a day at the farm


















I miss the farmlife..perhaps the rural life of my childhood is catching up with me especially these days. So when a friend offered her parcel of land down south ( with a friendly price of course ! My heart leaped and skipped a bit,) I thought ,this is going to be my playground. Five years after, haven't done anything about it .Ha!
Until early last year, I started getting some sense and tried my greenhorn hands on the soil. There is just the mountain beaming at me , that's all i care about.My brother sketched the farmhouse, I did some trial-and error with tropical plants.And my naive heart wanted a pond. Doesn't exactly know how to make it work.
Still at it though, this is a story in progress, you would see the house built using oldwood and riverstones laid out by the Igorots, the "kubo " hut as an outdoor kitchen, the pond, and evrything else in waiting..
The flowers thrive at last!

The Room Upstairs for metro home magazine



So after six months of struggling, God has been really good to Ari and me. . a break has landed on our lap as i become a featured designer on Designer's picks for the coming Metro Home magazine. This is the one thing that's very close to my heart ever since I could remember. . to design , to surround myself with all things beautiful. I could be very vain in that sense..
It's a never ending restless pursuit for me.. to be able to find the perfect piece, the right color, the balance of it all.
As i leave for the weekend to be in cebu ( Gosh, I'm excited about what pieces I could find ! ) , Enjoy the pics !
