why buy metal buildings
I liked to visit weekend flea markets when I was living in Perth, Western Australia. Every Sunday, I will visit the fruit and vegetable markets nearby my house and my guardian will be bringing me around for grocery shopping. I noticed that metal buildings were very common in the flea markets and often wondered why. Later on, I discovered that they were the best structures to keep those destroying termites away and they were the best to withstand strong winds, hail and hurricanes. Then I began to understand why were metal roofing so popular in the old days. Read more
trends and styles as fall arrives
There is a mysterious traveler who sits, wearing the world she’s seen. Her view is a bit broader, her stare more intense. She understands the beauty of being a stranger among locals, and her style reflects it.
“This is a very sexy, moody vibe,” says shopbop.com style director Morgan, and thanks to dramatic prints by Mara Hoffman, Tibi, and Nieves Lavi, the look can be yours.
The season is coming where dark colours are spotted as days grow shorter and temperatures colder in the Northern hemisphere. What’s in for the trends as falls arrives? How about these exotic prints that reminds us of the sun that shines on lands south of the equator.

all about my fave: the Mercedes A Class
It’s hard not to get men to stop talking about cars and technology when they get together. They like to discuss about what’s new and cool in the automotive scene and when a new car is launched, they will even schedule a test drive together. Well, we women talk just about anything else, from the closeout sale at the jewelry store to the latest trends in clothing, apparel, shoes and bags. I like luxurious cars too and can’t wait to buy an A Class Mercedes one day. DH makes it clear that we can only buy used cars and not brand new ones, especially for luxurious cars. He always tells me about the high depreciation of brand new luxurious cars. For me, brand new cars are nice but if I have to settle for a used car, it mustn’t be more than three years old. Read more
