It's January 2024

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 concern is the unpaid electricity bill worth
seven thousand as of December 20th.

Password Issues On Ubuntu Login

I found myself unable to enter my login credentials when prompted to do so in Ubuntu. I think I might have changed it then forget about it. I've been running the current session for more days than I should have. I forget. So what's the solution to my problem. How do I get in to my system now? It involved getting into the grub menu somehow. I am uncertain as to how to do that exactly in your system. So there's a couple of ways to do it (finger's crossed). When booting at system start, use the esc key or the shift key. The first one worked for me. The timing is key. Wait until the bios banner shows then hit the esc key once. I am using Ubuntu 22.04.4 here. I have a current version of grub. The grub menu will give you options and the one you want is: root. Yes you want root privileges to set the root password. It should give you a terminal access where you can issue commands. Type: #mount -rw -o -s remount / ==> this command mounts the filesyste...

2024 So Far

I have a feeling of moving earth or walking off my itchiness. The growing fat in my belly tells me I am failing on many occasions to give in to this urge. My eyes are blurred by morning glory. I remember my father having the same ritual in the morning. After his weak stroke, he couldn't speak much, just a grunt but he would demonstrate with hand how he liked to wash his face. The weather wasn't helping. It's been raining cats and dogs the past week. The province of Rizal was soaked and spilled volumes of water into the bay and Laguna lake. Our Caimito tree was cut to no more than 4 feet from the ground. It was towering above the corrugated sheet metal of our roof. Now it lay horizontal on the yard. I calculated it could be made into a whole table and chairs set by a talented carpenter artist. I showed Lino the two big pieces of trunk that could only be moved if cut by a power saw in place. The road widening project in San Mateo was in the middle stage. One side of the road ...
