Our Humble Abode

My flight was delayed for almost one hour. There were only two baggage counters for our flight. I am very patient with waiting in lines as long a I know that when it's finally my turn, my patience will be rewarded. Minutes passed. I could've been bored had I not chat with the other passengers. An hour more passed. JayR got a bit nervous that I might not make my flight. I assured him that there's still more time. Then another hour passed, now I'm scared. Finally, a flight attendant approached the end of the line and took our tickets. Apparently, there was only one counter working. There's only 5 minutes left before our plane takes off and I need to go through the immigration! That was the first time I ran in an airport to really catch the plane! No matter what, I'm grateful I was able to board the plane.

JayR picked me up from the airport! It's almost an hour past midnight when I arrived. We rode a taxi to our home. After JayR paid the driver, the driver clearly said "Arigato" to us! He thought we were japanese! Hahaha!

Our home was very cozy. It's neither too big nor too small for us. JayR placed a streamer on our living room wall that said, "WELCOME HOME SWEETHEART LOVE!!! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!" It was so sweet! I felt I was indeed at home! It's the first time I saw its improvement after JayR painted it a few days ago. And it really did improved a lot! When JayR sent me pictures of the house, I felt it's too small. But I didn't mind for as long as we have a place we can call our own even for just a while is more than fine with me. Here are some of the shots I took.

There's a wet market just across our street. And a store which sells Filipino goods manned by no other than a Filipino! The MRT station is just a walk away! There's a bus stop with bus that stops at most malls in the city right in front of our building. The area is very quiet. It reminded me of Baguio. There were lots of trees around. We are at the 17th floor so the cool wind fills our home. We can live with just a fan throughout the day. I'm just not sure when summer comes. We'll definitely save a lot with electricity bills!
