Daily Happy Thoughts

Friends and relatives alike, who knew of our plan to settle down come October, have been quite curious as to our living arrangements after the wedding day. I have even heard suggestions that before the actual wedding date, we should already get a place of our own to make the transition easy. I don’t know about that, knowing how conservative our society is, which is also the same with my parents, but I think living together without the blessing of marriage wouldn’t suit well with them.

But speaking of practicality, I think that suggestion also makes sense especially considering that after the euphoria (is that the right term? lol) of the actual wedding date has passed, we would still find ourselves dealing with the actual fact of deciding where to set up a place of our own right? Well, that is just my take on the matter as I don’t have any experience at it yet..hahaha. I guess it will be an on-the-job training for us.

Eventually, I know we will be getting our own place permanently. I guess now would be the right time to check out some mortgage lenders to hopefully be able to source out funding for this project which we will be undertaking, with God’s grace, together.

Some officemates of mine have decided to transfer to another boarding house here in Bacolod and they have decided to move to the old boarding house of ours near 6th Street. Right now, I think there are about 10 of them in that building. Last year, I stayed at the same boarding house with them but decided to transfer because that place had a curfew, which I didn’t think suited living conditions of yuppies like me..hehe. Actually, I was thinking of applying for an internet connection at that place but it didn’t push through. Where I stay right now, I have an internet connection, which I share with my housemates through a wireless router (which I have mentioned before on a previous post).

Three nights ago, I remember getting a text message from these officemates of mine inviting me and my housemates to come visit them at that former boarding house of theirs, and for us to bring our laptops. They were challenging us to a Dota game. From what I learned, they already bought a router and were regularly playing network games while hooked up through CAT6 cables. Category 6 cables or CAT6 ethernet cables are compatible with both Category 3 and 5 cables.

Anyway, they were already trash texting saying that perhaps we were chickening out because we did not indulge them. Actually, I was looking forward to going there and playing with them since I know that in games like those, I am sure that there’d be beer while we’d be playing in their sala or living room.

Then, the equation would be: Beer + Dota = Bonding. :) 

Sad to say that when we were about to leave for their place, rain suddenly poured, and having no other mode of transportation but public transport, we were forced to resched our set gaming rendezvous. Anyway, I texted them that they were fortunate they could practice some more.

If only they knew how much I sucked at the game. LOL
