"Gusto ko ng bagong bahay na nakatitolo sa aking pangalan. Ano'ng masama don? Hindi masama ang mangarap."
Above is from an OPM song "Kayod". I don't know if that's the title of that song but KAYOD was repeated numerous times, so I assumed that that was the title. I use to hear that in the radio and sing a long with it. Yup, I'm "promdi" like that. Haha.
For a typical OFW, one of our dreams is to buy and own a home. Four years ago, I spent 1.3M for a tinsy townhouse in Mactan, Cebu. I was 23 years old back then. It was a big deal for me and I was so excited. It wasn't easy for me to save that amount of money.I was in an instant noodle diet for a longest time prior to buying a house. This house isn't big but the important thing is it's mine.
Thank God for the ability and the opportunity to do wealth.

DeleteI'm still 19 but i'm dreaming of buying a house and be independent. This post really pushes me to make this dream come true. If u dont mind, I really wonder because u already bought a house at age of 23 and at that age i will be just graduating. Did u buy your house at installment basis or in cash?
ReplyDeleteHey, I got it in cash, I was already abroad back then.
DeleteGood luck on your "being independent" goal. You'll get there, I'm sure. The bigger the want, the bigger the chance that it will happen.
One of my favorite posts :) Nakakainspire
