Get Fascinated to Recycled Container Van Turned into Little Dream House

Hindi naman maikakaila na lahat tayo ay nangangarap ng ating sariling dream house. Ang bahay na kung saan komportable tayong gumalaw, maganda sa paningin, maaliwalas at kung minsan kakaiba sa ating mga nakikita.

Kaya naman kamakailan lamang isang lalaki ang nagpost ng kanyang little dream house ngunit ito ay kakaiba dahil gawa ito sa recycled container van. Sa nasabing loob ng container van makikita talaga ang malaking pagbabago nito. Maliit man maituturing pero tiyak na mapapahanga ka dahil kakaibang pagkaka desenyo at mga materyales na ginamit dito.

Agad na nagviral ang post na ito Amiel Colesio, kung saan sinasabi nya dito na nakahiligan nya talaga ang maliliit na bahay na madalas na napapanood nya sa YouTube at kung minsan nakikita nya ito sa FB. Dagdag pa nya isa sya nangangarap magkaroon nito tulad ng ibang tao na nakita na din ng ganitong uri ng bahay.

Ayon pa sa kanya talagang nagtipid pa sya para lamang mabili ang mga kakailanganing materyales nito, at syempre hindi nya rin maikakaila na kung hindi dahil sa pagpipilit nya sa kanyang ama wala sana sya ng ganitong bahay.

Heto ang kanyang pahayag sa nasabing FB post;
Tiny House

I’ve been addicted to tiny houses na napapanuod ko sa youtube at nakikita ko sa fb. Hehe. Siguro nakakita na rin kayo at nangarap na magkaroon nun. Isa na ako dun! Medyo di lang ako kumain ng onti para makaipon pang bili ng mga materyales pero syempre di ko rin ‘to makukumpleto kung di ko pinilit tatay ko. Haha. “ipaparenta ko kasi, pa”

Kung titingnan mo nga naman hindi mo aakalain na magmumukhang elegante ang dating ng lumang container van na ito. Ang ilang materyales ay hango lamang sa mga normal na kagamitan na makikita sa kapaligiran. Sa ngayon ang nasabing post ay may 9K shares ganun din ang reaksyon nito at may mahigit na apat na libong komento ito.

Halos komento ng ilang netizen ay patungkol sa pagkabilib, paghanga dito at ang iba naman sinasabi pang nakapagbigay daw sa kanila ito ng inspirasyon. Ngunit may mga iilan din na hindi nagustuhan at nakulangan sa nasabing munting bahay.

Mga Artistang Sikat na Hindi Lumaki sa kanilang Biological Family

Unknown to many, some of the celebrities grew up in their adoptive families.

Angelica Panganiban

Angelica used to wonder why she looks different from her parents and siblings. The actress already had a hunch back then that she was adopted but was only able to confirm it in 2010. Nevertheless, she never felt unloved, especially by her adoptive mother. She said that she never wondered how to be loved a mother because her adoptive mother loved her more than her self.

When the actress found out that she was adopted, her Mommy Melanie showed the photos and details that she wanted to know. She didn’t want to look for her biological parents but after learning that her biological mom passed away, she tried looking for her father. Shortly after, she found her real father, Mark Charlson.

Jennylyn Mercado

The singer-actress was abandoned by her biological parents at the very young age of 6 months. Jennylyn was then raised by her Mommy Lydia. Her adoptive mother is a distant relative of her biological mom.

She has reconnected with Noli Pineda and Jinkee, her biological parents.

Lotlot de Leon

Everyone knows that she’s the adopted daughter of showbiz superstars, Nora Aunor and Christopher de Leon. Even at an early age, Lotlot knew that she was just adopted because people would usually refer to her as Nora’s “ampon”. She was adopted through Nora’s mother. Her biological parents are Eva Rodriguez and Donald Olson.

Angeline Quinto

The singer was brought up by her aunt after she was given up for adoption because her mother’s relationship with her father became abusive. Her adoptive mom, Mama Bob, convinced her biological mom to give Angeline to her and she will raise her like her own.

Her biological parents are Pop Quiros and Rosemarie Mabao.

Dra. Vicki Belo

The famous dermatologist of celebrities grew up being teased as ugly and fat so she was given up for adoption by her biological parents. Instead of being discouraged, she used this as her goal to put up a beauty clinic and dermatology enterprise.

She was adopted by the sister of her biological mother, Nena Gonzales and her husband, Enrique Belo. Her biological parents are Augusto Cancio and Victoria Gonzales. She is the niece of Ninoy Aquino because her father is a cousin of the late statesman.

