I’ve loved Heima ever since I first visited their store in Cubao Expo for a photoblogging class with Anton Diaz. I even posted about decorating a kid’s space using the pieces I found there.  Now, they’ve opened a new branch at the LRI building in Nicanor Garcia St. Makati, which also serves as their head office. I was thrilled when I was invited to the sneak preview of the fun and fine store. “Heimish chic” is what they call their style, BDW called it controlled chaos. Whatever it is called, I just adore the use of color and whimsy in their pieces. They’re grown up furniture with a fun and quirky twist.

In a folder in my office PC is a folder that’s named “DW’s room”.  In there are all the pics and ideas that I have for DW’s bedroom when the time comes that he finally gets his own space. As we still live with my parents, having a room all to DW is still a pipe dream for now and so any redecoration has to be put on hold. DW’s got a  corner in my room all to himself though. It currently has a huge box of toys, a mattress and two walls of stuffed toys which were  hung on hooks by my mom.

But these wall stickers from Nu Dekor could just change all this! I first saw these guys at  Expo Kid and I got their card in the hopes of contacting them soon to buy some of their stuff What’s great about these Nu Dekor stickers is that I can just peel them off  anytime when DW has outgrown the design.

Here are some of the designs that I’ve got my eye on:

Nu Dekor Space Glow – Glow in the Dark stickers! DW loves to point at the moon and say moooon and stars as tars…o eto may planets pa! And a rocket ship too!!

Nu Dekor Planes - DW loves pointing at planes and saying yep, “planes!” He even does the “eeeeng” sound too as if he’s flying haha

I attended Iblog6: The 6th Philippine blogging summit last April 16 and 17 together with my brother EJ and his wife Ginger who both run Manila Reviews and Manila Fitness. The first time I’ve heard about iblog was from Markku Seguerra of Rebel Pixel. I was actively blogging at multiply then and I’ve always wondered what it would be like to go to a summit like this.

I’ve been blogging since 2002  and my first online journal was “Babble Ramble” and it was hosted on blogdrive. I’ve been blogging on and off ever since. I even got my friends to blog in a way when I opened an online logbook (you know like the ones in org tambayans?). In 2005, my brother opened Manila Reviews but we never got around to it until last year. Good thing EJ still kept payments on the domain though! As for me, I went back to blogging at multiply as “The Girl is Gone” and my first posts where about my wedding planning. I’ve never looked back since
