Trip Snippets – Seeing the Fruits

As my hubby and I are working so hard here in the UK, we make sure that we hide a small portion of our income in the form of investments so that we can have something to show for all our efforts when we retire. We are paying a small lot in a small subdivision near a top destination in the Philippines.
Real estate, particularly lots or land in general, is one of the best investments as they rarely decrease in value. So, we opted for this form of investment.
It is our first time to see this property so we were quite excited to visit it. In the photo above, we are standing on the exact spot of our lot.
This particular subdivision is being marketed among Filipinos based abroad, so there are no houses built yet, save for one whose owner is a Filipina married to a British. They visit the Philippines once in a while.
Someday, when we are old and grey, we would want to have a house in this windy, quiet and beautiful spot where I can read and read and read my hours away. I want it to be ultra modern but homey and comfortable, with a large kitchen and a library. Well, God wiling, that is. Otherwise, the boys can have it as their inheritance.
Whatever happens, we are happy to be able to set aside something today for tomorrow, and that is teaching our kids loads about life, which I hope, they will also practice when they grow up.
