Full House 🏠

By: Otakuhoo

A home is some what like a place you can dwell unto if you’re so tired of the world and badly needed a place to recharge. A safe haven that you can just grab every thing you need like love and support from the rest of the people living in it. In other way, it can’t be called a home either if the ones living in it don’t reciprocate feelings for each other. Rather, it’s simply a house.

I’ve tried living in a random house. When I got a job away from my country, I’d never thought I could find a similar home I had back in my home country. I lived in a villa together with my colleagues at work. We were all girls (which lessen the excitement) in there. I’ve always wanted to try a kind of liberation where I get to live with random people with variety of personalities and beliefs. We were 14 girls when we took our first step in the house and hastily picked our own rooms and roommates. Luckily, I have my very own buddy with me in that journey so automatically she’s gonna be my roommate.

The girls I lived with were quite older than me. I’m the youngest in the herd (since most of us are plus size girls!). There goes my introvert personality again. I’m not much of a talker at first, scrutinizing people I guess had been a hobby of mine before I get to slide in to their world PARTLY. They were wonderful women with different life stories and battles that had overcome with. Let’s start from the ones in the ground floor, shall we? 👍🏻

Gelli (Korean-ish) 🇰🇷

She’s a sweet little introvert just like me. ✌🏻✌🏻 (only the introvert part 😬) Looking at her, you could probably think she’d never done any white lies or rebellions in life. She’s very intimidating to look at and to be with. You could really distinguished how dark-skinned you are if you happened to sit beside her. She’s a total ideal package of a girlfriend must have for boys. It’s freakin’ me out how come she’d never had a boyfriend. With a god given beauty and fairness like hers, damn what else guys could be looking for. Seriously, this girl never had a boyfriend? 🙀🙀 A shock to my bones and to my internal organs.

Very well, she looks even hotter I mean cuter with the eye glasses. Too bad boys, she’s an oppaholic. You have to be an oppa-ish guy before you can date her. 🇰🇷🇰🇷

Babylyn (The Pretty Amazona!🇧🇷)

If I’m the youngest based on age, well this girl just beat me being the youngest based on her name. She’s a baby for Pete’s sake. Guys would be calling her baby without any reason cause that’s really her name. I wonder if her parents have thought really hard in giving her name. (Just kidding babz!!) But she prefers to be called BABZ rather than baby. She’s the exact opposite of her roommate who is Gelli. She’s too loud even when her intention is just to whisper. She’s the clown in the group. And she could be a temperamental clown to be honest. 😂😂 She gets angry so easily after a lot of teasing. That’s what you call ricochet Babz. ✌🏻You get what you ask for. 🤗🤗What I like most about this girl is her strong will. She’s an independent SINGLE girl. (I have to emphasize the status SINGLE 😂😂.) Just like Gelli, she never had a boyfriend too. No questions ask. (Peace!! She might get mad again while reading this.🙏🏻🙏🏻) She is such a family oriented girl that she chose to prioritize her family’s needs and I salute you on that sister! Long lived the single since birth women in the house! 🙌🏻

MJ (The Fashionable Mom)

Nothing beats the gloriousness of this modern fashionable mom, onee-chan MJ. Well, she doesn’t even look like a mom in the first place. She’s so bubbly that she never rans out of things to say. She’s the kind of girl you wanted to drag with in a place where conversations are starting to lasts. She can be very intimidating at first maybe because of the mole? 🤗 Seriously, she has that modelly kinda look and that mole suits on her face perfectly. We’ve never bonded that long because she has to move out and transfer to the nearest accommodation in the hospital we worked in. Still, we waved each other hello and chat sometimes.

Kimberly (Motherhood 1st Runner Up) 🤰🏼

This lady here is the roommate of onee-chan Mj. She’s about to have a precious angel a few months from now. I addressed her the 1st runner up because she was the second one who got pregnant after coming back in the villa from vacation. I’ll tell you later who is the culprit. 😂😂✌🏻

She is our “chef”. Every time we’re celebrating a special occasion in the house, we’re always looking forward to her cooking. I guess it’s her fault why we all gained such weight. 🤔🤔 Food catering could be a good business partnership with her. 🙌🏻🤟🏻

They are the ones residing in the first floor. Let’s move a notch and head on to the 2nd floor. The girls here are kinda interesting (that includes me!) as well. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Reycianne (Ms Motherhood inter-amniotic 🤰🏼👸🏼)

That’s right! She is the culprit. 😂😂 She started the trend. She had been my movie and cooking buddy in the house. She’s petite but her energy is a bit taller than her. She talks a lot when she was still not pregnant. Now that she’s a preggie, she can’t close her mouth anymore. Just kidding! 😂😂 I love this woman. She’s very religious and I get to learn a lot of things in life from her. She taught me how to be wiser and crazier sometimes. I miss teasing and laughing at her because she never gets mad easily. We tend to tell each other’s secrets and gossip about loads of things.

