I did it!  I signed off on an offer to buy my own place.  Its not yet done and will be turned over to me in 2009 but just knowing that makes me proud that I’m going to be owning my own place.

I will be buying a mid-rise condo unit very near the Fort’s Global City.  The price is reasonable, the amenities are great, the developer is reliable and my real estate agent is a friend.  I signed off on a unit on the fifth floor (top most) but its not fronting the community’s ammenities so I asked my friend, the real estate agent to let me know how much the a 3-bedroom unit fronting amenities will be on the new building that’s just going to be open for pre-selling.

I will be gathering all the necessary documents on Monday and then everything will be on its way.  Money will be a bit tight until May 2009 but I think (I hope) I can manage it.  So no more giving in to temptations that shoes and bags and clothes.  No more giving in to temptations on office supplies too.  Yes, I get tempted to stock up on post-its, pens, folders, etc.  Yes, a trip to the office supply store can be tempting to me.  I feel the need to have office supplies in abundance, even if I do get my fill of office supplies (for my use in the office) from the office supply.  Ewan ko ba - addiction na yata ‘to.

Speaking of pens, I have this feeling that sometimes when I’m trying to get a grip on the many things going on in the office, I feel the need to get a new pen.  Mostly Parker pens, gel ink.  I dunno if you can call it an addiction already but I think its just a way my mind thinks will help me cope.  I don’t give in to it all the time but sometimes… well, the pens do look nice and I’m still looking for my perfect pen (I have a little pen thing going on).  I do think its just a coping mechanism for me… like having a good pen makes me look in control (I don’t know if this makes sense, the psych major in me is going into overdrive).

So anyway, I AM GOING TO HAVE MY OWN PLACE! Woohooooooo!!!

I’m not going to think of how I’m going to decorate it yet, not just yet.  I’m going to do the numbers again just to make sure that I don’t surprise myself with the bills.   But wooohooooo!!!!
