A Birthday Present for Me

This came yesterday.


This 3 piece sofa set is a birthday gift from me, to me. Hehe.

I’ve been renting for quite some time now, but this is the first piece of furniture I bought for this apartment. This year, I made it my goal to finally start making our apartment look like a home. If I wait until I get my very own house, it may never happen.

It started when our washing machine broke down a few months ago. I bought a replacement right away, and then decided to finally satisfy my frequent popcorn craving by picking up a microwave oven. I've been holding off on getting a microwave for years because I had no rack. Thank goodness Denver got us one, or else it would find its home on an old wooden chair.

I think this project really started after our property hunting phase. I realized that part of wanting our own home was the little comforts that came with it.

Recently, we had our bathroom floor retiled and the toilet replaced. Its smaller than ever and still far from being a nice looking bathroom, but it is way more decent than how it was before we renovated.

My next project is to replace the bathroom door. When I’ve paid off my sofa, I think I'll either replace the dining table and chairs, or work on the floors.

haha. pwede! pero hindi pa presentable. hehe. still needs a lot of work at ang nanay ko ayaw pa din mag let go sa mga lumang gamit namin. our apartment looks more like a bodega sa dami ng lumang gamit at boxes!

Kaya pala absent ka TL for two days. Nagkasakit ka siguro sa kakabuhat ng bago mong sala set. He he.
