Moving Out, Moving On

Last Friday was my moving out day from Prince Tower. I’ve decided not to renew my contract of lease anymore to pursue my moving on plans. Of course it’s not easy; Prince Tower was my home for more than a year and I have already grown attached to my unit. Despite its cute size, I always felt comfortable, not to mention safe and secure during my stay there. It is also where I experienced to be truly independent. I never knew that I could really, actually live on my own, as in alone. Kaya ko pala! It was truly a character building experience.

Some of the things that I’ll surely miss about condo living are the following:

- Convenience of the condo from the office. I can practically wake up at 7:30 AM and still make it in the office by 8:30 AM. At the same time, overtime and overnight activities are not a problem since I can safely walk the streets of Valero and Tordesillas without thinking of any lurking holduppers and snatchers. Oh well, time to say hello again to the FX, bus and the MRT. Also time to put my driving skills to good use.

- Impromptu shopping, gimmicks, dinners, movies and meet ups. Since travel time to Valenzuela takes about 2 hours, now, traffic and travel arrangements would have to be considered for any gimmick plans.

- KFC and 7-11. These two establishments kept me nourished for more than a year. The extra pounds can definitely be blamed on my Hot and Crispy Chicken and Mashed Potato nightly dinners.

- Star World, Lifestyle Channel and Velvet Channel. I’ll surely miss these channels since Destiny; our cable provider in Valenzuela doesn’t carry these channels.

- The kind Manongs and Admin Personnel of Prince Tower. They are all very approachable and always willing to help.

To be honest, I have not fully absorbed my new arrangement just yet. It would take a while before I can fully adjust again to waking up at 4:30 AM, commuting and driving to Makati. But it’s all good. I welcome the change as I prepare myself to the bigger challenges that lie ahead.

goodbye, unit 1001!
