Asiawealth Tower

White tables... gone... black metal folding chairs... gone... closet... gone... all sold. Next weekend my TV set and personal ref will be picked up. Now i can really feel that my days in this condominium unit are almost over. Just a little over a week from now, i head up to Baguio to bond with my family and friends before i move to the United States to start a whole new life.

I remember the day when i saw this unit. I was with my broker. And as soon as i stepped into this place i knew this would be my home during my days in Manila. It was newly painted, all white. It was big enough to fit an individual. I felt the excitement of living alone for the first time, to feel the independence. To have the feel of decorating it the way i want it. I truly enjoyed the ammenities this place had to offer. During my masters days i would swim in the pool at 7am every other day. I would also spend quite a few times in the sauna and the gym. Since i didn't get an airconditioner, staying in this unit in the middle of the day would even serve as a sauna. :)

I got myself into painting in the first few months of my independent living. I felt the joys of just lounging around watching tv and snacking on junk food. I came home anytime i wanted. But of course it wasn't all fun all the time, bills had to be paid. This is the place where i learned to be independent and learned more on the value of money.

I look around this place and see the material things i was able to buy through the months. It makes me realize that one of my dreams had come true. It gets me emotional to think that i have to let all of these go. My hard earned money was put into these. But amidst all that emotion, i feel this happiness deep inside that there is a BIG reason why i have to let them all go. :)

And as i sit here thinking of all the things i have to do before i give this up, i also just smile at the thought of the day i will soon be in the arms of my love of my life... very soon.
