Over the nearly four decades of my existence, I've lived in about six domiciles. The first was in Yokohama, Japan where I was born and the rest were here in the Philippines. We lived in a house in 1306 Jose F. Nieto St. Paco, Manila for about 24 years and moving mania came about in 1995 where we moved into 5 different houses in as many years. We've been living in our current address for seven years now.
In my dream, we were about to move into another house. From what I can remember, the house looks to be located in Makati...a city adjoining the Paco, Manila district. For some reason, the "place under the bridge" motif was back (see "You're NOT in the army now" entry).
But before we can move in, we had to live in a "halfway" house. In 1998, before we moved into a house in Cuevas St...also in Paco...we temporaily lived in a pension house near Taft Avenue. But the pension house in my dream looked more like that flophouse in the movie "The Pursuit of Happyness" where Chris Gardner and his son stayed the night. And as with Chris and his son, we had to share the room with a bunch of other people.
