it was altogether a very sad and disturbing occasion, and such a blow too, after two weekends of dual celebration of Halloween and GuyFawkes, when we are feeling so highly spirited, it's like a slap in the face, and my dislike for London has since sky-rocketed...

our house was BURGLED!

and if you are starting to wonder if i do indeed stay at some kinda scum area that spells 'danger', think again...

fine, i wont exactly call it a posh area like NottingHill or Mayfair or Lancaster Gate, but hey, Hoxton is located in central london in ZONE ONE, and only four tube stops away from West End, can i ask for a more secure precinct? well, apparently yes...

So i got home on tuesday to find tomas leaning against the banister at the balcony, smoking a fag and looking somewhat subdued, upon seeing me, he gave me a grin and announced (a little too cheerfully) that we have been burgled...

i was taken by surprise for a minute, quickly inspect the state of the house, not to check on my belongings, because i simply have nothing valuable lying around, but just to collect bits of evidence that a crime has indeed taken place there...

i got nothing...the room was as MESSY as before, clothes and undies were everywhere (they still are), CDs, DVDs, magazines, food, were scattered literally in any available space that you can find in our crib...but wait a second, something is missing, yeah, the laptops were gone...

all in all, three laptops were being taken away, and i learned that the house was empty for only a period of 40 minutes, the thieves were watching our movement the entire time! how creepy is that?

when asked how they feel about the tragedy, szabi merely shrugged and said nonchalantly: Shit happens...

now i really like that attitude, because one thing that i loathe, is people who cry things over spilt milk, they just drive me up the wall...

Needless to say i was a happy person when he bought a new laptop the next day (it's that cheap, around one week's wages), not only because i get to use the internet again (:p), but simply because these are the kind of people i want to hang around with, the cool ones...

that doesnt mean i want to hang around in London longer than it is necessary...