Ai-Ai delas Alas

The biological parents of Ai-Ai gave her up for adoption following their separation and too much poverty. She knew all along that she was adopted by her Aunt who never got married.

Her biological parents, Rosendo delas Alas and Gregoria Hernandez, are both deceased now.

Mark Herras

Mark was five years old when his father abandoned him and his mother. He had gay foster parents, Herminigildo Santos and Jun Herras, whom he’s proud of. Sadly though, both of them have already passed away. His biological mom had passed away too.

Look: Filipino Inventor Converts Plastic waste Into Fuel

Isang Filipino inventor mula sa Bacolod na si Jayme Navarro, ay nagpahayag na may paraan upang mapakinabangan ang plastik at gawin itong gasolina; kerosene, diesel, at gasolina. Natuklasan niya ito habang sinusubukan niyang ibalik ang basurang plastik sa orihinal na hitsura nito. Ang tawag sa prosesong ginagawa dito ay Pyrolysis, ito ang thermal breakdown ng mga materyales kapag sumailalim sa isang mataas na temperatura sa isang static na kapaligiran. Tulad nito, magkakaroon ng pagbabago sa komposisyon ng mga kemikal. Sa kanyang pag-eksperimento at obserbasyon, naghiwalay ang mga basurang plastik sa maliit na piraso pagkatapos ay inilagay ito sa isang thermal chamber. Sa paraang ito, natunaw ang plastik na gumawa ng mga singaw na kung saan ay ipapasa sa mga tubo ng paglamig.

Dagdag pa nito ang likido mula sa natunaw na plastik ay katulad ng gasolina bagaman mayroon itong mas kaunting nilalaman ng asupre na ginagawang mas malinis. Sa ganitong pagkakataon makakamura ng proseso ng paggawa, ang gasolina na gagawin ay magiging mas mura ng halos 10 hanggang 20%. Ang Poly-green Technology and Resources, ang kumpanya ng Navarro na nakabase sa Payatas ay gumagawa ng halos 1.6k litro ng gasolina na nagmumula sa recycled na plastic araw-araw na halos 2 metriko tonelada.

Ang ganitong proseso ay matagal ng natuklasan at halos higit sa sampung taon na ito. Ang tinukoy ni Navarro sa pagtuklas na ito kasama ang Philippine Intellectual Property Office. Sa kanyang pananaliksik, sya ay ginawaran sa kategoryang Natitirang Creative Research noong 2008 ng DOST (Kagawaran ng Agham at Teknolohiya).

Ang imbentor na si Mr. Navarro ay nagpaplano na itayo ang pasilidad sa lalawigan ng Rizal at iba pang kalapit na lalawigan nito. Kung ang imbensyon na ito ay maganda bakit hindi ito bigyan pansin at pagkakataon. marahil, ang trabaho ni Mr. Navarro ay dapat bigyan ng pagkakataon. Hindi lamang ito makakatipid sa ating pang araw-araw kung hindi makakatulong din ito sa ating kapaligiran.

Babae Kulong ng 12 Taon sa Dahil sa Panglilikbak sa Facebook

Babae Kulong ng 12 Taon sa Dahil sa Panglilikbak sa Facebook

Noon pa man, ang pagkalat ng tsismis ay pangkaraniwan lalo na sa isang magkakapit-bahay. Dahil dito, ang tsismis ay naging pangunahing ugat at dahilan ng pag-aaway ng mga magkakapit-bahay at maging ng mga kaibigan. Ito ay dapat na magsilbing isang mahigpit na babala sa mga taong gustong magkalat ng tsismis, iwasan ang gawaing ito o di kaya makukulong ka sa loob ng 12 taon.

Ayon sa batas ng Article 364 ng Revised Penal Code o tinatawag ding Intriguing Against Honor, ang isang nagkakalat ng tsismis o maling impormasyon ay maaaring mag-multa na higit kumulang P50,000 at dagdag pa dyan ang 6 na taong pagkakakulong. Ganyan ang maaaring maging kaparusahan ng isang napatunayang nagkasala.

Ayon kay Senador Loren Legarda, ang may-akda ng panukalang batas, ang dating parusa ay P200 at 30 araw na pagkabilanggo. Ngunit sa bagong batas na ito ay sumasaklaw sa sinumang tao nagpakalat ng intriga na may layunin sirain ang reputasyon ng ibang tao. Kasama na rin sa batas na ito ang mas mataas na parusa at pagkabilanggo sa mga nahuli at mapatunayang lalabag dito.

imahe mula sa Bantayan Police Station / Facebook

Nais ni Legarda na itaas ang parusa ng “incriminatory machination” mula sa nakaraang 6 araw hanggang 6 na buwan na pagkabilanggo o sa 6 na buwan hanggang 12 taon sa bilangguan. Ang kasalukuyang parusa na nakasaad sa batas para sa mga taong nahuli na lalabag dito ay hindi sapat para sa pinsala sa kanilang biktima. Samakatuwid napakahalaga na ituloy ang isang matinding parusa sa mga taong napag-alaman na nagkakasala.

