finally!
i finally went ahead and got myself a really cool room for next semester.
i chose the $550 one.

ok. so i realize i said it was very expensive. so why did i go ahead with it?

1) because i really really liked it.

2) unlike the first one ($380), the landlord of the chosen place is ultra-cool. he has no problems if i clean the place or not.. he doesn't care if i have overnight visitors every single day. the only criterion he has is that i don't party in the room. because he has two gorgeous little kids.. well, that works perfectly for me!
the pathetic moron that i am, i dont party at all. as for being loud, *ahem*, i'll try and keep it all down ;-) heheheh

3) the $380 one would amount to
$380 rent +
$70 gas +
$15 water =
-----------------
$465/month
-----------------

plus there would be other expenses.. like pooling in money to buy "paper products" (toilet paper, etc).
and the landlord is this late 50's-ish hyperactive lady who thinks she's so young! she had tooo many rules and regulations. and one of them is that the house must always be spotless!

i'm moving out there so i can study. i'm not cleaning the house every single day.

and she has this fat excuse of a daughter (in her 30's) living down in the basement. she has nothing to do with the house.. yet she rats on everyone of the roommates..
she looks like those sewage rats - fat and all - become like that by eating shit!

it was a definite no-no.

4) the chosen house is beautiful. new construction. the entrance to the second floor (my room) is separate. separate kitchen.

5) the second floor has two bedrooms. one will be occupied by a short witch (courtesy: my friends) and the other will be occupied by this guy. a mechanical engineering senior. and he's ultra-cool too.

6) the house is right opposite one of my alltime favorite thai places. yes. that's a good enough reason :-p.

7) .. i can go on and on and on. but i'll end with a repeat. i really like that place.

good.
now i can go.

ciao.
