As days goes on, nakakalungkot, sooner or later were gonna be separating our ways…who am I referring to? We’ll my housemates na naging part na ng buhay ko. Halos 3 years din kaming magkakasama, sharing each others ups and down.
Well if you don’t mind I’ll tell you when we started to be together.
2004 when I came here in manila, that’s then the time na got to find a job para may pangsustain sa pagstay dito sa Manila.
Luckily I found a job in DCPI, that’s April of 2004, grabeng exam dun halos maghapon, then I waited for a month when the employer finally called up and told me to report for a training, I was so happy, this was my first job and I have to do my best, We will then batch 37. Got acquainted with good people and befriend them. 2pm to 10pm schedule ko nun and I almost reach 11pm na sa house sa Paranaque where I first live (sa sister ko). Months passed by at natapos ang 1st contract hanggang natapos ang 2nd contract then finally they regularized us, we were very happy, but then nilipat kami ng ibang project.
Dahil regular na at work, I decided to move out, that’s the time na me and my co-workers decided to find a place, bale 4 kami lahat. We found a place naman in Taguig and a very accommodating land lady. Maganda na para sa aming 4 ang lugar, 1 room pero 2 beds, kaya tabi2 na lang kami. Gated siya at we have our own keys, we also make luto in the morning para pag-uwi namin we have our food…
To introduce to you my hauzmate sa taguig, they were: hmm how will I introduced them, sige bibigyan ko na lang kayo ng mga characteristics niya to hide their identities.
First, si Ms. Fairview, she decided to move kasi she got tired of commuting everyday from Fairview to Makati (that’s were we work), skinny na morena, she’s maganda pero mind you may katarayan siya paminsan haha… but that’s ok, prangka siyang tao, pag galit sa isang tao galit talaga, madalas mainlove at madalas fall out of love… nice!!!
Second si Ms. Cavite, she also got tired from commuting everyday kaya ayun she decided to move with us. Si Ms. Cavite is chubby na maputi, never had a boyfriend dahil di niya priority, madaming pangarap para sa family niya at dependable sister at anak talaga.
And Third si Ms. Rizal, kaisa-isang anak na babae ng parents niya, kaya ayun may mga kilos lalaki siya paminsan, hindi niya hobby magluto pero linis pwede pa… tahimik pero laging anjan pag kakausapin mo.
At Ako si Ms. Bicol… hahaha…
Hmm… tumagal din kami halos isang taon sa Taguig, we never had a dull moment, haha pwera lang pag may baha kasi binabaha ung place. Sunday lang ang off namin nun so we spend it at home, kwentuhan, watch movies and etc. Open din sa mga boyfriend ung place, we know we can handle such things na, we are old enough, are we?… haha…
Why a sudden change of house and work?
Bakit nga ba? Hmm during that time, 2 years na kami sa DCPI, kinda bored na at wanted to have a new job, pero the main reason is that, the company is in a dilemma of facing employees high demands kaya bago pa maglala ang lahat we decided to find a job na. As we go on sa job hunting, interview in the morning then after interview ran back to the office because we still have our shift till 10pm.
Then we finally landed a job in Ayala, but only the 3 of us, leaving behind Ms. Fairview sa DCPI. We started working in UPS April 2006, the job is quite good but not the compensation. Bago pa lang kasi ang company, pero sabi ni Ms. Cavite ngaun daw ok na… (hopefully!!!)
After moving into a new work, we then move into a new house… That’s Fen House sa Makati. We finally say goodbye to our home in Taguig and it ends there.
Fen House Experience
Fen House introduction
The Fen House is located in Makati. It is a 4-storey building, units from A to J, we are in unit B… has red gate, well, it is a cozy place with 2 bedrooms and spacious living room kasama na ang dining room, may dirty kitchen, may 1 t&b, may laundry area, may garage (though we don’t have a car) at may roof top wherein you can spend time reading, mag-isip-isip or magpalipas oras.
Take a Look at the House of Fen




