I am a homebody type of individual, for me, my home is my sanctuary no matter how simple it was. But whenever i saw some really nice houses, I began to think about, who's the owner of that house and that im wishing silently that one day, we may be able to have a house of our own with huge garden which is my biggest like. How about you? What's goin on with your mind whenever you saw beautiful house or houses? I'll be glad to hear your response!

I will be thinking, when will I be able to buy a similar house. If there is a feature that I particularly like, my thinking will then be, how will it look if I have a mini version in my place now.

Hello there! Im like that as well, whenever i saw beautiful house or houses, i began to admire it/them a lot and asked my self "When will be the time that i could have something like this?" Yes, that's true, if we can't afford to have it at once, then we just copy the feature it has in our present dwellings. Anyway, its nice to dream about it and for me, i just treat it as an inspiration for me to give out my best so me and my family could have our dream house in the near future too. Have a nice Sunday!

Hello there! what a very funny answer to my discussion, LOL! Well, im sure that one who owns a big and nice house must be earning money so well, because as we all knew, a house needs a lot of money to be able to be constructed that huge and fabulous. Ive heard that reason from a friend too, and my initial reaction was to laugh because of her intelligent yet funny reason, its just that i didn't knew if she's joking or totally serious with her answer. Have a nice day!

The first thing that usually pops out of my mind is that "I wish I would have one such as that." Not being so envious about it. But its like a motivator for me that whenever I see beautiful houses, I'll be in awe. and that it makes me strive harder, study harder, work harder so that one day, I hope I could buy myself a house as beautiful as what I've seen. Thanks for sharing by the way. Have a nice day. Best of luck

Hi there! Yes indeed, its almost the thinking of all of us when we got to see beautiful houses. It's so good to dream that we could also have that pretty house or much prettier than the one we saw, i must say. That's also my stand for that, im not jealous about others nice property its just that, its a natural feeling for us to admire nice houses and started to wish that we could have the same in the near future. I'll say yes to that, its better to be inspired and motivate one's self so that our dream today to have a nice house of our own became a reality tomorrow. We'll never know... Good luck!

The first thing in my mind comes is that the owner is rich. And I hope that I can afford to buy the same house. Having really nice, beautiful house is expensive. You need much money for the interior, designs, and materials to use. so I wish I could have one.

Hello bloemart! yes that's true. Our house seems to show our status in life that's why the curiosity in asking who's the owner of one huge/nice house arises in an instant whenever we see one. As we all know, building a house nowadays is no joke. It requires lots of money and all, so not all of us realizes the dream of having one. What i can say is that, let's continue to struggle, work harder and pray much. We'll never know when we could have the chance of having our dream house. Good luck and good night!

My thoughts are the same as yours.., I will also be thinking about who's the owner and how lucky they are to own a house as grand as that.., and I would be in a wishful thinking mode.., dreaming that someday.., i'll have a house of my own as beautiful as the one I saw..=)

Hello there! I'll say yes to that! All of us i think, thought that way whenever we saw beautiful houses that attracts our attention and creates great admiration on our part. Just like what ive mentioned earlier, its a natural reaction for us to have the curiosity of wondering of who's the owner of the pretty house we saw for the very fact that building house requires lots of money, more so if its really fabulous and huge. Don't stop believing and dreaming about having nice dwelling in the future, just like what they said, life's just like a box of chocolates, we'll never know what in store for us tomorrow or the next day. Good night!

Hello! Its a natural feeling for us to want house of our own. First and foremost, shelter is one of the basic necessity of human, secondly, its a good feeling to be able to live in a pretty house because it could meet our needs for comfort and security. Many of us wanted to win in the lottery, its an instant money but its so hard to win in there. Well, its a game of chance, we'll never know if when's the time we're lucky enough to won. Anyway, there's many things that you could do to put this dream of yours in reality, you just have to think hard, plan hard, work hard and pray hard for it. Good luck and God bless!

Hello bingskee!Yes that positive thinking I must say. This power words could change your usual life pattern because from thinking about this, this serves as an inspiration for you to work harder, strive deeper so that your dreams or wishes will become real in the future. I do hope that you will realize your dreams in the coming days to come. Anything is possible, we'll never know. Good luck!

Hello! Beautiful, nice houses really deserves our admiration. Its one pricey possession that truly needed by us, being one of human's basic necessity. It's not a secret that almost all of us dreamed of having it for our self and for our loved ones but sad to say, not all of us could make that dream a reality. Anyway, we have years to work for it, i like you for sharing your thoughts and likes about your future house. You have a very nice and luxurious taste i must say. Good luck to you and God bless!

