Today, we already completed one month here in Quezon City. We are temporarily renting one unit at the fourth floor of a 19-door new apartment building. The location is pretty accessible to church, school, 7-11, McDonald's, and SM (North EDSA) Shopping Mall.

We're still in the period of adjustment. Since my eldest son is working abroad, it is practical to rent a two bedroom, a not so spacious living and dining room enough to keep my family together , a clean kitchen adjascent to 1 toilet & bath opposite the laundry area, AND a balcony to enjoy the view of the city. Unpacking balik bayan boxes will take time. It's a pain to give away most of my stuffs but, the question is if I still need to keep them or not. My stuffs crowded my room and the only way to have some space is to give them away. I can actually put up an Ukay Ukay business selling clothes I collected during my travelling years but how to do it, I do not know...

When I first visited the building and went upstairs, I was grasping my breathe when we reached the second floor but now, I can go up to the fourth floor with grocery stuffs on both hands with no sweat. Going up and down the stairs with heels is quite easier now than the first two weeks.

I discovered that going to Makati City or SM Megamall is faster by taking MRT (Metro Rail Transit) than the usual taxi service which I often availed in the past. I do not know how many years now MRT was servicing millions of Filipinos but, if not because of my daughter, I wouldn't know where and how to buy ticket for MRT ride.

So far, life is great, in general, although I'm still loveless! Somehow, I am more open to positive changes in our lives now and willing to work, if I find an opportunity to do so, in order to support the kids' college educations...

In God, we trust...
