I've been living independently for several years now. I moved to my current apartment last 2009 with friends from work. There were originally four of us and at present there's just me and my uncle. One of my housemates moved to Singapore and the other one moved to Pasig which is nearer her new job.
My apartment now has the basic necessities to say the least. There's a medium-sized fridge, a 6-seater dining table, two rooms and a 5-year old stinky sofa bed. Haha! I kid you not. I think it still exists now because I religiously shower it with linen spray. Yes, without the linen spray I could not even imagine how it would smell like. I don't want to throw it away as well because without it then we will all be sitting on the floor. So yeah, it's one of the main reasons why I am ashamed to invite people at home although I love entertaining a lot. When a few of my friends surprised me on one of my birthdays, I didn't have a choice but to welcome them in and have everyone sit themselves on the sofa, the floor and the plastic chairs that adorn my almost bare apartment.

I've also been in a phase in my life where furnishing my apartment is not my main priority because I have been too busy at work and staying at home was not the norm anymore. Such that I could not entertain comfortably at home, I would rather meet friends outside to save myself from embarrassment. Lately though I have been fervently hoping that I will be able to find the perfect living room sofa for the longest time. I have been frequenting furniture displays in malls and showrooms. There are a myriad of choices out there but I have never seen the one that I think would deserve to replace the memories shared and collected by the 5-year old stinky sofa at home. You get the idea? I want a new one that would be worth the 5-year memories before I say goodbye to it and just let go.
Now that I am about to enter a new phase in my life, I'm getting married this October, I wish to furnish my space with decent furniture. I would love to add a comfortable seating space for me, my future husband and our future visitors. I think that would be awesome. With my sofa search, I had my eyes set on Mandaue Foam's Erica 32, a fully upholstered sofa with metal and tapered mahogany legs. I think it would look perfect in my living room. I think it would be the best gift that I could give my future husband when he enters my apartment that will be our future apartment to start our lives together. Oh, did I mention he is a couch potato? Hehehe! I'm sure he will have a wonderful time lounging in it. Indeed, my living room needs some Mandaue Foam. It needs a reassuring space of comfort. A place to lounge at the end of the day. A place to cuddle while watching our favorite shows on the television.

"A house is not a home until there's Mandaue Foam."
Imagine my glee when last weekend, Nuffnang announced that Mandaue Foam will be giving the living room set and the recliner displayed outside the theater to one lucky Nuffnanger who attended the VIP screening of The Bourne Legacy?
I can only wish... and I hope my wish will be granted! This will be an ultimate surprise and will be an awesome piece to furnish our nest.
