Key Duplication

What will you do if you want to go out (walking) and you only have one key for the house and your husband has it currently? Simple as 1-2-3, let the house be duplicated! Or go out and ask your dear husband to get you afterwards. Not that easy, you have to tell him before you leave the house and let him get you when he's on his way going home, sounds better. Ha! 

Since the landlord gives only one house key and it's okay to have it duplicated (of course! But make sure you have to take an extra care of it since that's a house key, that involves everything which includes your undies, oops! hehheh!), you then have to do so or else one cannot enter without the other and that is a trouble. That is how key duplication is important in your place. :-) For now, am still waiting for DH to duplicate the key at Home Depot store when he gets back at work for me (or for him). It's a hassle when we only have one key. Of course you cannot leave the house unlock! When you move-in, it's better to duplicate your house key for your spouse in the first day of stay. Remember that. :-) If not, we will find ourselves locked out and unhappy. Everyone maybe should just take locksmith courses!

First Day of Sleeping

In the new apartment we moved-in, we first stayed there in the 24th of June. I did not realized that was a day of Saint John the Baptist. Yes, it is the day of commemorating the person/saint who baptized Jesus and the people who became Christian Catholic. But then St. John the Baptist commemoration isn't that much here in US of A unlike there in my birth country, Philippines, especially if you live near the beach or lake. Anyway, just reminiscing my first day of sleeping on our new apartment abode. :-) As I always said I love it better than our old one. I had some do-it-yourself cleaning done just like cleaning the tiles grout in the bathroom floor and in the kitchen both on the ground/floor and the main kitchen base down to the in-sink. I made it on the third time. Yep, I cleaned it twice but it the stain did not removed. Thankfully, my friend's husband thru her (Te Claudia) advised me to use comet cleansing powder with scrubs. I used scotch brite and a little hard brush (not toothbrush, better than toothbrush) then scrubbed to the max. It was quiet tedious but I made it. I cannot stand the tiles and in-sink hard stains especially the paint/design is light. I was working my but off for about five days arranging, cleaning and a slight moving/lifting. I had a great exercise! Yey! Now am a bit relax of cleaning thing. The first night by the way is awesome!

Moving theFurnitures This Weekend

You may not know that we are moving from apartment to another. The good thing is it is not far from the place we are right now. Actually it is just two or three blocks away, of the same city (of course). *wink* Later on, I'll be going to pack-up my computer as well as my DH. Then dismantle my table and chair. The Internet will be cut-off and transfer to the new place, only the cable will be left. The electric current was turned-on two days ago so no problem when it comes to light and other stuffs connected. The Internet will be connected tomorrow at 1:00-3:00 pm. I hope I can connect to it directly so we won't be disconnected for long. :-) I am excited to live in our new abode. Good luck for the arrangements and some other packings for me and my husband. :-) The furniture will be lift-up by some men contacted.

And the Moving Already Started

After my husband's four-days off (three days regular off: Friday, Saturday and Sunday with a one-day holiday for Memorial Day commemoration), he finally signed a lease agreement to the landlord. It's a one-year agreement lease with one month rent (good for the month of June) and a security deposit. So we have two apartment rented for this month of June, the current and the new one. The security deposit is being held in case we will be gone on the leased apartment within a year. And also if there is(are) damage(s), security deposit can't be claimed once a renter want to transfer even if it's already one-year. And that's fine, great one though we like to be gone without a year contract. We'll just see how this goes or we can't get our security deposit anymore. Whatever is good for us or for my husband because he really wants to retire next year, hopefully. So then, good luck to me and my husband for the moving. I was all-packed up. Oops, not that so, we're just half way on the transferring but once my baby shower ends, this will all be fine and good for moving. By July 1st, we're already on our new abode. :-)  Yey!

Will Be Moving Next Month

It will be June in the next three days. Today is 29th of May by the way. Am just so glad that finally we will be moving in another apartment, the one bedroom - one bathe. After all, that is what I really like to. That is because this current apartment home we have, have two bedrooms to which it is unneeded but the rent difference is 300. Doing the math, DH already told I can have my motorcycle with it when we will move then to our planned country by next year. We might just have to stay for one year according to the lease agreement or we cannot get the security deposit equivalent to a month rent. At the same time, DH can still work and have our extra. DH already forwarded our rent for next month (he intended to pay it in advance) at the same time gave the letter of notice for one-month evacuate as per agreement by the landlord. Then my Tuesday we will sign the new agreement to our new apartment home. I can't wait to transfer! Wish us luck! Thanks in advance. ;-)
