Three years in the making and now we're here! Finally got our hands to the house we've been praying for 馃ス馃彙鉂わ笍
Following our wedding in October 2019, it was early 2020 when Lancelot and I decided to start looking for a place of our own. FB ads showing where to invest for a house and lot regularly appeared here and there, to which I commented asking for quotations. And in June 2020, we came across this certain developer that offers pre-selling units.
On the day of the tripping, we immediately fell in love with the place. While on the way, our imaginations were of our dailies while living in this side of Carmona, specifically within this Subdivision.
The location meets our needs. It is surrounded by all the essential things a community could ever hope for. We'll be just a few meters away from the supermarkets (whether inside the mall or the local palengke's and sari-sari stores), church, hospital, banks, government offices, hardware store, and other providers of various services. And in the near future, educational institutions for our children are also within the vicinity.
Also location-wise, this Subdivision is ideal for the both of us because it's gonna be not too near & not too far from our hometowns (Taguig & Batangas), hence, the travel time to be with our families is going to be manageable.
The perimeter is one of the considerations too, because although we're just gonna be a few minutes away from the commercial area, we are surrounded by other Subdivisions, so we're convinced that it's more secured and a little slower & calmer than the daily hussle of the business district.
As for the budget, it's a great thing that we already had an idea of how much we can spare for the monthly amortization. This Subdivision simply checked the list.
Overall, it was a promising development, that we just cannot refuse to go on with the reservation. To this date--we know deep down that we did the right thing. Especially knowing how the price hiked for almost half from when we signed up for it in 2020.
Now, we all know what transpired during that year. Given that the pandemic put a halt in most of the activities in this world, the construction of our house was heavily affected matter of factly.
We experienced construction delays several times over, and due to limited face-to-face interactions, countless communications issues took place between us, our agent, and the developer's authorized representatives.
There were days when we thought of giving it up as there were days when we kept holding on patiently.
I've saved boards on Pinterest for the house pegs, from each room's layout, furniture and fixtures, theme and colors, down to the organizing hacks and decors. I cried over them whenever disappointments and uncertainties sprout.
But most of all, on the verge of breaking down and walking away, numerous signs were shown to us. Like when we started asking about how "pasalo" works, some future neighbors kept on sharing about their waiting time and how happy they were when they finally moved in. That when Lance suggested giving up the house, a homeowner posted about their newly built gate and the hope and excitement in our hearts suddenly welled up. And when we were being disheartened by turnover news from families and friends who reserved for their houses much later than us while ours still had no definite timeline, a neighbor just across our block took the initiative to help us in giving our home's construction updates. She went as far as sending us photos and videos weekly and giving us tips.
It's like God is reminding us that His plans have no plan A to Z. His promise is the most perfect in all terms. And all we must do is to continue to be excited for what's coming ahead. His promise. His ways. His design.
There are still a lot of things to do. But our hearts are at peace knowing that the promise unfolding in front of our eyes is the most perfect work & blessing we could ever have.
Thank you Lord for the provision. Renting while paying for both the down payment and monthly amortization is a difficult feat but we survived because You are our ultimate provider.
Thank you for the gift of family. When we started to channel our focus, energy and time to the people who love us unconditionally, everyday struggles at work and relationships seemed to be just like a music we simply needed to dance with.
Thank you for having us wait to see how it's all been worth it all along. Our hearts swell with unexplainable joy because Your presence has been with us through and through.

Lord, You are our ultimate provider. Not our jobs. Not our employers. We are so excited about the opportunities You have for us.

My high school BFF suddenly messaged me today that she misses me.
I cried.
I never knew how dear these words are to me right now. Not too much, but just enough to say it's what I needed.

Funny how when we are heartbroken, it is easy to tuck ourselves in the loving embrace of our family.
By this time, I thought I've been doing my best to make them feel how I love them so much... Pero ngayon, mas gusto ko pang tumbasan yung "best" na yun.
My constant. My tribe. My home.
Lord, I promise not to take them for granted. For my birthday, I pray that you'd let me spend a very long time with them further, and that You'd provide us the provisions to travel with them to see all the beautiful, warm and calming things in the world.
