Mr. New House

This is mr. New House.

We moved here more than a week ago.

Our old house is way too, er, unpretty for me to post a photo of it here. Well in the first place I don't think I've taken a picture of it in our very nearly five years there.

May 6, I was awakened at 4 in the morning by my cousin. She was alarmed. Water was gushing out of the wall of one side of our house in random spots. It felt so weird and unreal at first, opening my eyes to see the ordeal. The floor was all wet, and almost every single thing on the floor got wet too. Of course we couldn't get back to sleep in the fear of waking up swimming... eh. Anyway so we had to stop the water from overflowing all around the little house we were in. That ate up our precious time.

The walls of that house weren't finished though they were painted (pink, if you'd ask). Add to that the fact that ours is beside a taller, just recently upsized house. The unfinished wall had these little holes, something like those created in between hollow blocks. That's where the water would spring out.

We immediately decided we've endured enough. The house was too small in the first place. Plus we've repaired a lot (and thus spent a lot) to make living conditions there bearable. We were finally convinced we were moving that very day.

That was our last night in that house. Morning of May 7, we woke up in this house, amidst all the mess that our hurriedly transferred humble things have made. Little by little we fixed up a few things here and there, arranged things, had the walls repainted, and voila! Better shelter.

That goes without saying that I am happy with this new abode. See that spot where the PC is? That's where I am typing this.

Have a good day.

PS.
That early morning water-from-the-wall flood incident seems to be a blessing in disguise after all. As I called it, "a sign."
And we found out that the mysterious water that plagued not only us, but a couple others, came from a broken pipeline underneath the very house beside ours. Yes, the upsized one. They got it all fixed now, but we wouldn't move back there just the same. Eh.
