Finding a house not quite a home

A home is a place where a person or family lives, perhaps spends much of their time, or where a person is comfortable being. While a house (or other residential dwellings) is often referred to as a home, the concept of "home" is broader than a physical dwelling. Home is often a place of refuge and safety, where worldly cares fade and the things and people that one loves becomes the focus. Many people think of home in terms of where they grew up, or a time rather than a place.

Since it can be said that humans are generally creatures of habit, the state of a person's home has been known to physiologically influence their behavior, emotions, and overall mental health. For example, in the introduction to the film Patch Adams, the concept of "home" is compared to the human need for peaceful sanctuary and the absence of it thus leading to restlessness. Such restlessness, as can be seen by that particular case, may lead to depression and, ultimately, to a loss of sanity. That's just what's in my mind, and to me, for my current situation where i am looking for an accommodation fit enough to curate my physical beings for the next 5-6 months at least, i won't called my next house "home", yet.. at least.

From the morning of 8th March, 2007, till 10th of March, 2007, i've been looking around for a dwelling which suits my criteria, budget as well as my personality (:p, i will never wanna stay in a house with deep maroon paints.. no way!). Well, instead of looking at the entire house, i am aiming for just a room, and again it skew down the whole bullcraps that i spent so much time typing about. Anyway, just so you know, i am still homeless or.. "house"-less at the moment.. sighz...
