Moving out is a difficult process. First, you have to be ready with the idea of leaving your home. Well, really I’m not living at home. Home for me is about a 14 hour flight away. I’ve been living in Manila now for a little more than 3 and a half years, and staying at my relatives’, specifically my grandpa’s place.
It’s not so bad, but I already moved out once upon a time with a good friend of mine. Then he moved out, and I lived alone for some time, until a storm came, flooded the area I was living in (Thank God I was living, my apartment was on the second floor), and my wallet, cellphone, credit cards, ID’s and all my cash were all stolen from me. So…following that event, I decided to move out and move back to my Grandpa’s place.
But now, I really feel like I need to get out of here. I need something new. I need a place of my own, where I can bring friends over without them being scrutinized for the way they dress, the way they talk or the way that they carry themselves. I like my friends the way they are.
So…if you know of a place, please tell me. I cannot wait to get out of here, seriously. It’s far from my school, far from work, far from anything I even remotely like. It’s traffic to get here, and traffic to get out. It always floods in the areas surrounding it, even with just the smallest amount of rain.
But until, the time that I get to move out, find my own place and live independently, truly, I’ll dream about having a place like this:

The Bed Room:
