Here I am with my tissue box. I have been crying and sobbing all through this day. It is not because I had some arguments with people. I also never had a bad day in fact today is my relaxation day.

To relax, I went on DVD marathon. I have been watching different movies. I have been catching up because these past days are a bit grueling in the office. I went watching several movies like my ever favorite A Walk to Remember and Titanic.

These movies are really nice. Each time I watch these movies I just cannot help but fall in love again and cry during the times that they break their hearts. My favorite part in A Walk to Remember is the wedding scene and in Titanic the scene where Jack and Rose are dancing in a ball.

One thing about these scenes, both is illuminated by really good chandeliers. The chandeliers are the main props that made the scenes really romantic and serene. With the chandeliers, the whole frame seems so perfect and elegant. I especially liked it when it highlighted Jack and Rose dancing against all the keen eyes around them. These lights really made a nice touch of togetherness and circled only to them.

I wish I could also get a chandelier and have it with me when I feel like relaxing and being romantic. The chandeliers I think are the most romantic pieces ever invented. The chandeliers create a certain ambiance that other night lights could never imitate.

I know someday my children and grand children would be watching these movies too and when that happens I wish they would also notice the importance of the chandeliers in those scenes.

As of now, I have to fix myself up. I need to look for chandeliers so I would never have to envy Jamie and Rose. I would buy this light and put it in our house. When my husband comes, he will surely feel the romantic ambiance of the chandeliers. That would not only surprise him too. I bet it would also made him love me more with my effort in trying to feed in more romance in our place of abode. By then I can also use those chandlers to have more charm on him.

Aside from trying to impress my husband with chandeliers I will also try to have those stuffs to spark a nice conversation among visiting friends and relatives. It can only be done if I will be able to get unique yet elegant kinds of these lights.

Whenever long vacations come, I really like to stay in the country side. In the country side, I could do everything I want. I can relax and break away from the stresses of work and the many tiring pollutants.

I also like to stay in the country side because I am reminded of my childhood. I had a lot of fun when I was a kid. I stay here every summer because my grand father owns a farm. I will be staying and playing all summer through at grand fathers farm. He is very accommodating. My grand mother likes to have me around too!

I would play around with the ducks, the goats, chickens, buffalos and with the kids in the farm. We would play in the barn with all the hay stock and we would come running all around.

At night, we would be sitting around the table while grandma prepares dinner. She would cook this really good soup. The table would be lighted up by the wrought iron chandeliers hanging over.

Aside from that, my grand mother also has a lot of interests. She is a really hip woman. Unlike most her age, she is much updated of the things that older ladies never really engage themselves into. She likes fashion and she designs. She loves crafts too that is why she thought of designing her own wrought iron chandeliers.

Grandma really loves her wrought iron chandeliers. These wrought iron chandeliers are custom made by a good family friend. She loves these wrought iron chandeliers so much because she designed them.

She spent so many nights designing her own wrought iron chandeliers because she wants to be unique. A family friend volunteered to fabricate the wrought iron and shape them the way she wanted. It was a really good partnership and these types of chandeliers proved to be really good.

A lot of people in the town liked the wrought iron chandeliers that my grand mother and the close family friend made. The word spread like a big movie and soon a lot are coming over to ask them to make these chandeliers for them.

Though at first grand ma never really thought of making designs for other people, she thought of giving it a shot. It proved to be a worthy part time job. Later on the wrought iron chandeliers that they make have been sold in town.

Now, the once just a hobby of my grand mother became a business being ran by the two families. Who would think my grand mother could do all those? Well it just goes on to prove that age is not a hindrance to finding another success.

In my typical home in Chicago I have two pretty typical children. Like the majority of parents we fight and wrestle and bribe to get our kids to straighten up and keep their rooms clean. Most of the time, what usually happens in my home is, I break down and wind up taking care of it myself. This happens a lot, until I got them involved in decorating their rooms. Our first project involved the walls.

Surveys show that what drives parents crazy are kids that neglect their rooms. Psychologists suggest that if children help design their surroundings they will respect them more and tend to take great care of them.

Many parents and kids are looking for that perfect back drop. More and more companies see this niche market and are keying in and creating more lines just for children’s rooms.

The origin in children’s wallpaper began around 1870 and continues today. Since their inception, the wallpaper designs have been strongly influenced by literature and pop culture. The earliest works had strong religious and moral overtones. Later in the 19th century you saw more wallpaper designs stressing the importance of good behavior. In the 20th century the wallpaper has become lighter in tone and feature more engaging content. Papers have been manufactured to illustrate favorite literature, nursery rhymes, comic strip characters and works of fiction. Some examples of these are Mother Goose, Alice in Wonderland, and Cinderella.

There are many well known artists and designers that have helped shape the wallpaper designs. Some of these famous people are Walter Crane, Beatrix Potter, Cecil Aldin and William Wegman.

Today’s wallpaper is designed to educate, stimulate and amuse. Most children’s wallpaper uses a sophisticated color palette, but possess a childlike whimsy. Most combine graphic patterns, prints, stripes, solids that are playful and friendly. They create a storybook world with happy endings. They provide a safe and inspirational dream world for kids to escape to. It culminates into a positive room concept.

When my son was just a toddler I choose a wallpaper border. This was easily changed and removed as he grew. What I did was place it at his eye level and as he grew I kept replacing it and moving it higher up on the wall.

