Disclaimer: Before anything else, I can be guilty of this also. But isn't it annoying when people assume? Especially when it's not true? Wala lang.

Walang ma-blog kaya Friday Five muna! :)

1. How many houses/apartments have you lived in throughout your life?
3! Stayed in Binan for 16 years. 1 year in a boarding house in Esteban Abada, Loyola Heights. And 9 years in La Vista.

2. Which was your favorite and why?
Hmmm tough one. I'd say La Vista. But Binan was fun too, especially because I was growing up then. I miss playing outdoor games with my friends there.

3. Do you find moving house more exciting or stressful? Why?
Well, it wasn't that stressful because we did it slowly. (From Binan to La Vista)

4. What's more important, location or price?
I'm not concerned with the price yet - I still stay with my parents. So for me, location is more important. It's great to be near friends and gimmick places. It's also great to be in a place

5. What features does your dream house have (pool, spa bath, big yard, etc.)?
My dream house would have a small pool, a garden, half-basketball court beside a wall (for walling - tennis), a veranda on the 2nd floor, a small patio. Inside, I want it so look like the houses in an Ikea catalogue, just like Kaboom's (of Pex )! His house isn't that big, but it's really nice.

Shet! *Dream* house talaga!

It's amazing how some people can be predictable at times.

Pantoja

We usually go to Pantoja to have merienda. They serve spaghetti, different kinds of bread, pancit, some drinks, and other food. They have good stuff, except that their service sucks. They don't have a system for lining up, ordering food, and getting the food. It seems that they don't care, because people go to them anyway. It's like a default merienda place for a lot of the employees here.

I am so close to writing a letter to the management. However, I'm expecting this reply: "A lot of people buy from us so maybe you're the only one who thinks that way." A lot of my officemates feel the same. But I guess it's really a Filipino trait - just accepting what happens. "Ma-pasensiya". Oh well. Balitaan ko na lang kayo pag nag-sulat ako.

There are times when you think about something really out of this world. And then you tell yourself "Come on, that can't be. Malabo mangyari yun!"

And then you find out that it's true. Ang galing!

Logbooks

In college, our barkada, called "Keitri", had a logbook. We left that logbook in our tambayan, the Oproom, and we wrote anything and everything in it. Love problems, exam problems, kwento, doodles... I miss that logbook! We gave it to Lawrence, who went to the US. We figured that he should be the one to keep it since he'll be away from everyone else. A few days ago one of the members of the barkada sent everyone else an email via our mailing list. The mailing list had been quiet for while because everybody's really busy. But her email triggered a barrage of replies. The mailing list is semi-active again, thanks to the fact that we treat our messages as logbook entries.

Which brings us to the topic of friends that you miss. Bunny is someone I really miss. It was still okay when she was actively blogging. Somehow, there was still a connection, even if it was just online. However, she's really busy with work now so she doesn't get to blog often. Another friend who I miss is Gina who's in the U.S. right now. We used to spend so much time together. She even slept over once a week! Kayong dalawa, miss ko na kayo.

I am so pissed off.

Last week I had lunch in Steak Joint with 10 officemates. It was first time to eat there. Ha! Bea! Na-answer ko na yung question. :D

Bea posted a question in her blog: When was the last time you did something for the first time?

Hmmmm, tough one! Let me think about it for a while...

There are days when I can't blog about anything, even if I have all the time in the world. For the first time in 2 weeks, I don't have a lot of work, so I thought I could just blog away. But I don't know what to write about. Yes, the war is going on in Iraq, Chicago won as Best Picture in the Oscars, PLDT is trying to be tough and going against the US telcos... Sigh.
