“
Home is where you can be silent and still be heard..
When
you can ask and find out who you are..
Where
people laugh with you about yourself..
Where
sorrow is divided and joy multiplied..
Where
we share and love and grow..”
“Bless this house as we come and go
Bless this house as the children grow
Bless our families when they gather in
Bless this house with love and friends.”
Weehh..
I’m so excited to write this post, because it’s all about our home sweet home! Actually,
this is not our OWN, we just rent it. Probably and Hopefully by next year we
will start investing our money to buy a new home that we can call our OWN!
Medyo nagbabayad pa kami ng mga kautangan namin.. Haha.
So
for now, Ian and I really enjoy our home. It’s full of love, excitement,
adventure, kulitan and lambingan mode, etc.. I
got this quote from Sarah Ban Breathnach “Be grateful for the home you
have, knowing that at this moment, all you have is all you need.”
We’re turning
three months this October and I’m so proud to say that we already invested some
major furniture and fixtures for our home. At least ngayon, masasabi ko na
talaga na amin yun, and galing yun sa pinaghirapan namin! It’s so overwhelming
when people say that they admire us because we had the right decision to live
on our own, be independent and start our own family together. At first, it’s so
hard because we need a lot of money for the rent, for the furniture, for weekly
grocery, for the utilities bill, etc. but you know what, I believe that God
help us to achieve our simple dream.
Before our
wedding, we already decided to leave Manila (Ian’s home-place for almost 20
years) and transfer to Makati then right after our wedding day, every night we
talked about our plans in life. We resided at Manila for one month and on September 1, 2012, we finally move-in at Makati.
Our first
investment is Washing Machine, we purchased it 3 days after our wedding, why
washing machine? Because we knew that after our honeymoon trip in Singapore and Malaysia, we
will have lots of dirty clothes that need to wash-out, medyo tinatamad lang
maglaba.. Haha. But of course, nakalutang pa utak namin from wedding and
honeymoon db?!
Then this week, while
having dinner I noticed that we already have Refrigerator, TV, DVD, Sofa,
Computer Table, Cabinet, Mattress, etc. Wow!
I can’t believe it! I even cried out when I saw our home. I was so happy and
everyday, I want to go home early, relax at the living room while watching our
favorite teleserye. We can do whatever we want to do and not to be anxious
about something. In our home my heart can laugh without shyness and this is
also where my heart’s tears can dry at its own pace.
So here are some
pictures of our so called “Home Sweet Home”

Prayer for the Home
By: Edgar Guest
________________________________________
Peace, unto this house, I pray,
Keep terror and despair away;
Shield it from evil and let sin
Never find lodging room within.
May never in these walls be heard
The hateful or accusing word.
Grant that its warm and mellow light
May be to all a beacon bright,
A flaming symbol that shall stir
The beating pulse of him or her
Who finds this door and seems to say,
"Here end the trials of the day."
Hold us together, gentle Lord,
Who sit about this humble board;
May we be spared the cruel fate
Of those whom hatreds separate;
Here let love bind us fast, that we
May know the joys of unity.
Lord, this humble house we'd keep
Sweet with play and calm with sleep.
Help us so that we may give
Beauty to the lives we live.
Let Thy love and let Thy grace
Shine upon our dwelling place.
I believe that
there’s no place like home, because it is my safety harbor from the storm, my
cozy haven safe and warm and of course no matter where I choose to roam,
there’s just no other place like home.
And lastly, having someplace to go is home,
having someone to love is family and having both is a blessing.
Note: Still under
renovation and bongang bongang makeover.. Hehe..
