although a bit secluded for my taste. You may find their website here. The views were awesome! Check the pics below.

Beautiful Taal Lake behind us.

Linggo ng Wika Activity

Renz had a dance number yesterday for the Linggo ng Wika in school.


Dada feeding Poochie her vitamins.

Ampalaya Veggies at the Renthouse

In just a short time that we’ve been at the renthouse, DH managed to harvest from the ampalaya (bitter gourd or melon known to control Diabetes) she just planted at the side fence. Of course, with the rainy season, I suppose planting veggies at this time is always a good idea.
