About My Dorm

I've never really written anything about the place I'm staying at. About time I do so.

It's a quaint place. I share a room with my girlfriend and it's quite spacious. Enough for her stuff and mine and even a wall cabinet. Of course, my girlfriend has more stuff than I do. I haven't gotten around to buying more stuff for myself just yet.

Anyways, the two bathrooms are communal. The common room's where I have my TV. Thankfully the other guys are not abusing the boobtube too much. And there is a number of interesting tenants as well. Obviously I'm going to put them in aliases. Heh.

There's the next-door neighbor's are P and M. P's boyfriend is overseas and might be returning to the Philippines soon. Also, it's looking likely that P will move out this August. And M? She defenitely needs to move out soon. Her work's at Quezon City. That's HOURS away from Makati and we're talking about rush hour here. She's getting thinner by the week.

And then we have the transients T, L, and E. They all know each other from before staying at the dorm. E and L are in the same music band. I don't seem them often and when I do see them, they're usually jamming together to practice or they just came from an event. T is quite a party girl too. At the very least, she goes to an awful lot of parties.

And then we have J. he has a room all to himself and likes to keep it that way. Unless his girlfriend's over but she's in Cebu and she'll be there for years. Anyways, he's got nothing to do but collect movies and anime figures. Those or earn money to buy gifts for his girlfriend.

And then we have D. He's the one that cracks us up sometimes. He's engaged to be married soon and he still won't give up fooling around with whoever he sets his eyes on. And to think that his fiancee's dad is a soldier. On active duty. Who still has his service firearms with him. You get the picture.

And then we have B. He's the perv of the place. Ok, it's a given the guys are pervs to some degrees but he bakes the cake. I mean, his social skills can REALLY use a lot of polishing. He can be creepy sometimes. He holds his head by hunching forward and looking down his nose. Not a very comforting sight really.

Oh. The newest tenant. M2. He's into buy-and-sell but income's shaky. Which is why he still hasn't been able to pay me my 150 pesos despite being weeks due. Sigh. People often seem to owe me and I'm too lazy to collect. Gotta change that.

Anyways, those are the people staying on my floor, the second floor. Hmmm... I gotta include the big rat that raids our garbage from time to time, the mice that scurry where ever they please, and the cockroaches that range even farther.

No matter how many roaches we kill, they just keep popping out of the worst places. Anyways, the food pantry's loaded with roachballs so there's no way in heck they're raiding our larder.
