my crib

again one of those long and winding stairways which seem to be part of hanoi if not vietnam architecture.

i call it the penthouse. located on the topmost floor of my building. half of the rooftop is a covered terrace. i call it the garden too because of the various plants grown by the owner in different sizes of pots. it is also the drying area for the rest of the tenants - total of 4. there is a permanent clothesline with hangers as well.

the other half is my flat. and entrance is by the kitchen area. i got a one-burner stove and a personal ref under the counter.

the view from the kitchen window. mature cactus plants stand as partial shield from the afternoon sun.

a female nude drawing hangs by my bedroom/living room door. below it are my food supplies, condiments and other cooking stuff.

the comfort and laundry room. it's got a window for the morning sun. a clothesline hangs above it. there is a water heater and an automatic washing machine. opposite the window is a sink and a mirror.

the study/living area which is also my bedroom. got aircon, cable tv, telephone and internet connections. i do not have a proper dining table so i use the same when i have my meals.

i open the bedroom window once in a while - when it is not so warm and the sun is nice.

my single bed. got a small portable shelf beside it. usually where i put the remote devices for the aircon, tv, and my cellular phone.

on the other side of the bed is the dresser. there is a mirror attached to it.

overall, it is a small place. but no matter what, for now and so far, this is home.
