First of, let me welcome the month of November feeling thankful and blessed.
I can say its been a lucky year so far because we sold our house to
its now rightful owner before the year come to a close. No one said
it would be easy of course 'cuz it took five grueling years before
someone finally took notice, was interested and eventually bought it.
A lot of changes happened along the way and mostly painstakingly
difficult. But then, God listened to our woes and prayers, he granted
what we've been yearning for, a move to a new house eventually, to
start anew. It was bittersweet but life goes on. Life is a constant
change. I thanked my dearly departed Mom of course because this
wouldn't have happened without her guidance, and above all, God, he
made all things possible. As an adage goes “
Patience comes to
those who wait” and things will eventually fall into place at
the right time or the most apt thing to say is
in God's perfect
time.

| my ever reliable drilling equipment |
Moving on, I got so busy decorating the house and all, bought new
fixtures etc, etc. My sissies and I found this furniture
shop that sells really affordable fixtures. Buying furniture is such
a good de-stressing activity. I just love beautifying our new house.
I actually love decorating because it brings out the creativity in me
and when you have tons of ideas there's no stopping! I was so
squeamish to hang our decors on the wall so we bought this impact
drilling equipment at the nearest handyman store. At first, it was
kind of difficult to wrap my head around the thought of operating
that darn drilling equipment but after reading through the not so
comprehensive instruction manual, I was able to successfully drill
over fifteen holes (mostly by trial and error) which now holds
roughly that many wall decors, mirrors, a wall clock, and the most
difficult of them all, a towel holder. Drilling on really thick tiled
bathroom walls is such a pain. It wasn't as easy as I thought.
Nevertheless, I now seriously enjoy drilling the walls no matter how
heavy the drilling equipment is after seeing the finished products. The
effort and exhaustion is just all worth it. Who says drilling is a
man's job? I don't think so. All you have to have is patience for it,
an eye shield for the cement particles, an apron with pocket for
screws/hooks and a surgical mask so you won't inhale the dust. Last
but not least, clean up your own mess if you don't wanna get scolded!

he's better off asleep actually because
he does a lot of crazy things awake :D |
I love our new home, it's peaceful and just minutes away from the
central district. Let me also share that my cat now sleeps in my room
more often because I think he's still scared to get lost in the woods
nearby so he'd rather be a homebody kitty. I can't wait to venture
into working from home as well because I already got tired of working
in the confides of the office and endure the ever worsening traffic
jams. I want to have time for lot of other things right now,
especially traveling, blogging, baking, and my list goes on.
I'm off to visit my Mom's Columbarium tomorrow. I miss her and I
wanna talk to her in silence, bring her flowers. Just early today, I
heard the door bell rang twice and there's no one outside. I can't
say it's grounded because I fixed our door bell myself and it's
working perfectly. I guess she's just paying our new home a visit,
trying to test the door bell perhaps since I always have doubts that
I indeed fixed it LOL. Well, it's the 1st of November what
to expect? A lot of wandering souls yonder. Let's just offer them
prayers. Nothing to be scared of. I am more scared of Burglars than
ghosts. Just saying.
It's 54 days to go before Christmas. Have you decorated your
Christmas tree yet? I did. My cat hasn't played with a single
Christmas balls yet, I am crossing my fingers.
