It’s Friday the 13th weekend.  And you know what they about this notorious day, it’s bad.  Bad accidents and weird things happen on this day.  I originally planned to stay home today but errands are errands and they can’t wait.  So instead of staying home and watching some movies, I ended up driving around the [...]

I don’t have a big home.  In fact, our former home is three times bigger than where we live now.  There are advantages to a smaller home.  Of course, anyone who likes a tidy house would find herself having more time in her hands than those with bigger and more space to cover and clean.  [...]

I still lived with my parents when I was studying in College.  The university I went to was just near our place so it was not a problem looking for a place to stay.  I didn’t have to move out or travel far compared to my classmates who back then, lived far or just wanted [...]

We have too many clothes.  I don’t know where else to put the rest.  Even my little girl has problem with storage.  All her toys and collection of fancy dress have been set aside in a big box until I find or create a space for them.  This is the problem with condo living.  Storage [...]

I like to collect things, and when you have limited space it easily gets cluttered. I usually collect old things.  Not necessarily antiques but things that others might call shabby chic.  It’s so 90’s but I love things with a bit of history.  I love the weathered look.  I like things I know people have [...]
