Bad feng shui.

May's a long way off. The thing to keep in mind is that every day brings me closer to May and then I could decide if I will be keeping the apartment or not.

There are days when I think moving to Mandaluyong was a mistake -- my mistake. Lately there are more and more days like that occupying my mind except that what could I do? PhP 17K is not a small amount of money to just throw away should I decide to leave before the lease ends. But I don't think I'm the only person in our queer little household who feels the same way about the place where we sleep and eat our meals.

Don't get me wrong: I enjoy the company of my flatmates very much. But the flat seems to emit an air of slight malevolence affecting all of us. The apartment would not love us back. Next summer, it's likely that I'll be scouting for another apartment, hopefully one which would be more welcoming.

you could get some advice from our budding feng shui master, Cyrus :-)

moving elsewhere is more feasible than having to break walls or put on charms at our place. believe me. right, jade?

err, flatmate # 3 here! hehe. seriously, let's not falter just yet. i know i've added my own share of hangups to the pad but am not going anywhere but there. We are the power of 3 after all, ayt? hehehe. :D

and the fourth leg na kasama mo... what says he?

Kikokix Bautista said...

he has no say. he's just a guest, remember? haha! *evil grin*

Windtalker Shadow said...

in that case... the power of three it is!... or we are! :)

It has always struck me as odd that no matter how much I loved that place, it wouldn't care one iota for the residents.

My offer to help you clean still stands.

Windtalker Shadow said...

much appreciated, former housemate and friend. :)

the offer is appreciated, but it think i could reclaim the living area before this week ends. the bedroom was a minor victory this morning.

we are a sad, sad trio of faggots. plus one guest.
but then, on our better days, we are a trio of really fabulous faggots. so that kinda evens things out. :-)

i think the best solution would be to move out and find a better apartment. eventually.

i still think we ought to put local demon masks sa door natin. i'd like to have noh masks, but those a freaking expensive.

seriously. you did a great job on the room. sheesh, i'm not worthy.

anyways, the big box in the living room should be gone soon. i've to go home and bring the thing, and the stuff inside it, with me
