Re-designing Our Garden And Patio

 

The rainy days are now over and the sun is back shining everyday. Although we have lost some of our beloved plants due to heavy rain and strong winds, yet, we are still thankful that most of are plant are ok. They say that if one door closes another window opens. So, we come to realize that we should not regret loosing some of our plants, because we know we could still buy new ones and we are now much wiser when it comes to taking care of our plants especially with bad weather. It's a lesson well learned for us. We recently bought new plants and trees for the garden as replacement. And now, we are waiting for the shipment to arrive because some of the plants were bought online through our trusted seller.

In addition to these new plants and trees are the commercial fiberglass planters that we saw the other day at the mall. We bought these planters on sale and thought that its jar and jug shaped would fit perfectly to our garden and patio. The portofino planter is accentuated by a prominently rolled rim detail and is very good for gaping corners in outdoor or indoor design spaces, which can provide a sense of thoughtful, modern style. These portofino planters are made from durable and versatile fiberglass planters are a heavy duty product capable of handling large planting loads. While, awaiting a shipment of plants, these visually stunning planters are actually striking enough to stand alone. My husband and I were both excited for the new plants to arrive, so that we can re-design our garden and patio as well.

Since fiberglass is resistant to rotting, decaying and fading, these planters make an easy asset to contemporary landscape design. Everything is already set, the garden beds are also ready and new pots will also be delivered in a few days. Its true, that change is the only thing that is constant on this world. So we should not be afraid to change. Yes, we may loose something good, but remember that we we mat also gain much better things.

Enjoying Dinner With My Family

As we all know, the moon borrows it's brightness from the sun. Without the sun, the moon will not be able to illuminate brightly at night. It's really a big mystery how thing were created and how each of us needed all of these creations to be able to survive or live. For the past three nights, we have been enjoying the beauty of the full moon. My husband and son were taking pictures of the moon, while I am preparing for our dinner last night. We planned to dine at our patio tonight. The table is all set and my two boys are just waiting for the meal to be served.

They both prepared the tables and lighted some candles and they also added some illuminated cubes on the table. We bought these illuminated cubes online and it was delivered to us after three business days. We first saw these illuminated cubes and got very fascinated with it's beauty, when my husband and I visited a bar for a drink. These lighted furniture not only provides a functional surface, but it also engages the eye with each illuminated chair or table. After cooking and plating the dishes, I immediately went to the patio because for sure my husband and son were both very hungry and is looking forward to our family dinner. We would always pray before and after each meal to thank God for all the blessing he have showered upon us. And we totally enjoyed the watching the nice view of the moon while we are all eating happily.

A family that does things together, stays together forever. Now, I get to realize the meaning of these sayings about family. It's because when a family does things together, they share a bond only they could understand. Even when the kids grow up and have their own family, they would still look back to those days when they were young and still dependent to their parents. They would definitely share the same values to their own family. In life, we always have to remember that we only reap what we have sown. So we always have to make sure to sow good and great things because it will definitely bounce back to us ten times more.

Constructing A Better World

 

Everyday we see different colors and shapes around us. It inspires us to create new and better designs for a commercial or residential settings. Even great painters, designers, architects and landscapers got their ideas from nature itself. Planters, pots, jars and jugs are just a few examples of man's great designs. It is mostly used for gardening and landscaping. Business establishments like hotels, restaurants, spa, and resorts are just few examples where we could see these great designs of man. Strolling down the park every afternoon has been our everyday routine. One striking piece that really caught me and my son's attention is the modular planter that was recently added for a much flexible design in that area.

These curving modular planters are segmented to let you combine multiple pieces to make or create any specific design you want. They are perfectly placed in locations where they create an undulating borders to act as crowd control. And other modular planters were wrapped around columns and posts in the park to highlight them. We get to enjoy seeing different views and people who are also there to exercise or stroll around like my son and I do. I am also thinking of buying the same design for our garden since I also love to collect these exceptional planters.

At the end of the day, we should always thank God, for giving us talents and skills to make great things for the betterment of our planet. It is always in our hands to make things which can help us build a better world or destruct the world that was given to us.

Dining Out With My Family

 

Going out to eat with my family has always been one of our favorite past time. We all love to eat and try new dishes and cuisine. Although it might really affect our nutrition plan, but we don't really mind at all. Life is too short to hold back on the things that we wanted to explore and discover. But of course we still make sure to eat the right kind of foods and meals at home. Just to balance things up for us and we get to jog at least thrice a week to make sure that we still get to maintain a healthy weight plus it helps build strong bones and improves cardiovascular fitness. That is also the reason why we really don't mind eating whatever food or dish we like, for us, eating out as a family is a great time to bond and enjoy life.

We would just eat out, whenever my husband and I were both tired coming home from work. Instead of preparing meals that would take much time, we would all just agree to dine out. I remember when we ate at a restaurant near our place, the food they serve is simply mouth-watering. And the place feels very homey, I was astounded by one of their centerpieces. It is a modern contemporary designer planter. It is such a lovely work of art. Customers would really take their pictures with the modern contemporary designer planter before leaving the place or while waiting for their food to be served. The design appears to be an I shape but has been twisted and goes well with their indoor commercial settings. We are really looking forward going back to that restaurant.

