Danny's Space

C2's Ally Cayetano who owns the Salon told me they are consuming the rest of the deposit. Mom and I finished the Sunday with Tess, Ally's employee. I released the scraps and aircon and windows and expensive light fixtures to the Lalamove man to be delivered to Ally and friends. I was able to bill and get paid for my troubles (and Mom). Also, our friend, Tess, got paid. Maybe maybe, maybe, the universe just got fixed. R5's Danilo Orinco whose wife is the face of the tenant since she's mainly a stay at home person. Their daughter is taking review classes for the Board of Education Professional Exams. Since this particular event is coming they are ending their lease soon. I thought that I am playing the executioner today with Marife, Jeffrey Botin's wife, the name on the R4 contract. They owe me two months worth of rental. She won the Bingo online game. She showed me 23K of winnings as a way to calm the axe down. I am very thankful for the stay of ...

Nene was our kasambahay since 2022. Good cook and fast worker. She went AWOL after Christmas 2023. We suspect it is a remuneration issue. I do pay her full social security contribution and I am doing that last duty this Monday of January 2024. I received a message from her reminding us of Mom's registration in the seniors pension program. I went ahead and registered Mom. Thank you Nene.

The cold air is here and the temperature is going down. Climate scientists took this time to tell us that 2023 is the hottest year in 144 years of record keeping. They predict that 2024 will continue the trend. I like the salty pandesal I bought in Burgos this Sunday morning. Mom and I shared breakfast. She cooked three beaten eggs with red onions. I woke up early to urinate but I had to do it next door. My bathroom door is locked from the inside. The door lock is broken. Next door is Mina's apartment, empty now.  Mang Roger can't fix it now. His son, Toto, died of a stroke just after New Year's Day.  My exercise routine is now at its lowest. Last month's cold turned to a long coughing battle.  I finished the business of paying the annual license fees for the apartments. There is that matter of renewing the fire extinguishers.  C2 unit is getting vacated. Ally Cayetano the tenant, told me it's a losing proposition. My co...

Anthony and Jasmin were here tonight. They were getting Mom to sign for an authorization to transfer Tita Fely's remains to the family plot also in Paraiso. So Mom signed and I gave them the title to the plot and a pair of Mom's ID cards. Anthony will have to go to Paraiso's offices in Sta LUcia. Christopher died on the 4th and services are ongoing at Nuestra. This is around the back of the church shrine in Guitnangbayan. He is the eldest, Anthony is the middle child and then Karla. They still have their father, Tito Atong. These kids' mom, Tita Fely, took care of me and Lino when we were pre- school. I remember listening to the FM radio with her. we mostly listen to Beatles songs and OPM songs. Tita Fely was in her early twenties. She's the youngest among Mom's siblings. Mom's father died in the war and Lola remarried.

I intended to pay my business licenses the first opportunity this year. I don't want to experience long lines and crowded waiting areas when I am already coughing and there are news of flu going around. An earthquake of 7.6 magnitude strike Japan and a plane collision added to my listlessness. Day 4 of 2024 went and I am still gathering documents and papers for the business permit. Mom and I are facing a busy January because our helper is absent without leave. I finished paying my SSS loan last month. I still have to worry about my credit cards. I experimented not taking my blood pressure meds. After a week not taking them I felt nausea and headache. I am now back to my hypertension medication. Thank you. I downloaded the e-lotto philippine app on my phone. I can get the lotto results everyday on my phone. I can place bets on their website and pay with my e-wallet of choice. I wonder what my father would say about gambling being so convenient and easy. I...

Mom chose not to attend the family reunion at Tita Connie's. She experiences shortness of breath even when only going for a 3 minute walk. I was tasked to attend and I did a hit and run, I did an eat and run. I was back after an hour. I told Tita Connie I stopped by Mercury Drug to get some medication for Mom. I went home with food packs for mom. I wish that most of you are safe and eating. I pray for your safety and happiness. Peace to all and a healthy 2024 to all of us.