One of my dream is to have my own house. And when I see beautiful houses I usually set the most beautiful I have seen to be the house that I will surpass. Of course I will only choose what I think is achievable within my lifetime. If I ever see a beautiful mansion then I'll just stand there watching with awe. I don't think its possible for me to achieved such house.

Hello juggerogre!What a nice way to be inspired and have your dream house in the near future. All of us dreamed of having the house we set on our minds, its nice to picture it out on our minds because even the most active individual needs a place for relaxation. Shelter is one of the basic needs of us humans so its just true that all of us wanted to have a house that satisfies our likes and needs at the same time. Keep on hoping and believing, who knows, tomorrow will be the time for you to have your own home. Good luck and have a lovely day ahead!

well i am always dreaming to build a beautiful home..but this is not the time...but when i am seeing such a beautiful houses like in my dream...i am started to dream again...i have a dream to buy/build a home within 15years... well,in my opinion the beauty of house is not its structure and its design and its color..the real beauty of a home is what the life of members who are staying in it...the deep and clear relations...otherwise its only a concrete structure...most of the 'beautiful' houses are not actually 'beautiful'...

Hello sharikh! All of us i think, dream of owning our preferred house. For me, our house represents our status in life and also our personality. You are right for saying that the relationship of those inside the house is what matters more than the structure of the house itself. A house that was filled with love, happiness and understanding is a home that makes every member of it wants to come back into every now and then, no matter how simple and how modest or how humble it was. Yes indeed, some of the beautiful houses we've seen maybe less beautiful in real essence of it because, somebody who dwells in it lacks the happiness that a true home could provide its member. Have a lovely day ahead!

It's part of my daily life to browse pictures of beautiful houses online and checkout the interiors,prices,etc. I really want to have a beautiful house for my family. I got married last year but we are living here in my parents' house here in the Philippines since both of them are living abroad but I still want to have a beautiful house that I can call my own.

Hello mimifrap! I understand you for having the thought like that. Being married is a different thing already. The thought of independence strike both the couple because privacy and being able to have a family of your own was the main reason for aiming a place of your own. I am also like that, im fond of watching beautiful unique houses, browse the net to see them as well, collect flyers given by the agent at the mall and buy magazines that focused mainly on the designs of pretty houses including their interiors. I wanted really to have fresh ideas on how i could beautify the simple house we're building right now, though its modest and simple, not a huge one just like im dreaming of. Im still thankful because not anyone could have this precious chance to have their own home. Don't stop hoping and dreaming, you could have it real. Good luck and God bless!

Haha, everytime my husband and I pass a really nice house I always wanna see the inside that is my first and only thought and I'm guilty of looking through the window frm the road to try and get a mental pic of what it looks like. It might sound nosey, in fact it probably is but I can't help the curiosity.... if it's that beautiful from the outside it must be even more beautiful on the inside!

Hi there soldierswifee! Well, you sounds so funny to me. And in fact, curiosity is not bad for you don't have any bad intention for being interested to see the inside features of a beautiful house. Maybe a lot of us wanted to do it as well because nice houses really catches any one's attention and true enough, sometimes, its not enough to just saw its exterior, because of curiosity we still wanted to see its interior part. Nice sharing you got there, have a nice day ahead!

Whenever i saw a house,especially a beautiful one,i would hang my head and have a sign because of the high housing price that i couldn't own one.Although i'm still studying in campus purseing a postgratuate degree,i have to worried about this problem duo to the Chinese tradition that if you don't possess a house,your gf's parents won't permit her duoghter to marry you.My gf is 2 years old than me,and she said she couldn't wait.Now..i have no idea.

Hi there! Really? I didn't know that its one requirement for Chinese family. That their soon to be son in law should provide their daughter a house before marriage. Well, its really a problem if you don't have enough savings to buy your girlfriend a nice descent house, but you still have a chance to buy this in the next couple of years. I just knew that you could do this because it seems that you're working so hard to be able to have a good life in the future. Don't get tired of studying, because as the saying goes, education is the gate to success. Good luck to you!

whenever i see a beautiful house i'd think "wow. i wonder how much that house cost? how rich are the people inside it?" haha... for some reason big houses for me equates to a very rich family or person. then i'd somehow think to at least remember a part of it that i would want in my own house someday, like making a photographic memory of it.

