rent...

When Ato and i decided to have our own lives seperated from his devilish fam, we rented an apartment in Quezon City. I knew that it would cost me a lot of money cuz I wanted him to take care of Amber personally. I just hated yaya's because of the horror stories that came true with my daughter.. tsk tsk..

Then we moved again to another apartment in project 7. and then to Karuhatan, Valenzuela and the last one was in Dalandanan, valenzuela which is actually very near my parent's house. I thought that was the last time I' ll rent ever, since right after the unforgettable getto-fighto with my husband, I dunno where to go next.

I invested a house in Bulacan, but I don't think it's worth my needs. I actually don't need it. Why? I don't have a whole family. ahhmmm, don't gemme wrong. I still have Amber, but I guess since Amber's still young, I don't think we can live by ourselves alone. Lemme re-iterate, I HATE YAYA's. Maybe when Amber goes older and I can just leave her home alone, that'll be a good idea.

After my last encounter with my husband, I used to live on different apartelle's, hotels and what not, just spending 2 days and so there just to hide. But of course, I needed to mind my budget then, so I browsed the internet and found out the condo that I'm currently renting.

It's located in Makati near Makati CBD. Pasong Tamo to be exact..hmm Kingswood Condominium specifically. I liked the place. It's practically near everything. KFC, Mcdo, Chowking, Kitaro, pizza, whatever you want to put in your stomach, it's near. Even the grocery is near.. hayy, I couldn't ask for more.
I lived there from a year and a half and moved from 1 unit to another 3 times. from the third floor to the expensive 24th floor but the scene is soooo breathtaking. I can see the whole Makati, Mandaluyong and even Ortigas and Antipolo area can be seen there. But I cant rent for P9000 anymore because it is too expensive and very small. I transferred to a smaller solo room.
The idea of living in a condo-shared environment is good and very independent. Nobody rules except me. I can smoke, even the house rules says no. :D I don't fawkin care. I don't know their rules.
I suddenly got the idea of what Albert's doing. And I can smell the moolah..My condomates, Lanie, Grace and Kat suggested that we do the same as Albert is doing. Condo-share.
I found a unit in Palm Towers and it's really nice. Although the place is not as decent and near on everything, the place is quiet..but looks scary though...

it's on the 17th floor, Palm Towers Bagtikan St. Pasong Tamo, Makati City

hmm, we're actually checkin on the place and talked to Tita Josie for the bargain

this one's beautiful...

Photobucket

there's the kingswood towers..

So we decided to get the unit in Kingswood as well and compare the pricing as well as the ROI. Fawk, no need to explain. This one's boring :D

if you can just compare Palm Towers to Kingswood.. hmm what can u say?

Here's the pic of a shared unit I'm currently renting now in Kingswood.

tonkatsu reviewed!

I dunno why I was craving for tonkatsu. Is it the egg or the chops of pork.. hmm. I visited 3 restaurants and these are all I got...

TERIYAKI BOY

I always find their tonkatsu bland and unsalty. But I always find myself there whenever I'm craving for tonkatsu. Tboy is my starter :) Thea and I ate at their branch in Medical City. Although, I forgot to take pictures of my tonkatsu(fawk, we were starving that time), I had the background and interiors taken care of.. too jappy..

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket

alright,, next time Il take pics of my tonkatsu.. :)

SUSHI-YA
located at the lower ground floor in the Megamall, this restaurant is a real jappy with conservative style. Their tonkatsu is soo tasty, you won't mind eating without a kikkoman. :P. Egg's raw and add up just right after the hot rice and meat is set up.

Photobucket

Photobucket
nice...

their interiors is soo good as well, big lightings, not too jappy as tboy

YOSHINOYA

sos

It's a bad day for me because of traffic so I sat on my chair lazily. But Anna approached me and told me that Thea has a problem with her pregnancy.
I was soo shocked when I learned the news. Her baby's intestines were out. I cannot imagine myself carrying that problem. I mean, you may wanna check on the mental hospital and check out my name. Im gonna be insane.
After a while, Thea arrived. With no spoken words, I hugged her. Misty eyed, I suggested to join her and look for a better hospital and check for second opinion. She agreed.
We went to Medical City, which is located near our office. Thea is just new in the company and is not eligible to use the priveleges of a health card. sayang...
We were too early as we arrived 8 o'clock in the morning but we went to the information desk to check for an available OB-GYN.
I had a chance to meet and know Thea deeply. Well, she's just new in the company and never been an agent. She applied as a QA Analyst since she came from ACS with the same position. She's pretty as everybody says. And we were so amazed by Elaine's simple comment, "tumataba ka ata mare a" and she said she was pregnant. Whoa, that pretty girl's pregnant.
I watched her checkin on her diet most of the time until she changed her appetite. Malakas na ring kumain, starving every hour for pantry and 4th floor foodie.

rocel and thea :)

...just until that big news arrived. She cried when she told the story and we're there to support her.
She consulted at the children's hospital and had her daily check ups there. She was never supported by her doctor since she was just given regular vitamins and the check ups were not regular and when they found out through ultrasounds about the baby's complication, the doctor didnt setup another consultation date, as well as there was no assurance given by the doctor that there's still a chance for the baby.
Heck! those people need not to be in the hospital, else they must resign their job if they treat their patient as stupid just like that. Phew, headache and depressing moment for Thea..tsk tsk.. `thas bad!
We soon found out a scheduled OB named Dr. Campana and was there in the office at 9AM. While we're waiting, we checked on good views while sitting on Starbucks.

Hotel? or not?

Photobucket

Information desk is like the reception area on a hotel. Staffs were so friendly and approachable.

Photobucket

inside Medical City. We went there early in the morning. Nice and clean.

Photobucket

we're sitting ok. and this is what we got...

Photobucket

pocket garden. niceeey..

we went upstairs and a nostalgic view seemed to be just there to get our attention.

nice nice nice.. hay


We went upstairs after indulging to these beautiful views in and out of the hospital. The doctor was so hospitable and has better and more options for my friend. She asked her to go down to do an ultrasound again to double check if the first check-up is right.

We went down. I knew that Thea was soo nervous that time but she wasn't crying anymore. Good thang. At least. I guess that's because the doctor handled it well. And as seen as the previous tests, indeed the baby has a complication. :(..

After that, we parted ways. Thea never came to the office again. I guess she resigned. Nobody knows even the bosses have no clue since Thea didnt contact them. She needs a break. Real break. Hopefully, the baby will come as healthy as we all wished her. :)
