The one with lifestyle change

Change is always good. It's the only permanent thing in this world right? Simon and I have been discussing about our family and what we plan to do and have for the next years to come. and we are really serious in looking for the perfect house for our family. If you've read my previous posts, we have met with our godparents who are the owners of the house. hmm, now we're having second thoughts coz we think we won't be able to meet their offer plus, we realized that we wanted a new house, something that we don't have to worry for the renovation of.

so anyway, we were scouting for options and when we were malling in megamall yesterday, we were welcomed with a lot of agents. one offer that interested us is the townhouse in sandoval pasig. it's perfect coz it's near c5(closer to simon's ofc), near our in-laws and my parents' too. but since they're still pre-selling and no specific details yet, we will just have to wait.

and then just this morning, we went out again to check on other houses near LRT station. we saw this condominium for rent and we got intrigued. the rent is just 1k difference from our lease rate now and it's more convenient, transpo wise. right now kasi, i use the car and simon commutes. well, more like taxi rides so more or less he spends about 10k a month just for transpo and we were thinking of renting the condo unit so we can save more to be able to pay for the house we wanted. :)

so the big question is, "are we up for the challenge?" can we live in a 30sq.m space and give up the big house we are in now? can we sacrifice our love for big space and accept the condo living so we can save more for the house we really wanted?

hmm, this is a major decision and i know we really have to pray for this. we don't want to make drastic moves. but what do i feel about it? i'm more excited actually! i dont know, for some reason, it feels more convenient and the savings will really go a long way for the house. :)

will update you more. in the meantime, compute muna ako. hahaha. :)

ei mare! will pray for you too.

condo living definitely has its ups and downs. as for me what i like most about it is the peace of mind it gives me - i can leave and not worry about the security because there are guards and just one door. Plus there's no need to maintain a garden. Yung lang space is good to have specially when you have a maid and a child.

Pero temp lang naman e. I'm sure sooner or later you'll get your dream house. Miss you and can't wait to see you soon!

Kami rin sis, we're looking into rent to own condo units or town houses. Kaya lang, ako naman hindi lang yung "space" ang igi give-up ko, its actually more of my mom seeing Joaqui. Hay. Let's just pray for guidance and I know that God will provide what we need. : )