Who’s with us?
Hmm this time, I’ll introduce to you mga napabilang sa Fen House. In the beginning, we are 9 and up to now we are still 9 although may nadagdag at naipalit…
First siyempre is ako (si Ms. Bicol), well I love this new place, malapit sa lahat, one thing lang na ayoko dito is ung baha. Pero we used to get over it. 2nd is Ms. Fairview, she still work in DCPI, 1 ride away from this house kaya advisable din sa kanya. 3rd is Ms. Cavite and Ms. Rizal, the three of us magkakasama sa new work. Next si Mr & Ms. Batangas, tama magboyfriend sila, well si Mr. Batangas is kasama namin sa work siya ang nagintroduce sa amin sa Fen House while si Ms. Batangas naman sa iba siya nagwowork. We also have Mr. RCBC because he’s working in RCBC makulit ang batang to pero enjoy kasama, then we have Mr. Bicol, tahimik pero ok kasama and lastly we have Mr. Pampanga hmm… e2 naman is may pagkakuripot na tahimik na minsan maingay. E2 kami lahat, kami ang pioneer ng Fen House.
Let me introduce to you each housemates…
Ms. Bicol (ako yun!!!) No need to further discuss things about myself, all has been said about me… haha did I?

Ms. Cavite – si Ms. Cavite never had a bf to according to her God is still preparing for the right person in the right time, may point nga naman siya… we’ve been in the same company before until I applied to my current job, she’s loquacious and amicable woman. Easy to talk to and a confidant. She’s the eldest among her siblings kaya she’s on the responsibility issue pa… For almost three years now, siya ang lagi kong katabi sa pagtulog, she loves to collect Cosmo magazine halos three years na. She’s the kind of person na madaming pangarap para sa pamilya before she settle down dapat ok na muna family niya… Simple lang ang mga gusto niya, ang mga makakapagpasaya sa kanya, bihira din siyang gumimik pero laging go pag may gimik… but that seldom happens… during payday umuuwi siya because she’s accountable for some financial necessity sa kanilang house pati sa studies ng mga younger siblings niya. Her family’s in Cavite and she had decided to move with us kasi nahihirapan siya magcommute from Cavite going to Makati, everyday’s a struggle para makarating ng work hahaha… so ayun yan si Ms. Cavite…
Ms. Fairview – Ms. Fairview is a morena, having a slender body pero maganda. Sometimes mataray at nagtataray talaga when needed. Siya naman sa grupo ang madaling mainlove… pero madali rin mafall out of love… February 14 ang bday niya pero sad ang love stories niya… pero I’m proud of her, she can handle all it though sometimes with tears but it makes her even stronger and geared up in facing new found love. Gaya namin siya rin, financially assist her sister in her studies… nursing kasi. Pero just this year her sister graduated. Masipag to lalo na kung galit haha siya all-out sa pagpapakita ng emotions when she’s mad, she’s mad. When she hated someone, it shows, but when she loves someone she’ll cherish it.

Ms. Rizal – Only girl ito sa kanila, kaya sometimes she has that boyish move… what she feels she also voice it out, siya naman laging umuuwi sa kanila pag weekend bihira mo makita sa fenhouse. Linis naman at laba ang hobby niya pero she seldom cook. She just moved in into a new job, a better one kaso nightshift. Kasama ko na din ito sa dati pa naming house hanggang fen house. She has just surpassed a 5-year love affair with somebody else na isang araw na lang ay nagulat kami na biglang it ended. Pero she’s happy now, she’s with a new guy na mas better than before.
Mr. Bicol – Mr. Bicol is tahimik pero when you get to know he’s makulit, he loves adobo na niluluto ko pero di ko lang alam if he still love it now kasi he moved out of fenhouse na… but I’m glad I got the chance to be with him and get to know him better, siya ang una kong nakasundo sa mga guy sa fenhouse batch 1…
Mr. Pampanga – e2 naman eh ang tahimik na minsan pag nasa mood ay madaldal, kuripot pero pag namili ng mga gamit niya ay mahal, sosyal at maraming anik2 sa katawan… talo pa kami… pero wag ka masipag maglakad to, pero mainipin… Maaga matulog at galit sa kalat… Hey bro, mag-asawa ka na your not getting any younger na ha…

Mr. RCBC – you may wonder why Mr. RCBC kasi he used to work in RCBC that time… e2 naman naku sobrang kulit, e2 ang lasenggo at nagsmoke sa amin, mahal niya buhay niya no? pero sweet to lalo na kay Inay (ako un)… kaya nga namimiss ko to eh… pero e2 naman ung walang tiyaga sa work pero madaling matanggap sa work… hmm I’ll tell you a secret ang crush niya ay si Ms. Fairview…

Mr. & Ms. Batangas – They are lovers.
Ms. Dreamer – she stayed with us for a couple of months kasi wala siyang matuluyan, so we let her stay sa hauz since it can still accommodate one person sa room namin… but she also left for abroad…
Batch 2 Replacement
Nawala si Mr. RCBC and Mr. & Ms. Batangas sa batch 2 edition… Pumalit sina…
Mr. Marikina – He’s a good friend of mine. Tahimik pero shallow man and a thinker. Madaming gustong gawin, gustong itry and he’s doing his best to do so… He used to call me Inay. Pero I call him kuya haha contradict noh? Pero you can learn many things from him. He loves to make blogs and reveal himself there. Things that I don’t know about him I read it in his blog. The more you get to know him, then the more you wanna befriend him.

