We are buying a house and hopefully moving out of this rented apartment and into the repainted house within the next month or so. Because of that, we have been looking at home magazines again for ideas on color schemes and furniture.

In page 72 of the March 2010 issue of Real Living magazine published by Summit Media, there is this hot neon pink sofa I have fallen in love with.

The Togo Sofa by Ligne Roset…

Togo Sofa is another classic example of a timeless modern design that has been enjoying over 25 years of fame. Michel Ducaroy, the designer, found his way into the world of design very early on with the Togo seating collection. The sofa does look very inviting and comfortable. Would be ideal for a casual style house or a vacation home. Ligne Roset has a wide selection of fabrics and colors, and it can be constructed in multiple foam densities. Price varies based on fabric and color and ranges around $2000.

The Togo collection is becoming even more popular now as the entire world moves toward modern. Modern home architecture demands modern furniture and Togo fits right in. Lately, we get lots of questions about it, people want to know who makes it. Now you know – it’s by Ligne Roset.

An ultimate in comfort and style, the Togo sofa is your choice if you want to make a very modern statement… While modern is a given, Togo’s most distinct feature is that it’s both visually attractive and physically inviting. All made up of foam constructions and quilted covers, the collection includes sofas with and without arms, chairs, love seats, corner seats and ottomans, and even smaller, kids versions of the same. Just arrange it to fill the room.

I wonder how we will be able to afford this.. especially since there is this supposed to be a cheaper alternative here and it still costs $1,695!

My mom, wearing a fab knit hat despite the sweltering heat, came to visit yesterday. It was a present from her friend’s mom in the U.S. she said. My mom is looking good despite the absence of hair, or the presence of little ones sprouting all over her bald head, and her hat looked good on her. As I was preparing Lia for her afternoon walk, putting her shoes on and trying to tie her hair so that it doesn’t get into her eyes, my mom took out the feathered flower from her hat and clipped it onto my daughter’s hair. My daughter did not take it off.

I put her on the the pink and blue tricycle (that can be converted into a bicycle for when she is older) that she made us buy for her last Saturday in Megamall. A trike she loves so much that a few days ago, she insisted on taking her bath while she sat on it. A trike she loves so much but does not mind sharing with our dog Ewok as long as she gets to push it, just the way her Mama pushes it when she is the one sitting on it.

Yesterday, I decided it was fun if Lia and Ewok both sat on the chair – and they both loved it! I ran inside to get the Canon camera, as mine is still at the service center, but found that Ryan had brought it with him to work.  I got my mom’s digicam instead and took photos with it until it ran out of batteries after three shots.

The following photos were instead taken with my Nokia 5630.  The nice photos with Lia and Ewok both sitting on the tricycle are in my mom’s digicam.

The wind blew the feathers in her hair and she just had to wonder…
what is out there in the world yonder?

A look of love was in her eyes
Enough to melt her mother’s heart..

I love you and days like this, it seemed to say
And her mother thought, “Baby, I hope you will always look at me that way.”

Ahh, the days pass us by in the blink of an eye…

And we all try our best to hold on to pictures and memories
For in the end, we will have nothing else but stories..

After three hours of painstaking yet exciting (big smiles all the way) efforts of searching the internet for images, figuring out how to layer and basically work my way around Photoshop CS4, I finally finished Lia’s “Save The Date” card.

I was actually supposed to go to bed early, like 9:30 pm early, but I sat down one last time to look at some clipart images and I just found myself working until the entire card was done. I couldn’t have picked a better first Photoshop CS4 project on my new Macbook Pro. Hooorah! Hoorah! I feel like a pre-schooler who just finished her first hand painting project. Hoorah! Hoorah!

The card is actually already kinda late. I should be working on the actual invite. After all, the event is a month away and yet I have not done anything to prepare for it. Nothing at all yet! Dang, pressure is building up! Haha!

Now that I have this little card done, I can go to bed with a smile on my face. Aaaaah, the feeling of accomplishment, I have forgotten what that is.. until today. Big smiles all the way!

Caught in the act
