My Ten Rules for Sleepover

By cory josue
The view from my roof top: The Ayala Skyline. 

Since I live alone, sleepover is very welcome in my home. Although it doesn’t happen often, I have my regular visitors. My sleepover gang are usually friends (and sometimes, they bring someone along) and they can pretty much do whatever they can. Mi casa es su casa. However, I also have boundaries. 
After all, it is my home, I spend my free time taking care of it, and I don’t want it to get wreck in 8 hours.

So, if my friends happen to bump across this blog, I have 10 rules for you if you want to stay over at my house. It’s not that hard to follow, really.

It’s OK to have sex in my house...

...just make sure that it doesn't wake me up or other people. Better yet, keep it discreet. Throw your condoms in the thrash, but please cover it in paper. Also, don’t ask permission to see the roof deck because for all I know, you’ll be doing it there, too. Just go upstairs and keep a straight face after doing it, OK?

You can empty my fridge...

...but make sure leave my chocolates alone. Well, my fridge is not always full anyway, but a girl’s gotta have her chocolate fix, right? You can drink all the alcohol I have or fix yourself a salad (yeah, I’m trying hard to be healthy like that), but never bring home my stash of chocolate.

Unannounced guests are welcome...

...just don’t come too late, as in 3 AM because some people might already be sleeping and damn it, my door bell wakes up the shit out of everyone. Really. And of course, you've already missed some of the fun. However, if you’re still coming late and unannounced, have the courtesy to bring alcohol or food.

When I serve food, eat it...

...even if it sounds foreign in your own world. FYI, I try to serve healthy food so please don’t insult granola and yogurt. I also spend time and money in making a meal plan for my guests so the least you can do is insult the food that I serve you. You wouldn't know, it’ll be first and last time you’ll meet these super foods.

I encourage you to check out the things in my house...

...but please, don’t be a narcissistic and look at yourself in the mirror every five minutes. Don’t you have mirrors in your house? You don’t need it in the first place because you look good already. So please, peruse my books, my CDs, and even my shoes. You are not here to look at yourself in the mirror. You are here to chill.

You can wreck my place...

...but make sure that you can clean it up after. Because you are an adult and you should be responsible for your actions not just in my house, but also in your life. Get your shit together, dude.

Drink whatever alcohol is available...

...and don’t complain about it because dude, that’s alcohol. Nobody complains about it unless you’re into Alcoholics Anonymous; and last I checked, I don’t have friends who are member of it. Don’t say shitty stuff about the alcohol in my house because that’s the way I like my wine and beer.

You can wear my clothes...

...but be sure to put it in the hamper after using and not just lying around. I’m a gracious host and the least you can do is to leave my clothes lying everywhere. Do your part, dude. Do your part. I’m your friend, not the maid.

A movie is good...

...and while you’re at it, you can also bring speakers. Because my house is short on anything home-entertainment related appliances (but I now have a notebook so yay!), I rely on you dear friends to bring the entertainment—and it could be in any form.

Let’s talk

No buts. No anything. Let’s just talk. I invited you in my abode because I miss you and I just want to talk to you. Let’s hang out and don’t check your Instagram or Facebook every single time because it’s so annoying.

Or, we can just sleep. What say you?

Weekend 2: UPLB-Lipa with Sargosticks

I have a feeling that you don't even know who Sargosticks is. Well, they are my musician friends from UPLB. The members are Herson, Dan, Russell, and Ian. How did I became friends with them, you may ask. Well, Herson is a Philosophy major and Ian is one of his profs. Kaye was a Philo major and together with her blockmates Jou and Yadz, we decided to live together. Yadz is super friends with Herson and that's the connection began. They would hang out in our house and play music. Sadly, Kaye did not become part of the group. Each member had a girlfriend, but me and Yadz are what you can consider as groupies. Many times we hang out in college that's why the friendship grew stronger. After graduating from college, we only see each other once in a while, but always, the reunion is filled with laughter, chika, and of course booze. Last weekend, the original plan was to get together in Lipa, but Ivee realized that it was also Febfair in UPLB so we decided that before we hit Li...

Weekend in Calaguas

By cory josue

Whoa, I'm on a roll! Writing another entry? That's so not me. But since one of my New Year's Resolution is to write more on this blog, here goes my Calaguas diary.  The details of this trip escapes me now because I did this in May last year. Also, I think the best way to do this one is through a visual diary (hell yeah, first in this blog; also an attempt to make this entry as fast and short as possible). So here it goes! Edit: Don't believe the paragraphs above, I wrote that a lot of moons ago and I am too lazy to edit. :-) Went there with Oli, my office mate. This trip was so unplanned, I did not even have accommodations and I even got lost with the bus terminal. The buses going to Daet is not located in the usual spot that I go to whenever I go home. Instead, they are located along EDSA. Because we did not book any tickets, we had to fall in line, but it was so god damn long that's why we settled for the ordinary bus. It was a long and sore ride, but I ...

February Book Choices

By cory josue

I'm happy because I hit one of my goals for the month: to read at least three books. This month's choices are interesting--ranging from good to worse (seriously!). Still, I wanted to read The Fault in Our Stars, but Met said it's already in the box so there's a small chance that I'll read it in the next two months (we plan to move mid-May).  Here are the books I read for this month: Photo from www.mrc.org  Ugh. I forgot to take a photo holding the book (I'm hoping that this will be my signature book pose)! Ate borrowed this when she left Manila the first time she was here. She said that he wanted something to read while on the plane. Anyhow, despite what you said that this is Dan Brown's worst book, I beg to disagree. I think that this is my favorite Dan Brown book simply because I read it word-for-word. Confession time: Brown's previous books didn't really paint a good picture in my mind because I always read them hurriedly. This time...
