im itching to have a new project. something that would challenge my artistic side- if i ever really have one. im thinking of making over our house. it's no secret that im into interior designs and i strongly regret that i didnt take the course back in college. however, all the design mags and shows that i've been seeing would suffice for now as i have pretty much grasp the basic rules in interior decorating. like what i said, im eyeing our house as my guinea pig for this i-feel-like-designing trip that i have lately. the first thing i have to figure out though is the budget. how much do i need for the make over? hmmm. come to think of it. i should be thinking first of what i want to change in the house. well, i want to change the color of our walls. i want to have an accent wall.  then i want to buy some home accessories. after that, i would change the furniture layout. i want the house to be more elegant yet homey at the same time. i want to mix pinoy style with zen...woah! how the hell am i gonna do that?! haha! no, lemme correct that, i want to mix traditional and modern ways of improving the look of our home. hmm..

i miss our house. i miss home. i miss my family. that's probably the reason why im itching to do this project. to have a reason to stay there for a while. not that i dont get to see them anymore. hello, we are just a jeepney ride from each other. all i have to do is call and ask them to come over our place. or vice versa.

Oh, who wouldnt want to be there?! i miss my dad's home cooking. See, my dad is a great cook. i miss long silly talks with mom and my brother before going to bed. i miss our cat pupu, whom i usually feed like a child on my lap. i miss watching primetime tv with them, fighting over whose gonna hold the clicker. i miss dad's late night pasalubong, usually chowking’s siomai and beef mami. I miss spending sundays with them which means waking up to rj music and hearing “gising na! rj na!” on the background. I miss doing household chores with them, actually more of, fighting whose suppose to do this and that. and taking advantage of the fact that im the panganay..hehe. damn, i even miss my brother's annoying loud music!

It occurred to me that this September, mum and dad is gonna celebrate their silver wedding anniversary. And I want it to be special by giving the house a make over. While typing away, I have already determined the budget and where im gonna get it and everything. Oh! it’s going to be one hell of a project. And it’s going to be the most fitting gift for the bestest bunch of peeps in my life. 'Cant wait!
