CRAME ROCKS!

Jen Bungar, the owner of the house

There is this one place that has been sheltering hanging out groups, working and studying individuals who need place closer to their company or school, and battered souls who search refuge for the release of their stress burden and emotional baggage: The Crame home of the ever generous, good hearted Jen Bungar. 

The pioneering members of the Crame house

 This small room has been catering home to numbers of individuals for quite a long time now. The place used to be the home of Bungar family until they transferred abode at Taguig for a bigger, cozier dwelling. We were in our last year in college when Jen decided to settle at Crame for the thesis making. The house at Crame then became our barkada’s thesis house.

Time went by, and many people had then set foot in and out of the house. Many had come and gone, some stayed for a little while, some just visited, and the others have stayed until the present time. All those people were interconnected, friends of Jen, friend of Jen’s friends, friends of Jen’s friend’s friends.

 

The Crame house has become as said in the famous line of a movie, “Karinderyang bukas sa lahat ng gustong kumain”. You can compare the Crame house to a small person with really a big, big heart. 

Desay, Jen, Aris, Mace, Kent

In the present time, there are five people who have been lodging at Crame namely Jen, Aris, Mace, Kent and Desay. Many are still coming at Crame in a regular basis, either to stay there overnight, letting the dark to pass out before setting off for home or just hang out there over a cup of coffee or bottles of beer. The most favorite thing that people usually do there is to chat and share each story, with topics that cover any things under the sun. If only the house can speak, it will surely have lots of stories and secrets to tell.

 Just recently, people decided to throw a House party exclusive for all who have been part of this bighearted and openhanded abode. 

The celebration was spearheaded by Aris, Jen and Uel, and the night was a fun success and great flashflood of alcoholic beverages! The party officially started at very late hour since majority of the confirmed attendees would be coming from a production cast party. Thank you to ate Mace’s pledge of Baked Mac and we had some real food to eat while waiting for the others. The celebration kicked off at 2AM, the house light was turned off and the strobe light was brought to life. People were asked to pose and had their pictures taken at the photo wall. There was also a chat box corner wherein people could write their message. 

After Jen had delivered her opening speech, the party then proceeded into the hot, blasting rounds of tequila shots. Exciting game was made, the highly entertaining body shots aimed only for pure fun. Kulitan times, happy conversations were spent together that set everyone to do another round, but with submarine drinks this time, followed by rounding shots of brandy. Good times were spent, that eventually exhausted everyone and set them off to rest and sleep except for few others who opted to stay up and waited for the dawn to break. They had just spent the hours with some deeply conversations of heartbreaks and helpful advices. 

In the following day, the few who had stayed had spent hours of movie marathon and henna tattooing with the artist Ciello. It was indeed a whole lot fun of party and celebration, recognizing the comradeship built within the accommodating, hospitable home of Crame. 

Looking forward for more fun, interesting stories, new friendships, and lots of partying to come, cheers to happy life!!!
