Its been a month since our house was being "solely" renovated by my very own father, Mang Carding. It all started when we need to make a much safer place for my twins, their bedroom, since then everything went change... for good.
WELCOME....
To the Mini-Couple's Bedroom...
A PLACE TO REST.
Now, the last room needed to be fix in the house was finished, I see how my father took pride of his major work and that is making our own bedroom. Every time we had a visitor, nothing have to passed out without touring them to the entire house, that is why I always make an effort to make the house as nice as possible even I have two little Jurassic-cute act kids to clutter the house. Who could say that this can only be built by one person, every single details, everything you see here was patiently made and build up by my father, I could hardly imagine his effort aside from the fact that he is old enough to do all this things alone, injury and some bruises was a the least I could expect while he was doing this. I will never forget the time he meet an accident while he was taking the part of removing the old walls of our bathroom, a big piece of rock was fall into his feet the cause him to go the nearest clinic.
When I was a kid, I never passed a sleep without dreaming of a beautiful houses, but not for me. I am thinking some of my friends and cousins asking me to arranged their houses from them selves. I actually imagine what would be the design of each houses based on their personality and the kind of activity they have. That is why, I really took the opportunity to participate in furnishing the rooms, you know some kind of a frustrated interior designer, ha-ha-ha@! I just realized that I could never be an interior designer when I was in high school since I never got a grade of 80 in my mathematics subject. Our simple-small altar was placed in our room since I think this is the most quiet place to pray alone in the whole house, some people say that this should be placed where most people can be seen, on the contrary -I don't like the idea of placing altar as part of display attraction in the house just to let the people know that I am a catholic or religious person.

This picture frame was the front and back pictures used in our wedding album. I decided to display as a surprise to my husband and and the same time since photo album was usually for keepsake I chose some of the best photos to display as memorabilia of our dream day wedding.
FRAMES ALL OVER THE ROOM I requested my father to make me a small walk-in cabinet, since our room is very small its hard for me to buy huge cabinet that could be difficult to get inside the house and since my husband and I have many stuff to be kept one cabinet is not enough. I asked a "no door cabinet' so that I can see see and find things easily. The only thing I bought here was this small mirror cabinet to the tune of P1,800 in Pajo, I choose this because the mirror was actually a door where things w/ chemicals like lotion and perfume need to be keep away from my children attention can be placed here. On the left side was our clothes needed to be hang and the right is our folded clothes and some stuff, simple as that. To cover the clutter, I hang this wooden beaded curtain I bought in Quiapo which we called by my father "burlas-burlas". One more thing, I am a kind of person who likes to buy good things at "ukay-ukay" and the white-peach curtain was actually bought in baguio ukay-ukay for only P250.00, good buys isnt?!
THE DRESSER
I actually asked to my father to make me another space in the house where I could place some of my things which is not accessible to my kids. So he made a somewhat like veranda/mezzanine like on the top of our walk in cabinet. This is where I could put my stuff in school, some of my things like stuff toys that I collected since high school, most of them are from my friends. Well since I had my twins boys around its hard for me to display most of my girl things at sad to say my boys are asthmatic, I need to keep them away from this because of their health condition but, guess what happen....
AMIR GOING UP TO VERANDA..
HE NEVER STOP..
BECAUSE HE PLAN SOMETHING, UPSTAIRS!
BEFORE CONSTRUCTION
AFTER CONSTRUCTION
Welcome to....
The Twins's Bedroom!
The Mini-Living Room...
The Mini-Dining Room...
Woh, its never been finished, its just a beginning of never ending decorating activities in the house, this is the only things I could do aside from taking care of my twins until I finished my one year leave, wish me luck for this new career....In behalf of Abella family, we would like to say thanks for all of this, I am not good in this kind of speech, no words can express how we really appreciated being treated like this and welcoming our family, I know this is a kind of act you also never be expected to do. I always remember when I was young, you always told to us not if one of us will get married, we need to get out of the house and live thousand miles away from you, but now look where we are...
Time will come that we need to separate ways, this is one things that we could only left behind. Thanks for everything...
My father, MR. RICARDO ARELLANO SR.
