Living Solo/alone

[buffalosoldier09]

I've been living alone here in Manila since Feb, 2008 and I so love it. you get to do what you wanna do. sleep the whole day, party all night. You can even bring girls along and have sex as much as you want to. haha. The only downside is you also have to work hard to cover up all the expenses for everyday survival. But still, I would always prefer this kind of setup, for now that is... :thumbsupsmiley:

If you can afford it, it is one of the best things in the world.

 

I have been living alone since 16. In Australia - Studying & Working, In Malaysia - Working, In Philippines - Working.

 

A lot of responsibility, a lot of hard work but a lot of fun as well.

 

Loneliness is not a factor, there are friends, your gadgets and of course the internet !!! :mtc:

who needs a friend if you have a wifi connection

i was living alone from '93 up to recently, when my son started living with me, had to get a yaya/help for us too. a bit of a lifestyle change, but for the better naman.

well.. more than what most guys have in mind.. Living by yourself would give one the learning that never taught in school.. That is to work for yourself and pay the bills, to stand on your own when everyone is against you.. To live for a day, hoping that the next day would be a better one. And most of all, to take pride of what you have accomplished.

Living alone is very intoxicating. Ownt time, own rules, a bigger bedspace for a naughty night (lol)...

 

But seriously, it also gives you the empowering feeling of having accomplished something big, even if it means doing your own laundry or cooking your own food (in which case, I have a clearbook full of resto fliers to always have food delivered since I don't cook.)

 

Or even if you don't cook food, you can always go out whenever, wherever, since there is always a 24-hour fastfood/convenience store you can go to! (Good thing Makati CBD is always awake and there's a Ministop at the groundfloor of my condo.)

 

For those of you who haven't tried this, you're missing half your life.

Living alone teaches you how to be independent. It's one of the most exciting and frightening things one could ever do. Which is why I enjoy having to live by myself (although I still go to my parents house to do the laundry, which I personally do).

my family's in a condo in Manila.

i've got this 3-storey house in Bulacan all to myself.

di ko na nga malinis, eh.

sometimes, i don't even feel like going home.

I agree. Living alone motivated me to work harder so I can cope up with the bills that I have to pay and rely only to myself.

And it's true, even if you got your friends, loved ones and family around at the end of the day, you only got yourself to take care of yourself before you can take of everyone else.

 

It developed a certain character in me that made me say to myself that I can face any kinds of problems and cope up with life. It also made me stronger and bolder in making decisions in life cause I got no primary responsibility but myself

 

Besides, since I am alone, I can leave when I want to (of course with bf's permission ), and I got to spend quality time with my significant other in my house anytime we wanted to :thumbsupsmiley:

well said miss MS, masarap lahat yun, the only downside is, you have to do everything, minsan pagod ka na, you'll have to cook pa, kasi sawa ka na sa mcdo, jollibee, and the rest surrounding you. after that, hugas ka plates. want a glass of water, ikaw pa rin ! just like living in the US back here.
