Couch Day Today

The Our Home people are delivering the couch and coffee table today. Because Charo didn’t go to work yesterday, I was tasked to make sure that this delivery is as smooth as possible. I called Marge, who works in our building administration office, to know the how-tos in securing a gate pass. Based from our short discussion, it was actually quite easy – get a form from the guard at the lobby, fill it up and have them submit this to building administration for approval. No sweat.

I also texted Mariel, our broker, on helping us with securing the permit, just to be sure. She said that our existing gate pass covers this already and that there’s no need to get a new one. Cool!

So I guess we’re ready with another major episode of this moving thing event today. Wish us luck!

Moving in: The First Weekend

The first weekend of moving in went extremely well. Instead of doing a one-time big-time thing, we opted to do things nice and slow. I think that decision was a good thing. The whole process was so relaxed.

Last Saturday, my sister lent us her truck, where we loaded some items from La Vista and brought it to our unit at Pioneer Highlands. We hired four men to carry our stuff. The whole transfer took us 20 minutes from unloading the items to bringing it to the unit, and that includes a small ref, an aircon, three balikbayan boxes full of various items, racks, foldable tables, chairs, a cooler and cleaning materials. Not bad at all! And since the boys are already there, I asked them to install the window-type air-conditioning unit that we brought.

Sunday was cleaning day, and similar to the set-up from the previous day I brought in extra help to clean the unit up. Three to be exact. These guys cleaned everything – from the rooms, windows, walls and floors to even washing the dishes, glasses, plates and utensils that were given to us in our wedding a few years back.

Tomorrow, the sofa and coffee table that we bought from Our Home will be delivered, while the bed frame, mattress and a new 1.5HP aircon is scheduled to be delivered on Saturday. We just need to clear this with the building admin and it’s a go.

There are still a lot of items that need to be bought or transferred, but I’m sure everything will be in order very soon.
