We’re finally out of the Airbnb and settling into our new home. Kahit medyo matindi pa yung amoy ng pintura the first few days at wala kaming kagamit-gamit, being here brought us comfort. It immediately felt like home 😌 Dati hindi ko pa ina-acknowledge yung notion of buying a house. After reading some articles about renting vs buying, sabi ko kay Kenneth noon mag-rent na lang kami forever. Mas nakikita ko yung bahay as a liability, rather than an investment. Pero nung na-sense ko kay Kenneth na gusto nya talaga, I welcomed the idea. At ngayong tumitira na kami dito, I’m thankful for Kenneth’s insistence. Sobrang excited namin about anything house related. Every new thing na nadadagdag sa bahay, big or small, nakakakilig.

These past few days have been uncomfortable. I can’t wait to move into our permanent home. The cats are obviously uncomfortable too. I feel their uneasiness. We’re currently staying at an Airbnb which is a basement unit, so they don’t get to see any sunlight and can’t do their usual people and car watching from the windows. I feel bad. Don’t worry kitties. One more day! Although the first few days in the new place are guaranteed to be chaos with all the home organization and setup we need to do. All this moving really messed up with my system, and this dingy basement with all the artificial lights isn’t helping perk up my mood. I sure hope this will all be worth it.

I hate utang. Kaya ilang weeks na kong hindi mapakali na hindi ako nakapag-post nung nakaraang week. Marahil wala namang nakapansin, pero hindi ako matatahimik knowing na meron akong utang sa inyo. Sobrang busy lang kasi talaga nung mga nakaraang linggo. Speaking of mga utang-utang, I have a few thoughts about this.
Allergic ako sa utang. Ang isa pa kong allergic, fees and interest rates. Pero sa utang muna tayo. Siguro isa sa mga maa-apprecite ng mga kaibigan ko sakin, hindi ko ugaling mangutang. Kung mangutang man ako (which is very very rare), hindi mo ako kailangang singilin. Pag sinabi kong ganitong date, areglado ang bayad ko.

Isa lang ang nasa checklist ko for this year’s birthday:
I celebrated my birthday in a new place! Our new home. Ugh sobrang excited kong makakita ulit ng bundok. Pumunta kaming Banff ngayon and I can’t believe na 1.5-hour drive na lang ang Banff mula sa bahay namin. Bukambibig ko kay Kenneth few weeks ago na maiiyak talaga ko pag nakakita ako ng rocky mountains sa birthday ko. Hindi ko na kailangang pigilan ang aking tears of joy. Yung first time ko kasing makita yung rocky mountains last year, kasama namin ang parents at kapatid ni Kenneth, so nahiya ako at pinigilan ko yung luha ko hehe. Baka sabihin naman nila para kong tanga. Pero sabi ko ngayon, kung maiyak man ako, I will wholeheartedly let myself. Hindi naman ako naiyak, but I got super teary eyed.

The month of November was our last official month in Winnipeg. We were making the most out of our last few weeks pero hindi pa rin talaga natatapos ang kabusy-han. Ang dami pang kelangan gawin.
Ambilis. One week na lang nasa Calgary na kami. AGGHHHH!!

To soothe my anxious heart:
