I hope you’re renting-to-own where you’re staying now, as opposed to just renting it. Nice podcast as always

No eh. I’m still saving up (or at least trying to, but saddly, in vain hahah) for a downpayment or something of that sort. Most rent-to-own condos kase are not ready for occupancy. Pero that’s my project this year, get a condo or home of my own through financing.
Thanks sa papuri. Nape-pressure tuloy ako for the next one. Hehehe. any suggestions for a topic?

Hmm, how about your favorite hang-out places? Or favorite hang-out places of PLUs?

It was nice listening to your podcast. It reminded me when I left my parents’ house to live on my own. My parents are of Filipino lineage but I moved here in the US when I was 6 months old. I embraced that challenge that I have to be independent after turning 18. It was difficult, exciting, excruciating, eye-opening, and at the same time humbling. It really made me enjoy/cherish all of my accomplishments and successes. Hope we could meet someday. you sound like a great person to talk to. Godspeed.

Thank you! I’m glad you liked it. It is indeed difficult and exciting at the same time. I think there’s more pressure for you guys who grew up in a different society as it is more of a need rather than a luxury to move out and live on your own. SUre would love to meet you one of these days.
