ProFriends: Lancaster Amenities

I am here to write about the nice amenities found at Pro Friends’ Lancaster New City (formerly Lancaster Estates). I think they are great and they need to be highlighted so that businesses and owners would see the potential they have. If we want a real city, we should try to make or turn it into a city.

Lancaster Square

“Lancaster square is a 6-hectare commercial center with a transport terminal for the convenience of residents and guests. It will house Wellcome Supermarket and Health Wealth Medical Specialists as its major anchors. Moreover, it will have a shopping center, event center and restaurants. It promises to be the next shopping destination of families in the area with its numerous lifestyle stores and dining options which include the following:

Lady Christine’s Baby Back Ribs, Bofiya, Ice Cream House, Bean and Butter Cafe, Lots a Pizza, Bayad Center, The Generics Pharmacy, Petformance, Studio KYS, Artista Salon, Fit & Fab Wellness Center, Gabriel Archange Learning Center, Chapter and Pages.”

The first in Cavite, Suntech iPark is a 25-hectare information technology(IT) park that will house business process outsourcing (BPO) buildings and will offer an efficient working environment for the modern day IT professionals.”

St. Edward Integrated School

“Located right in the center of Lancaster New City, there’s no need for your children to travel far just to get an education. No more morning rush, less tress to get to school and more time spent with your family. Last Feb. 2013, another new 4-storey building (Annex) with 32 classroom units was added to give more learning spaces for the students.”

I wish I could post actual pictures of Leighton Hall in this post. I forgot to take some! I’ll just post it in the future, I guess. I hope SunTech would be done soon. If I get tired of home-based work (like that will ever happen), I could try applying for work there.

Furniture Shopping for My Room

So this is it! This is going to be the first step for me to have my dream room. If I can’t have a dream house of my own, I might as well have a dream room of my own, right? Don’t get me wrong; I’m happy to live with my mom and sister under one roof – a Lancaster New City (project of ProFriends) roof that is.

Anyway, I first thought of a concept for my room. I want it to be clean and chic green-and-silver-themed room but with a touch of femininity. But after all the planning (especially since my room is not that big), I have started to online window shop. I won’t necessarily but online though (some prices are steep!); I’ll just try to hunt them offline or find some dupes.

Okay, first of all the walls will be green that ombres upward to a matte silver color. I got the inspiration from this lamp I saw online. Then my door would be dark brown so that it would look like a huge chocolate bar.

Bedding

I’d like to have silver (not the cheap flashy/shiny kind) bed fitting/sheets and pillowcases and then I’d like my blanket and accenting pillows or throw pillows to be green. Since most of these are bought in packs or sets, I could just reverse the color usage when it’s time to change sheets. Here’s a nice green linen set I saw at Lazada. The price is steep for my budget so I’ll just have to find a dupe. We’re going to request a carpenter to make my dark brown bed frame. Just a simple square with rounder corners would do since I would place a horizontal mirror instead of a headboard on the wall. A huge mirror would make the space look a bit bigger.

Storage

I don’t want to have any plastic containers in my room. I’d like it to be classy and clean like this Ikea storage case I saw at Weemall. It’s also pricey so I might try to find a dupe. This is perfect for displaying my expensive action figures or play arts.

A simple cabinet would do for me. I wanted an armoire (pasosyal kuno) but antiques or intricately-designed furniture would surely be out of my budget. I’ll just stick to a simple but big one (from ceiling to floor length) in a matte silver color. I was thinking of having sliding doors for it to save space but double doors would be good so that I could put up hooks on the inside and hang some belts or bags. I’ll paint that hooks green! I actually wanted to have a no-door cabinet like the one in this image but dust would easily get to my stuff if there were no doors.

As for the lighting, a simple white fluorescent is already on the ceiling but for lamps, I’d like to have two wall lamps beside my mirror (headboard). I want something like or similar to this.
