Vaginal Realm

For the nth time, I'm on the hunt for a new place. That I haven't fully paid the purchase price of my current residence to my father still makes the house legitimally his, and that I could not kick him and my brother out of there even if I tried. Sieg is welcome to stay BUT as we would have it, we want to have a private place of our own and trust me when I say that these two aforementioned people are the last ones you would want to share your habitat with. I mean it.

So...off again I go to house-hunt. So far I haven't found one that would suit our requirements, to briefly enlist:

• Within the budget. Hopefully not more than 7k, if push comes to shove we're willing to pay 7.5k if it's worth it
• On a safe vicinity where I can go home after a day of overtime and not fear for my life. That also means no "illegitimate residents" nearby.
• Complete amenities, at least has its own power and water lines, and waste collection is regular and efficient. Nevermind telephone and cable service; I can provide that for my own.
• Baby-friendly - defined as quiet, clean, easily accessible via commute, and feasible for bubu's morning sunshine dose
• Of course, requires minimum renovation. As in we can move in immediately without having to worry about leaking faucets or door/window repairs

I have to find a place by the end of this month. Good luck to me. =(

Found a place in Guadalupe Nuevo where I first lived out of college. To give an overview of the apartment, it has linoleum for a floor (God knows what's underneath it. I didn't want to peek), about 2 yards of newly-tiled counter for a sink, about 4 sq.m. of newly-tiled cubicle for a bathroom, a small open laundry area at the back, and two bedrooms upstairs. Sounds feasible? NOT! I realized that no matter how much paint you smack on its surface, a rat hole is still a rat hole. And for 13k/month, it is such a rip-off. Pffft.

I passed by my old apartment in the area, where everything is nice except the bathroom, and the monthly rent is only 8k though that was around 3-4 years ago. Too bad they have no vacancies today. Awww sad. =(

Next option please...and fast!

I'm off to the Mandaluyong/Boni area tonight to look for a place. Jeezus, if only walking is not advisable at this point of my health...anyway I'm crossing my fingers that I'd be able to find at least one optionable option for a new home. Wish me luck.
