Lighting Always Does The Trick

In whatever situation, lights will always play a vital role. Lighting has long been studied and used extensively in different fields: photography, film, arts, sciences, medical instrumentation. Aside from providing light at different intensities to serve its purpose, lighting is also important in creating that ambience and feel.

Next to home furnishings, indoor lighting is of paramount importance especially if you want to create different atmospheres at different parts of your home. Of course, you wouldn't want white glaring light in your bedroom or gloomy and dim lights in your work room, right? Everything has its proper order so to speak.


Flush ceiling lights are perfect for areas requiring a good all around light because it sits completely cleanly to the ceiling. This type of lighting is recommended for bathrooms, living rooms, kitchens and offices. With so many designs to choose from in the market today, you can choose the ones that will suit your room. If you want to get more ideas on which design to choose, Searchlight Lighting offers a variety of styles and types.  

There are also spotlights, low or high ceiling lights, and even shades that you can mix and match to serve a certain function in your room. Rooms after all, are also sometimes multi-functional so you have to also plan what type of lighting will do just the trick for you.

Pab Der... So Comfy and Light

My happy feet are happier now that I discovered PabDer. PadDer is an Italian brand that has several branches in the Philippines. Unfortunately, they don't have one in Davao yet so I was able to buy my pair in Ayala Cebu. 


This cream-colored loafers are just so comfy I would walk for hours on end without complaining. They are hand-made and the material is from very soft lamb leather. I am so totally satisfied with my own pair... and because they also come in other colors, I am oh so tempted to get my own collection of PabDer shoes. But since I am not really imeldific, I think one pair will do... I know it will be years and years before I purchase another one. Because you know me.... I only buy something for myself when I really need it. :)

And just look at their logo of sheep dogs... Aren't they just cute?

The Right Time to Shop Is NOW!

I am here vacationing with my daughter in the Philippines. I miss the hubby, who is now back in cold Germany. When it gets too hot here, I would somehow wish for the cold and snowy Stuttgart, of building snowmen and going sledding, of hot chocolates and just cuddling and hugging at the living room on most lazy days. Another thing I miss: the WSV or the Winterschlussverkauf (Winter clearance sale) which is still ongoing, I think.

With most winter items gone 50-70% off the tag price, it would really be difficult to say NO and not shop! I could even shop online and ask hubby to send the items for me. :) But seriously, if you haven't done so and you are in Germany, don't miss out on the WSV! I know I wouldn't! The WSV started last January 4th and will end at the end of February. Different stores and shops, of course, have different schedules so be sure to check your local newspapers for the latest updates.
