The Original Post

In Aning’s place, five women, in separate rooms and living separate lives, used to converge at one post that stands in the middle of this old house.



Here, they literally posted poems, essays, new year’s resolutions, photos, news clippings, postcards, etc. until blogs, multiply or friendster took over and until updates on their lives became too complicated to be posted just like one of the bills.

Room No. 1 has given birth to a beautiful baby boy whose father is still unkown but who cares. Room No. 2 has just split up with her liar of a boyfriend who occupied Room No. 3 when former occupant, a timid call center agent, left unnoticed. Room No. 4 has fallen in love with another woman who now co-occupies the room. And Room No. 5, which has seen turnovers - from an accountant in love with a gay man to an indie actress in love with a priest - is now being occupied by shoes and bags, and the owner who can barely enter the room.

It's time to update the post.
