bedspace, anyone?

i have these 4 amazingly annoying roomates. i’ve given them petnames- queen bee, sheryl cruz,it girl and shunda. let me introduce them to you.  queen bee is the evil witch personified. sheryl cruz is the spoiled brat of the century. it girl is the fashion addict. shunda is the leader of the cult.

redundant, isn’t it? to say the queen bee is evil and witch… she really is. there was a time when, out of good nature, i offered to pay for her fast-food meal, she declined saying that it would have been ok if i were rick. ok, im poor but there’s no need to rub it in. on the other side, maybe she was only concerned. i let it go then.  she also asked if my globe-locked samsung z560 was china-made.  i said no, it was from a globe business center. hays! she would also turn off the air fans even if i was eating and it’s summertime.  imagine me sweating in front of the table.  she would also turn her casette’s volume up even if she knows i was sleeping, doesn’t even care coz she works days and i work nights.  she also threatened the landlady that if i don’t go, they would all go. duh! that was last year, we are still living in the same boarding house and in the same room. she acts like an angel in front of other people, but she lets the devil incarnate loose when she’s within the confines of our room. she says her family rose from rags to riches, i mean chicharon to 3-storey house with lots of cars, claiming that her mommy and daddy makes it a point to cook elegant and delicious food when she’s at home.  who cares?  she also bragged about a chatmate/bf who hails from her hometown, whom she met online, an rn, has houses in their hometown, in canada, and in australlia. said rn bf was set to arrive last february, moved to march and finally rescheduled to april.  it’s now about to turn june and she has this alibi that all along, her bf is in haiti doing volunteer work. really now!

here comes sheyl cruz, the celebrity brat.  she’s in a “long-time” same-sex relationship.  she brags that her dyke is so “macho-gwapito” that everywhere they go, romnick would draw attention and second looks. ok, good.  she also says that romnick has a high position in a laguna-based factory (an inspector) and shows off that her mate has a loan-financed motorbike purchase.  ok, good for them, im happy for them. what im not happy about is that she constantly tells me that my gf will leave me if i didn’t have a job, that i shouldn’t let my girl manage my finances, unlike her- holding romnick’s atm card coz they’ve been together for a long time now.well, to each his own. she would pointlessly say that call center jobs are not stable and turns snug when i say that the company incentives are good, benefits are ok and that we have this yearly appraisal. when i intentionally gave the hr her contact number and she was initially interviewed over that phone, she said the line was choppy and changed numbers. conincidence? oh, by the way, she’s under contract by an agency, doing some bpo accounting works and is nota regular employee. she’s also always late in paying for her bedspace and she makes everyone else her slave, she doesn’t participate in maintaining cleanliness, not even her own space.  romnick would stay in the room for a number of days and is so loud when i’m resting/sleeping. sheryl would warn me to tiptoe in the room if romnick is sleeping. ironic?

and now (drum roll), it girl in the house! she worked herself through a 2 year education and is now working in this it company that they (said roomates) all say offers generous pay.  she started this rumor that the niece of my landlady stole her doll shoes and managed to retrieve it only when shunda intervened. when i asked the niece, she told me that she borrowed the shoes, thinking it was sheryl’s.  she keeps on making “parinig” that all 4 of them were to go to a summer trip, without inviting me and my girl.  rainy days are near, no signs of asummer rendezvouz for these wonderfully irritating ladies. a few months ago, she bought this tribal blouse and put it on top of my bag. i think you all know why.

and now comes, shunda- a senior citizen, whose menopausal and only child is in the room right now, creating havoc while she’s at the office. she is partners in crime with queen bee and is financially dependent on the latter. she asks me about money matters which i honestly answer and has asked my girl if our sm purchases are covered by my credit card.  god! what the hell are they all thinking?

these ladies are getting to my nerves. everyday, it’s such a struggle to see them. i only have this space to express my continuing contempt for  all 4 of them.  if i don’t, the knots in my head will all turn loose. help me, god.
