New Apartment

The typhoon caught up with the construction of the house. Thankfully, the roof was done so at least we weren't flooded inside the house.

After the typhoon, we were crippled with the loss of electricity and water. My sister and I ended up taking a bath and charging our cellphones in Fitness First. We had to check in a hotel because our house was inhabitable. There was dust everywhere, it was very hot inside and we can't even take a bath.

At Holiday Inn, I thanked God for running water and aircon and cable TV. Also, it was near my office so I dropped off Pat and Anne at Shaw Station before heading off to the office. In the afternoon, I picked them up from the station and went back to the hotel.

By Monday (Oct2), Dad wanted us to move to an apartment, at least until most of the renovations are done. That time, there was still no water and electricity at home. I felt bad for mom because she was very sick that time and she was unable to leave the house.

By Tuesday, we moved to an old apartment in Makati. It was right at CBD and very accessible to MRT and the malls (yey!). It was like moving to a condo once again with roommates. The apartment is like a time machine. The furniture is old...like late 80s and early 90s... kinda nostalgic really. Nevertheless, I was very glad we have aircon, running water (with heater, o ha!) and cable tv.

That evening, I sat down with Pat and Anne and stated houserules (welcome, housemates!)
And that same evening, electricity was restored in Paranaque.

Good grief!
