Freshly baked pizza, anyone?

Homebaked Brownies
Jan 2nd 2009greenbucksFood Friday & Money Watch & Photos & Visualizations
True to my plan to spend frugal Christmas, I was able to bake several batches of brownies to give away to relatives and for my children to munch on.I found these easier to bake than the cookies I planned to do first.
I was even able to bake some butter loaves to give to the children who come a-knocking on the gates on Christmas day for some “aginaldo”. We were even able to give to those plying the streets when we went to hubby’s aunt’s for lunch on the 25th.
Anyway, here are some of the brownies I baked in a photo taken on Christmas eve:
Here’s wishing you all a bountiful 2009 filled with joy, peace and love 🙂

How Much Does a New House Cost?
Dec 31st 2008greenbucksFor Information & Money Watch & Philippines & Photos & travel
We saw a humongous house beside my parents’ house being built. It sits on two properties one of which was a former rice mill.
My mother said it was worth PhP50,000,000! I can’t believe its that expensive!Just last week, a client of my BIL who is an interior designer gave him a nod to look for a beachfront property/place to build a resort with that price.
Much as I wanted to, I was not able to take a decent photo of the house because we were in transit and because the fences were high.
Imagine that, in dollars that would be worth more than $1,000,000!
The hubby and I were discussing what kind of construction materials were used in that house to have it worth that much.
The interiors would be so lavish I guess, with branded materials that mean quality like Kohler sinks or fixtures from other countries. Like what? Italian ceramic tiles or maybe granite and marble from New England?
One thing for sure though, I want to see how it is in the inside once its finished.
As if I can go inside the house 😀
