first 3 days
it has been 3 days since i moved in to our new apartment. i was thinking that i won't be able to sleep properly for the first few days. then again, i realized that i'm such a sleepyhead that it doesn't seem to matter where i am, so long as i have a bed, a pillow and a blanket, i would fall asleep.
what else? hmm... so far so good, it's been nice having kaye (and the babies) and sheila as housemates (teng has yet to move in next week) and lea, julie (and a whole lot others) as the friendly neighbors. actually, lea seems to be part of the household already. besides staying in the house longer than in her room, she already has some "interest" in the house (uhh... the oven toaster, a plate and a fork). but really, i like it when lea stays in the house... you know, bonding sessions, entertainment, etc.
oh, the food. this is really amazing! we've been sharing our canned goods, cooked food (to be reheated), etc. then take turns washing the dishes. seems to me like playing "bahay-bahayan" then i realized that this is living independently. not as easy as it seemed to be but (just like all other things) i should be learning from this. now, i realize that i should be mindful of the use of electricity, the water, locking the gates and doors, and all other things which i didn't seem to mind when i'm at home.
that's about my first 3 days of my "dormer's life." 3 days... so short a time, yet a lot of new learnings. and i know, there's more to come. for now, i'm at home to pamper myself a bit... (i miss my bed!!!)
