hello, gud day!
when I first read about nuvali in iqnuirer, I thought this was the ideal community I’m drawing in my head and literally sketching in my pads…earth friendly and everything I thought a sustainable country should be..the dream home I would gift my mother (when i get the means) and live in with my family…
But then my mother died….and my dreams died with her…you wish you’d recover, but then you never do…coz deep inside you’re holding, afraid you’d forget…still waiting to wake up,and wishing today is the dream, and yesterday was the reality…still regretting not giving her a better home.
Just 2 months later, just when we thought we’d start healing, my father was almost taken from us by aneurysm…sleepless nights waiting in the ICU for a week or so, shook whatever dreams left, out of me…but then the Good Lord gives you a miracle every now and then. My father survived the 60/40, not 50/50 condition..
Now 4 months later, stronger in faith… I rediscovered the desire for a better life… a dream house…I just put down a reservation fee for a modest town house somewhere in sta. rosa, it’s not nuvali, but it’s what I can afford right now…(we’re still paying the hospital bills)…
…still can remember my mama’s last words (or more like last sign language or mouthing the words) in the hospital to me, “matulog ka na,”…maybe so I can dream again….
maybe when I wake up, we’ll be neighbors…haaaiz…

Hi Noemi, I would love to be your neighbor, ha ha. I’ve been planning to move in the South, maybe somewhere in Tagaytay or Sta. Rosa area bec. all my kids have asthma, and the only cure/solution is to relocate. I will definitely check Nuvali soon.

Re Annamanila: Hubby wants to have a small self-sustaining lot somewhere Tanay too.We love the place that’s why we frequent the place as often as we can.

Sta.Rosa is one of the hubs emerging as a weekend retreat/home. Far from the maddening crowd of the metro. But then maybe in a few years time, that place would be bustling too.

@annamanila- the internet connectivity is a must.

@benj- haha yes. We have a small property in Sariaya.

There’s this theme subdivision in Laguna that has different sectors that follow particular motifs - the japanese and balinese areas really caught my eye. I think it’s South Forbes or something. hehe. There’s no point to buying houses in Laguna though, my family’s already living in a rural area in Batangas.

I also have draems in retiring in the countryside when my children (or most of them) have flown the coop. Somewhere not too far from Metro Manila. But far enough from the bustle and the pollution. I’d say somewhere Tanay, Teresa or thereabouts. Of course, the place should have internet accessibility too. haha
