My own home sweet home

Now I’m spilling the beans.

Last Sunday, I officially moved into my studio.

Yep, I’m renting a studio-type condo unit in the Pasong Tamo area.

I have been planning about this since December of last year. Come April, I was already getting depressed thinking about how I wanted my own place but haven’t done anything to kick the plan off.

By May, I was already spending my weekends looking for apartments and condominiums. Alongside that, I was looking for a second job – a racket at that – which will augment my income, pay my rent and support my lifestyle when combined with my day job.

I guess Paulo Coelho was right when he wrote The Alchemist – if you want to achieve something badly, all of the universe will conspire in your favor.

Luckily for me, the universe did.

So last week, I bought all my furniture and appliances. The whole weekend was spent waiting for their delivery, packing and cleaning.

By Sunday, the studio looked like a home. My own.

I feel so fulfilled. I have a lot more stuff to buy though. So friends, my motif is Zen. Most of my furniture is light-colored wood. Zen furnishings and trinkets are most welcome. Hehehe.
