solo living (with a cat) has hidden cost --- and it's not cheap.

Back in NCR but this time in Makati naman.

i was not expecting na marami palang hidden cost ang pagiging furmom. i adopted Conan when he was 3 months old. his previous owner thought mamatay na sya -- he was skinny and malaki ang tyan. i took him wanting to have a pet na low maintenance.

i thought malnourished lang sya but he had parvo and FLUTD for a then 3-mon old kitty. i spent roughly around 70k for his confinement, excluding medications and vitamins.

now neutered, healthy and ma-attitude, we move back to NCR.

akala ko gagastos lang ako sa napakamahal na special diet nya and vitamins, tofu litter... no, i need to buy air purifiers, dehumidifiers, vacuum cleaners (yes, two! one for my bed; the other for the floor). i have no choice kasi i'm a bit of a neat freak so i have to make this work for us, unlike sa house namin sa province mas malawak and he has a dedicated catio and room. i have to buy the pricier brands pa to make sure na effective.i also have an automatic feeder with built it cam, in case i have to leave him alone during the mornings.

was it worth it? lol

can't say.

will i adopt him again if i could turn back time? absolutely.

magkano nagagastos nyo sa kuryente per month and ano sa appliances ang pinakamalas kumonsume ng kuryente?

i live alone with a cat but i also work from home. sa kin kasi, dehumidifier ang malakas kumonsumo. i don't use AC kasi hindi inverter provided sa kin.

this is roger, my neighbor's cat. dito sya sa bahay namin natutulog at tumatambay. sympre, regular ang meals nila here.

sadly, i have to relocate to NCR and leave him. hindi ko sya pwede isama kasi sa kapitbahay sya. and mukhang hindi trip ng kapitbahay ibigay sa kin kasi nilagyan nila sila (yes marami sila) ng collar nung nakita nilang pinapakain and pinapatambay ko sila. he is also neutered (sila lahat ng siblings nya)

i have my own cat pero i want to take roger with me. sana hindi sya attach sa kin..sana pinapakain sya ng masarap..

sana..ginagamit nya lang ako for extra food.

i don't mind being taken advantage of basta mga cats.

problem/goal: my boyfriend of 9 years broke up with me. i want to move on.

suddenly so sure of marriage, he decided that he was not ready. after giving him an ultimatum, he apologized saying that he won't be able to give me what i wanted so it's only fair that he let me go.

i'm 33, he is 46. i just finished my post grad degree after 8 years of being a working student. i promised him that i'll pass the bar in one take so we can get married (and i did)

for context, we had short talks about marriage, but not something we sit down on. i have to admit, in the past months i was being pushy on asking him about our plans. he said he was happy taking everything one at a time.. he said he loves me and he'll choose me but thinking about marriage in the future is something that we should worry next time. we'd been together for 9 years.. when will be the right time?

---- are we ready? he lives with his mother and i live alone. i ask him to live in with me instead but does not want to move out since it's not economical for him to pay rent.

he is a good man.

just not financially stable and without concrete plans in the future. aside from that, he is an amazing man.

but i love him and accepted him for who he is. he'd been with me towards every milestone so it hurts that i cannot create another with him.

i did everything in the book. i try to be the responsible girlfriend. i avoided things that his exes did to him.. i supported his hobbies, his art, his dreams, and he to me.. so why is he letting go? why am i suddenly too demanding?

should i have waited for another year? am i wrong? how do i move on...

this is so heartbreaking..

i just want to move on..