Another one of our choices was called frames. This wallpaper allowed my son to interact with the wallpaper. It consisted of freely drawn picture frames on a plain white background. My son created his own unique designs by coloring in the frames. Who knows maybe he will become the next Michelangelo!

One of my son’s friends had Lego wallpaper in his room. This was a big hit and a must see. You could actually place and arrange the easily detachable wall covering on any surface you desire. How creative is that?

You should always choose your paper for what type of surface is being covered. Ask yourself, is the wall smooth or rough? Also some papers stain easily and can get dirty quickly. This may not be the right choice for a Child’s room. Make certain you choose wallpaper that is easy to clean and maintain.

Some papers that are available are vinyl coated paper, paper backed vinyl, fabric backed vinyl, silk, grass cloth, flocked and foils. The average price for a single roll is about sixteen dollars. But you can find them for less or more expensive.

There are thousands of themes and just to name a few there are animals, floral, sports, nursery characters, sesame street characters and lovable critters. Remember the main objective is to fit your Child’s personality and interests. This will inspire your child’s imagination and instill the respect in he or she that the parents desire.

After choosing the wallpapers, please take special attention in preparing the walls. There is nothing more important. Wallpapers and borders do best with a primer and a smooth finish on the walls. This helps the installation and makes it easier to remove at a later date.

Take a moment and relive the time when the world was an abundance of curious adventures that awaited you. You have the power and incentive to turn your child’s room into a creation of magic. Start your search today so you can find the peace that you are after.

I just cannot believe that my daughter is finally moving out of the house. I still remember that when I first saw her, she was so little and very helpless. She would rely solely on me to feed her, change her diapers, rock her gently when she cries, and sing her a lullaby when she is sleepy. She was so tiny then. She would be our ultimate source of joy.

When she grew a little she would be dancing, running, playing around like there is no tomorrow. She would be climbing our bed and ask us to get up when the sun shines outside so we can take her for a walk. She also likes it when we bring her to the mall and she would be buzzing us to get her toys. She was a sweet angel who would come rushing on us when we get home from work. But then yeah, that was years ago.

Now, she is moving out to study arts in a college. She would have to be on her own because she is already a grown up. She would be out there with a new life of her own. Well, she will live there in a dormitory so it would be easier for her to get to school and work.

Yesterday, she was very busy packing things on her bag. She will bring almost everything that is in her closet. The bags are very full. She also shopped for some contemporary chandeliers. She said she would rather have these contemporary chandeliers because they give her a cozy feel of the room. She is into arts and she likes to try new things out.

I am a very traditional person and I do not think chandeliers could look so weird or what not. The contemporary chandeliers she brought were very radical in a great sense. Some looked like they were out in space, very artistic and radical. My, if my mother saw all these types of chandeliers, she would have a heart attack! These chandeliers were really something out of the traditional.

Maybe this is the primary reason why my daughter just loves them. She was so engrossed she bought five pieces of contemporary chandeliers which she will be placing in her room in the dormitory. She is such a fan!

Well, I think contemporary chandeliers are not as non conformist as I thought of them. I think they still serve the purpose of giving ambient lighting for dark rooms and empty spaces. Maybe these chandeliers just go on to prove that everything is ever changing and the only constant thing in life is change.

I was wrong to think my daughter would bring all the contemporary chandeliers she bought to the dormitory where she will be living for the next four years, she will leave the three pieces and put them to her room, to the attic and to the parlor, her favorite places in the house. She said they will leave these for us not to miss her at all.

I am here, sitting in our couch. I am just glad there is not much work to do. It had been quite a stressful week in school. I really had a hard time dealing with my professors. They were all so demanding. Would you believe I never had slept the past days?

My dear teachers and instructors are cramming because the exam week will be due soon. What they wanted to do is to discuss matters and have the lessons in an n extremely fast pace. Just the other day I went to school with no sleep at all. My eyes are blackening and my eye bags are growing more and more.

Seems that was not yet enough, our Science professor assigned a project, an impossible to pass project at that. Would you be able to run your electric motor for two straight hours using your 2 V batteries? Definitely not! It was impossible I tell you! It must be his happiness to see students failing. You know, he likes it when his students fail because his subject, Physics, is very difficult to pass because of his impossible demands. He would laugh his heart out and act like he has emerged victorious. He likes it when his evil plans are happening. And the poor little students, afraid of failing would be begging him for another chance.

Well, I am just glad that the week is finally over. And finally I could begin reading Nicholas Sparks novel A Walk To Remember. I have always wanted to read this novel but since school had been pressing me to push my patience further I have to forget about reading this book.

So I lie here in the couch reading through every line. I am trying to understand how every event leads to the tragic but still happy ending. I was so engrossed by the novel I have not noticed it is starting to get dark. I realized it is almost night time. I folded one page and turned on the chandelier just hanging above the couch. I really love this chandelier because the light it gives off is not annoying. With the fluorescent and light bulbs, I get so annoyed by the light. It kind of irks me at times because the light seems to reflect in the book pages especially the glossy ones making it hard to read.

The chandelier however, just seems to get the place a little more conducive for reading. You do not have to be irritated by the very bright light because the chandelier would give you that shady light something like that of the sun during sun rise or sunset.

I was glad mom brought the chandelier and got rid of those fluorescent lamps because reading had been so easy. In fact the chandelier gives you that romantic feeling. I do not know. Maybe there is something about the light that the chandelier gives that seems to get you more in love and romantic. Maybe the chandeliers light creates a more nostalgic ambiance which is very sweeping when you read romantic stuff.
