full house

we have officially moved in! last night was our first night here. allan and i invited and surprised our friends for dinner. the gathering also doubled as a bon voyage party to my hubby’s brother-in-law.

it did not take me a long time to feel right at home here. the place is really gorgeous that i was inwardly thinking that it felt like a hotel more than a home. i told this to allan and he said that he had the exact thoughts.

i would normally toss and turn before finally catching sleep, but last night, i slept like a baby. the opposite could be said of allan, who i always tease to be a MAPA, meaning mapalapat lang ang likod tulog na) he slept at around four and hit the wall on his was to the bathroom at about 5am. so, yeah allan’s still getting used to the place.

we already have a landline and our broadband is on its way. hopefully, all will be done by friday. i am so excited.

there are still a few things left over at the old house. we went there after class and were not able to haul everything in. i was just so tired with the moving (yesterday) and the 6 hour-teaching (today) that i was not in the mood for anything but rest.

last night as i was saving our new landline number, i asked allan what i would put in and he said FULL HOUSE, ha ha. allan’s a die-hard fan of korean movies although we hardly ever get our hands on them. we usually have to ask my mom to send some dvd’s from pinas to here.

it’s still scorching hot here. good thing songkran is just 10 days away.

we still have a lot of things we have to get rid of. allan likes to keep things while i like throwing things that only end up as clutter. yesterday, before leaving we saw this guy who buys junk and we got a whopping 600 baht for all of the things we did not need anymore.

i keep looking for imperfections to the Full House but I just can’t find any. the owners are very nice. last night they bought a brand new TV and gas range for us. and we don’t even cook that often.

will post pics once we have sorted everything.

good things come my way

la di da, i am so happy.

that one thing i mentioned before, that one thing i was afraid to jinx has passed the crucial stage of not happening and is well on its way to changing my life for the better. i am still unable to divulge anything here but to the few people who know, well, I MADE IT.

it’s flattering when people appreciate the good in you. it makes me realize how truly blessed i am for the skills that i have. and i am really grateful that i have learned how to set my priorities straight early on.

it’s so general, i know but you have got to bear with me. some things have to be kept hush-hush.

monday seems so far away. i can hardly wait to move. good thing all of our stuff are either already in the new house or neatly packed in a box. moving should be easy save for the big things we, eeerrrr, i mean allan has to haul in to the new place.

my schedule in april is unbelievably tight. i’ve got classes as early as 9:30am (ah, there goes an extra hour of sleep ) until 7:30pm. does that make me a workaholic? when times like these come, i just remind myself of how lucky i am to have a stable job. i guess once in a while we all have to look around to appreciate what we have.

but in april, despite the heavy workload, comes songkran! wooohoo. four glorious days of rest. here’s what i plan to do:

1. sleep

2. sleep

3. sleep

and more sleep.

see, there is always a silver lining
