Goodbye, 1101

Finally, we were able to move in to our new place. We don’t have much stuff/equipment/appliances but for some reason, it took us four back-and-forth trips using our neighbor’s FX to transfer everything to the new place. Well, good thing is, it’s all over.

Last Sunday, we spent the night just chatting about our experiences from our old place in QC. We lived there for a decade. Yes, a decade… a decade worth of memories –- proximity to Sarah’s (some of you are probably aware how important this place is especially to students like I once was), UP Acad Oval, the infamous UP Lagoon and Sunken Garden, Dencio’s at Capitol Hills, and so many good places... and good memories. I am happy with the new place that we have now. It’s closer to our (mine, my sibs’) offices and closer to malls (woohoo!). But I have to admit: the hassle of moving your things is something you won’t really like. We needed to disassemble computer tables (we have two), pack dozens of books and CDs/DVDs, untangle wirings. And  believe it or not, common household tools are not enough; we had to borrow more complicated power tools and hardware from our neighbor! OK, that’s an exaggeration, but it was really, really so tiring.

But again, as I’ve mentioned already, it’s all over. Oh, and yesterday, my brother bought a two-meter cable for the TV antenna, and when we hooked it up to the existing antenna line, we were so surprised the line is cable TV ready -- as in. Haha! (I’m not just sure if they are going to disconnect it anytime soon. I really hope they won’t.)

(By the way, we don’t have Internet connection yet, that’s why I am not so Web-active lately. :-) )

It's tiring to pack and unpack. And that you'll miss the old place occasionally. Invite us to house warming ha? =)

i'm kinda sad that you moved. where would i sleep now when I'm in UP? haha. seriously, it felt good to live in a university area. but things change, and it's better not to live in a commercial area. haha.
