My Minimalist House Part 2



A lot of people have been e-mailing me about the continuation of my house (because they saw stairs daw ) so here it is.


Note: M.O emailed me asking questions about house construction,  prices and such. I'll try and answer those questions in my next post. (Hey girl, I hear 'ya! Sorry I have been so busy lately.) 

Note 2: This is not yet the finish product. I still have a lot of things to get rid of, furniture to add, etc. I can't do it at once so it might take some time. After all, it's a process, right?


Let me begin with the view from my rooftop: 


People always gasp at the view.
I consider myself lucky!



Pano
First Door: My Room
Next: Hallway that leads downstairs, Farthest is my brother's room
Second Door: My closet
Third Door (open): Second Bathroom (first bathroom is downstairs)



The Hallway
Pretty empty, huh?
Planning to put an altar here




My Bedroom
If I have the choice, I would buy white bed sheets. I will wait until it breaks before buying new one





This is where I work.
I still write my goals and dreams!

The Blackout Curtain
It was customized. Just bought materials and let someone sew it because Blackout curtains are pretty expensive




Left: The Office Supply/ Library
Right: My Bro's room




The room beside my brother's room, which leads to the balcony
I made it into a office supply/library





Books and Office Supply
Have to go through all my books pa
Do you have any idea where to sell second hand books here in Cebu?


My brother's room.
Pretty minimal too!




My Closet
My goal is to fit all my clothes in that cabinet.
Getting there!





My Bathroom





I got rid of so much stuffs.
No more toner for me.
Goal: to finish the sunblock, perfume, lotion and petroleum jelly and switch to natural one

On Pets: Vet Cost, etc. in Philippines




Stark has some kind of weird genetic skin disease and his testicles is swollen, so I went to the vet the other day. I tagged Pepper along since it's  also in time for their shots. 

Stark was shaking so he needed some support from Mommy

The vet recommended these:

Fur Magic ( 1 liter) Php 550 ( $11)
10 Tablets of Antihistamine Php 150 ($3)
Vitality ( 1 Sack) 15 kgs Php 1,850 ($37)





Pepper is very picky when it comes to her food, so I usually have different kinds of food lying around.

Note: Vitality is mostly for Stark because his skin is very sensitive. I just hope that he won't get bored with this.

Pep: Hmmm, which one am I in the mood for ?

Total Vet Cost: Php 4,150   ($83)

Breakdown:

Skin scraping Php 150 ($3) per scrape x 2= Php 300 ($6)
Deworming Php 550 each ($11) x 2 = Php 1,100 ($22)
Anthihistamine (10 tabs) Php 150 ($3)
Fur Magic  Php 550 ($11)
1 Sack Vitality Php 1,850 ($37)
Professional Fee Php 200 ($4)



Though it's expensive, I can put up with it since they give me immense happiness, plus I'm not really digging through my savings, so I'm okay with that.

I guess my saving-for-Europe trip plan is kinda ruin this month, but that's okay. It's worth it.