Get Amaze in Derek Ramsay’s Enchanting Palawan Glass House

Palawan is like heaven on earth. If you want to go away from the busy and noisy life in the Metro even for a while, this is the perfect place. It’s like getting lost in paradise and hoping to never find the way to go back to the normal life. There’s something in this place that will give you a feeling of calm and peace. Seeing the rich greeneries and crystal clear water will make you feel one with nature.

It’s no wonder that Derek Ramsay and family chose this place to nestle their glasshouse. The family has fallen in love with Palawan that they have two islands here and have built a beach house too. The enchanting glasshouse of the Ramsay family is located in the town of San Vicente and built in 2013. It was what you can call as a family project. Derek’s dad was the one in-charge with the structural design while Derek, together with his Mommy Meldy worked in polishing the house’s interiors. It’s a glass beach house and a perfect getaway where the family and guests can take a good view of the island paradise. It’s furnished with pieces from well-known designers.

Facade

 

Looking at the house from afar, you will see that it’s very spacious and airy. Derek said that yes, they could have made a concrete house instead but why do so when it’s already what they have in Manila. Besides, one of the main reasons for building the house is to get away from Manila feel so this beach glass house came to mind. They want it to be homey with a feel of the beach.

 

Since Derek’s dad was the one in-charge with the structural design of the house, he didn’t use the sliding glass door which is quite common. Instead, he invested in steel doors with tempered glass. This can be folded and imported from Australia. The mother and son tandem, on the other hand, took charge in choosing the furniture and art pieces in the house. The outdoor area has umbrella accents from Bali. Derek and his mom collaborated on the overall interior design of the house. They wanted it to have that Asian feel but with a beach twist.

This extraordinary beautiful house has six bedrooms.

Living Room

 

Once inside the living room, you will feel the Asian vibe. The sofa is placed where it can have a view of the beach. This sofa is an investment itself, coming from an Italian brand. The lamp is by Kenneth Cobonpue of the Limbo Acrobat. The lamp is an eye-catching piece and so is the wooden seating piece designed by Derek’s mom. The set of convex mirrors above the seating piece was designed by Ito Kish. Another Ito Kish creation in the house is the black Georgia chair. The Tibet temple drums add to the Asian feel of the house. Derek bought the drums from an antique shop in Bacolod.

 

Paintings and other designer pieces complete this spectacular house. There’s a Dear Bella painting by Mayi Penaflorida hanging on one wall. Beneath it is a Basilisa lounge by Ito Kish. Guests will surely love to spend a few moments on this spot. A charming console stands proud in one corner. Displayed above it are the other works of Mayi Penaflorida.

Dining & Kitchen Area

 

The pieces of furniture in the dining area are obviously well-thought-of by Derek’s mom. The dining chairs were bought from Cebu and the backrest showcased the 8 kinds of shells that can be found on the shores of Palawan.

 

Derek says he loves a nice kitchen and it’s obvious in the kitchen area that he invested in it. The Varenna kitchen system was from Poliform. It was a challenge bringing it to Palawan in one piece. The chiller that holds different bottles of wine stands in one corner of the kitchen. Another corner of the kitchen holds different kinds of alcoholic drinks, glasses, and teacups. The kitchen isn’t fully finished according to Derek.

Derek’s Bedroom

 

His bedroom is loaded with several pieces made by Kenneth Cobonpue and Ito Kish; two of his favorite designers. The Yin and Yang bed is the star of the room.

The Little People hanging lamp & entertainment console is by Cobonpue while the Concesa cabinet is by Ito Kish. These blend well with the artworks on his wall.

 

His bathroom is simple with artworks that are dominated by red color. The tiles are similar to the ones you’ll see in resorts. There’s a shower enclosure and it’s very clear that the owners added many interesting accessories and artworks to make it stand out.

Master Bedroom

 

Although the bed isn’t complete yet, it is already stunning. Mommy Mely said that she has yet to add a rug. The four-poster bed from Bali adds a whimsical feel to the room. Adding a cohesive look to the room is the striped sofa and the chandelier. These pieces add a modern touch to the room.

Sister’s Bedroom

 

 

This room has a country vibe as it is surrounded by lively green and yellow color. This is the room of the youngest sister of Derek, Natala. It has an elegant chandelier and a fascinating bed. The view outdoors adds to the coziness of the room.

