Just so you know, we don’t have a place of our own. Like many families, we just rent an apartment.

Our new home is not very big. It’s actually much smaller than the old one even though they just cost the same to rent but we feel that it’s a much better place than the old one. My wife and I felt that the old place wasn’t a very good place because we kinda suffered a whole year of hardships there. My wife lost her job the first month we were there and the clients I got were a little hard to deal with. I’m just thankful that none of us got sick really bad.

Another reason why we moved is because we will be having a new baby late this April or early this May and we wanted to have a much cleaner surrounding for the baby. I’m not saying that our old place is a dump, it just that, a garbage truck is always parked right outside our gate. The entire house is also not very safe because materials used to build it was way below standards. At least at the new place, we feel much secure and we think we can survive a super typhoon without getting flooded. It’s also very quiet at our new home unlike at the old one where the surroundings are always noisy.

We didn’t encountered any problems moving. We had a lot of help from my nephew and his friends. The only problem we encountered was with my DSL connection. Our internet and phone service provider (PLDT)  wants us to wait 3 weeks upon application before they transfer their service to our new home. That was not acceptable at all so we decided to change service provider. The next day, my wife went to another internet and phone service provider (DIGITEL) to apply for service and guess what, it only took them a few days to install and setup their service. It also didn’t cost that much!

Right now, we are still arranging things around but most of the big stuffs are already in placed. We just have to finalized the placement of things so that we could maximize the use of the limited space that we have.

Anyway, my kids and my wife love the new place and I’m really liking it too. It’s a little bit small but overall it’s much better than our old home. I’m sure we’ll have new experiences and more exciting adventures here.

Oh, Rain has new friends here already…

We are very excited about it, even the kids are excited and eager to see the new baby, and I’m very happy that my wife is not having any problems with her pregnancy. After four months, I’ll be posting pictures of our new baby!
