Yey! Finally! My own room, with my own sink and my own bathroom! LOL! And my floor is tiled too, easier to clean, I guess. Hmmm… this pad is not really big, just about 24 square meters, but as you can see, I got my own queen size bed that comes with a very soft 4-inch foam. So I guess I won’t be using my sleeping bag anymore huh? (I’ll just keep it for emergencies then.) Now how’s that for a great sleep?

Well, I haven’t really organized the room yet (have gotten lazy after packing and unpacking my things) but at least I’ve put on my green curtains and my green bed sheet (still can’t guess what my favorite color is? Whoa!) And yes, I’ve arranged the picture frames and my books, but the sink is a little, errrr… not so organized yet. Hey! I even have my own cabinet under the sink! Now, what do you think I should put there? I have a shelf on the top of the sink too (not shown in the picture), I definitely know what to put there!

And yes! That’s my closet! What’s so biggie about having my own closet? Oh well, the old place doesn’t have one. Yeah, I just have a 4-layer shelf where all my things are stuffed and I had no choice but to get demoralized seeing it everyday. Oh well, here’s a big space for my things and yeah, I can hang my clothes inside.

Just about a meter away from the closet (at its right) and a meter away from the sink (at its left) is the bathroom. I decided not to take pictures of it yet. It’s clean, yeah but well, there are old stains that needed to be scrubbed out. And knowing my condition, I think I’ll have to settle with a clean scented bathroom (yeah, cleaned it already, took me 2 hours, huh!) with some stains left since I can’t bend my body for a long time to take away the blemishes.

All in all, I’m fairly satisfied with my monthly rental of PHP2,500, especially that the water and electricity is free even with my rice cooker, electric fan and iron (mind you, I pay PHP200 per month for the rice cooker at my old place). They will even consider my PC for free if after seeing the monthly bill, not much has been added on the balance. Really cool!

And I like the people here, they don’t ask too much personal questions, they certainly respect my privacy. I like that. And more, Ate Lala at the next unit (about thrice as big as my room) has got 4 kids and the youngest is just 3 months old! She was so happy to teach me all about motherhood, that’s really a plus! The landlady also bakes and sells the yummiest cassava cake in town! I even got my officemates into a cassava and moist cake craze after bringing some boxes in the office.

I hope this place is really nice, that this isn’t just a good start that will turn into a bad end. I am preparing this place for my Little Nicholas. I want him to be comfortable and happy in our new haven.
