On our way to Tagaytay to attend a friend’s wedding, we passed by several vacation houses overlooking Taal Volcano. A friend who’s seating beside me in our rented van bemused how great it would be to build a house there – great view, great weather, far away from pollution in the city. Of course, you’ll also miss the busy night life, the malls, and all the hustle and bustle, but that’s kind of the point, right?
The last time I visited an aunt, she asked me why I keep on renting apartment spaces when I could start investing on a house of my own. Well, I’m not going to start to explain my pathetic excuse and my actual inability to do just that, but that got me into thinking that someday, I might have to consider it – by getting a home loan or something. Now, home loans may not be the perfect way to do it but for those of us who are not lying on our backs in money, home loans may be the only option if we want to get a house of our own. Of course, the location is a matter of utmost importance. Would I want a condo unit? I used to dream of that but now I’m not so sure. As I get older and as I am wasting away my time here in the city, I’m starting to really miss the rural life and how I used to plan to live in Los Banos, Laguna, within the U.P. campus there, forever (or at least through my lifetime). Only time will tell. I can keep on dreaming for now.
