My new house

I am now living here in my new abode situated in a secluded paradise. It is still part of Los Banos but more calm and quite, apart from the bustling inferno of the main street. The house is not humongous and opulent but well enough to suite my taste of simplicity. Actually, it is like a complete forbidden paradise with the long and rocky rough road one must serenade into to for one to reach the house. Interestingly the way is lined with unending amusement for the mind. There were numerous shanty-like houses, stacking student dorms, posh apartelles, numerous sari-sari stores, and a carpentry shop. I like seeing them even though they are too mundane; because they hold too much truth about our Filipino society. Men with barrel sized tummy, drinking tirelessly every now and then while their families flocking on the other side of the streets. Numerous students flocked in the karenderia, their plates ladled with miinute fry cries while missing their homes; also other group of “scholars” conversing dynamically like sofist and gurus about love and life over a case of booze. Carpenters in their studios, busily hammering every inch of their life in the a block of wood for a meager earning. Sometimes I even want to stop by and ask if they really are carpenters…
The inner part of my new sanctuary is even better, with a loft and small, now I can really separate cooking from sleeping. I can now be decent enough to invite colleagues and friends with out harboring any ill-feeling because of their frank comments about the space. I now have a ref, electric stove, boob tube with cable, a spacious bathroom, and soon enough some internet (halleluya!). I also have big tables and two sofas! Unbelievable for a reasonable rent fee, don’t you think so?

And best of all, now I have a sister and a roommate all rolled into one!
