Create Your Own Home with Project First Home




Imagine building your own home from scratch - without any knowledge of it. To be honest, my parents did that and unfortunately there are a lot of things needed to be changed in our current house. 

I don't really blame my parents with what our house looked like - They didn't do their research that well so our house came out looking really different to what I had in mind. 

I don't really prefer others to get to that predicament so I suggest you get this book by John Aguilar entitled Project: First Home. 

The book is a comprehensive guidebook that teacher first time Filipino home builders how to build their dream house from the ground up. It is basically everything you need to know in building your first house from scratch. 



John  Aguilar is also the creator and executive producer of the Philippine's longest running real estate and construction TV show entitled Philippine Realty TV. The foreword of the book is written by renowned Architect Felino "Jun" Palafox Jr. who I am really honored to meet because Mr. Palafox was really nice to give us pointers in picking the right spot and also other aspects in building our dream homes. 

Going back to the book: Project: First Home takes inspiration to the first season of Philippine Realty TV where they documented the construction of John Aguilar's first house from the aspects of designing the house to its constructions all the way to the finishing touches and furnishing of the whole house. 

Some of the chapters includes how to find the perfect lot; securing a home loan; finding and hiring the design and construction team among others. 

Another special chapter in the book is dedicated to being green and disaster adaptive home designs against typhoon and flooding. 


I really find this book helpful that I actually purchased one for my mom to read. So far my mom has been reading it and learning a lot because she is planning (once again!) in re-constructing our house because she finds it stuffy now. 


But if  you want something more accessible to your phone this book is also available on and E-book version which also contains interactive tools and videos linked to Project:First Home series on Youtube and also links to important websites of government agencies, supplies, and organizations. 


“Project: First Home” is now available in all Fully Booked and Wilcon Depot branches nationwide. The Ebook is also available for download through the Buqo App.For inquiries and bulk purchases, contact Second Wind Publishing at Tel.

My addictions: My cute yet ferocious dog named John

Shocking isn't it? haha!  Let me introduce to you my dog named John. Believe it or not he had a brother named Lloyd... get it John and Lloyd. Blame my mom for their names LOL But besides from that he is one peculiar kind of dog. He has a mannerism to act adorable one minute but turn annoying after another.  He has been with us for like 5 years or longer. He is a mix of Labrador and Pitbull.  I took that photo a couple of days ago when I was in a trigger happy mode. I took pictures of my niece and my nephew, our newly renovated house and of course my pets. I was actually asking him to look at me and when he did he suddenly yawn. And that is how I had that shot.  He is actually a really nice dog, he is a bit territorial but most dogs are like that. He actually likes my Labrador Retriever named Georgia. I'll let you meet Georgia next time. ^_^ Much Love!  Alice

Product Review: iColor Hair Dye Shampoo

Hello lovelies!  Since the start of the year I told myself I will change my looks more and test things since I am not getting any younger so experimenting would definitely be on top of my list.  With that I've actually started with my hair. I have already gone blonde although that was a little hard to maintain since I remember being told to go back after a number of weeks to have my roots done but never seem to do it because  1. The salon I got it done was quite far from my place.  2. Its still expensive 3. It would damage my hair tremendously I still have qualms about getting my hair colored again professionally so I asked my mom if its much better if I color it myself - she said yes but gave me the low down on the things I have to do...remembering all those information was a toughie but I was able to get a simpler solution with it - this hair dye shampoo~  My mom discovered this actually and asked me to try it on my hair since she knows I need to cove
