My Dream Home

I've been thinking about the dream that I would like to have for some time now. I even remember drawing house plans during my free time when I was in college. I will now continue the visualization of my dream home.

These are the latest house plans I drew up. I made them some time last year.





















Now I have an even clearer vision of what I would like the atmosphere of my dream home to be.

It is calm and serene. You hear the sound of running water from the Japanese fountain as you enter the house and at times, there's nature / relaxation / yoga / spa music playing softly in the background. There's Japanese bamboo and trees all around, and the place is zen.

You will never hear the television spewing out bad news into the living room, nor will you hear Tagalog telenovelas adding negative energy into the house with their depressing fatalistic themes of victimization and powerlessness. Only those which bring forth good feelings are present in my home.

Happy cats prance around and climb trees and sprawl out under the warm rays of the sun. And maybe a dog or two to keep the cats company. The air is nice and fresh. It feels good to be in my home.

Success Converting mp4 Video for Nokia 5800 XpressMusic

Yes! I've finally figured out how to convert videos to an mp4 video format that my Nokia 5800 XpressMusic can play! Took me long enough since I've had this phone since last year, but anyway, I had given up on it until only a few days ago so that's fine.

I've tried quite a few of the suggestions that I found online, but a lot of them either didn't work or were too complicated to figure out. Maybe I should write an article on HubPages about how I did it. Okay, I'll do that tomorrow. :)
