Sad, cant sleep. Don't know why. Incredible Landladies

It's been a tough time looking for a new apartment for me this Christmas season. I don't know why it has to happen at this time ALL THE TIME. It's been the 3rd time in six years that I have to move out of where I'm staying and go somewhere else. Mostly due to incredibly difficult landladies. Are they even to be called ladies?

Oh no, that's not true, the first one was an inconsiderate female housemate who wanted to glue the phone to her ear and wanted me to offer them what I was eating every time they're present in the living room.  We weren't even friends but she wanted ME to give her courtesy. Oh dear.

The 2nd one was a literally insane landlady of a rental place in guadalupe. Every tue and thursday she would BLARE her instrumental oldies at about 9am to who knows when. Nobody stood up to her. When I asked her to reduce the volume ONCE because I had to sleep during the day --she did..then got back to me in anger when it was my moving out date. She was very considerate enough to STAND IN THE WAY OF people moving my stuff out while SHOUTING at us all sorts of strange accusations. 

And now this one-the one I'm staying in now--the land lady's super broke she asks ADVANCES from her TENANTS and HER MAID (I heard her SON asking the MAID for money on HER BEHALF).  Good grief. Wait, she's not super broke-she's just plain irresponsible. She would knock at midnight asking for money or in the middle of the afternoon (when people should be asleep) just to say things like "You're rich anyway, can you pay more?".  You should hear her shout at her son and maids. Incredible, you'd think they weren't humans.

Apartment hunting takes the fun out of the no-classes , no work period. Mostly for you this is the time for parties, for me--there's sweat and tears and long bleak walks looking for an affordable place in the right location. Who said there's a real estate boom? I think the developers are just dreaming that the Pinoys can afford their  P 16,000-32,000 amortizations. No wonder the previous real estate bubbles burst! They make hi-end properties and then wonder why they can't fill it up. Normal pinoys can't afford these rates why don't you create low cost housings like Singapore!?!

I wonder why they're DOING IT AGAIN? What makes them so sure that the pinoys are richers now --sans the OFW?

Oh well.
