No one wins this. It is dumb.

I just can't email post this on blogger. Just had to try again. 

My Labtec speakers got busted. I think it was a lost contact in the soldering work. I have used these 2.1 budget speakers since 2007 so it has been a while. I am replacing it with the Edifier MR4 speakers. 42 watts total sound output. 1 inch tweeter and a 4 inch woofer. It's small just appropriate for the computer room.

Erlinda Apartment is a registered name with the Department of Trade and Industry. I paid the license and business permits last 15th and went to collect my documents on the 22nd. The fire safety certificate was not ready yet and they gave me a number I can call to follow up. 

Mother and I replaced our aging refrigerator bought ten years ago when we transferred to the back portion of our house and started renting out the front portion of the family house. I chose another LG 7.3 cu ft. refrigerator. I thought the year is going to end without anything new to report but... I replaced our microwave two days before 2024 ended. Here's the LG MH6565DIS 25L SMART INVERTER MICROWAVE OVEN.  I also got an email from RCBC about an unauthorized transaction in my credit card.  The bank issuer finally decided to replace the questionable card with a new one to be delivered 5 days from now. The old card which I am holding is now blocked. I received the statement of account with two items. One is the bank charging me for the annual membership fee. Mmm...

This last month of 2024 is hard and brutal. I see its shape from far away but I don't have to like it. Philippine lawmakers decided to pass next year's national budget full of controversies and everyone questioning the sanity of the Philippine House of Representatives and also the Senators. They cut the money for education, healthcare and major infrastructure projects. They increased funding for social welfare projects that are controlled by individual congressmen and senators. You can smell the fear. It's an election year. They have to survive. They did not fund healthcare and left members to themselves. Trump is going to be inaugurated January 2025 President of the United States. I know a lot of people suffered depression after the election last November. A man murdered the CEO of a big healthcare company. There was sympathy not for the victim of the crime but towards the perpetrator.
