We went dorm hunt last week. I was with Shara, Chona and Gotel. (my future dormmates) and Tobi. It was a fun experience because every dorm we see gets better and better. I remember, the very first dorm we inquired about, it was priced at 8k per room for 4 persons. As in WOW diba? Super frugal mode on!! And guess what we did?! WE JUMPED OUT OF JOY! As in literally. (tumatawa ako ngayon kasi naalala ko talaga =)))) shems!! That moment =))))) Only to realize in the end, after seeing the place, and canvassing all the dorms we saw, that the dorm we were so excited to see at first, doesn't deserve any appraisal at all. As in. Very hot. Not super secured. Maganda lang yung labas niya eh. Moral of the story: SUBSTANCE OVER FORM :) The second dorm we went to, it was nice also. Better than the first one. What is cute about this is that, the room is collapsible. You can have it divided into 3 little rooms pa, in case you don't want to see each other's face lol. And you have mini kitchen and own CR. Plus the caretaker was very accommodating. As in super. We even called her Mommy M (Mayet is her name) because we get attached to her already. But we got a problem, no aircon :( Okay lang naman walang AC basta cozy yung room kaso hindi eh. Mainit. So we still have our second thoughts, pero in that moment, I bet on it na talaga! Mommy M was ready to do favors for us pa nga. I felt sad that we have to turn her down now that we've found the one:( And now, we went to the 3rd dorm. It was located above iChill, the home of the trashtalking dota boys. Hahahah. Uhh, we really loved this dorm! As in we reached the point that we wanted to pay already. We loved the security! May CCTV. Very hi-tech locks per room. And we were so fond of the intercom! Since, the gate is always open, we were just yelling "Tao po!" outside the gate, then all of a sudden, there came a voice "Pasok kayo!" coming from the speakers. tawang tawa kami kasi sobrang funny pa nung pagsigaw ni Ate Janet =)) It was a ladies' dormitory. Sobrang okay siya kaso walang sariling CR. Pero yung CR nila parang pang-mall. Yung maraming cubicle. So you don't need to go against each other during bath time. The bedrooms are okay also. Each has study table. And may AC. But we backed out. Why? Kasi lugi kami. 5weeks lang yung summer classes namin but we have to pay for 2full months. which means we have to pay 8k. Sobrang sakit sa bulsa. 5weeks lang kami eh. Tapos babayaran 2mos?! Di kami papayag syempre no. =)) We tried to persuade Ate Janet to give consideration, but she didn't compromised. So we were very alarmed already. We barely have 2weeks to look for another. Luckily, Ira saw our worrying tweets at Twitter and it was very nice of her to refer the dorm she got which is at Residencia Fortuna located at Lacson :) we fell in love with the pictures at their site. It seemed so clean and new. The only disadvantage: mejj malayo compared sa iba naming nakita pero okay na din :)
So this is how our cute little home (for 5weeks) looks like =)
Separate Bath and Toilet =)
No hassle if someone's taking a bath and you need to pee or poo :)
Separate sila eh. As in 2 doors=)
Super bare pa. -_____- We haven't filled the room yet since we're not yet fully paid but we have it reserved already. Maybe for the next few weeks I can post pics of our filled room already. But oopsiedoopsie, I won't bring my netbook pala :( But maybe during weekends, I can still update, when I'm home. Hopefully, if not busy. So there. Our unit is just for 11k/mo lang =) plus the charge for our extra week exclusive of water and elec. Super sulit! :) I can publicly announce already where it is located now that I'm assured that no one can take it away from us. Reserved na yan!! Hahaha. Residencia Fortuna is located at Don Quijote St. (near Piy Margal) at Lacson side of UST =) I can say that this dorm is the best pick :) Sulit and siksik :) The dorm is neat, secured and safe. Free wifi pero sa lounge area lang. Plus we have fun neighbors to goof around with. Super fuuun and exciting! First time namin lahat eh. =) Sana lang maging maayos at matiwasay ang dorm life. And maging helpful siya samin. We did go dorm para may extra time to study. Hopefully we can brightly maximize the time :) I recommend this dorm para sa mga gustong magdorm for the next schoolyear :) Godbless everyone! PeaceLoveHappiness :)