To your soon to be baby GIRL, may you not inherit your mommy’s weird personalities. 😂😂😂 Cheers to your upcoming new family onee-chan XHAN! 😘😘

Rubia ( The Food Enthusiast!)

If you can’t get enough of every food, there must be an itty bitty of Rubia in you. Trust me, I think she had been to most of the fast food chains and restaurants in the city. She can be onee-chan Kim’s sous chef cause they both love to cook but Rubia loves eating more. (Peace on earth yo!) She’s cool to go out with too. One time when me, her and Carla went to buy some groceries, thought she’ll buy all the stuffs in the store and close it for good (hahaha) cause she ended up in the counter with two carts and one is fully stuffed. Most of it I think were edible. Bet you know what I mean. 

Well, I hope that this enthusiasm she has on food will lead her to finding Mr. Right. I think she’s used to eating meals alone in a fancy restaurant and if she keeps on doing it, some random (hopefully the right one) guy will get to sit and talk to her over a meal. Drastically,  we were in Saudi Arabia so the guy can’t probably sit with her unless they saved some seats in the family section. I’ll keep on crossing my fingers Onee-chan RUBZ till they all get tied up. (hehe). Luckily, I get to see one of your facebook stories that you had been video calling a certain guy 😲, guess every thing starts falling into place.  🥰

Sherly ( The Sweet Country Girl-ish)

Yes, she is sweet not just by her looks but also her voice. The first time I get to hear her voice, I sighed and told myself  “I can get along really well with her.” Cause I once had that kind of voice too, so hearing someone having a  silvery voice (which is cooler than mine) can be called my soulmate.  🥰 🥰 I like how she smiles a lot. It’s so vibrant, warm and inviting. I’ve never seen her at her lowest point, though she had a hard time working on some HR files back in our previous hospital where we worked in. She was sad but not devastated. You couldn’t even tell she had a bad day unless she tells you.  👍 👍 Now that’s what you call pure magic. Too bad, she didn’t renew anymore her contract in KAMCJ,  which made the house kinda gloomy when she left. No more sweet voice of Onee-chan Sherly coming from the kitchen or the living room. She’s like the first one to get us some food every meal time. When me and Carla had our second vacation back to the Philippines, she let us stayed in their house for more than 20 days. We hanged out a lot including onee-chan Joyce (which I will be talking about later). I was able to meet her cute dog named Zoe which was given to her by onee-chan Xhan. We both love dogs so much. Hope I can get to see Zoe and her real soon again. 

CES ( The Timeless Beauty)

If I’ll be on my thirties, I want to have a rare, youthful and smashing beauty just like hers. I find hers a natural one even with or without make up on. But you could never mask the radiance of a natural beauty. I love how doe her eyes are on photos, (Gelli has these kind of eyes too) it’s what I’ve always wanted to have. She has a daughter and I can really tell how much she love her when they had this Skype moment back in Jeddah. She was about to cry and her voice was already shaky. I was so moved by that moment where a mother and daughter seeing each other for the first time after a long long flight overseas. It was also her first time being away from her family to work abroad. Most of the girls in the house weren’t first timers in working overseas. I think there were 4 first timers (including me) in the house. 

She’s onee-chan Sherly’s room mate. She loves movies and she’s very much familiar to a lot of famous Hollywood actors, actresses and singers and some Korean dramas and k pop groups.  And with that, we can get along so well. Don’t forget Gelli too.  😉 😉 Same thing with her, she didn’t also renew her contract in KAMCJ after finishing 2 years in there. So miserable that every person in the house were gradually leaving. It’s part of growing up, I guess. And if we really wanna grow up, it means we have to grow apart as well. I think now she’s back in Saudi Arabia but in a different hospital. Wish we could grab some meal altogether just like the good old days in Villa 6. 

Ruby Joyce ( My Mother from A Different Household)

That’s right, she was my mom in villa 6 and until now I still call her mom, A SINGLE MOM, co’z she’s also single and she has me as her daughter so that makes her a single mom.  😇 😇 (That’s just for fun.) Her room back in the house was just in front of us. She’s cool, fun to be with, has a prominent motherly instinct, a big sister you can call on to and of course very voluptuous. She can handle very well her gorgeous bold body and I admire her for that. I’m a plus size as well but seeing how she dress up for the occasion, makes her look like she doesn’t have the weight. She embraced it too well that she made it invincible to the people and that’s a pretty good thing. 

