Found two that looks promising

I have mentioned that we are apartment hunting. We are looking for a new place to move in to since our upstairs neighbor makes lots of noises that is disturbing us and disrupting our sleep adding to the noise from the outside world made by humans and animals alike.

We prepared not even the sun was up. First thing I did was plug my phone to charge. We planned on going out around 6:00 a.m. or so. That way we can cover a lot of areas. We just cooked instant noodles and had coffee and bread. I did visit some of you while my partner was preparing.

I thought I plugged the cord all the way in to my phone only to find out that I didn't. So while waiting for it to charge some, I did some chores and again some things online and prepared myself. Once we are ready, it was about past 7:00 a.m. It is already warm out.

We set on foot. We already had a barangay as our target. We walked to get there but checked if there are available along the way. No luck. When we arrived at the particular barangay, no luck as well.

We then set to go to another barangay but we are getting tired by this point. We decided to go to the other direction still on foot. By then we were walking for two hours. I thought it was longer.

With no luck in sight, we then rode a jeepney going to town while thinking where to go look next.

When we arrived in the city center, we decided to go to another barangay. We set on foot again to go to the jeepney terminal of that barangay but then decided to take a cab instead.

This barangay is divided between the city and the town next to it. We set on foot again until we arrived at an apartment that we saw posted online. We asked the lady caretaker about it and she let us checked it. While it was okay for it was silent enough since it is on the top floor and the noise from the road is not can be muted a bit once the windows are closed, it is unfurnished and no internet connection. While we can work something out about those, we are looking for something a little more convenient.

By this point, we have already crossed the town side of this barangay. So walk we did. Still.

Until we saw an ongoing construction of an apartment building. Final touches are being rushed in two units for it is already reserved. There is one unit that can be ready next month which was on the third floor and we instantly liked the orientation of the unit. There is continuity, pleasant and great ambiance.

However, we can't get hold of the owner. Only the contractors were there. We left our number for them to hopefully contact us later in the afternoon when the owner comes but it's now evening and we still haven't been contacted. We forgot to get the number of the contractor. We plan to go back tomorrow. All we wanted to know is how much is the rent but the contractor doesn't know. I have a feeling it is way above our budget but I have to know lol! Else it might be a lost opportunity.

From there, we then walked some more until finally deciding to take a cab and go home. It's now close to lunchtime.

We then had our lunch and rested.

We checked some more online for posted apartments for rent and we saw one that seems to our liking so we headed there and checked it again. It is a duplex type, kitchen and dining on the first floor and bedroom, toilet and bath and living room on the second floor. I definitely love the view from the small verandah/drying area. It feels a bit cramped for we had to crouch down in some parts. However, we liked it. It's not perfect but the rent includes water and electricity so that is fine. We have to apply for internet connection which will take at least three days. We then informed the owner that we will be back the first week of next month for we have to ready our finances to cover the rent and deposit.

From there, we walked some more to check other units within the neighborhood. We were able to talk to two people. While one has available the first week next month, it's way over our budget same goes to the one we talked to over the phone.

So then we headed home again. After this, I'll be visiting my noise and then rest for tomorrow calls for another day of walking.

Leaving you with this photo I took in one of the barangays we went. I would love to wake up to a view like this.
