Moved out

Still no internet at my new place. You heard me! I moved out of my aunt and uncle’s place just yesterday. For the very first time in my life, I bought all the essentials i needed to survive. I’m talking about soap, shampoo, garlic, onions etc. I’ve obviously been pushing my freeloading cards on my relatives. hehe. Anyway, another good thing is that our company van drops us at a nearer spot than before! Before, I had to walk 7000 freakin kilometers. Just kidding. Just that in this heat, you’d think it was a million. Now, because the office witches (my officemates who are pinays and panas) didn’t want to ride with us newbies, they requested that we should ride in a different service. The driver’s nicer here. And I won’t have to walk that far anymore!

Back to moving out, so I moved out into a flat just above the flat of my aunt and uncle. So we’re still living in the same building! Hurray me! Since, i wash my own clothes and cook my own food. There’s really little to adjust to. Let me give you an idea on my current living expenses. I’ve decided to just rent a “bedspace”, meaning the only thing I rented or paid for is my bed! Haha.

Expenses breakdown:

                750.00 dirhams bedspace + water + electricity (roughly 9066.96 pesos)

                50.00 dirhams for internet (roughly 604.46 pesos)

                10.00 dirhams for water and gas (roughly  120.89 pesos )

With a grand total of 810 dirhams!! – about  9792.32 pesos!

All I have to spend on now is food, because office transpo everyday is free.

Then it suddenly came to me..

How do you document real life,

when real life's getting more like a fiction each day?

Headlines, bread-lines blow my mind

And now this deadline, eviction or pay! RENT!

Now I’m sharing the room with 7 other strangers! Yup, there’s 8 of us living in one room. 8 of us sharing 1 bathroom, sharing a kitchen, sharing a ref! Hehe. And I don’t even know these people. We’re all girls, fyi. And all pinays. There are 4 double deck beds in the room, and I sleep/live on the top bunk of the first double deck by the door. The person living beside my bunk is a graphic artist, she’s using this really neat macbook. Anyhoo, the ugly part, (if the things i said above weren’t) is that since there’s 8 of us trying to go to work the each morning, and only 1 bathroom... i’d have to take a bath at 4:30am!! While our company van picks me up at 7:40am! Waaaa. I only tried it once yesterday, now i can barely focus on work, much less keep my eyes open. I drank 2 cups of tea today, my head’s hurting, but I don’t feel sleepy anymore.  I think i may be over exaggerating, but i feel like i didn’t sleep a wink last night.

Tonight, i’ll drop by my aunt’s hopefully to catch a free dinner. Then sleep early!

Ciao!
