Rein was “strategically” bugging me to write an article about her when I suddenly remembered our “apartment days”. We used to stay in a two-bedroom apartment together with Brendzkie, Rhog, DinDin, Jo, Mitch and Charvin.
For storytelling purposes, I’m going to call the two bedrooms as La Union and Ilocos. Rein, Brendzkie, Rhog, and I occupied the La Union room while DinDin, Jo, Mitch and Charvin stayed in the Ilocos room.
We had a fetish for street foods like isaw (grilled chicken intestine), adidas (grilled chicken feet), kwek kwek (quail egg boiled and deep fried), balot (hard boiled fertilized duck egg), fishballs, squidball and grilled corn. Darn! It tastes heavenly!

On the other hand, the two rich kids (Brendzkie and Rein) alternately treats us to a posh and divine steak meal whenever they feel like it. Perhaps they just want to neutralize our taste buds from eating the celestial street food.
We normally stay and “party” in the apartment most of the time. “Party” pertains to:
- heart to heart talk while gulping a bottle of vodka and tequilla (occasionally)
- tête-à-tête in our rooms, living room, dining table and laundry area coupled with guffaw and sobbing
- dancing our favorite songs, Come On Over by Christina Aguillera and Music by Madonna

Note: Rein used to dance from the second floor down to the first floor with her trademark “wiggle hips” step. Also, Brendzkie loved to dance on the sofa, on the bed, or on any platform with her favorite striptease moves. 🙂

Our preferred place for a spirited night out was High Altitude bar. And to sober up, we go to Pagoda for a breath of fresh air and take snapshots during wee hours. Ha!
Visitors frequent our renowned quarters and to name a few, they were Maven, Miriam, Edel, Allan, and Sean. For me, the one who left a far-fetched mark was Maven. She had affinity with my pillow. She loved to cuddle it and used it when she takes a nap in the La Union room.
The catch? It’s my “feet pillow”! I can’t help but to burst out in hearty laughter when Rein, Brendzkie, and Rhog informed me about Maven’s favorite cushion. It must be my feet’s aroma which was stuck to the pillow that got her spellbound. Ha!
Before I spill the beans about the ketchup and condiments adventure in Jollibee and Greenwhich… Zipping up my mouth now… err… should I say ending my article now… Whatever!
By the way, Rein, did Maven ever knew the secret of the “perfumed” pillow? Just curious. 😀
Gotta snooze! Signing off for real… for now!
(Personal Note: Thank you Rein for taking time in digging and sending the photos! Merci Beaucoup!

I miss the foods! Never mind the cooking(I’m not good at it), what about washing the dishes?? We had so much fun in our apartment. Oh, I’m just missing everybody right now…
@rein hahaha I can’t forget DinDin’s egg omelette recipe… and I learned something from Brendzkie, to eat frozen rice and chicken adobo. LOL
i don’t know about washing the dishes, i usually cook if Jo or DinDin is not around. LOL
it’s you and Brendzkie who was assigned in washing the dishes because both of you don’t know how to cook. hahahha
Regarding about the “perfumed” pillow I think it helps maven from making their thesis. Her stress reliever coz she sleeps so comfy the way she cuddles it. Not that I think of if somebody told her about it that its your feet pillow… LOL
she might find out here, what ya think?LOL
@rein hahaha she did not yet confirm if she already knew 10 years ago, or she only learned about it now. LOL
Wow, me and anthony r wid u guys at hiGh al and pagoda!
@Yang yeah! reminscing the days. hahaha
