House Acceptance, etc.

March 31, Monday, the schedule of the acceptance of the house and lot unit of Adis. Being her special power of attorney, I am able to perform rights same as the buyer such as, applying for electrical and water connection, doing the house inspection, and signing documents and papers. Early this morning we went to the subdivision, after seeing the improvements done, I accepted the unit and then we went to the main office at Mandaluyong to submit the acceptance and secure an authority to move in documents. My husband laso had a transaction this time at main office, our house is also under this developer. The check for the March monthly amortization for our house had bounce due to out of balance. He admitted that he was not able to monitor the checking account, the fund was a thousand plus short of the amount. Due to this the bank deducted a penalty of two thousand plus on the returned check. He also deposited some amount to complete the needed fund. Aside from the bank's penalty, there is alos incurred interest for the developer which he has to settle. He also provided a letter informing the developer that the check is already funded and they can now redeposit the check. Well, this has been a lesson to us to monitor the transcations on our checking account; after five years, this is the first time that we had encountered this problem.

March 30, Sunday

March 30, Sunday, a family friend invited our family to attend their youngest child firts birthday which will be held in a resort somewhere in Indang Trece. We would like to go but unfortunately we had previously agreed to Adis that we will assist her in that same day. Past 10am we pick-up Adis at Robinsons mall in Imus. We will assist her in looking for ceramic tiles that will be used in their new house. We only saw two stores that were open that day, so we decide to go to that two stores and check out what they had to offer. At the first store Adis asks the personnel to estimate the number of tiles we will need in a certain floor area. She also asked her to include the adhesive that will be used. After giving the computation, and a calling card, we went to the other store nearby and do the same. It is almost lunch time when we finished with the activity for that day. We had a lunch at Jolibee, as requested by Adrian. After having some chat and finished with the food, we dropped Adis at the nearest bus stop and then we went home. Late in the afternoon, upon knowing that our neighboor already arrived, I ask Adrian to get his gift to Patricia and we will give it to her. My husband followed us there. We had some shots of red wine and had some chat regarding our studies (they also graduating from different school this comong April).

We might be tired or may want to took some rest after that event. Saturday morning, my husband decided not to go, becasue my head is aching.

Gintong Anahaw

March 22, Saturday, after the small gathering and short program at my mother in-laws house, we went to Gintong Anahaw Resort. Originally the plan to go to a resort was scheduled on Sunday, but it was moved to that day because some of my husband’s relatives are already going home to Manila on Sunday morning. The kids and the elders had fun in the water. My husband was not able to swim; it is the burden of being the photographer (hehehe). In my case, I was not able to bring any swim wear.
