back!

Posted on August 19, 2007

Yep, I'm back! How I missed blogging… so let me make a short update of how the week-long move went.

Despite my apprehensions on how the actual move will go, everything went almost smoothly. Since the house we will be moving in is just a few minutes from school, we were able to bring several boxes every time Ramil and I went to work. By Thursday, we were frantically trying to finish packing all the small things that were still scattered all over the house.

I actually called up several moving trucks in order to compare their rates. I was able to tentatively set a schedule with one of them pending my confirmation two days before. However, when I tried calling them to confirm, all I got was a wrong number. So I opted to set a schedule with a different moving truck. I told them to be in our house by 9 am that Saturday. I was so surprised when at 8 am, a truck stopped in front of our house. I thought, wow they are prompt! Then I discovered that they were the first truck that I called, the one I couldn't contact anymore. I had to call the other one to cancel lest we end up with two moving trucks!

Thankfully, we and all our things arrived at the house undamaged. My mama was a little impressed with the house we moved into. They stayed for the whole day and helped us put some of things in their proper places. The kitchen was organized in no time at all thanks to my mama.

I initially thought we would spend another week unpacking all our stuff. Good thing it took us just two days. We still have two boxes left though. We're still thinking where else to put the contents.

We spent a blissful first week in the house. The storm allowed us to stay home and enjoy all the comforts it has to offer. Even Mateo seems to prefer this house.

I've been itching to go online so I can write some posts and grab some dollar opps. Hehe! Unfortunately, our application for the relocation of our SmartBro subscription took more than a week! It finally got installed last Thursday night and I was so eager to start earning some dollars again.
