Looking For New Pasture

This" old goat " chose this particular  visual image in part because he finds it " right on " as the young goats say and an accurate portrayal of real estate values today as the old goats say . That would be true world wide of course but this " old goats " primary concern is how the image relates to Philippine pastures .

Bottom line is that this " old goat " and family are in the market for another pasture in which to reside .  Due to circumstances beyond our control ( and a landlord that chooses not to fix the water pipe leak ) that generated a 5,000 peso water bill we will be moving on a couple of months down the road .

As such , i am using this here blog space to make an open invitation to any one in the  Cagayan de Oro area that may know of available rental housing to please let us know . One thing i have learned through my stay in this culture is that the best way to find anything is by word of mouth rather than advertising .

Being of the poorer goat variety we are  not inclined to deal with realty companies or owners wishing 4 months rent up front for the privilege of gracing their digs . Yeah , i know it's not my original pasture but when " First & Last " becomes " 3 or more " in advance i start thinking of the one below .

But , i then quickly come to my senses ( well , what's left of them ) and realize that the by the beach thing ah la native is not a viable alternative given my need for a few amenities such as power , internet connectivity , etc . So , i move on into the 2nd phase of the house hunt fantasy adventure and conjure up something like the image below .
Well , not pink but you get the drift ..
Well , the pink pasture is fantasy just as much as the native one  , just for different reasons . That would be because i snap back into my reality mode and am reminded that i am a poor goat and such pasture as the one above is out of reach .

Which , basically means i am in the market for something between the two extremes pictured and would like to stay in the 6 , 000 - 10 , 000 range .Must have internet connectivity of some kind available ( preferably PLDT ) as well as tv reception that that gets more than 3 channels .   :-)

Now , anyone out there that might have an inkling of rentals that might fit into the price range box mentioned please feel free to contact either the " old goat " or his younger goat partner . Easiest way to make contact is via Facebook since my other half spends a significant amount of time roaming that pasture as Daisy Cline .

Thanks for taking the time to visit and if you hear of anything you think might fit our needs give us a shout between now and May .
