As of June 1, my housemates and I officially became Taguig residents. Why officially, you ask? For those that don't know, we used to live in Makati. It was technically a Makati address, but it was on the Taguig side of EDSA. In fact, it was so near within Taguig's boundaries that I used to just walk from the apartment to BGC. Not very near but it's walk-able. It's also not far from where we're living now.

The view at night from my window. That long trail of lights is C5.

The place is still near C5. Definitely, you can say that it was an upgrade from our previous home and as expected, it is more expensive. But at least it is safe, unlike our previous one. That's the main concern as of this moment.

I went ahead and created a Foursquare location because I wanted to check-in for the past week we've been here. Haha sorry Feebs! I just had to name it in honor of the now defunct TV series 'Don't Trust The B*tch in Apartment 23!', also just known as Apartment 23. I loved this show so much that even the tiniest resemblance with the show, I try to connect with my real life. Obviously, I'm Chloe.

From this recent episode of Apartment 23 (Yes, shortening it to that because the title is such a mouthful. And yes, I know explaining this took longer) James Van Der Beek's character, an egotistical version of himself, broke the fourth wall... (If it's even more possible to do that) to explain his frustration of how his Dancing with the Stars routine got cut short.


"Hello! I hope you enjoyed this episode of Apartment 23... because I didn't. Do you have any idea how hard I had to work to learn that dance routine? And the producers cut it down to, like what, 20 seconds? Uh-uh. No way. Not on my watch. You're welcome, America."

I have so much love for this show. If you're looking for a TV series with depth, this is not it. It's a feel-good show that has a lot of throwbacks to the days when we were still growing up, and a lot of Dawson's Creek. Even though Chloe can be a little extreme, she can be quite relatable for me in ways I can't even dare to discuss. Haha.

Fun fact: Dawson's Creek, among other many shows, is something I only got to watch after I moved out of Palawan for college and then, work. It's because my conservative household didn't let me watch these shows growing up. Heck, I had to go to the neighbors to watch TGIS.

Have you seen the latest Apartment 23 episode? No? For those who haven't, the title above is a quote from June when she realized that she is a victim to advertising, to what the media imposes as cool, sexy and hot. Often, we call this the bandwagon.


Well guess who just joined another one? Haha me! I just subscribed to a BDJ Box.

I've been seeing blog posts about this since October but I really didn't get hyped by it. You see back then I looked at the website and saw that the contents for the October box weren't displayed so I thought "hmm this might not be worth it since I can't compute how much savings I'll get."

Until Saab Magalona posted about it on her blog. Ack! I'm a sheep!


Check out the starred subscriptions for more value for your money! (Haha but really, I'm just hoping the free BDJ Planner will make up for this impulsive purchase.)

Quick Trivia: Len and I based our entire college thesis on a Belle de Jour planner!
