Hello everyone. It was a busy day today when we went at the newly opened home depot of Butuan which is the Triumph Home Depot. It is located in Baan, km 3 of Butuan. It is exciting to be in a newly opened store because there are new items that cannot be seen by the other stores, as well as the brands and prices.
We were surprised that their split type of aircon with 1.5 horse power just costs 15,000 pesos plus 5,000 pesos for the installation. Our split type inverter at home with 1.5 hp costs 30,000 pesos with another 8,000 for home installation. It depends on the brand and the brand they displayed is new to my ear. Their window type of AC costs 4-6000 pesos. I bought a Fujidenzo window type AC before with 0.5 horsepower. It costs 15,000 pesos.
My baby girl wanted to open the mirror sliding door out of curiosity. We were my neighbour's chaperone actually because she needed my help to design her house and what kind of doors, tiles that are perfect for her interiors. She wanted to have a mirror door on her comfort room, but the ending was, she chose an aluminum door because she doesn't wanna be seen while on the shower.
My baby loved to stay in their modelled kitchen. Our neighbour loves their modelled kitchen. She got an idea what to do to her counter top tiles and walling. She loves a combination of black, white and brown. Her son chooses the black counter top and wall to achieve a modern look, but she doesn't like that everything is dark. She bought the brown wall at the back. Some people these days love to put it on their walls and it's a trend.
This is the sink the my neighbour bought. It costs 8,500 pesos because it many features, plus the wooden chopping board package. If you watch the Philippine reality show, Pinoy Big Brother,you can see this kind of sink. It has also a drainer package for vegetables. You can never go wrong when you buy this sink even if it's pricey. However, it's scary when their is not plenty of water because it is like a Smart sink.
This is the sink that we used at home. It costs 4,500 when we bought it three years ago at the Citi Hardware, but it's only 3,850 in this new depot. I like it because it has a double sink and drainer at the left side. But when my neighbour chose the savvy sink at the top, my mother is planning to buy that kind or of sink again when our house will be repaired this coming April.
We love granite or marble for the counter top. It is costly but durable. We can even sharp the knives on both. We always choose it because it is also neat looking. My neighbour was asking what color to pick. Of course, her preferences are just black and white for her bar and kitchen counter, but she is confused because she also loved brown and grayish. Personally, I liked the creamy white with combined brown and black color marble that costs 4,899, but she wants something new because their old kitchen top was using it. The black is costly but for sure, the quality is 4x better than the 4,899.
So, here we were. We looked for a porcelain, white and glossy tiles for her flooring. There was a tile she liked, but it was ceramic. We like porcelain better because it absorbs water and stronger than ceramic. Their place is not a flood prone area, but when the time comes that every surrounding is full of buuldings, the water will easily elevate for sure like the places in big cities. For the living room, I like a woodenlike tile like the houses in the U.S.A because it looks warm and cozy, but she likes white so, she bought the white porcelain tiles. She also chose a gray rough tiles for her comfort room. Gray is also a modern style like what we see in the hotels.
For the comfort room's walling, she chose the floral tiny tiles. She loves a stylish wall that we cannot commonly see on other CRs. In the house, we just use the milky tiles which is simple and cheap, but the cr looks neat because I clean it three times a week. No matter how cheap it can be, as long as we keep the environment neat is still stunning looking. However, if it's still expensive and clean is even prettier and more elegant.
While we were being hooked of what tiles to choose for designing her house, my baby was enjoying running to and fro because their place is spacious and wide. She loved to play hide and seek with me even though I was busy to talk with the salesmen. A few seconds later that I didn't turn my eyes on her, she was suddenly gone that worried me a lot because there are some bad strangers in this era. I looked for her until I met her with the employees. They said that she looked for me and cried. However, they said that the kids are safe in their store because the securities will not allow them to go out without the grown ups. I was guilty for not focusing on her instead of talking to the friends even if that store was safe.
After that worrisome episode of my toddler, we paid the tiles we chose. My baby disliked to go back home as she enjoyed being in a widest spaces, but I redirected her attention to eat in Jollibee. She loves to be in a fast food chain even though she only eats French fries. How about you, what did you do today? I hope it goes well.
