my dorm

dorm Since I’m still a minor, my mom signed the lease contract for me (June 1 till March 31, 2004) yesterday. My monthly rental is 4000 pesos or $75 inclusive of water and exclusive of electric charges. My dad was sorta freaking out that there’s an additional one time fee called depreciation cost ( $75 ). We found out that it’s like maintenance fee i.e. they clean our bathroom, our common area etc. Great! I don’t have to clean the toilets. Also, I’m applying for a Bayantel phoneline mainly for dialup connection. Installation costs 1,999 pesos or $ 37 and the monthly fee is 399 pesos or $7.00. A bonanza pre-paid internet card is around $2.00 for 20 hours.

dorm Adding all that up, my parents will be spending something like $100 a month for the room, water , electricity and phone/internet connection. Hmm, I don’t know what my food expenses will be like since I can always cook in our kitchenette or bring pre-cooked meals from home. As for transportation, I can walk to the college since the campus gate is right across my dorm. But during rainy days, I can always take a tricyle which cost 10 pesos or 19 cents (one way).

dorm I’ll start moving stuff on June 1 but I’ll have to coordinate with my 3 other roommates on how to furnish the kitchen. Who’s going to bring the refrigerator, electric stove etc? The best thing is I will have a new desktop with printer. Dad doesn’t want me to bring the laptop. There’s a cybercafe inside the building but I ‘ll save more with my own computer and internet connection . I’m sooo excited! Registration is June 9 and classes start on June 16.
