Leaving Mt Samat

I vacated my old apartment the second time with a heavy heart.  It was my second home away from Pangasinan. I lived in 7045 Mt Samat, Talimundok, Dau for almost 8 years! That tiny apartment was my comfort zone.  I have my privacy there to pray and fast whenever I want to.  I go home in the middle of the night or wee hours of morning after a night out with friends or during rest day overtime. It is the first stop whenever I come home from a holiday in another Asian country.  There were lots of good memories in that tiny apartment.

When I resigned from my job, I didn't give it up right away.  I tried to maintain it even though I had no work.  My aunt often tease me I had no permanent address as I could go home to my cousins in Baguio, in Dagupan or to her house in Novaliches.  I wanted to tell her, my home is in Dau.

I was forced to vacate it because the owners wanted to renovate it.  But even up to last minute I was negotiating with my landlady to let me stay even though renovation is ongoing. I felt really homeless because my comfort zone is gone. 

I have to sell also some of my appliances because transporting them to Pangasinan will costs me more.  I hold sentimental value with the stuff I bought but then after going to SG it made me realize that those are just material things and I can buy new stuff when I get a new job.  I remember that life here on earth is temporal.  I should never attach myself to material things. As always I remember that all things work together for good. Who knows I might go back again in that apartment or buy a house.
