A House not a Home

When I was single I had no directions in life. I liked being anywhere but not in my apartment. Every vacations I stayed at my friends house or be in some place with a group of friends. Sounds like a homebody kind of person but not in my own home lol. When i got older(28yrs old) and most of my friends got married I decided to get a house in Deca Homes Minglanilla Cebu. It was a 2 story duplex house. I loaned it through pag-ibig for 15 years, it was a bad decissions according to my friends and family. I paid the whole equity, and that stop me from backing out and gave this thing up. I had all the appliances and furniture like a typical filipino house. Marriage didn't occur in mind at that time, in fact I was thinking of staying single for the rest of my life. So, getting a house would be good thing, and my family has a place to stay when they go to cebu. For the first few months I came home early from work, stayed home most of the time. My sisters lived with me and helped a little with the monthly mortgaged. But Like we all knew, "the only permanent in this world is change", to cut the story short I did change my mind, after a year of living there and almost 2 years of paying the monthly mortgage, I got tired of such responsiblity and obligations. I gave up my house, stop paying the monthly mortgage, sold all my stuff except the refridgerator and TV, and went back renting an apartment. With my impulssive attitude, I left the house in just a blink of an eye. They gave me noticed after 3 to 5 months of not paying the monthly before they will evict the house. If your single it's a bad idea to get a house especially if you can't keep up with the responsiblity and obligations. Afterall that house wasn't the home I wanted to have, things changed I felt alone living there, and I am just human I was wrong I need someone to share life with. I had great memory with that house, i missed it. My friends who are still living in that neighborhood told me that those fruit trees that I planted in front were start bearing fruits. And they missed me in there. After a year, I met my hubby, came here, quit my job, got married, got prego, and got a family. It was a fast forward changes in my life. Now we are renting an apartment, no house yet I felt like maybe this is a karma for me waaaboo!. Well, atleast now I have a home and a family of my own. I wish we will get a house soon.
