Carpentry 101

My father raised me as if I was not a fine lady but a handy woman. He is the reason why I love making cabinet, hanging pictures, drilling holes etc. Last saturday, hubby promise that I could buy the plastic boxes that I want from Uratex (brand) cause the factory was just near our place. When I drove there together with the kids and the nanny they said that it was closed already. I was a bit disappointed because they usually close 5 pm. the guard said the management couldn't accomodate me anymore for the reason that there are so many clients that time. Ayy... tsk tsk. IDEA! The usual word that comes out from my sons mouth everytime he has one. I said to my kids and the nanny that we would go to Robinsons cause it's just near the area. I would just stroll and look at handyman. Maybe they have the cabinet that I want.


When we got there, a lot of cars were waiting for a parkslot. I am not used to that. Even if it means for me to walk far just to get a parkslot I would do so but that's impossible. The kids are with me! Hahaha. So I patiently waited. And there it was, a slot sent from heaven. I parked at once and woke my lil hero from his sleep. He answered in a very sleepy voice "mymy I'm sleepy" but I cut him by answering..."Ok we'll just leave you here and you wait for us cause we are going to the mall." He stood up as if he never came from slumberwonderland. Then he was jumping, skipping on his way to the entrance.
Inside the mall, I didn't knew what went into my head and I went to a different direction. There it was the furniture store. I saw the shoe cabinet. Schatzi gave me a budget of 2K and when I saw the price, I said to myself, he may not want this but it's cheaper. I bought it without thinking twice. It might be a long conversation or worst a debate but he will understand why I bought it instead of the plastic boxes he wanted.
I got the ones that's not yet assembled. So I can sneak it in while he is asleep and build it while he is in dreamland. On my way to the parkslot he called. Telling me that he forgot the key inside the house and he locked it on his way out. Hahaha. So meaning he will be waiting for me to get home and he will be seeing what I bought.
And Hell yeah! He was there waiting for us in the lobby. When he opened the door he bombarded me with lots of questions. I said to him "Let me park first!" I can feel the long conversation aka debate! He helped me while asking a lot of questions. I said "can I rest and drink water first before I answer all of your questions?" He nodded but he has to sleep first. Yes! I have time to build my cabinet. Then the debate would be easier to win with my parapernalia. He went back to sleep. And when he woke up he saw me making the cabinet. You bought a cabinet! I answered "Yes!" then continued doing it.



I was doing well but he insisted that he wouls help. So I let him help. I really want to do it all by myself but I thought maybe if I let him help he would understand why I like it. And yes he did. When I placed all his shoes inside the cabinet I told him that it was just half of his shoes that could fit in the thing. He got impressed with how the cabinet looked so he told me to buy another one the next day.



Morning arrived, we went to Fort Bonifacio for his fun run. When we got home, I told him that I'm going to get the other cabinet cause there's only one left. He allowed me only, if I'll but the one that's built already. I said yes then I went to the mall with a big smile.



It felt like I won effortless in a battle. I'm so happy I got the cabinet! Hahaha.
