Frustrated

We've started checking out flats for rent and everyday I get agitated on the prices that I see in the newspapers or in the internet ads. I can't believe that HDB flats is now at 2K+ high. We've viewed a total of 5 flats so far but one was really crappy and they're asking 1.5K for it. To top that off, they advertised it as "nice". Please don't get me wrong, though I am very picky on flats I live in, I try not to be pintasera unless really "provoked". I guess that flat hit my limit.

I wish these agents will get more information first before advertising anything so that their time and our time won't be wasted. And, I really hope that relevant authorities will look into the housing situation soon. Though owners are increasing rental prices, our salaries stay the same.

super agree po ako sa'yo.. sana nga may magcontrol sa pagbigay ng renta yung mga agent at owners.. nagiging sobrang unreasonable na sila :(

Gosh! 2K ang HDB? Parang gusto ko pasalamat sa landlord namin kasi nung March pa nya kami pinaalis. At least dati, average ng executive & 4+1 HDB flats, 1300-1500 pa lang. And I'm glad, 2 years ang contract namin.

pathetic na nga talaga rental prices ngayon. yung iba valid ang reason dahil brand new at maganda ang location. pero yung iba, taking advantage na lang talaga.

prediction nila, until the IR's all done, tuloy pa rin daw ang pagtaas ng real estate market dito.

Today is the eve of Dawter T's 5th birthday. I couldn't help but reminisce about how she grew up from this jaundiced baby that I had to leave in the hospital to a girl who is vibrant and full of questions and who wouldn't want to be left alone. She's Cinderella's number 1 fan but is now discovering Kim Possible and Totally Spies. She likes to play with the computer, she sometimes uses it to draw using MS Paint or to surf Barbie's website. She doesn't want to be called baby because she's now an older sister. She likes to sleep holding my hand. She loves scrapbooking with me and my friends. She's very good at doodling and was kidding my Mareng M that she'll have her own line soon. HeHe... She's even better at stamping than me. She likes school and doesn't want to skip it even if she's sick. She doesn't sleep early. She sleeps at 11pm (the earliest). She's a very picky eater. Takes her own sweet time to finish a meal. But, eats