There’s a small vanity corner which incorporates the final appearance of the room. A pale green storage ottoman was added instead of putting a big chair.  All image credited to Ocs Alvarez/ACME Visual Productions.

Vic Sotto and Pauleen Luna’s Contemporary Home in Laguna

Celebrities Vic Sotto and Pauleen Luna’s contemporary home in Laguna was constructed at the time they were also planning and preparing for their wedding. Pauleen was given total control over the house’s construction and she took that seriously. Pauleen made sure that every part of the house was her personal choice that she would even go to warehouse stores to personally pick materials. It wasn’t easy but she’s more than happy with how their dream home turned out. She added that being a home builder isn’t an easy job.

Architects and professional designers helped her in slowly building their house and after one year and a half, it was finally done. The couple didn’t rush the construction because they’re aware that it might not come up as planned. You will notice while looking at the pictures that the house doesn’t have a particular design or style but rather, it is a combination of tropical, modern, and Asian highlights. It has a notable art collection and one thing you’ll notice is the natural light that streams from the window. Vic may have given his wife the full control in the construction of the house but he was firm on one thing; there should be paintings and plants in each area. He also wants it to be clean and cozy.

Located in a posh village in Laguna, the house is a standout and passersby will most likely take a look upon seeing it. It has no gate and the tall plants outside give more highlight to the structure.

Foyer

Once you enter the house, you will be in awe with the high ceiling; making it look bigger and airy. Natural lights stream in from the huge windows. It appears very clean and clutter-free as what Vic had wanted. He said that in his former house in Alabang, it’s a bit disorganized and there were a lot of things because he’s a hoarder.

The wall in the foyer is filled with paintings from Arturo Luz. It’s a tribute for the National Artist for Visual Arts. Bossing Vic owns thirty paintings made by the artist and some of them are considered rare pieces.

Living Area

Their architects told them that they shouldn’t go for a solid modern theme because it will make the house look stiff. They instead settled for a contemporary theme with a combination of other influences making them achieve a homey feel.

The living room is meant for watching TV and relaxing. There’s a huge chocolate leather couch. It can pass as a bed and one can even take a relaxing nap here.

The wall in the living area is enhanced with a painting by Atanacio Peferanda Austria. Pauleen doesn’t want a dark home so there’s a stainless steel floor lamp by Super Archimoon in one corner; giving light to the living room aside from the natural light coming from the windows.  There’s a Geo coffee table by Vito Selma, a furniture designer.

The entertainment console holds the awards of the couple aside from the TV. Bought from Urban Italia, this console conceals the TV when the owners are not using it because it has a sliding door.

Dining Area

There are 3 sets of sliding glass doors in the dining area which makes it accessible from any part of the house. It has a minimal décor and a beautiful lighting piece bought from Keystone.

The dining table is made from Narra and customized by a local furniture manufacturer. It is made up of 3 small tables that were combined to create a big table. The classy dining chairs come from Crate & Barrel.

For the dining area, only the works of Paulina Sotto are displayed. Paulina, Vic’s daughter, is an upcoming artist. She happens to be the granddaughter of Arturo Luz.

Kitchen

The kitchen is very spacious and neat. It has lots of drawers, a cabinet, and a kitchen island. The sliding glass doors will lead you to the lanai and foyer. There’s a 6-seater dining table in the kitchen and the owners enjoy having their breakfast here while watching TV.

Top of the line appliances can be seen in the kitchen. Pauleen says she cooks when time allows it but they have a cook who prepares the meal whenever she’s not available. The mahogany finish of the drawers and cabinets complements the color palette of the kitchen.

Bathroom

There’s a big bathroom on the ground floor. It has a tufted bench and a painting by Paulina Sotto. Scented candles give a relaxing feel to the bathroom.

There’s another spacious bathroom on the 2nd floor. It has a wide counter and shower area. It looks like the ones you’ll see in hotel suites.

Staircase

The staircase serves as a divider on the second floor. The magnificent effect of the windows can be seen on the landing. The left side of the staircase is the master bedroom while on the right side are the 3 other rooms. Religious icons are placed near the sliding glass doors that lead to the house’s veranda.

Bedrooms

There are extra bedrooms in the house and they’re meant for the couple’s future children. For the meantime, friends who visit the couple can stay at the extra rooms. Each bedroom has a welcoming bed, side table, and its own bathroom. They also come with a relaxing view.