Hi there! Yes i agree, our house somewhat convey to others our status in life. That's why rich individuals most of the time have their house so huge and fabulous while middle class and the poor families have a simple houses. My mind was filled with many thoughts too whenever i saw nice houses and of them is who's the owner and how he managed to built such nice structure, what is his business and i just thought that he's lucky to have that kind of house. That's a good way of inspiring your self, remembering the nice part of one's beautiful house and hopes to imitate it when you built your own, good luck and God bless!

hi jinjer when I see a really beautiful house I begin to imagine what it would be like to live in a home like that, own it free and clear, know you will always have a real home to go to and know you are free and safe. then I rouse myself to realize here in Southern Ca. you have to haver a really top level job to afford to actually own any kind of a house, even just a condo so for most of us owning a nice home is not in the cards for us at all.

Hello Hatley! Correct! I agree with you. That's one thing i am not able to say but i also imagine what its gonna feel if we're also living in one house that i am able to watched in TV, seen in the magazine or visited by us. Many of us dreamed of having our own dream house, but just like what you've said, its not for all because of its huge price. Have a blessed Sunday and stay happy! God bless...

I also admire beautiful houses and i also had same question in mind if who owns that beautiful house. I like a house that is not as big as a mansion,but big enough to accommodate my family and some relatives with a big lawn and garden full of flowers all the year round

Hi there jaiho! We're having the same question in mind my dear, me, i like to know who's the owner of the nice house that i saw because im wondrin how they look like and how they were able to built that beautiful house. As we all knew, building a house is too pricey and not anyone could afford to have their dream homes erected, that's why me, I just look at them and i'll keep on praying and hoping that someday, i wish i could have my dream home too. Im having it now on my mind, a complete plan of the house that i wanted to have, every detail's finished, it's just that I don't have money to put that into reality, LOL! HAve a blessed Sunday!

Whenever i see a beautiful house, i like to wonder who lives there. I wonder what made them choose that house as their own. I wonder what kind of people they might be. sometimes if it is a big house, i wonder how many bathrooms and bedrooms it has and how long it must take to clean it.
@jinjer168 (1596)

Hello sender!Its a common thinking for us i guess to wonder who's the owner of one pretty house we saw and how it looks inside. Others believe that your personality is reflected with the way your house looks like. It doesn't matter whether its big, grand or humble one but how clean and tidy it it was. Of course, our status in life most often than not, also appeared in our type of house. Wish we could have the house we dreamed of in the near future. Good night!

uumm, well now i am not really going to say much, but it is nice to dream or think of living in a nice house. As for the big sweetie, even the gardens, it is a hell of a lot of work to maintain. You will get your dream home someday. Keep on dreaming, they always come true, you know. TATA.

Hello ms sweetie! You made me think about it, well, its just hard to maintain huge garden so, i will make it a little smaller but i wanted it to be spacious still. About the house, i want it be be spacious as well with a nice interior of course but not so big like the mansions of some wealthy individuals. Thanks for reminding me that dreaming sometimes do came true, i just would like to share with you, that im now looking forward to building our own house. Its a three storey house, with an attic but only half size of the house' floor area as its 4th floor. We're still saving a lot for its finishings. Not a huge one but its too high, without a garden. Im still aiming to have a bigger one with my dream garden of course. I wanted that house to be rented only because when the time comes that im already old and gray, surely i cannot climb going up and down to so many stairs! Have a lovely day ahead and God bless!

nothing come into mind.Maybe the price of the property the resell value.Big garden need cutting close.I prefer a neat and empty house easy to mop and clean.big house also attract unwanted attention too.Robery prone, but i guess nowsdays thief robber target any house regardlesso of size.Big garden maybe thinking can rear big dogs that can run around the house.Maybe plant some vegetables.

Hi there! You have your point there. Yes, big houses really catches attention especially to those that having the bad thought of robbing other houses. Its somewhat scary but at least the owners could install good security features for their safety. Me too wanted my future garden to have many plants, especially those that have flowers. Herb garden and planting vegetables in one's yard is a good idea, Good luck and have a nice day ahead!

That I'm gonna have or build one of those someday, if given a chance...But then if not, I'd still be grateful to have a place, even not as big as those houses, that I can call a HOME...

Hello len! I agree with you. Almost all of us I guess, wishes that we could also have a nice house that we could call our own whenever we saw nice, beautiful houses. But you are right, not all of us who hopes for it, had given the precious chance to own one that's why i admire you for accepting that fact and still be thankful with what you have no matter how simple it is. Yes, its true that its better to have a home filled with love and happiness together with your loved ones rather than a mansion if the people around didn't care for each other. You've got your point there. Good night!
