Our Unfinished House in Laguna Philippines

Not all of my friends and readers know that I went to work in Angola when I was young as 21 years of age! I was the youngest employee in our company's history (ITM Mining Ltd), while in fact, everybody used to call me as "bunso" (meaning little sister or youngest sister of everybody at work!)... But it was 9 years ago, I am close to a calendar end now! LOL....

In my first 4 years of working, I managed to send my two sisters in university up until they were finished! Moreover, I decided to acquire a house and lot in Binan Laguna (as investment at Evergreen Subd.) at the same time. However, by the time I decided to give it a go, the agent who was dealing with it who happened to become my friend in the end, convinced me to buy the EMPTY LOT beside the HOUSE & LOT offer (it should have been another house if only someone have had bought it). It was a last minute decision while the paper works of the first one was on the process, and without having a second thought I BOUGHT IT TOO.As shown on photos, I decided to consolidate the two properties (total of 160 sq. meters) into one and set a gate to secure, plus another 3 meters extension to the house itself!... It used to be just a plain 60 sq mtr floor area house (2 bedroom, with kitchen-dining and living room in one phase, a garage and provision for laundry or dirty kitchen at the back), small wasn't it?
Now, it has converted into a 3 bedroom house and a separate dining room and a big living room, with a big kitchen at the back!Mind you the house was finished and ready for occupancy for about 4 years back then, but I didn't bother to make any plans at all because I was very very disappointed the way it was constructed for the total acquisition cost + interest after 10 years of payment scheme!

In short, I am paying more than enough to have a two-storey house (3-4 bedroom house) with garage and big garden, if only I had cash back then!

Off the record, I have been renting an apartment in Pasay for almost 10 yrs!!!.... until my sisters have finally moved in to this house last week. I didn't have the photographs of the finished one yet, but will post them as soon as I have.

By the way, perhaps you would wonder why on earth I have a color green house LOL... To be honest with you, I don't like it either - but this was the developer's choice of color! Actually, they had CREAM and GREEN, but I didn't really know the color until it was finished! SO, I HAD NO CHOICE AT ALL, and we all have to live with it to the fullest!
