₱3K/month APARTMENT MAKEOVER + TOUR | living alone in the Philippines 🇵🇭

[@doenjjang]

I love how your apartment is only 3k PHP a month, pet friendly, and allows you to redecorate. Such a rare find. Your place looks way better than before. Great job!

[@SpeckofAsh]

I'm also renting for almost 2 years now and here are the things I wish I knew before renting an apartment: 1. Unang una sa lahat kumuha ka ng kontrata. Kung wala naman kontrata, make sure na nirecord mo usapan nyo ng landlord mo. ASK AS MANY QUESTION AS YOU WANT (Garbage collection, kung bahain ba, pano pag gusto mo na umalis pano ang deposit, etc.) Maraming landlord ang nalilito at ginagamit ang word na "Advance" payment as their term to what supposed to be "Move in" fee. Ito yung 1 month advanced 1 month deposit ikanga. Nung first time ko akala ko yung 1 month advanced na yon is sakop na, let's say, January to February. Hindi pala, nag taka ako bat pinag bayad parin ako ng rent ko. Ang ibig nila sabihin ay yung 1 month advanced is your move in fee na katumbas na rin ng monthly rent. Hindi sya yung literal na advance mo yung isang buwan, kundi pagbili mo ng right to own the apartment. 2. Humanap ka ng apt na malapit sa commodity, meaning malapit sa palengke, pharmacy, at sakayan. Wag ka sa liblib, ikaw mahihirapan, ako na nag sasabi. 2. Yung apartment na kukuhain mo make sure well ventilated, kung hindi marami yung bintana, at least find one na may malaking opening na may air flow talaga. Mauurat at mauumay ka pag kulob ang apartment. 3. Kung ang makukuha mong apartment ay nasa second or third floor, tanung mo yung landlord kamusta flow ng tubig. Kasi mahina ang tubig pag nasa taas ka since iisa lang ang tubo nila paminsan. Agawan yon. 4. Ask permission kung may irerenovate ka (again, i record mo. I find it safest kapag may proof ka palagi) 5. Plan what you're going to buy for the apartment carefully. Wag ka basta basta bumili, alam ko maraming cute sa shopee pero wag haha. If I may suggest, bumili ka nga foam na natitiklop and/or lamesa na natitiklop. Yung mga bagay na innovative and multi purpose para di sya space consuming. Para if you don't need it, you can keep it folded.

Awesome tranformation! c: PSA for anyone thinking of doing pallet furniture: Just be careful when sourcing and weigh the costs/benefits. Mold, pests, pesticides, bacteria, and chemical off-gassing are all possible because they're used for outdoor/industrial purposes. Do what you gotta/wanna do, just be informed and as safe as possible while you do it!

[@pilnille]

Very true. Thanks for sharing po💕

[@airahloyola9295]

Very true. I did diy pallet table and after a month or so there are ants living on it na. 😔

[@tracy2919]

@@airahloyola9295 Oy! I'm sorry to hear that. I added "pests" to my original comment above. I forgot about that one.

[@jammiyt7006]

im not sure but i think wood varnish works to prevent that from happening??

[@tokki.u]

@@jammiyt7006 it does help a lot, thats why before doing any DIY's and covering it with vinyl wallpaper I prefer to paint it with wood varnish. extra steps pero atleast indi kana mag worry.

[@nikki3385]

For your succulent: fill a bowl water. the bowl should be big enough for the plant pot to fit in and deep enough where the water wont overflow. Place the plant pot in the bowl of water. Let it drink water from the roots up. Take out after a few minutes (maybe like 5). Do this whenever the soil is really dry. This way you wont overwater and the leaves dont get wet which is bad if you dont have a lot of wind as it will rot quickly.

[@kekiboo]

I was told that the soil should be dry-dry (Like the result of few months not getting watered) correct me if I'm wrong

[@cheshireerlinberts5806]

had 2 attempts keeping a succulent, the first one dried up and the second one rotted lol .the leaves always got wet whenever i watered it 😂

[@lemoncat3873]

I’ve watched a lot of room make over pero yung sa yo po is the most doable and ang ganda po ng kinalabasan. Kasi sobrang cost effective.. lalo na ung bed palette and ung ikaw mismo ang nagpaint ng walls na DIY lang talaga. Such a cozy little home. Great job!!

[@pilnille]

Yay! Thank you so much po 💗💗💗

[@caramelatte5477]

When I converted 3000 pesos to my currency, I was shocked! It's extremely cheap compared to here! (and no I'm not from the US) So I searched average rent in the philippines to see how much it usually is, since I guessed the cost of living there must be cheaper than where I live. But I saw that an apartment with your characteristics is usually 8k - 19k pesos so wow girl you are really lucky your apartment is pretty cheap and you made it look so nice!! It's so exciting

[@ainnaraga8233]

It must have felt good after seeing the fruits of your labor. I really like how practical you are for getting a Php 3,000/month apartment. It's rare these days.. & your space is spacious for you! I liked everything and I loved the combination of colors, the furnitures and your taste. Hope to see more of this!

[@lyss9178]

suburbs ata kasi location nya, hindi mismo sa central cities ng manila kita naman sa vid nya no tall bldgs visible. maganda magrent sa marikina or novaliches kasi medyo mura na mga apartment pero near parin sa mrt, lrt which is a lifesaver. can't recomment pasig tho hahaha

[@WitchyLucille]

Hey loves! For you lot struggling with duvet covers I suggest turning the cover inside out, putting your hands in to the duvet cover. Find the short corners and grab onto your duvet through the cloth. (While keeping your hands inside the duvet cover, its not complicated I just suck at explaining.) Then you can simply let the duvet cover drop on top of the duvet. :)

Siguro magagawa ko lang to if may sariling bahay na ako. But for now im still renting, its a no muna. Mas masarap sa feeling kapag you decorate your own house or room na matatawag mong sayo hindi ka manghihinayang sa pera at effort than decorating the rental property lalo sakin palipat lipat, mahirap mag buhat at magpalipat lipat kung maraming gamit... For now ipon muna. Gang nuod nalang muna ako.

I've seen so many cheap apartments but could not fathom to live in an apartment that has brightly color painted walls(which most of them are). I cant imagine the expenses you've spent. The good thing is every time you're home you know that everything there is your hard work.
