DON'T WANNA BE A MERE STATISTIC

The thing about condo living is that people have a tendency to reduce condo inhabitants to mere statistics. You are not remembered for your name or even a nice deed you rendered. You are remembered and referred to, based on your unit number.

For over 5 years, our family has been just that--the people of 401--Haligi, Mr. 401; Haligilet, the cute boy from 401. And me? Mommy 401. Even my parents and my in-laws, who make occasional cameos at our humble abode, are just referred to as the "biyenans" (Filipino for parents-in-law) of 401. Weird huh?

It's sad too that cherished correspondence--both business and personal are dropped off into these mundane-looking, impersonal set of numerically-arranged pigeon holes.
Again, a mere statistic.


How I'd love to have the freedom to install any of these high-quality personalized Whitehall mailboxes to replace those drab-looking boxes at our condo lobby.
My personal favorite is the classy-looking Monogramed Wall Mount Maibox, especially because of the intricate design of the monogram. It would be neat too, if our building administration decides to install sets of the Side Mount Double Mailbox Package. What's great about it is that the mailboxes may be customized as well! Now, I wouldn't mind being reduced to a number if my mailbox looked like that! :)


If all else fails, maybe it's time for a move.
