moved around enough to call this a home

Moving houses is sure one of the most tedious thing to do. When i was younger and living with my sister, we moved around enough to finally call a house a home. We were not rich, earning little money and living from paycheck to paycheck, life was not a stuggle, but all we can afford is renting a house.Back then, we cannot afford to pay anyone to help us move, so we got to do everything by ourselves, from packing the clothes, utensils and all other stuffs in advance. we also do tape the furniture edges so it won't get scratch. When the day comes,...

It's alright as long as we're together, a home can be anywhere. In those rough times, we learned a lot of values....

our car is finally back on the road

living luxurious, the celebrity way

who doesn't like celebrity gossips? i think one of the reason people 'worship' these idol gossips is because celebrities seems to have everything we middle class people can only dream of. their fabulous lifestyle, their overspending habits. But most of all, they spent most lavishly buying their mega mansions, sports car and such.Most if not all celebrities didn't like their privacy invaded. For that reason, they prefer to be in places such as W South Beach Condo where they have their own private beach access,a secret garden with private showers,...
