HOME UPDATE (THE COST OF RENOVATING A 40 SQM CONDO UNIT)

You must be wondering what happened to our home sweet home .   I think I haven’t posted an update for the longest time.   I wanted to.   Honest.   It’s just that I didn’t want this blog to be a space for disappointment.   But, I am okay now. Everything is okay now.   Thank you Lord.    The initial plan was to move-in before the end of 2013 but the unit was not delivered on time. Tsk.   So, we re-scheduled the renovation this January.    We encountered another glitch.   Getting a renovation permit was also not that easy.   Well, we understand that we need to submit the requirements.   After all, it’s for the safety of the unit owners.   But, what we couldn’t understand is the permit’s processing time.     Imagine, we were told that it would take one month. Wow!   We can’t wait that long.   We need to transfer to the unit before the expiration of our lease contract.   So, I   was compelled to   use my charm.       To cut the story short, one month was reduced   to two days.    

2014 TARGETS

  The following are my 2014 goals: 1.        Save at least 6 months’ worth of expenses. 2.        Invest   P100,000 in UITF. 3.        Invest P100,000 in the stock market.  4.   Review and Pass the Bar 5.        Lose weight.   Be healthy.   Be beautiful. 6.        Furnish the QC condo. 7.        Travel to Davao City (for R and R). 8.        Travel to Macau (for R and R). 9.        Send a relative to school. 10.    Blog at least once a week.     If you could notice,   I did not include having a baby in the list.   It’s because I believe that having   a baby is   not for us to decide.   It’s a gift from God.   But of course, we are also doing our part. And yes, consulting a doctor is part of the plan. Happy New Year everyone!
