In case of war...



I wrote this in my journal at Starbucks Katipunan a few years back. Thought of this list after seeing the headlines this past few days. While it was kind of funny to make this list, I realise now that you'll never know what things you really need. Which of the possessions you have you'd want to save or take with you if you have to flee. I guess the reality of war has never hit me since I've never experienced it. In my next life as a beauty pageant contestant, I will definitely say, "World peace."

Secrets of the Mansion Revealed (Part 2)

Owrayt!

For the second instalment (isang L lang talaga yan kung the Queen's English. Signs of HSBC brainwashing #1) of the Manalac Chronicles goes online, let me feature the one thing that will always be a part of every struggling entry-level yuppie's life - Meralco Disconnection. Let the Manalac Logbook speak for itself...












If I remember right, YJ (or was it Mac?) rushed to Meralco that fateful day and we got back the light the evening of that same day. However, we had to go through Belen the loud neighbor with curlers telling us not to use candles and letting us borrow her rechargable lamp. Needless to say, we were all filled with shame. The shame. The shame. The shame. I say that three times because at the very moment she entered the apartment and talked to Janus (I think), I was in the banyo, struggling in draining quite a flooded floor brought upon by a very clogged drain. We have never felt so poor in our entire lives.




By the way, Ja, who is Clint? Hehe

(And can somebody tell me unsaon pag-rotate so photos? I'm a complete idiot in this thing...)


Edit....
Gaaaah!!! I completely murdered this post's layout trying to rotate the damn photos. At hindi pa sila na-rotate! Hay!

I am losing my mind


I think I have alzheim.....

Dammit.

Thinking happy thoughts hence the Piolo. I see this billboard everyday on the way to work. In a perfect universe, the people at Bench will maintain this billboard forever as a public service to all Piolo fans.

Secrets of the Mansion Revealed

One night while rearranging my room yet again, it suddenly dawned on me that I have all this space in the apartment. Well, yeah I'm sharing it with Anthony but then we rarely see each other at home. I digress. I'm having this memory loss nowadays. It's like my thoughts are flying everywhere so fast I can't hold on to one. And so I digressed again. Anyway, I was thinking about space. And how much living space I have now that there's now only two of us in the apartment when it used to be the home of up to nine struggling yuppies back when we first moved in.

I went downstairs and looked for The Logbook and it was just there where Janus left it. So, to all Manalac Mansion alumni and Friends of the Mansioneers, here are the first entries documenting our post-college graduation days. Hulaan nyo nalang kung sino nagsabi =) May prize ang makasagot ng perfect.

"Kung bedfriends lang sana, kaya ko pa eh. Pero love is just shit."

"Now you see where the plant is coming from."

"What is that sausage doing there, alone, all wrinkled, and dry?. I love sausages, ha."

"I didn't know that boinking persons would be possessive."

"Ang sarap kaya manlait. Nakakahigh!"

"If doors could talk..."

"Ay, si Jaja! Isa na siyang... Magdalena!"

"Ang sarap kayang magmanyakan!"

"Lani Misalucha, you are a goddess!"


More Manalac entries pag sinipag ako. Hahaha
