ONLY TWO boxes remain to be unpacked. one, the extra large box from home depot containing shoes and the other, a johnny air box containing bathroom stuff. and then it would be official that we are really done with unpacking. of course, this is not true, we still have boxes full of winter clothes, boxes full of clothes to be sorted before it could be sent to manila, and boxes of documents that joy needs to shred. but the first two boxes are the ones in the line of sight and the only thing uglyfying the apartment. i’d say we’re done with the move-in as soon as the paintings and the posters are on the windows and walls.
TODAY, I unpacked the books and shelved them with the same arrangement as before. there is a space for my reference books, followed by my crk books, and then the rest of the books in no particular order. on the tv stand are two pieces of fiction and two pieces of non-fiction. on my bedside table is “under the dome” by stephen king that i plan to re-read before the tv series starts next month.
WE’VE GOT cable (free hbo, cinemax, showtime) as well as internet (free turbo for a staggering 50Mbps download speed).
EVERYTHING THAT needs to be assembled has already been assembled including joy’s working table by the window. she has yet to start working on it though. but it is nice to know that it is there and that we won’t be fighting for the precious piece of real estate called the dining table to get some things done. in an alternate universe, we have around three thousand US dollars to spare so we could buy ourselves a descent dining table that could seat six people. for now, we are making do with the old one.
THIS SPRING weather has morphed back into winter. while rain is OK with me, it the godsdamn cold that is a pain. fifty degrees in may? what is that?
