It's November

It's November already, I've been working for five months at the new (old) office and thank God I still enjoy it.

Last November I started the previous job, and November a year before last year, I started the management trainee program at another company.

Yes, I never get through the end of year.

It's the picture of my desk. I rarely hold my cell phone during working hours and when finally I get spare time, I don't know what to do so I just take a picture of my desk or my office. I don't really do selfie.

Raindrops

Menara Palma, 9th Floor.

It's like the day after a hurricane. So quite and deserted. It's hard to keep the spirit up when a party has been thrown to celebrate a farewell with a very exhausting project. For some people, it is an end. The rest of us have to accept that this is just a new beginning.

The weather really matched our mood. As if universe is siding with us to indulge our reluctance. It's gloomy all day long. The dark clouds invaded the town from the east side. The earth finally gave up to the raindrops that couldn't wait to touch the ground.

After nine hours of waiting and tough fight with the shiftlessness, it's finally time to rest my body in a place that I call home. I looked through the window, the raindrops that stick on the glass told me that I better stay at office for a while. It's pouring rain. I have to give up to the weather.

Take the money watch it burnt

Like the lyrics of One Republic's song, I've been losing sleep lately for thinking about the things that I could do. The different is I don't count the stars, I count the bills instead.

Yes, when the payday comes, apparently the happiness only stays for a day or two before I realize that there's the list of bills waiting to be paid. Recently, I plan to apply for a mortgage. The rent rate is getting higher year by year, I guess the only solution to set my parents' free from leasing bill is to take a mortgage. Yet, it's not a cheap solution, I should spare third of my income to pay the installment for 15 to 20 years.

Three days of contemplation, I finally come into the decision that I should apply for the mortgage now. I might have to cut my monthly income for 20 years which will feel like forever. But, my income will increase each year, while the installment will be same forever (Optimistically speaking). If I choose to keep renting a house, the leasing price will increase each year as my salary raise. So, actually I will still spend a big money in the future.

Guess, what I need now is a little bit patience to push my expense for the next two years. The last thing I need is to have a strict financial management.
