ok i promise if you'll be faithful and read my blog entry, you will finally see my roommate's photo at the end of this.

last night, i had enough of my living room, and i snapped again.

yeap. i called for the 1st quarterly intra-apartment convention.

it lasted for officially 3 minutes.

Before anything, I would like to thank ACJC for whatever training I got over there regarding pep talks. mwahahaha.

what i said: guys, our living room kind of stinks. so just some stuff: please make sure that you wash everything after you use it. Pots and pans, dishes, etc. i just don't think our living room smells very nice.

the real message: 3 of you, look. our living room is super messy, ok? the two of you, look, if you want to party, then at least wipe the damn floor afterwards. the floor is still sticky. don't you dare think i dont take into account each and every person that comes into this room every night. i catalogue all your parties, all the paraphernelia involved - booze, crackers, fruits, whatever. the point is using our living room is just like using the toilet: when you dirty the thing, you flush it yourself. easy right? oh, and you. don't think i forgot about you, and think that only two of them are at fault. yes, i see you smiling thinking everything's fine. you who like making burritos and your own "AYAYAYAYAYIIIEEE" capuccinos to spicen up your life, please, clean up your mess in the kitchen. for goodness' sake i told you last week to clean your mess in the sink, you only wiped the pan. use your eyes, man - you left the tupperware stained with heaps of salsa, the plate you used to dice ground beef and beans, the tiny cup you use to brew concentrated caffeine, and rotting chunks of lime and avocado, all in our sink. you think it's very nice to smell, huh? you think after 7 months we come back to it and find some Mexican wine floating there and make money out of it? well bad news for you. this roommate here doesn't approve of alcohol, not even its sale.

what i said: Also, since winter's a couple of months away, I've recently noticed that a lot of us here have started to catch the flu. Please take care of yourselves and try to stay as healthy as possible. If you want I have 1000mg vitamin C tablets in my room. Also, I will try to get us some boxes of facial tissue paper so that you can clear your noses with them. Just try to stay healthy, ok?

real message: (well, this one's really directed to my roommate) for goodness' sake, clean your nose. I will already buy tissue for you. All you have to do is grab one and start blowing away. Isn't that easy??? Oh, and do you know why I called for this meeting in the first place? because you pushed my patience to the limits. My goodness, I was there reading my lab manual trying to prepare for lab tomorrow, and for 30 gruelling minutes, you were just breathing through your congested nose. in and out, in and out, like you were teasing the damned booger. i'm gonna make you come out now okay? NOT!!! oh, i'm sorry booger, I was just joking. ok, now you can come out. NO WAY BROTHER!! It felt as if it was a big joke, like you have lots of fun doing that. Bad news for you boy, ermmm, whatever, your roommate comes from a civilized place called Asia! Now take a piece of tissue and clear your nose! Maybe I can sleep more soundly.

Yeah, that's about it guys. thanks for your time. Haha don't you think it's so fast? it's been two months already! 6 more months and we're out of this apartment.

Weirdest moment of the night: when I said that everybody started talking about how much they will miss the place, and how they wanted the 6 months to never end.

For the first time in my two months here, I was the only person smiling, and everyone else was reminiscent, nostalgic, whatever.

I can't wait to get out.

Well, there you go. a very brief meeting, I must say, but a very effective one. My living room is the cleanest it's been since we first came, and my roommate cleaned up his nose and his side of the room, which made me happy.

For about an hour.

Yes, he still snored. with the effects.

How I eventually got to sleep is another story/adventure by itself, which I will not tell anymore, because it's not funny anymore.

Ok, as promised, here goes:


it was so hard to find one that encapsulated his essence so much. This isn't the best one, but it will do.

All of you, repent now for ever thinking he was cute.

And don't you lie to me, I know you skipped the blog entry. So if you did, please kindly go back up. I think my entry is more worth reading than looking at this.

Please acknowledge when you have seen it, ok? I'm not planning to let it stay afloat in cyberspace for very long. I'm doing it a favor, ok?

I'M OUT!!!
