artist rendition of author contemplating moving out
after much deliberation, hesitation and indigestion, i’ve finally decided to move out of my apartment. i’ve spent the last 4 years of my life rocking and rolling around that place, and by end of month it’ll be empty and just another memory to me. i’m moving in with a couple of friends to a 3-bedroom apartment unit along shaw. the rent’s a whopping 23k to be divided among us, but what the heck. first time i saw the place, luuuuv at first sight. i knew i was meant to live there.
i’ll miss spanky for sure. spanky’s my apartment btw. i named him that about 3 years ago, when after a full day of scrubbing, fixing and redecorating it looked spanking new. don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t a pig sty before i settled in. i was actually the first tenant, i got first dibs. but my first year with my current company was the worst year of my life. money spent left and right on things i needed for my place, my family giving me the stink eye everytime i was home for the weekends because they didn’t want me to move out, a horrible breakup with a cyclops, and back-to-back training classes. so anyway, since my last spanking makeover about 3 years ago my place has always been kept clean and organized. which is how it should be considering it’s no big space. the last major overhaul i did on spanks was after ondoy, when i had to buy new everything. that was september 2009.
and now i’m feeling a bit melancholy. i’m giving up my quiet, quaint place and moving in with 2 loud, obnoxious friends who can’t clean, cook or shut up. sometimes i think this is me being at my most masochistic, and that i might regret moving in with fez and loo in the long run. but a change would do me much good at this point. sure it’s more expensive, sure i’ll lose some privacy, and i’ll definitely have to make major adjustments of my tolerance on spoiled brats and an only child. but i’m at that point in my life where i’d accept any change as a good thing. i freely welcome any diversion thrown my way, even if it entails having to completely change my living space.
so let’s all raise our glasses to spanky. you saw me through think and thin, through good and bad times, heck, even through hell and high water. you helped make me a more responsible, organized, and most importantly a more mature person by giving me the peace and quiet i needed during times of turmiol. you will always be the hallmark of my emancipation from my parents.
to spanky. you’ll surely be missed. KAMPAY!
nice! may pangalan pati apartment..moving on na talaga literally pati apartment iniwanan na. goodluck sa bago mong kuta. at sa mga friends mong maiingay..hehe!
can you show us some pics of your new apartment? it sure looks good. and safe from flood I guess.
yep, it’s flood-free. i hope it is, haven’t heard anything about mandaluyong being a flood-prone area.
and yes, i am taking pics of my new place, need to send them to my sibs coz they’re pretty psyched about me moving. they’ll finally have a bigger place to crash when they fly back here on vacation.
rest in peace spanky!…i hope mabait na ang next owner mo.ahahhha..
I dont have a name for my new room,just transferred here midle of jan but shit, i really want to move out and transfer to another room. Pumayag lang ako mag transfer dito kasi i really want to experience having someone at the same house. But worst, naging katulong ako. May pagka OC ako kaya i dont want see things messing around.grrr…im still contemplating though. I really want things anew. From place, friends, job, and etc.
Narealize ko, im better off alone sa isang room rather than sharing it to someone who doesnt know what hygiene is.
bat mo nman pinatay ang japartments ko? kwawang spanks, ako tinagayan ko lng, si maldito pinaglamayan..
well, i’ve been living by myself for 4 years, so i guess it’s high time i experience something new. housemates would be a good diversion for me right now. i have my own pet peeves, and they’ll all be put to the test this weekend when i move in with fez and loo.
ang haba…blog ko to?ahahaha
mi casa, su casa amigo..
23k? sus, barya lang ‘yan sa’yo. hehe. pag nababasa ko ang word na “spanky,” iba naiisip ko.
it’s good you found company; they’ll be a big help to forget what needs to be forgotten. wag lang pong dalasan ang threesome ha?
heineken, itong 2 housemates ko prehong may bf leche, kya lumalabas plagi na pra akong asungot everytime kumpleto kmi. kainis, pro what can i do dbla..
