Official Resident of Chateau Elysee

It was Dec.of 2009, I was still pregnant and 8 mos along with our second child, princess Keilah, when hubby told me he's gonna buy his friend's second hand car, Trooper (isuzu)  in particular. He already had a mitsubishi Lancer but his eldest sister are the one who usually used it for work. Now it looks really old and very much wasted. Poor Lancer. So i guess that's what made hubby buy a newer one.

But instead of agreeing, i just suggested why not we look for a house (we've been residing together with his parents for 6years already) so a home of our own is what i really wish for. I want to live in a home where there is only one king, queen, prince and princess. So upon suggesting i browsed the net and found this very affordable yet classy low-rise condominium located near where we're residing now. We texted and called the broker, had a little conversation about the info and the estimated monthly amortization. Hubby's impressed oh so did i.

So without further ado, 3 days after Christmas (2009) we went to the viewing site of Chateau Elysee located near SM Bicutan. A 15-20mins ride from our current location (depends on the traffic). After discussing all the info needed and computing the monthly amortization (i can say that they have a flexible terms) we settle the reservation fee of Php25000.
