we did our closing today and so we finally have a house we can call our own. the american dream!!!
i'm gonna get busy with packing our stuff and moving to the new house. as a tradition, after we signed and got our keys from the sales office. we moved in our 'bigas', 'santo', 'asin' and 'coins. my mom and arend, pong and i just hang-on over at the house and sat on the carpet and just talked. so happy! we tried to imagine and argue where we gonna place the furnitures and other stuffs. another excitement in life. ha!

good news

i think our housing loan went through. the contractor called us and notified that the appraiser came, then we have a date for the walk-through and closing. so i guess everything went well. but nothing's for sure yet until we sign. if we close by 31'st then we'll get some freebies like money for fridge and blinds, they'll also sod the backyard... so i won't have to worry about that.
i'm keeping most of our stuff except our living room set. bigger house needs bigger stuff so we'll need extra dinning set and living room set. the game room upstairs i'm planning on buying a futon or sofa bed for visitors. i'm excited and i need extra cash to pay for all the stuff in need to purchase. going back to work this week. i'm gonna miss just sitting around the house and staying up late. mama's gonna help me with the baby for the mean time.
i'm gonna be moving some small stuff on my days off until we move out of here on the 9th. i'm looking at a very busy month...so long!

house hunter

after being here in SAT for a while...what? seven years? we finally decided to buy a house. we should have done this long time ago, to at least make money if we decided to sell it after. as of now, there's no hope getting us out of here and i think i got use to this metropolis now. i'm tired of it, i've seen all the places i need to see, been almost to all the good restaurants and am even tired of SAT food. but it's not really a bad place to be at and live in. of course i can go and visit places i want to, not as easy with the baby but i can still can. probably can't afford a month long vacation in europe anymore and stay in a hotel in champs-elysées, amsterdam, and germany. not for awhile, nope, unless we get stationed there. wow. we have done that because it was both our dream to visit europe. and we only live once...what the hell!
we have seen one house that we really like, not our dream house but it's pretty big enough for us and plus my mom who'll be staying with us for good i hope. it's in a swanky neighborhood, gated and close to where i work at. hopefully everything will go through with financing and stuff and maybe at the end of the month we'll be able to have our own house we can call home. i'm crossing my fingers.

10 things only another new mom could understand

1. Why you only look at yourself in the mirror from the breasts up.
2. Who to call if you need a sitter on Saturday night, a doctor on Sunday morning, or diapers at 3 a.m.
3. Why, given the choice between a night of uninterrupted sleep and a night of unbridled passion, you'd really rather have the sleep right now.
4. How taking a shower long enough to wash all the shampoo out of your hair can feel like a major life victory.
5. Why washable fabrics, packaged foods, high-action movies, fake plants, and bathing suits with skirts suddenly hold a lot more appeal.
6. Why white furniture, four-course dinners, literary novels, exotic orchids, and string bikinis suddenly hold a lot less.
7. Why you still haven't finished writing your thank-you notes.
8. How you can both love and hate your husband more than ever at the same time.
9. Why, if you're marking a special event such as your baby's first smile, 11 a.m. is certainly not too early to have a glass of champagne.
10. How a gurgly little giggle from a very small person can make you suddenly weep with joy.
