It’s been a while since I shared something personal here. It’s really hard especially now that Gwen is growing up and I just can’t share everything about her. Yes, we have this filter thing going on. Remember what I told you last January about the adulting part? Well, it finally began…
We are doing some improvements and building our house in Cavite. The house doesn’t have partitions for the rooms and is almost bare so it will be a lot of work. Basically, it looks like a house on the outside pero sa loob walang laman.
It took us almost 9 or 10 years to finally do something about the house. I really don’t want to leave Caloocan but Gwen is growing up and I think it’s best for all of us to live in a nice subdivision in a suburb where the air is fresher.
3 years ago, we already talked to a contractor who will make the house. But there are red flags tapos parang we feel that something’s not right kaya hindi natuloy. Jeff and I were not satisfied with the contractor kaya we let it pass. Now, we already got an engineer with the help of our friends and every thing went smooth. Sabi nga, things happen and don’t happen for a reason, and everything will be in God’s own time.
We’re already on Week 2. Metal furrings, gypsum boards, tiles, etc. ang nasa isip namin these days. Yung “closet” na iniisip ko, hindi yung lagayan ng damit… “water closet” as in toilet bowl. Yung mall namin ngayon, Wilcon Depot, CW Depot, etc.
Sabi nga ni Jeff, it’s stressful pero masaya. I admire my husband because he’s very meticulous when it comes to the materials we are going to use for the house. As in he will read about the reviews of different brands, track down the suppliers, etc. Kahit siguro yung screw at pako na gagamitin, igu-Google muna nya kung okay, hahaha. Plus pogi points na naman 🙂
We’re hoping to move in by summer. After that, school hunting naman for Gwen’s school although there’s a school just in front of the subdivision. She’s also excited to go swimming in the clubhouse and play at the playground.
If I went MIA again, that means I’m busy mixing cement okay :p
Welcome to Cavite! One step at a time, it will definitely help you finish your home. 🙂
wow! Dream is about to come through! one step at a time po tlga yan madam..Congratulations! Importante din po tlgang lumipat din po para sa mas safe na lugar for our family’s sake and siyempre ung tahimik at maganda..
Thank you Denice!
What a dream come true!! It’s one of the things that I wish I could achieve for my family! Can’t wait to see when you guys finally move!
Building your own home is any family man/woman’s dream! Congratulations! May your home be blessed abundantly!
That is so exciting! We’re a family of three (with another one on the way) and we’re still renting as of now. We dream of having our own home din in the future. We’re praying for it and we’re excited about the possibility of owning a house we can call our home in the future. Good luck and God bless you and your family sis. Share mo rin yung final outcome when the house is done! 🙂
Congratulations. Your dream house is about to be a reality 🙂
yay! welcome to our lovely town (naks!). I’ll invade your house soon haha
Goodluck sis! I hope everything goes well… konting tiyaga at tiis lang yan. Having your own home, no matter how simple it is feels living in a mansions.
Congratulations on your new home! Buti you and your husband are meticulous sa mga gagamitin, need talaga yan 🙂 Can’t wait to see after everything is done na, if you could post it please hehe 🙂
Building / renovating a house can be draining, both physically and financially, but once the project’s completed, ang sarap ng pakiramdam, especially if you’re hands on throughout the process. I’m excited for you!
Congratulations! Nakakaproud yung mga achievrments ng mga power couole like you amd your hubby. 💕
Having your own house and having it built the way you wanted sure is a great achievement to every couple. Especially if you’ve given all your efforts to fulfill your dreams together. I admire couples like you. Congratulations!
Hubby and I are also considering Cavite. 🙂
Wow! I would love to have my own house one day, too. Still looking for a great location pa. And I need budget, too. I think coming up with the budget is the hardest part.
I dream of having a home of our own. Minsan naguusap din kami ng asawa ko na tumira sa Cavite pero parang ayaw ko rin iwan ang Manila. In God’s time, I know my dream will come true. Congrats and I am excited about your house update 🙂
Kakatuwa naman! Super hands on kayo.. Exciting! Congratulations on this very big blessing! :))
So happy for you mommy! Congratulations for achieving your dreams! Hopefully kami din by next year 🙂
I can relate. My husband is too meticulous as well. When our house was made he had to agree for the contractor to do the house without him because we were abroad. When we got back and he wanted to redo some things.haha at least your husband is getting what he wants fr the money he is paying. 🙂
I am sure you guys are having fun! Sulit ang pagod.
Building your home and moving in sure is a lot of work, but it will be all worth it in the end. Good luck!
Wow! Sarap kapag you own the place na.tapos there’s a community to welcome you. Love the thought of your family enjoying the community’s amenities. Kakaaliw. Ang sarap ng feeling seeing your house slowly taking shape. I remember when we started, si husband lang naglagay ng division namin and cabinet. Ihihi
Wow! how great mommy Badet,ang sarap naman ng pakiramdam na meron ka ng matatawag na sariling sayo,sa sariling pag sisikap mo,Congrats mommy badet! Godbless and your wonderful family!
Gwen looks excited to movie in! Yahoo! Excited na rin kami sa house warming party!
That’s quite a move! Magiging south-based ka na pala.
Congratulations! How exciting! Pero ang layo ang tinalon niyo ha haha! From North to South. I’m familiar with Cavite, went to university there. 🙂
Anyway, dapat naman talaga metikuloso lalo sa inyo ang house, haha. mas nakakatamad maging detalyado when it’s not yours.
I can relate much. If you are building ako naman in the process of renovating and repairing. Owning a house is such a huge responsibilty but seeing your efforst (and money) afterwards is really rewarding. Good luck and tell us about it once done.
From North to South!
Budget aaaargh!
We also have a townhouse in Cavite! Making renovations is really stressful I can relate. Pareho tayo ng ginawa sa partitions. My hubby is the one doing the construction kasi may background sya sa paggawa ng mga bahay. We didn’t move in yet, but we have it rented muna. Mahirap nga andame mong decisions na kelangan gawin. But I hope in time makalipat din kame dun. Baka magkita tayo jan somewhere in Cavite kapag nakalipat na din kame.
Congrats to your new house 🙂 I have a lot in Cavite pero still saving for the dream house