Ms. Batasan – she stayed us not so long…pero the times she’s there with us, naku, maraming food, she’s really a generous woman and a bighearted one… hope she can reach all her dreams… to go abroad and to be with his loveone there… I wish you all the luck and thank you so much for being a part of us…
Mr. JP – when he moved in hinatid pa to ng kanyang parents, such a baby huh?… he’s good, madaling kausap pagdating sa fries and mclutang… pero makalat to ung mga things niya ang makikita mo sa mesa… masarap din kausap… at wish niya pumayat na siya… harinawa…
Mr. Antipolo – he lived with us siguro mga middle of the year na, mejo nahirapan na siya maguwian, he’s Ms. Rizal’s boyfriend… tahimik pero makulit din…

Ms. San Isidro – she’s my kapitbahay’s sister… she stayed with us siguro mga four months pa lang until now… tahimik pero she loves to laugh, ang daling patawanin…
Those are the housemates batch 1 and 2 pati mga additional… hope you get to know them better…
What’s our Happenings?
We used to cook at home, nagbabaon sa office at sabay2 kaming kumakain ng lunch, nagkakasawaan na nga kami eh haha… We also spend time watching movies, we also went to Baywalk dati, inuman minsan pag trip lang magpakalasing, but most of the time we spend it differently and in our own.
We spend our Christmas party sa Providence, exchanging gifts sa house at un na magdamagang kantahan… hanggang sa uwian na…
Conflicts we encountered…
We’ll di naman naaalis ang conflict lalo pa’t magkakasama sa house, things like gawaing bahay, arguments na naayos naman at disagreement in one’s opinion… those are the conflicts na naencounter namin. But we get used to it at naaayos naman siya.
Batch 1 Housemates end…
On June 2007 we decided to part ways, naunang lumipat si Mr. & Ms. Batangas and si Mr. RCBC, naiwan kami sa Fen House coz we tried hard na maghanap ng house, unluckily we weren’t able to find one… kaya ang ginawa namin naghanap kami ng ipapalit sa kanila…
Is there any love and frightening stories inside the house?
As far as we are concerned, wala naman, we all have our loveones some are outside the house, pero ung nadevelop inside the house, it never happened. We treated each other as brothers and sisters, a confidante and a friend… we all have that respeto…
Pero how can we forget about BRITTANY… the ghost inside our bedroom, bakit nalaman naming babae? hmm because some of our housemates have that power to see creature normal people can’t see… we’ll more of pananakot siya paminsan pero we get use to it… merong pasara-sara ng pinto, papatay-patay ng ilaw at meron pang may i cry at night haha pano kaming di matatakot niyan pero life’s like that, she has her reason siguro para maging ganun pero nalalabanan naman ang fright eh… basta we all know God is there for us…
After June 2008 what will happen?
This is the distressing part of the story, we have to move out of the house this month kasi our contract will end na. We were busy looking for a new house, maghihiwa-hiwalay na and each of us have our plans.
Here are the plans…
Me, Ms. San Isidro and my kapitbahay will be moving in sa new house, we found one in Taguig, si Ms. Cavite because their office transfer to MOA maguuwian na siya, si Ms. Fairview she decided to move with us, Mr. Marikina will be going to Bacolod to try something new pero he’ll stay with us mga one month siguro, si Ms. Rizal and Mr. Antipolo will find a place to stay and Mr. JP according to them magcocondo siya (anyway he can afford it naman), si Mr. Pampanga baka magsolo ng room…
That’s the plan… We will part ways na… sad noh? But life’s like that somehow it will happen and it is happening now…
What message do I wanna say to them?
Hmm… guys, we will part ways pero always remember, Inay is just a text away… alam ko mamimiss niyo ko or better yet mamimiss ko kayo pero this is life, mangyayari din ito hindi man ngaun pero sa mga darating na araw. I know you can take care of yourself, you’re all good… each of you has stories to share… sana lahat tayo happy ending… I will miss you guys and it’s time for us to create our own stories and memories with other people… Be happy and I’m just here… Love you guys… J
