Our New Home

Yesterday was truly a memorable one because our very first home was turned over to us. We were tired because it was a long day for us, but as the day came to a close, there was still so much energy in us.

After sending out the invitations to our sponsors and relatives, we went straight to Rustan’s to buy some items...

Curtains
Our furniture will be delivered this Friday, and Enrique thought that we should go buy some curtains so that the windows will be covered (building of Tower 2 is in progress). We headed straight to Rustan’s, were we chose the very first curtains that we will use. Apparently, the consigner will be on sale from Thursday until Friday, and so we decided to just reserve the curtains (the saleslady suggested it!) and buy them the next day. Hehehe.

We also checked out some other furniture and items that we can buy or include in our Registry, but ended up looking at Christmas décor…. This is such an exciting time for us… First home, first Christmas as a couple! Enrique had to practically drag me out so that we can go to the grocery and buy...

Rice, Salt and Sugar
According to Enrique’s mother, there is a superstition that says that the very first things that should be brought to a new home are rice, salt and sugar. And so we went to the grocery and bought these 3 items, plus more! I could really tell Enrique was really excited, as he kept on buying things that were not really needed immediately: tabo (he still wants to have one), soy sauce, pepper, cooking oil, bathroom tissues, junk food, etc. It’s ok though, I didn’t complain!


We then went to his house and ate dinner first before going to the unit. We also decided to bring the appliances we got for free whenever we went to Duty Free: BBQ grill, teppanyaki grill, pressure cooker, dinner set, etc. We kept in mind however that the rice, salt, and sugar should be the first to be brought inside. And so we did.

It was such a wonderful feeling entering the unit together. We were so happy and so excited. Exhausted because of the long day, but still. Enrique commented that we should’ve brought champagne to celebrate the day. We should’ve thought of that earlier! But anyway, I suggested that we go down to the small shop and buy one. Too bad there wasn’t any, so we just settled for 2 bottles of Vodka Ice. Hehehe.



Create Your Own
I’m really so happy that in less than a month’s time, we will be living together in this lovely little place we call our love nest (hehehe, cheesy I know). I thank the Lord God for making all these possible and for all His blessings to us. Now, I can’t wait to start a new life with my greatest love...
