Yes, I am now married! And I am loving every second of it.
Mac and I have been married for 14 days now. Time indeed flies when you're having fun! :) He's been the sweetest, most supportive husband and I thank God everyday for giving me such a wonderful partner. And speaking of wonderful... let me share some pictures of our lovely, new home. Since Mac and I saved a bit of money from our wedding, we used this to renovate my Tita's old apartment. She used to live here until my cousin (her daughter), who works in Singapore, asked her to live with her permanently. It's about 3 streets away from my old house, which makes this place even more perfect! Everything is by my fabulous interior designer-friend Marja Corcuera (she owns Diseno), who's our college Magna cum Laude (just had to say that!). She is awesome!
Let me take you on a grand tour of the place Mac and I now call 'home'...
 |
| If William Thacker had his "house with a blue door" on Notting Hill, Mac and I shall be "that house with the red door". Come on in! |
 |
| Once you enter, you'll see this mini foyer kind of area. |
 |
| I often sit on this brown couch, which is evidently separate from our main sofa. Our living room isn't complete yet so I won't post a picture of it. :) |
 |
| My favorite section of our house: the kitchen! This is where I whip up my favorite dishes. Mac has gained weight since we got married. Yey! And yes, all our doors are red. The one you see is the door leading to the small area where we wash our clothes. The one next to it is our bathroom. :) Our dining room is attached to our kitchen counter. This move made our apartment look even more spacious. I super love our kitchen talaga! I can't wait for Masterchef Rika (my best friend since high school who got me inspired to start learning how to cook) to see this! |
 |
| A closer look at our kitchen. Pretty 'complete' already. We have everything we need! I can stay here all day. |
 |
| Loving the light coming from the exhaust! Makes our very fancy looking kitchen look even more posh. |
 |
| Some of my kitchen essentials: Cans of Hot & Spicy Century Tuna (I make a kick ass tuna pasta), my kitchen timer (I love instant noodles!), spanish sardines as my fave breakfast, my MAGGI MAGIC SARAP (my ultimate kitchen tool) and Mac's coffee, sugar and creamer containers. Got the white extra shelf from the Japanese section of SM Supermarket in Southmall. They have awesome stuff there, I tell ya! |
 |
| I am SO in love with our knives! |
 |
| You can never go wrong with Corelle. These black and white babies were a wedding present. The glasses are a wedding present too from my good friends Earl and Tons Tan. Our mega reliable Gourdo's chopping board was a gift from my stylish college friend, Tin Borillo. |
 |
| Eating is extra fun when you have really fancy forks and spoons. :) Thanks to my friends, Robby and Laurie for these! Bought this plastic container again from that Japanese section in SM Supermarket in Southmall. |
 |
| Love our clock!!! This was a bridal shower gift from my one and only K.A. :) |
 |
| The red door leading to the bathroom... (Red shower mat from Ace Hardware.) |
 |
| The peg for the bathroom was that it should be "spa"-like. And it is, indeed! |
 |
| I want to take a bath 10x a day! |
 |
| Bathroom set from Ace Hardware. They have pretty decent, reasonably-priced stuff! |
 |
| Thanks Tin Borillo (again) for these candles! |
 |
| Now let's go up the second floor... |
 |
| There are two rooms at the second floor. Room 1: We have a walk-in closet! Dream come true! Won't post the other sections. Hope you don't mind! :) |
 |
| And of course, the Master's Bedroom. Our room is lovely. :) |
 |
| Across our bed is my work station. Really can't help it! I work best late at night so there must be a place where I can write down my concepts and... tweet. Hahaha! By the way, that's Mac's creation on the wall. He made me that as a birthday present several years back. |
Marja improved on the lighting as well. Overall, the look and feel is very modern, homey and a small piece of heaven on earth.
Mac and I love, love, love our house! :) And we love you, Marja!!!
I hope you enjoyed the tour! What do you think?
