What it is like not to have rent? It is like a huge burden off your shoulders. The feeling that you are no longer exploited by another human being. This feeling was extremely acute last year. THREE MONTHS already without rent! yea yea yea!
I bought Diablo III expansion and the game is really beautiful. It is not as smooth as I would like it to be and I re-installed my laptop yesterday to see if it would help. I might need to boost a bit my RAM.

A huge wave of emotions just got through my brain. In these moments, I try to calm down, run and let it pass. I see so clear what I want and what I do not want.

Here are my holiday times:
19 Jul – 03 Aug (2 weeks)
09 Aug – 17 Aug (1 Week)
20 Dec – 04 Jan (2 Weeks)
Unlike my colleagues, I prefer having shorter holidays but spread around the year. Many people stack up all their vacations during July or August. I also inserted few days between Public Holidays to make 4 days weekend.
I still have 9 days left and maybe 2 more for work I will be doing during a week in Seoul in July.

The Air conditioning system in my car stopped working 2 weeks ago and I thought it would cost a lot to fix it. I took it to the garage yesterday and the technician replaced the cooling fluid. I am very happy because it only took half an hour and it was not as expensive as I thought it could be (79 Euros). It is working great now and I can feel the freezing air coming out of the fans.

Three weeks after the moving, I am getting used to the place. I did not add many things and it remains as empty and as white as before. It is very functional and it has everything I need. A little spider has come with me and it is moving around the place. I’ll let it be at the moment.
Normally a company should check and fix the physical connection of the internet cables to our building this week. I just hope that it will be some minor things that can be fixed quickly so that I can get internet back. Not that I am unhappy with my H+ connection but I cannot download everything I want. There are not many good movies at the moment anyway.
#8 has remained quite silent and distant. Her parents left her place yesterday I think. They just came to help her moving in.
#2 has moved in and I heard some music yesterday late but she is quiet as well. I like her curtains. Very fancy looking curtains!

3 newcomers have moved in on Saturday. Lots of stuffs and of course lots of cars. The 2 French newcomers rented vans to move their stuffs in and one Arab family had borrowed friends’ vans. Most importantly #2 on my floor moved in next door. She seems quiet and we have not spoken much. I hope that the lift will be working soon because with all the moving there are scratches on the nice white walls.
I went checking places around using my bike to learn more about the surroundings. I also came back to my old studio to say hello to people there. I only met the old woman and nobody has moved in my old studio yet. It looks like the owner cancelled a deal that would allow 2 young students to move in. He is probably so afraid of meeting someone like me that he is taking extra precaution. I already warned the students about that risk anyway.

I was playing WoW yesterday and around 11 pm I saw a police car stopping right in front of my building. 6 police officers got out and checked the man in the car in front of them. After a thorough checking of the car and the man, they arrested him. That was a strange vision at this late hour and right in front of my eyes.
There are also huge changes to the roads leading to work. Major traffic changes and a lot of constructions underground. That only means that they are building something very important and big on the empty fields. I am happy because that means lots of major changes that can help increasing the value of my own place in few years.

I am feeling really relaxed and happy: no more cramps or sore body and no more urgent matters to take care off! The bad cough seems over also.
As time goes by, I met more and more owners in the building, they just stopped by to check but none has moved in yet. The architect of the building seems to know exactly where things should be. I am extremely happy with the way my studio was arranged. I am trying to use every single corner and I also tried to add more shelves. I do not have many things at the moment.
I am quite happy with the shelf I added above the toilet yesterday:here are few examples. I also added a shelf for the oven and now I have space below to add something for the kitchen utensils.
