Home Spacious Home
Maximizing the space of our 45 sqm house is such a tough job. We just can’t purchase large furnitures anymore because we are already running out of ideas on where we are going to put this and that. Truth is, I don’t really know if we can call it a house. I think it’s more of a room. My parents’ plan was to buy a bigger house once me and my siblings have already finished college but dad passed away two years before my graduation so the plan to get a housing loan through PAGIBIG was put on hold. Even though my brother and I are already working, we still have to think about a lot of things. Besides, houses in Manila are very expensive and we never wanted to live in Cavite or Laguna or Bulacan. I’m not saying that those places are ugly. It’s just not practical to commute everyday because our jobs are based here in Manila. Going back to my “spacing” problem, I’m considering of buying on wall speakers. Every New Year’s Eve, it is a tradition here in Tondo to be as noisy as you can. We have a superstitious belief that this will drive bad luck away. And since we don’t have speakers, we use kitchen utensils to create noise. It’s fun but next year, it would be better if we’re going to have our own speakers. I want something that is inexpensive, with high quality, and will only require minimal space.
