Positive Confusion

Positive confusion. A dear friend told me this during one of our recent conversation and I can't help but agree with her. Both of us are having confusing situations and instead of feeling down and out, we thrive in these confusing times. We get to laugh and we get to have "kilig" (exciting) moments. 

It's been a year and a half already after my fateful separation from ex and I am a liar if I say I am not enjoying the freedom that came with it. My friends keep telling me that I look better now, sounds better now and there's none of that heaviness that has been in me for the past years. I couldn't agree more, well, allow me to say that maybe it goes with age too. 

Everyday challenges in our jobs, relationships and family can be a letdown, mind boggling daily confusion  but these are being met confidently. Positive intrusion from unexpected individuals are cherishly welcome. Confuse because these intrusions somehow give us that positive and undescribable feeling? Hey. Bring 'em on.

A Home for Me & The Kids

I just want to share with you a new milestone in my family life. Today, 28th of May, my eldest daughter and I will be transferring to our new and permanent residence. It's a bit far from my work place and my kids' school but I no longer need to pay rent except the mortgage of course. Thus, I will be saving like a couple of thousand pesos every month. The savings I get will be use to pay our transportation cost. However, I'll start paying utilities again like water and electricity. If one is renting a room only, one is free from paying the water coz its included already in the rent. There is only a plus plus for the electricity if you got an electric fan, electric stove, tv, ref etc. inside your room. Okay, I frankly don't like bills in general but these are a must so I have no choice. I will be missing my rented room but I am looking forward to our new home.

After leaving my parent's house, it's all rent house for me and my family for the past 13 years. I always dreamed of having a permanent place for me and my kids, and supposedly my husband (but he's an ex so, never mind...^^). Fortunately, an aunt of my ex husband offered this property and the cost is a safe amount to apply for a housing loan at Pag-Ibig. I was really confident that we can get the house thru a Pag-Ibig loan so here we are....already transferring and eager to start a new life at Brgy. Granada in Bacolod City.

I can't wait. I've been there several times and the community is really nice. The place is cool coz its nearer to the mountains. An ecopark and fresh water swimming pool resorts are nearby. Great for my kids to spend lazy afternoons and weekends with. Church and market are just a few minutes walk away from our subdivision.

It's raining today but it will not stop us from moving. My mom says May 28 is good day to transfer but with traditional belief or not, I am blessed already. Truly blessed. I can't thank the Lord enough for His abundant blessings for me and my family especially now that I am alone facing the demands of a new home and raising kids.

Post Pandemic Musings

Post pandemic for me is still a time of uncertainty. This is because my employment is still on a parttime basis. The company I work with is ...