Look: Get Amaze with this Total Makeover of this Small House

Grace Lucas had lived in a tiny house located in Villamor Airbase all her life. To date, she shares the house with her family; husband Miguel and their 3 kids. It became very small for them as their family grew so they agreed to extend the house. Unfortunately, the extension didn’t push through because their house was destroyed when a Sampaloc tree fell during the height of typhoon Milenyo. The family got disappointed with this disaster because they have to stop the renovation but Gwyn Guanzon, a decorator, came to help their plight.

To ensure a structurally secure property, Gwyn built a ceiling and stabilized the scaffold of the wall. The house originally had a bamboo covered window but Gwyn replaced it instead with bamboo slats so that natural air and light can still stream into the house.

He had it painted with different colors to make it look livelier. The living room was filled with the colors lilac, white, blue, gray, and pink to make it the room more vivacious. White walls also help in making a small area look bigger.

The old dining set of the family was replaced with dining set from Crossings Home. He also wanted to move the staircase but since the walls of the bedroom was uneven; it remained on the same spot.

The wall of the small kitchen was painted with white to make it look more open. There are white brick backsplash and white tiles on the countertop.

There was a total makeover on the bathroom which doesn’t even have a faucet and was just cement-finished. It looks much better now with the white tiles and a shower set.

Looking at the transformation of this house would make you realize that it doesn’t really need expensive materials and extravagant design to make a house look much better.

You just have to know what color and designs are needed to maximize even the smallest house.

Manilyn and Aljon ang Love Team na Nauwi sa Totohanan ang Pagmamahalan

You would often hear that a relationship between showbiz couples won’t last a lifetime; that after a project, the relationship will come to an end. In a way, there is quite a truth to that because they get to work with a lot of people and the temptation can be strong. There’s always that chance of falling in love with the next partner more so if they are making a romantic movie. This notion was however disproved by real and reel life couple, Manilyn Reynes and Aljon Jimenez. They have somewhat proved that there is forever in showbiz relationships.

The “Star of the New Decade”, Manilyn Reynes, often shares pictures of her and her husband on her Instagram. She shares old and new pictures and always has a story to tell about each picture. The fans of the couple get excited every time the former singer-actress does this. They love the happy-ever-after love story of their idols. The love story of the couple inspires and makes them believe that there is a chance of finding forever.

Manilyn says that they are born for each other. On one post, the former star shared that there was one time that she kidded her husband saying that he’s stuck with her and he has no other choice.

The husband turned serious and replied that he really has no other choice because he made the right choice. On one picture that Manilyn posted, she recalled that it was taken in San Francisco twenty-eight years ago.

The relationship was just starting and they were holding hands. She said that until now, they still hold hands no matter where they are. The feelings they have for each other are still the same. It’s nice to see and know that despite being in this chaotic world, there are still relationships that can stand strong and last a lifetime.

Mga Tulong at Benepisyo na Maaaring Maibigay ng PCSO

Many families in the Philippines could hardly provide food on the table, how much more if someone in their family gets sick? Good thing there’s a government agency, the PCSO (Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office), who’s willing to help the poor people of the country for their medical needs. PCSO has different kinds of games where they get the amount they allocate for the Filipinos who don’t have enough money for their medical needs. The agency gives different types of assistance provided that they meet the requirements.

PCSO Medical Assistance

For those who don’t have enough money to buy medicines or medical treatment for an illness, the PCSO will provide monetary assistance. They just have to submit a letter of request signed by the sick person or from a family member addressed to the General Manager or Chairman of the PCSO. The original or certified true copy of the medical abstract signed by the attending physician and containing the license number must be attached to the letter. A prescription that is duly signed by the doctor and the ID of the person seeking assistance must also be brought when going to the PCSO office to seek medical assistance.

Hospital Bill

If there’s no enough money to pay for the hospital bill, the PCSO will also assist. A letter of request addressed to the General Manager or Chairman, original and certified true copy of the medical abstract signed by the doctor must be submitted to PCSO office. The statement of account or bill that’s certified by the credit supervisor or billing officer of the hospital should also be submitted together with the endorsement letter from the collection office or social service of the hospital.

The agency also gives aid for different medical devices and implants for patients. If a patient needs a wheelchair or prosthetics, they just have to submit an original or certified true copy of the medical abstract or a medical certificate that has the attending physician’s signature with his license number.

If the request is for a wheelchair, the doctor must write the specifications and the patient must present the price from two different companies. A whole-body picture of the patient should also be submitted. For hearing aids, the patient should submit a letter of request addressed to the General Manager or Chairman of PCSO. The original copy of the audiological evaluation report duly signed by the audiometrist must also be attached together with prices from two different hearing aid centers, and photocopy of the ID of the requestor.

As of today, the General Manager of PCSO is Alexander Balutan and the Chairman is Anselmo Simeon Pinili.
