Adult Stuff: Apartment Hunting + Partying

So this is not my typical Monday post where I talk about my weekend.

If you're following me on Twitter, you probably caught my tweet where I talked about how being an adult sucks sometimes. That tweet roots from my mixed emotions about looking for an apartment in an unfamiliar territory. I think we got a hold of it though, we pretty much drove around the same area the WHOLE weekend. It was fun but choosing between seeing more apartments and eating was tough. LOL

I already lifted our budget a couple hundred bucks more to get what we want for our apartment. Apparently, I have a pretty high standard now as the loverboy would say. Haha! We need want:
2 bedrooms - because we like having guests over instead of going out and we need extra closet space
windows - because it just feels more welcoming
nice parking spots w/ storage - because I'm paranoid about getting mobbed while I'm carrying my groceries and he drives a pretty nice car
even distance - between his work and my work
lots of parking - for guests
a refrigerator - because we don't want to go through the trouble of spending more $$$ for a fridge
Central AC - because we both like the cold. I'm sure you could only see me say, "It's so cold" smiling while jumping on the couch or bed, getting under a blanket with the loverboy. ;)

Now here are the stats:
Apartments we REALLY like: 3 (one reminds of our house in Manila)
Over-budget: 1
Visited: 15+
Weeks to go: 1-2

Does anybody have any tips for looking at apartments?

In other news...we got our fill of loads of fun Saturday night with our friends to celebrate one of my close friends' birthday. Close like if he were a girl, he'll be a bridesmaid, got it? Okay. He made me drink jager bomb, I can handle the taste but thinking that I had that... #neveragain. I'd rather have a light beer ;)