When she left and ended her contract in KAMCJ, I was in melancholy. I believe we’ll still gonna see each other again but it’ll take long. I can’t actually handle goodbyes pretty well, so when she was packing her stuffs and about to leave the house, I said my farewell as quickly as possible co’z I don’t want her to see my eyes well up. Somehow, when me and Carla both had our second vacation, we decided to meet up with onee-chan Sherly and her. We had the best time of our lives for a couple of days. It was a great bond and I’m glad that we were still able to catch up after missing each other so much. I hope Mr. right will able to find her so I’ll have a dad to be and she can live the fairy tale life I know she deserves to have. 

Michelle ( Exuberant and Full-spirited)

I admit, I seldom pray and go to church but I am still a great believer of God. Onee-chan Michelle here is both. I always saw her pray, not just to put an act but it was really heartfelt. She and onee-chan Reycianne are the most prayerful persons I had noticed in the bunch. Though, she’s very religious I must say, there’s this side of her also that is very comical. She tags along very well to some of the jokes some of us had thrown and laughs hard too. I noticed that she has a boyish walk. Well that was when we still used to walk together back in our villa. She’s onee-chan Joyce’room mate. She didn’t stayed too long in the house as well co’z she had to moved out and transfer to the nearest accommodation from the hospital. Both she and onee-chan MJ were assigned in OR so they’ll probably gonna be room mates. I’m not sure if she’s still in KAMCJ, but if she’s still there, may God keep her and the rest of the front liners safe from all this torment from Covid-19.  😇 🙏

Carla ( The Dauntless Petite)

Finally, I’m down to her since I kept mentioning her in some parts of this blog.  👄 👄 Can’t blame me co’z she had been my company since we started that roller coaster ride just to get where we are right now. She had been my smallest yet straight forward wind vane. I had became so dependent on her that I sometimes depend my decisions in life on hers. While depending on her, I learned how to become independent as well. She could be a walking contradiction and I find it really challenging. She’s so outspoken that you don’t want to miss a thing on not talking back at her. She could be really provoking that not being able to express your own thoughts is like having a wimpy limb. She’s an inspiring artist too. She was the one responsible for all the wall decorations in our villa in every upcoming birthdays. There’s this side of her that’s also very prayerful.  😇 😇 Well, if you want to know more about me and her, I had created a separate blog on how acquainted I am to her, bet you want to read it. Here’s a quick link. (https://www.tumblr.com/blog/view/otakuhoo) 

We really are growing apart but not that further. We’re still now in the same country practicing the profession we’re bestowed to have. Just that, we don’t work in the same company but still we manage to keep in touch and that’s the thing we don’t want to lose. The full of secrets, funny, opinionated, mature and nasty😁 conversations. I’d say, I’ve grown fond in this kind of friendship, hope this will not last till you set foot to your next milestone in life.

In addition to the 14 people of the household, they are the two women residing in the third floor. I’m not that very well accustomed to their real personalities or their lives but they were also kind to be with. They both showed us the big sisterly acts and gave us some helpful advises about certain inquiries on how to survive middle east 101. I have nothing much to say about them due to the stair that was keeping us socially distanced.  😆 😆 (Just kidding!) Moreover, I’m still glad that they have been great household members. 

Dianne (Sweety)

Of course, I better include myself as the 14th creature in the herd. I never contributed much back then, only I was the only girl who liked to fall asleep in the living room while the television was on. I was the movie down-loader, the one who’s flash drive remained attached on the TV and the (Tiktoker 😆) one who sings very loud in the living room. I told you guys I’m not that much memorable (haha). I was such a reserved person while being involved with them, hesitant at its finest and talking to unknown people was my complete dilemma. It was like being cast as one of PBB housemates ( a reality TV show). It’s true what they say, you’ll never know what you really are unless you’ll know how to sync and survive in a vast number of unrecognized people. Those two years I had spent with them was the most life changing, reality living and perky sorority I’ve had. 

There you have it! My very own pack of females. Hope you’ll take a good look on how inexplicably beautiful the photographs are (especially me  😆). I know this blog is a bit lengthy, you don’t know how concise I try to make it in describing each of them and still turned out having lots of words in it. Maybe co’z when there’s an interest in writing about certain stuffs or people, you just never ran out of words. I’ll attest to it.  🤘 If you just happen to see me right now, I’m still probably clicking on my keyboard, typing more words about this blog that will make it unending. Since I want to post this one and have my female leads read this, I better end it as gracefully as possible.  ✍️ ✍️ 😘

