The flat we’re living in has unfortunately been sold. The agent gave us 5 weeks to move out. 5 effing weeks! How can we find a decent place in 5 weeks? Argh! House is the most expensive thing here in NZ. To have a decent home these days will cost us 350,000 to 600,000 NZ dollars. It is real investment I know but to pay that will take us 30 blood-sweating years. That’s why not many people here buy houses. Most people rent, like we do. But seeing the price range of houses for rent these days make us think twice. They are around 300 to 400 NZ dollars A WEEK! Renting is dead money. You just help the owners of the property pay their mortgage. So maybe it’ll be more practical to just add few more hundreds on our weekly rent budget and invest it on a house instead. Sigh. 5 weeks is too short to decide on something like this. Argh. There’s a lot to consider. The budget, the house, the location, the timing. Sigh.

Ang tatanda na ng mga tao. Sigh.
People are now talking about marriages and babies. It’s funny and exciting and scary and alarming all at the same time. We are indeed growing up. I can’t believe how fast time has passed us by. I can’t believe how quickly people have changed. We used to be just simple naïve kids. Fooling around in white uniforms, playing stupid games, exchanging silly stories, talking non-sense most days and laughing our hearts out about almost anything under the sun. But now, most of them are already professionals, the most competent in their chosen field. And some are already married, busy juggling their time between career and their family. Just who would have thought?
Reminiscing those times makes me smile. I miss them. I miss the old days. I would want to see them all again to personally witness how they’ve all grown up. I wonder if there will still be traces of innocence on their faces. And if they’ll notice the changes in me as well. Sigh.
