I really parked in life.

I reasoned that if I have: food, bedding, clothing, family, neighbors, a bit of money, supplies, books, electricity, water, internet, computer (no cellphone) at home, I even have hatid-sundo....What is looking for your own house (+new highly-paying job included) really going to do for you?

I just stayed at home and settled for a work at home job. I even tried to study on the internet..including local bookstore subscription.

My house in Marikina really looks like this. 

I have a zen rock garden in the back of my house. It's pretty quiet, nice place to live in. Just right for my needs.
