Old Home. New Home.

We have finally moved to our new home. We have been planning to do it since last year but only got to execute it this year. And I'm really having mixed emotions about it.

Let me first tell you about our old home.

April 2013, we decided that it is time to have our own little home. We found a place which really fits our taste for raising our kids. It's tucked in Mandaluyong, just very near Makati. Easily accessible to transportation and Mandaluyong is basically at the middle of the Metro. The house is at the second floor of a five-storey building. We were the first one to move there since the building is new. The unit is a one-bedroom, with miniature kitchen, living and bathroom. Jielaena was still a wee little baby back then and Jieshua was just around five when we moved there. It's wasn't much, but it was home.

Fast forward to almost two years after, we have to leave the house because we got ourselves a little home of our home. The kids are growing up and the monthly rent just doesn't fit the budget anymore. As we left our old home, it's hard not to be emotional. Our kids basically grew up there. We built our dreams and achieved some of them. We had our kids running around our little house, tickling session, birthday house parties and all that. I would definitely miss living in our first home but when one door closes, another one opens.

This year, 2015, we moved to our new house in Mandaluyong also. Just a five minute walk from our old home. Here, we will build new dreams, achieve greater things, create great memories and raise happy kids.
