Rent To Own

Renting a home at the start of your marriage was quite a nice idea. This is a sign of independence from each other’s family and you’ll have experiences of really running your own home. Managing your own home makes you learn a lot of things such as budgeting your money, learning household chores, emotional maturity and handling the whole household. This will also prepare couples when they decide to purchase their dream home in the next future. Every family would want a house of their own because you can’t be satisfied renting a house the whole of your life so it’s nice to break free from the rental cycle and own a house.

Home ownership is one of the dreams of almost every family where you can start building your dreams for your children, where you can spend your free time with them; share their laughter, tears and life’s special moments. But owning a house is not that easy, you have to qualify for a bank loan or you have to prepare a considerable amount of deposit for a home loan. Now achieving your dream on owning a house is not that far with Rent to Own concept which is perfectly suited for home buyers who got tired of rental cycle and want to own a home of their own. They offer a plan to help you own your home without taking on debt.

Rent to own lets you choose plan in which you can rent and purchase later or just rent without buying the property. It enables buyers to try before they buy and if they decide to purchase, the property price is the initial rental agreement, and a great benefit to buyers as the property value is the same price when they initially moved in, no interest or rate increase. If the buyer doesn’t want to purchase the house they’re renting they can just rent or move elsewhere without any obligation. When it comes to initial deposit I can say that it’s very affordable as you didn’t have to prepare big amount of deposit, big advantage for those who can’t afford massive deposit. Owning a house is not that hard anymore with Rent to Own real estate techniques to assist home buyers in achieving their dream of owning a house of their own.

Travel To Tagaytay

Early dawn at 3:30am we've packed everything listed on my summer camp list of things to bring and made sure that we didn't forgot anything for our 2-day stay in Tagaytay. As we were finishing arranging things on the car's compartment we received text message from our brothers that they've arrived already at our meeting place at Julio Vargas Pasig City, they came from Fairview and we've agreed to have a convoy travel up to Tagaytay City to ensure safer travel and backup if something happens.

We arrived and met them after 10 minutes and started the 2-hour travel to our camp site. We've missed the South Expressway entry to Carmona and entered instead to Mamplasan losing our convoy and just informed them through text that we'll just follow them. It's dark on the road and we're on a strange village, got some eerie feeling as we asked for our way back to South Expressway and to Carmona Entry. Finally we're set on our original way via Carmona, GMA, Cavite, Dasmariñas and Tagaytay City. We've encountered slight shower rains along the road and that brought some fog inside our car and since it's very dark we just took our travel on a slower pace but nevertheless reaching our destination before the sun shines. As you can see our shot here of Tagaytay City early morning of March 20 around 6am, beautiful sight indeed!

My Dear Friend Meline

I was wondering this week why I'm not receiving any text from Meline and because I know that she's sick I'm not expecting a daily message from her as she always does. Meline will not pass a day without a text message for me; it's her daily routine - to text inspiring messages to her closest friends. Actually I've been thinking again of her text 3 weeks ago - "Thank you for the friendship that we shared, my life was happy because you've been a part of it, sorry for any shortcoming that I've done as a friend. I will treasure our friendship our friendship even to the next life". It suddenly occurred to me that day that her text message seem like a farewell text, it actually chilled me. Why? Because Meline was diagnosed two years ago that she had a breast cancer, she has undergone series of chemotherapy and it seemed like the treatment had done her good but after a year she's started to lose hair and weight. We didn't know that her doctor honestly told her last October 2007 that her cancer is incurable and has only 6 months to live. She kept it to herself and she maintained a happy outlook in life, her text was always so sweet, endearing and inspiring and sometimes with a light humor. You wouldn't think that she's facing the end of her life then. We were actually planning a lunch or dinner date because it's been a long time since we've seen each other, the only way we're bonded is through mobile phone. I’m a little sad that dinner date was never scheduled.

I learned Meline's condition from DSI, Ma'am Billie knowing that we've been good friends asked one employee there to inform me that Meline passed away already. She learned it from her friend, Meline’s employer in Classic Confections, she didn't stopped working even if she knows that her body is in a bad condition. Meline is really like that, you wouldn't find her sulking and thinking about her problem and sickness, she's a brave girl always. She's taught me a lot in the field where I am now, my course and my job was too far from what my boss assigned me 5 years ago but Meline assisted and trained me in all aspects of Accounting, so after nearly two years of being together in BT&T Accounting Dept. she returned to being fulltime in Classic Confections leaving me with one accounting staff to help me in handling Accounting department. The position was quite far from my education and work experience having taken Computer Engineering in college and handled technical proposal for 10 years. I wasn't prepared and educated for the position but Meline was there for me and now she's gone I can never thank her enough for the friendship, care and time that she's given me. I will miss her name and her daily text in my mobile. I will miss my friend and her caring thoughts but I'm happy that she's not in pain now. May God bless her.

Flowers For You!

A wonderful way to express your love to someone special is through flowers as they always quote ‘say it with flowers’. There are many connotations of flower and most often according to kind and colors. When my husband courted me he used to give me red long-stemmed roses which signify love and respect. We were friends then and I was actually waiting what kind and color of flower will he give me because if he gave me yellow roses back then maybe I would think that he only see me as a good friend because it signifies friendship. Finally when the time came for my answer to his proposal he picked a single white rose, it’s very significant back then as I see white rose as symbol of love worthiness and I felt very happy to know that I’m worthy of his love.

There’s a lot more you can do with flowers, you can express your gratitude and sympathy, offer thanksgiving, congratulate a newlywed couples, boost morale, greet birthday celebrants and make your partner felt the romance of your love relationship.
