Bunk Bed For 3 Boys

Sooner or later (I am praying SOONER!) we will have our house.. their own bedroom.. and though a mansion would make me really really happy…we have other responsibilities, like education, food.. internet, etc.

A 3 bedroom house will make me really really happy too..actually, happier than having a mansion because that’s closer to reality..

Why 3 bedroom? (Read more: How To Maximize Your Bedroom Space)

one for husband & wife, one for the princess (and in God’s time her baby sister>> oh yes we’re not stopping yet! haha) and the other bedroom (which will be the biggest) for the boys. And you know I have three… so as early as now I am already looking for bunk bed ideas for 3 boys.. and ohhhhh I found so many beds! BUT here’s our top pick (boys approved):

Storage Solution Bunk Bed (image from bhuto.com)

This is their top choice, they find it cool that the stairs can be used as storage (and used that as their argument).. hmm I find that cool..only, with this set up, the bed below is too near from the floor.. which I don’t find cool. NEXT PLEASE!

Mommy is claustrophobic! (image from www.divandspan.com)

And this! They like it too! Specially the part where it gets spooky (uhmm at least for me)..exciting for them! I’m claustrophobic! so there is a chance that one of my kids or may suffer the same phobia..

This one looks almost the same as the my approved bed.. but the presentation is too crowded haha and I do not like the color.

Claustrophobic case #2…. can you relate?

This one looks neat too but I really love the color of the bunk bed from the first photo.

OK enough day dreaming.. all these bed talks make me sleepy! time for nap! hehe

Help me choose pala for future reference hehehe

Bag Of The Month: If Only..

So simple and yet so elegant looking..

so delicate and yet durable..

and it is in gray.. every other reason why not to buy this bag fades away..

EXCEPT that I cannot afford it right now..

I hope when that day comes.. I’d still be this in love.

7 Reasons Why I Hate Going To Quiapo

In a span of one week, 3 times ako nag may I sugod sa Quiapo..

1st sugod to buy ate’s wedding ring and to get my camera from Mayer’s (pinalinis ko kase last February).
2nd sugod, binalikan ko ang camera kase hindi pa daw gawa.. waah 3 months un! and at the same time, nagpagawa na din ako ng salamin..
3rd sugod, binalikan ko ung pinagawa kong salamin kase hindi natapos nung 2nd trip ko.

And during those 3 may I sugod eksena, I realized, FINALLY! that I really hate going to Quiapo! Here are the 7 reasons why I hate going to Quiapo.. (makikiuso lang ala viral nova LOL)

New Sin Kian Heng Quiapo — New Sin Kian Heng

1. New Sin Kian Heng. Is there any other place that offers Kitchen Aide Artisan Mixer 4.8 L for as low as 18,000 PhP? Wala na! And other than that, New Sin Kian Heng is home to many cooking wares you suddenly realized you need! I will never set foot on this store again..err not unless I have at least 20K PhP to spend freely woohooo!

2. Killion. If New Sin Kian Heng is cooking and baking wares heaven, Killion is cooking and baking ingredients heaven! 1 Kilo of flour is only 50PhP! The last time I was there, wala naman talaga ako balak bilhin eh, pero bumili pa din ako ng worth 1000PhP goodies..san ko gagamitin iyon? Mayroon talagang centralized hypnotism na nangyayari sa Quiapo eh.. para lahat ng tao dun mamili lang ng mamili!

Excelente Ham Quiapo — Excelente Ham in Quiapo

3. Excelente Ham. Overheard from a buyer at Excelente: “sabi ko sa inyo pag punta natin dito, iwasan natin ang Excelente.. tukso dito eh”

Indeed! I end up buying 1 kilo of scraps, 1 kilo of ham and 1 kilo tapa! For Excelente Ham prices, check out the photo above.

Gold in Binondo how much — Binondo Gold Store

4. Gold. I would like to think that this area is still part of Quiapo, after all, kaunting kembot lang ito from Quiapo church. This is Binondo na ba? Anyways, this is the side of Sta Cruz church. Forgot to ask how much a gram of gold is.. but we got my sister’s wedding ring for 1200 PhP (not the sangla able kind but it’s really nice..not cheap looking). Most of Sati’s earrings are from that area.. these kinds of earrings are usually sold at 500 PHP each (buy one take one, so that’s 250 PhP each) but don’t be fooled by that, you can buy earrings for as low as 150 each. Tumawad ka lang ng tumawad, bibigay din yan.. pag ayaw pumayag, lipat ka sa ibang tindahan 🙂

5. Cheap eyeglasses. Can you guess how much the eyeglasses on the photo is?*

Quiapo is home to cheap eyeglasses (doon ang gawaan ng mga lens at wholesale price ang frames)! So if you have an eye problem, I suggest not to go here, you’ll end up buying 2 pairs! And it won’t even cost the same as the one you got from your optical shop at the mall.

But if you still want to try, here’s how the sop in eyeglasses shopping

Look for a lens maker and ask where to find the cheapest frame
Cheapest means frame for as low as 175 PhP!
Lens maker will accompany you to an optical shop (you need to pay 100 PhP) for your eye grade
Choose your lens! (Multi coated processed lens>> ung sobrang taas na ng grado is 700 PhP.. isipin mo na lang kung gaano yan kamura kung mas mababa ang grado)

Where to buy the cheapest frame? Direction and location here

6. Where to eat? Binondo, which is a stone away (or a pedicab away, for motorized pedicab> 70 per ride, 50 for padyaks) from Quiapo is home to many many many authentic Chinese restaurants.. eherm hahaha

So where to eat? Wai Ying? Quick Snack, Estero, Shin Tai Shang, President’s Grand Palace? saan paaaaa?!?

But don’t forget to try cold milk tea ha 🙂

7. Last on my list.. PASALUBONG!! Hopia? where to buy the best Hopia? Sawa na sa Eng Bee Tin? Try Ho-Land Hopia or the Chinese Hopia on the photo above. Darling Biscuits is hopia with kundol as fillings.. hang sarap!!!!!!

How about fried siopao? frozen wanton, frozen siomai? or how about Lord’s Stow egg tart? Haven’t tried? Huwag mo ng subukan, nakaadik!

BUT!!! even with those hate and the 7 reasons.. pupunta pa din ako ng Quiapo!!! I can’t help it eh hahaha but this time I’ll make sure na may milyones ako sa bulsa LOL hahaha

Meron pa pala! Where to buy cheap kiddie bike in the Philippines? Sa Quiapo pa din!