To these girls, the day we parted was not the end of it. We’ll get to see each other again in due course where some of us will be sharing their parenting lives, preggy moments, most serene weddings and many more exciting moments in this every day battle we call life. Just so you know, while writing this one, I had pressed the button to zap me back to those moments where we all took our first step in the villa and hurriedly chose each room and wander around in every corner of the house. And while being zapped, it’s like I never want to time travel again. All rooms were occupied, it was like the house was meant for us alone. I believe, wherever we’ll all gather up together, there’ll be again a full house where history will again repeat itself.  🏡 🏥

XOXO   ♥️ ♥️ ♥️

To The Coolest Girl I Know

I’ve been with a lot of people. Some have been an acquiantance but barely knew their real existence. We really dont know each other that much back then. We’re simply classmates and dont seem to talk a lot. I thought of you as a snob because you looked kinda bitchy and meanie. Bitchy in a not flirty-with-boys kinda way. 😊😀😁😂 Your poise Depicts of that of a rich spoiled teen who has an upperhand in the school. Students like you, I GUESS were the reasons I buried my self-esteem deepest in the ground. 😐😐

After graduation, I started to look more like of an adult and I was quite suprised that you applied in the same hospital i got in. I was intimidated by your captivating ways of talking. Seems like you can easily attract slaves just by the way you talk or gaze. You’re petite but your stare is equally scary to that of an ogre. 😂😂 (That’s a compliment, okay? 😅) Back then I wished I have that kind of firmness. 🙏 Remember that day when I was assigned to be your preceptor as a medicating nurse? Honestly, I was so tensed like I want the ground to just eat me all up because I know you could be quicker and smarter than me. I don’t want to bossed you around because you might think I’m taking advantage on you as a senior nurse which is I’m only a few months ahead of you. Seriously, it creeped the hell out of me and I can’t wait our shift to be over. ✌✌✌

Getting to know you gradually was sort of interesting. You weren’t the girl I thought you were. You’re funny and very opinionated. I never took life very seriously not until you asked me to apply jobs with you. After all the things we’ve been through in those job application thingys, every bit of me was uncovered. Who knew I can stand for long in a running bus without getting nauseated and who would have thought that I can get lost in a big city without telling my brothers about it. Just a call and they will come and fetch me up. Those firsts were with you. Now, how can i forget you? 😟😟 You came into my life and not just barely leaving a trace but left a string of footprints etched in my heart, letting me know that you are with me every step of the way.

Years passed up until now even in the slightest measurement, you weren’t just a friend but a big sister I never had. You’re the reason my days were filled with anxiety every time we wander together. I climbed mountains instead of staying back home and read a good book. Even when the sun stopped shining, you still have loads of places you wanted to go and I can’t just let you go out all by yourself because I don’t want to stay at home fretting and because I know if we’re together, we’re stronger, braver and damn so invincible! 💪💪

Then there were times when life has to take its place. You found yourself broken and when you thought all hope had gone, I was there. I saw your vulnerability. I saw what it was like to be a broken girl who had lost everything. I couldn’t contain myself and did all just to swept you off your feet again and let you know everything’s going to be okay. So I prayed and tried as hard as I could to bring back that little piece of hope to carry on with life.

Now that you’re happy (coz I can see it genuinely in your eyes) , I wish for consistency in it and I wish you’ll still share to me more about how your days went. I know you may have doubts in me because you’re afraid I might judge you. Hell no! Friendship with you had taught me that friends never judged each other no matter what. You taught me to face my fears which are conversing to more people and showing myself more on public. I couldn’t have escaped these chains if it wasn’t for you showing up with a suitcase and ordering me that I must do all those stuffs. 😄😄 I felt a little liberating to have finally stepped out in my comfort zone and I owe it to you. 😎😎🙌

It’s hard to put it all into words to tell you how much you mean to me because words will never be enough. My life wouldn’t be as thrilling as it is when I’m with you. We have walked so far (especially in Sagada 😂😂), laughed so hard together and YOU cried a sea of tears. 😂😂✌ We have climbed the highest peaks and still shopped even when we’re our poorest state. 😅😅😅 Thank you for being my partner-in-crime, road trippin companion, gossip girl, personal life coach and so much more.

We’re not getting any younger buddy, soon we’re gonna have or should I say You’re gonna have your own family. I feel sad already thinking about it, without you in the picture. 😢😢 To that man you choose to spend the rest of your life with, may he brings joy and love to you. You deserve to be happy because you brought happiness in my life. It’s payback time. 😊😊 I couldn’t stop other people to go through in your life if they meant good things for you. If only one person is allowed to stick with you forever, I’d rather go. No, just kidding! Of course it’ll be a great pleasure to stay friends forever with you. We’re a family now. 😍 What more can I say? I will always cushioned you in my protective wings. And no matter how much distance is between us, no matter how many days, weeks and months we haven’t spoken to each other, I’ll always pick you up where we left.

Cheers for more friendship

OtAkuhoo 😍😘
