Our First Home

After our wedding, Sweetie and I moved to an apartment we rented from Mom's friend. It was several streets away from my childhood home.

The first few weeks were really memorable and we had a number of mishaps. Our newly installed washing machine broke down within days. It gave a loud bang which made our neighbors nervous. Then there was the smoking sink due to liquid Sosa. And many other issues.

At that time, I only knew how to fry. We'd have fried rice, omelette and Spam or hotdog. We'd usually buy Baliwag for real good. That's what we did when Mom's party leftovers ran out. I finally learned how to cook only when we shifted to an  electric stove (there's no learning when you're scared of fire).

It's been 16 years and I still hold these memories close to my heart. It was where our family started and grew through the years.
