What happened to the sprawling 1000 square meter property with a two-storey six-room house we saw previously? Ha! Rene was concerned that it might be pitch black at night, and with it being located quite far from the main road, we might be isolated and helpless during an emergency. Emergencies will include break-ins, accidents and wild animals like the small cobra that was caught last night around here.
Also, the caretaker is a "manghuhula", "manghihilot" and an "albulario" and Mama was concerned that it might be a bit too spooky for comfort.
But tomorrow, February 25, I am meeting with a very nice old lady. She is a widow, has grandchildren, and does not look like she is well into her 70's. I am meeting her to give her two month's deposit for the rent of a small house and lot that Rene found last week. He feels more comfortable with this one, and to him, feels just like our home in Manila.
The property is located in a small, quiet, gated, guarded subdivision that even has a small chapel in it. It has friendly neighbors and cute houses all around. Very simple and homey. There is public transport that passes in front of the main gate. It is ten minutes to the market, ten minutes to the church, and fifteen minutes to the kids' school and Rene's workplace. And the best part is that we have the first option to purchase the house as tenants - That little detail in our wish list was left out in the previous property we saw.
The small 100 square meter bungalow sits on a 300 square meter lot with a calamansi tree, a kasuy tree, a guava tree and a malunggay tree. The bungalow has a two bedrooms, a spacious kitchen, and a good-sized living area.
Our big house with the Arts &Crafts Room, Music Room, and Elise's Studio Unit shall have to wait. Now, it's just time to give the kids their own private spaces, for me to have my heart's desire of a proper kitchen and cook nutritious meals for my family, have a small home office, and host grandparents, uncles, aunts, little cousins and babies from Manila for weeks at a time, and not just a few days.
We're getting settled.
