Our house is a tiny two-bedroom house, with a small front garden and a side garage and a balcony. Tiny but it suits us, who initially just wanted a room to go home to.
For the first two times of being home, Adrian and i would rent a condo unit. Just some personal space for him as he feels embarrassed staying at Mama's and Papa's then small house in Linao. Adrian doesn't mind staying at another person's house, but if it has to be in a week, it would be too much tiptoeing for him. I didn't understand that then, because obviously, my parents' house are my parents house, but now i understand him why.
When were there, we like it better when we have people sleeping in the guest room, we normally have my sister over, or my mama, or brothers. We love a house filled with people.
Adrian brought up the topic about our little house today when we were having lunch. How we were lucky to have decided to buy one. Eventhough we have to pay monthly upkeep for the community rates, gardener and such, we were lucky too that the house was fronting a little hill, which they are not putting houses in. As its a subdivision, the houses are quite close to one another, at least were not looking at someone's house. We were lucky alone on that. We are lucky that when papa died, we didn't have to ask people to rush and book condo units for us and we have that extra feeling of home (more for him than me, really) away from home. (I must admit, when i went home on my own, i didn't stay in our house, i stayed at mama's house which was really a great decision).
We miss our house. Not because of the house itself. We miss it because everytime we remember it, we remember it fondly ,full of love and all the parties, the gatherings and the people who come and drop by our little abode, and the many more wonderful years Adrian and i are planning to make in it.
and when were in cebu, you are definitely welcome to come and drop by.

That's a lovely little house, cozy. A big house has a tendency to feel cold - this one is warm. Yes you are very lucky to have a place to go home to.
Ate lou, i think we would have loved a bigger space if we could afford it that time, but thats the best our money could buy without going thru mortage applications,hehe..were glad we got it. we couldnt have bought it now=)
