No, We Don’t Live Here Alone - Unfortunately
Filed Under (Playing House, Thailand Tales) by iris on 20-08-2008
Being in a relationship has many perks, but I think I actually have more than my fair share by living with the boyfriend. Not only do I have a man who's sexy, smart, and funny, I actually have a man who has a fantastic home theater system. Who would've thought I would ever kinda own (I imagine) a 50-inch high definition LCD TV, a PlayStation3 console that plays hi-def Blu-ray discs, a 7.1 speaker system with a kick-ass amplifier, and almost a hundred Blu-ray movies and about 600 standard definition DVDs, none of them bootlegs? The man even has an electric couch that reclines at the push of a button! Yes, I am indeed living the good life in high definition movie heaven.
Our next-door neighbors, on the other hand, are living in hell. Naturally, razor sharp high definition picture comes with stunning, floor-shaking, earth-quaking, hi-def sound that could literally knock the socks off any unsuspecting soul within earshot. We've had people banging on our door more times than I can count in one hand, usually in the middle of some exciting car chase, or after a massive explosion. So in consideration to our good (yeah, right) neighbors, we turn the volume down just a tad bit. It's a free country, after all, and we still do have the right to enjoy all the best features that our movies offer.
Well, nobody's banged on our door for the past 3 weeks or so. We assumed that everyone's gotten used to the whole idea of having a veritable IMAX theater in our building and they're finally leaving us alone, so I'm not really sure what could've provoked this little surprise we found stuck on our door:
Maybe it was the endless roaring of dinosaurs in Jurassic Park (I forced the boyfriend to let me watch the entire series again), or the nth repetition of P.S. I Love You (also my doing), or even Jason Statham's sexy Cockney accent in The Bank Job. Whatever the reason, all I know is I'm very impressed because the note hardly has any grammar or spelling mistakes – phenomenal for a Thai person. That, and I'll probably stick a packet of earplugs on the poor sod's door.
Reminds me of how I reacted when you said you just finished watching Jurassic Park.
I’m sure your neighbors think they’ve very, very strange housemates. =)

Haha, that note was funny. You should send it to passiveaggressivenotes.com.

They should be thankful you don’t watch porno movies LOL
Tell Steve that if he has another Englishman hiding with the same home theater system, I would forget I am married. Preferably, a matandang mayaman madaling mamatay.
Oh, to have your TV and movies and a rockin’ cool motorcycle! *sigh*
yeah, very surprising indeed that the note was written in good english…that’s probably why you didn’t get any complaints for 3 weeks. took the neighbor 3 weeks to endlessly revise the note! give the effort some credit, turn the volume down!

Its very polite. Perhaps it deserves consideration?
Oh, we wouldn’t mind so much if said neighbor wouldn’t invite his rowdy buddies over to drink most weeknights. Really, he’s one to talk, with all the ruckus that they make. Thais - it’s okay if they do it, but not okay if you do!
In that case . . .
