Our Neighborhood

So far, we have no regrets living in a small townhouse in Bacoor, Cavite. In our four months of stay there, I’ve come to believe that living in a gated community really has its perks. For one, there are enough open spaces to walk on or take some rest at. There is also a limited number of people moving around, people who are already familiar faces to us because they are our neighbors.

I only get to appreciate our small neighborhood during weekends. On weekdays, we leave the house early for work and arrive there late when we come back from Manila. What’s nice about the location of our house is that we’re near the plaza which is complete with playground equipment and almost always filled with cheerful kids. There may be no outdoor water fountains to make the place more alive and pleasant-looking, but the laughter and chatter of the playing kids are enough to give us a sense of joy and yes, community.

Time to Move-In

Today is gonna be a great day for the fiancee. Hours from now, we will be going to the developer’s office to get the move-in documents for his new house in Cavite. The last time we checked out the place, we did a thorough inspection of the unit in the presence of the property manager. Luckily, there was not much to report except for a few cement and paint stains here and there.

The next step to all of this is the move-in. Did I mention that the house has its own water and electricity already? As early as now, the fiancee has started canvassing for light fixtures to install in the house. Some home improvement projects are in place, too. It’s gonna be costly for sure, but it seems he had prepared for that a long time ago. Good for him. Haha.

Low-Cost Housing in Cavite

I’m a proud owner of a low-cost housing unit in Cavite. It’s actually my gift to my parents who are currently living there. I chose a low-cost house over an expensive one for practical reason. I’d rather go for a low-cost house that I could finish paying for than an expensive one that could end up in the hands of the bank at a slight twist of fate.

Slowly, we are improving the structure and the interiors of the house by introducing repairs here and there. So far, we’re done with tile flooring and back extension and we also bought some furnishings and home appliances to make life easier for our parents. We have more home improvement projects lined up, but we’re doing it one project at a time.