They serve all kinds of steaks and we are looking forward to taste all of them. They also serve root beer float which I totally love by the way and another specialty of the house are the gelatos which my son love so much. Family meal time is the perfect way of bonding with your husband and kids, as well as, to plan, connect and learn from one another. It's a chance to share your experiences and news for the day. It can be a unifying experience for all.

Introducing Greenery In The Office

 

Offices and commercial or business spaces are known to be populated places because of the employees as well as guests and customers that would usually visit these areas. Making sure that it is clean and not just presentable, but instead well-design and decorated with elegance and beauty. Owners of these buildings and offices have allocated budgets for maintenance and design especially for their place to be more attracted. Adding pots and planter, as well as living wall system can totally improve and change the look of a modern office or other business spaces.

Adding these great indoor office planters to the lobby or at the reception area will definitely give a touch of classic elegance to any space. Offices nowadays have a need for plants because of the many benefits that these employees get not just physically but also psychological effect. Introducing or decorating your office with plants on these office planters reduces stress and thus, increases productivity of each employees. Buildings and office environments appear more calming and simply a nicer place to be when plants are present. These plants are more interesting, colorful and relaxing to look at. Plants also enable employees and guests to perceive their surroundings better, thus, reducing stress.

Dust levels in the workplace can be reduced when plants are present. That only means, you breath a much cleaner air. With correct placement of plants, the need for air condition can also be reduced. By reducing the dry air caused by air conditioning and increasing the humidity, illness such as tickly coughs are much less common. But before placing these plants inside these offices, make sure to choose plants that can adopt and thrive inside these areas due to certain environmental conditions.

Experiencing Life's Simple Pleasure

 

A cousin of mine who works at a BPO company, won a raffle ticket for a 3 days and two nights stay at a 5-star hotel. It is a reward for being consistent top agent in their account.She is very lucky because she also gets to pick another person to come with her. When she first told me the good news about her staying at the hotel for a paid vacation, I almost felt jealous because their company had these kind of reward system. But, when she said that she will bring me along with her, I almost jump for joy. But I couldn't do that because of the fact that I am 7 moths old pregnant. I felt that staying at a hotel even for just two nights would help us relax and regain our strength, as well as, let us experience a stress-free environment.

I made sure to make a list of everything that my husband and son would need to do when I am not around. And made bold letters on making sure that the plants are taken cared of by them. They both agreed to help one another while I am on a 3 day vacation with my cousin. I wanted to bring them along with us, but it would just ruin the plans my cousin and I made for the short stay at the hotel. My husband and son, drop us off at the hotel where we will be staying. The employees were very helpful and friendly and they always carry along with them their courteous smiles ready to greet and serve every customer. At the lobby, I notice that the have unique interiors. I was informed that the hotel was designed by a British Architect. When we reached the room where we will be staying, I immediately check the veranda. It is overlooking the pool and the whole city as well. They also have these cute modern lattice planter beside the coffee table at our veranda. There are varieties of flowers planted in the modern lattice planter which made it more interesting.

We were very satisfied and looking forward to stay in that hotel again. They really pampered us and made us feel very welcomed and well accommodated. Life is short, so we must make sure to grab every opportunity to enjoy life while it lasts. Let us also be thankful to our Creator for blessing us and providing us with the kind of life that we truly deserve.

Traveling To The Countryside Alone

 

It was a rainy Saturday morning and I had to wake up early because I will be traveling for 4 hours to the countryside. I was a bit excited, since I get to travel alone and I will have more time for myself to reflect and to find my inner peace again. I will be away from our busy life in the city just for two days. I left all the responsibilities at home to my husband and son. I hope that they do good on the tasks that I have given them. I will be staying at my friend's house for two days because she will be on a business trip and nobody will be left at her place. That is the reason why she asked me for this kind of favor. I couldn't say no because I know that I also need this time to relaxed and unwind.

Good thing, my son agreed to stay at home with his Dad just for two days. Because, he would usually tag along wherever I go. His dad had to bribe him with playing computer games, so that he will not insist on going with me on this trip to the countryside. Everything is far different from the busy life at the city compared to the countryside. I can smell the fresh air and the hear the different sounds of animals coming from different farms. When I arrived at my friends house, she is already packing her things up and getting ready to go to the airport. She left a list of things that I can do while she is away and clearly instructed me not to do house chores because I am there for a vacation and not to clean her house. I was really amazed seeing how beautiful her backyard is. She is also a plant lover like I do and sharing this same interest made our friendship grew stronger. She has a growing collection of flowering plants and I even saw some rectangular fiberglass planters on the patio full of flowering plants too.

I saw the pair of rectangular planters that I had given her as a gift last year. It is displayed in the middle of her garden and I was really touched by how she treasured and kept that gift of mine to her. I decided to go back inside her house because it started to rain. I sat by a rocking chair that is located near the window while sipping a cup of coffee and started reading a good book that is written by my favorite author Anne Rice. It's gonna be a long 2 days but I know that I will simply enjoy every bit of it.
