Our last day in Pasig

Wow, after almost four years in Pasig City we're now moving to Bulacan. I never imagined myself living outside of Pasig, but this opportunity came and we can't miss it. We can now live comfortably in Bulacan with a big house and a quiet environment. Ofcourse without the perks Pasig had always been known for, still we will find the opportunity to navigate through the different places in Bulacan and find an alternative.

I think it just came out as a spontaneous decision for us both, right after the wedding, we thought of something we can do, another project. We first thought of buying a bigger fridge, but then there's not much space in our itsy bitsy apartment that can accomodate a bigger one. Next, we thought of replacing our tiny sala set, but then again, the space, always the space. So, we thought of, since we hardly go outside the convenience of our home and we really don't mind travel time, being late, etc, why not we try to find a home that can fit all of our appliance and we can live comfortably without the hussling and buzzling noise of the city.

We tried the world wide web for answers, we went to sulit.com.ph, buyandsellph.com, moveinthecity.com, and even craigslist.com. Until we found this tiny add in buyandsell.ph about a certain home for rent in Bulacan. So, we did call the phone number listed and we we're asked to call back. We did after a few hours and I spoke with the owner, ate Nida, she was very nice and accomodating, she invited us to view the apartment the next day. I can hear from her voice that she's not very confident that we're interested, who on earth would want to live in Bulacan if you're already in the the business district.

After a few talks with Jeff we finally decided to try to check out the house. We also found another ad, this time in olx.com, which is a townhouse for rent, it has pictures on the add and the best part is, it's also in Bulacan. So a day after we headed out to Bulacan to check these two houses. Since Jeff is pretty much not used to travelling for more than a hour, I can see that he's a little aggravated with the situation. But upon seeing the house, we're both surprised that it's inexpensive and still, it's in an executive village. We also got interested with the townhouse but it's much more expensive compared to the house.

We really talked about it and our decision was final, we're taking the inexpensive one. We realized, if we are to move to a new house, in Bulacan, we need to be sure that it's compensating the fact that we're no longer in a city part of Metro Manila, and living in an expensive townhouse will not make thing better.

So, here we are, painfully packing our things and awaiting for the big day, tomorrow. I think we almost have everything ready. I already booked for a 6W truck for only 3,000 pesos with two helpers, bought some stuff that I know the house would really need. Like a shower curtain, some concrete nails and hooks. We just need to make sure that we get everything ready for pickup tomorrow afternoon. We're outahere by three..
