Finding The Rhythm

I'm finally living alone, really alone for the first time in my life. I wanted this since a long time ago, since I couldn't find peace at my old house with my parents. Now, I live at my own apartment, a small and comfortable place for me. The size is perfect for me. A place I call "home".

Finding the rhythm of life is a never ending process. Till now, I haven't find the perfect rhythm. My time management is not good, diving time between office hour and house work hour, also finding a time for "me" time still in a mess. A friend of mine said how difficult it is for him to do his house work in weekdays. Now I can understand the difficulty. Sometimes the work at office already tiring and it effect on the mood of doing house work. I understand now...

So far this is the time management I use: in the morning, I wake up early to prepare my breakfast, clean the bed and furniture. In the evening, I sweep and mop the floor, do the laundry (washing and ironing), and prepare my dinner.

Thanks to my mom for the frozen food she prepared for me when she comes to visit, I need no worry about my meals. Thanks to Blue Jasmine for her laundry business that help me with my laundry. Thanks to Nit2x who sometimes help me with house work. It is a pleasure to have all of you in my life.

Like I said before, finding the rhythm of life is a never ending process. I hope in the future I can find a better rhythm in life. I like my life now and really enjoy it.

In Search of A House

For all this time my family lives at a house that provided by my dad's company as his facility for certain position. We are very grateful for this blessing as for more than 20 years we live freely at that house.The time finally comes for us to move from the house as my dad relocation to another city. The company gives us to move maximum by the end of May. I live at the house with a maid & a dog.

Actually it wouldn't be a problem for me cause I have bought an apartment, but... The apartment's rule state no pet allowed! Discussing this problem with my parents. First solution was to give the dog to my brother who rented a house. Second solution was to bring the dog to my home town to stay with my mom. Third solution was to rent another house for me and rent out my apartment.

First solution was rejected by my brother due his upcoming baby this end of May. Second solution was rejected by my mom cause the dog will limit her flexibility to travel around (she lives by herself at my home town, sometimes she travels to visit me or my dad). So, I search for a house (third solution).

In search for the house, wow! It wasn't easy at all. Looking at the ads in the newspaper, asking friends help, searching at the internet, driving around the neighborhood (thanks to Blue Jasmine, Nit2x, Dominick, Wena, Yung Fat, Pak Estiko, Pak Frans and Ce Ira ) ... I think I've done everything. I visited the houses, some has a very bad condition, only a few has good condition. As for a bad condition, I really couldn't believe that there are many houses being abandon with such condition. The price of a house isn't cheap at all, why do they leave it like that? (Wondering....)

The final decision has not being made yet. This problem gives me a lot of stress. Finally found a nice house with a affordable and reasonable price but my parents start to have another thought. (Sigh!...) One minute they said okay, rent the house. Another minute they said they want to bring the dog to home town. Gosh! When will they make up their mind?

Right now, I just wish that I have enough money to buy a house and the problem will be solve. Harry Potter... I think I need your magic wand... LOL...
