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.

Confession

Being a Mom.  Sometimes I feel as I am not cut out for it. Too much work.  Too much responsibility.  Too much worry. Worry that Ate T is taking the bus today.  Ate A's tooth is still in there and the new one has already come out.  Baby A has colds and is screaming and wants to cuddle. Sometimes it leaves me breathless. But When I pick up Ate T from our meeting place, I feel so proud of her because she has become independent and can commute.  Ate A's tenacity in wiggling her tooth and she's now toothless, doesn't need to go to the dentist to have it removed.  And, Baby A despite her colds still has appetite and it just feels good to hug her. God has showered me with so much love for giving me 3 wonderful girls.  It feels good being a mommy. Happy Mother's Day to all you wonderful Mommies!

Me! Me! Me!

Last night, I created an LO using the picture below when Bebi A happened to see it. She touched it and said "Me?!" "No, it's me!" I told her. It was really me when I was Bebi A's age. The similarities will not be able to deny that Bebi A is my daughter hahaha I just hope that my bubbly and sunny bebi will not get the mom's sumpong(s). This is one of the few baby pics that I have. I used to have 3 baby albums but one of the worst floods that hit Pinas also took away my memories. Now, this is Bebi A.

Creativity

Dawter T called me up and told me that Bebi A tore her art and made a monster out of the girl in the picture. I know that it's not being mean. Bebi A doesn't have a mean bone in her body. She just don't understand. I talked to Bebi A. Asked her to kiss and make up with her Ate, She did. Ate A told me that she went up to Dawter T and kissed her, then asked "Is this better, Ate?" Awwww... Dawter T's "smashed" art was one of her best. I was really impresed. If only I have taken a picture of it this morning. It was really beautiful. It was a portrait of a girl, by the way. I hope that Dawter T can still replicate it. I know that not all kids are alike. And, my daughters have their own endearing qualities. One's art is different from the other. Dawter T has the potential (not because I'm her mom, ok ok, it maybe because I'm her mom hahaha) and Bebi A's, well, let's just say abstract. Hehe.
