It's evening already in Missisauga, Canada. My sister and brother-in-law just picked us up in the Airport coming from a long flight from the Philippines. It was only a 20-30 minutes trip going their very own townhouse. The Freeways here in the Canada are wider compared here in the Philippines. It reminds me of the freeways in the US. There's was no traffic during our travel.
When the car that were riding entered the vicinity, I tried to look around and saw that the townhouses all looked the same. The houses are 3 stories high and the design in front was made of bricks. It may look small from the outside but it's actually a lot bigger when you go inside. The first floor, is more of a storage room. There was a laundry room, a small sala room, a toilet (not a bathroom) and shoe storage. The front door of the house has access to the first floor. Upon entering the door, to my left is the storage room for shoes and there were rubber slippers that are ready for use in the house. Straight ahead is split into 2 directions. The left side is the stairs leading way up to the second floor. On the right side is going straight Laundry room and small sala room. Going straight to the Laundry Room , you will be able to pass by the Toilet situated on the left side just below the Stairs. I let my two boys explore the house. My youngest son was very giddy in going up and down the stairs.
When we reached the second floor, the feel of this room was much cozier. The family room was situated on the left side coming from down stairs, a formal dining table was situated straight ahead and the Kitchen and informal dining room was situated on the right side. The flooring in the second floor was made of laminated wood. It wasn't the usual carpeted house that I lived in the US. The Family room has a 46 inch flat Screen TV with a lazy boy sofa. On the other half of the room is where the Electric Piano that Charles uses for his Piano lessons. Beside the piano is surrounded with family pictures. I remember seeing a picture of Charles with Kuya Faro, Ate and Ate Aileen riding a roller coaster. Charles looked like 5 yrs old in the picture. There was also their family picture taken during our wedding. My sister and brother in law was kneeling while taking a picture with Charles. Charles was so cute in that picture. The formal dining room has a varnished rectangular dining table. It's like one of those tables sold in SM Appliance. The kitchen was kept clean. The kitchen counter was made up of laminated wood. All the Kitchen Utensils were kept inside the cabinet. The sorting of trash was kept clean. All plastic trash like bottled water were emptied out, washed and dried. The tin cans were also washed and dried. All spoiled waste were kept on a separate trash and was covered only with a paper towl. All other trash like papers were also kept from a bigger trash bin. I was amazed on how organized the sorting of the trash was done on my sister's house. On the other half of the room is the informal dining room. The dining table was made out of glass with stool chairs. This is where most of our dinners occur. It's more comfy and nearer to the kitchen.
Going up to the last floor is where the 3 bedrooms are situated. The master's bedroom was huge. Another queen sized bed could fit on the other side of the bedroom. The 2 other rooms is just half of the size of the master bed room for each room. One room was for Charles and the other room was rented by Ate Aileen. They 1 huge toilet bathroom on the third floor. The Toilet Bathroom can be opened from the Master's Bedroom.
We'll be staying in this house for the next 10 days. My sister and brother-in-law has finally brought their very own home. The home was really quite cozy and adequate to accommodate the 3 of them and maybe, just maybe another blessing that will be born in Canada. Keeping my fingers crossed.
