@ Benj- aww, why hungry? yes it’s quite daunting to face a move to a new place . Termites? now that’s a bummer. You might have to do major renovation. One thing for sure, I am happy with the move. I hate this house.

Tita Noemi, for some reason I felt hungry and a bit tired after going through the list. I think I need a break now. hehe

I hope everything works out for your big move.

My family has lived at Shell’s Tabangao Refinery for the past 12 years. We’ve neglected our “real” house and it has since been taken over by termites and cruddy furniture. And now, by dad’s retiring from Shell by the end of next month!!! Aside from all the moving, it just pains me to leave the place I called home for so long.

It comes extra painful because I’ve seen a lot of my long-time friends leave the place, and now comes my turn.

@Ajay- Thanks. I just need to be organized and keep writing notes.

@belle- this will be my second move

@chateau- i want to move in one day! Not 2 weeks.

@annamanila- humble beginnings simple but happy neighborhood, would you believe?

@toe- exciting new countries for you. That’s even more fun

We’ve been moving every year since we arrived in Cambodia so I know how it feels. But garage sales are fun and living in a totally new place is just heavenly. Good luck and have fun Noemi!

Wow moving time is almost upon you. Stay cool .. eh may professional mover ka naman pala. That will make things a lot easier. Basta .. that means you’re moving up .. and incidentally nearer to me. Haha … i bet it’s in one of the upscale subdivisions in Pasig. Good luck Noems whatever you do.

Hi Noemi! My family has moved 4 times (I beat Belle, hehe), and with each one, we added at least one more day to the moving process, LOL. The last one was the most difficult, needless to say. It took us about two weeks to completely move all our stuff. And then the mundane task of unpacking came….huhuhu.
As for the appliances: one by one they are dying out on us! First one to give up was the washing machine; next the ref. Now, the TV’s power button is going a bit crazy. Hay, after 10 year or more, appliances really do beg for retirement!

Noemi, good luck with the move! I moved twice so I know how it feels.

The to’do’s seem mind-boggling but you can do it. Good luck with the move, Noemi:)

@lady G- The kids are very excited

@pistachio- definitely we cannot move in if the floors are not sanded and the smell of paint is still around.

@zherwin- I have a system already. In fact the boxes I packed so far are color coded on where the boxes should be placed when we move in. Green for boxes for ground floor and pink for the second floor. An extra ORANGE tag for breakable items. Each is labelled on what the contents are. Finally, I have a log book that stores this information.

good luck! and as much as possible, keep an eye on things being packed and/or moved by the moving company, sometimes someone is also packing something for himself. medyo may pagka-OC pero it helps kung me mga assigned number/s at least yung boxes.
