Finally I Returned To My Boarding House

Today I eventually returned to my boarding house after a month since I left it on March 12. My youngest sister who arrived from Estancia went home because there is a long break - there is a festival in Estancia then there is Eid'l Fitr the next day Friday April 21. 

I left home at around 3:30 in the afternoon and arrived in the boarding an hour later. I did a little cleaning in the room since leaving it for a month had left it in dirt, dusts and cobwebs. I ordered halo-halo in the evening to cool myself of the intense summer heat. 

At around 8 pm, I took a refreshing bath and just wear a white tank top, an old boxer shorts with gaping hole at the bottom at the balls part and my favorite Corcoran field combat boots. I initially planned to wear this combat boots non-stop without un wearing or removing them off my feet for a month but then my work and stay here would not be that long, so I'll just do it some other time. 

I am only wearing my Corcoran field combat boots without any clothing to sleep the night since it is so hot these days. Summer heat this year is so intense I could always sleep naked at night. 

I Hesitate to Return to My Boarding House Upon Mother's Sentiments

 On this day I am preparing to return to my boarding house in Road 1, Aganan, Pavia. I already packed some things in my backpack to bring and I took a bath in the early afternoon I think around 2 pm. I am getting ready to go back when mother airs her sentiments on me that she will have difficulty at home with no men or masculine figure around to watch out the house and also look out for them since they are elderly, weak and fragile they need some assistance and someone to look out for them. Fortunately, after I took the bath, I wore casual house clothes and decided to just postpone my return to the boarding house the next day. I just play League of Legends the rest of the afternoon, continue working on for my blog article - Filipino greatest actors and actresses listing their greatest performances, watch television and relax a bit. 

Clumsy and Freak Slippery Sunday

 The day started just fine and I handwash 2 of my shorts I wear at home every day outside in a blue container rain catchment when I heard a commotion when, so I went in and saw father on the floor. It turns out he slipped on the wet floor when he came out of the bathroom in a towel. He slipped with his feet and his back and head on the floor so me and mother immediately lifted him up and put some chili liniment on his back head, back down to his legs. Mom told me to apply some on his butt but I wont.

At night we have to collect water using a hose attached to a faucet outside at some washbasin and buckets for washing purposed in the sink since the water tank used to store water have some damaged holes in it. The source of the water was once a water well before but then it was closed with a circular galvanized iron sheet lid. However, mother who put the hose in these storage containers found in the kitchen forgot about this to eat and then sleep and I am not aware she is collecting water and after awhile when I went in the kitchen I was surprised to find out the containers had been filled up and the excess water cause the kitchen to flood. I then woke up mother to help me clean up and drained up the water. It took us awhile to drained up all the water. I then ate dinner of rice and sardines in tomato sauce. 

My Ruined Saturday

My day went off to a bad start. I woke up at around 9:40 am and went downstairs to sleep further only to find out the PLDT Home Fibr wifi was turned on early today. I wanted it to be turned on after I just totally wake up in my sleep in the couch at past 10 am. I attempted to turn it off from the switch but the sibling next to me (who once suffered from typhoid fever) is persistent to turn it on because she is using it for whatever purposes she may have and keeps murmuring mumbling words or maybe even cursing because I shut it off. I also mumbled something and was thinking of how to get back and then think of an idea. I will not settle the wifi and internet bills on its due date to automatically disconnect the wifi and Internet connection. I will only pay the bills after almost a week to restore the connection. I call her names such as Baghak Tipuson, Tipuson, Typhus girl etc.

After awhile, the Tipuson ask father for some money to buy pork in the market but to my shock, I heard him furiously responding refusing to give money to buy pork because he doesn't want to eat pork for himself. He is hot-tempered or temperamental, self-loathing, selfish, impulsive vile man I ever met. He is what you call dirty nasty old man (DOM - stands for dirty old man). Until I talk about it with him but to my great shock he shouted responding he doesn't want to eat pork, if we want we can buy our own but he will not give any money to buy pork because he doesn't eat pork but I told him he just ate a pork soup with pork in it this week and he angrily responded it was a while ago even if he just ate few days ago. He is suffering from a mild cognitive impairment a mild form of memory loss.

The night is not also different. The bald-headed pervert Muslim ugly and filthy man barge into the house to buy some phone load or credit while smoking a cigarette I can smell it. He wants to cause me disease. He is a bastard. He also came to inform me that a lot of devices got connected to our home Wifi maybe because of internet sharing.  I tried to do something but the only way to keep them out of the wifi is to block their devices by putting them in the blacklist, but I can only do that if I sign a waiver authorizing me to do it so later I will do it so I can block devices which should be needed to be blocked so we can use our wifi and broadband properly. 

Friday Went To The City

I woke up at 9:24 am to go downstairs to continue my sleep in the couch but I first notice my Shopee delivery item - it is a water test kit because I suffered from acute gastroenteritis from the dirty contaminated water I drink and use for cooking from a mineral water delivery in the boarding house I rented so I need to test the quality of each water I consume and use for cooking from now on. 

I am quite annoyed with father because he takes him so long to finish taking a bath when usually he took a bath at around 9 am but this time he took a bath at around 10 am so I was a bit pissed taking a bath at quarter to 11 am. I went to the city and went to do my business as usual. Went to have a massage at Robinsons Place - Iloilo Main mall and bought a medicine Cogent DB+ at Mercury Drugstore and go to another mall SM City Iloilo to buy some groceries but I forgot to buy Hershey's chocolate I'll just buy elsewhere the next day. At the Watson's drugstore adjacent the supermarket I went to buy an inhaler but I put down the groceries so I could transact well with the cashier but being absent minded at the time I did not only pick up my own grocery but also picked up the grocery by an elder woman who was also buying at the drugstore I apologized to her and due to the embarrassment I left quickly to leave my groceries at the baggage counter to buy a coconut smoothie or shake outside. I left the mall at around 4:45 pm and rode a taxi left by a group of family who don't want to pay the exact fare in going to their town in Oton. 

The summer heat is too much to bear and I could not contain myself I am sleepy and exhausted as I wait in line in the jeepney terminal and once inside I can rest awhile. While in Mandurriao the jeepney went to refuel at the gas station and just a few meters from gas station in the plaza when the traffic enforcer caught the jeepney overloading with passengers with some hanging outside and issued a penalty ticket and get his license and will just redeem it once he paid the penalty. It takes awhile to finish the issuance and I feel so hot and exhausted inside like a grilled fish compact inside a canned sardine. 

Thursday Nephew Been Bullied

It used to be a usual ordinary day me, mother and father if not for that phone call which shifted the day's mood. 

I woke just fine but after several minutes when mother has cooked pochero and about to grill liempo or pork barbecue for lunch when mother receive a phone call from sister informing us that nephew has been hit by a bicycle chain on his arms and is being bullied. There is a time another bully is waiting for my nephew outside the school promises and we feel he doesn't have any good intention. 

Sister acted quickly making a letter addressed to the principal. Meanwhile, mother is frantically think for actions for this. Will she go directly to the school principal or the guidance counselor or will she go to the municipal department of social welfare. She is disturbed and uneasy she could not cook anymore for thinking. 

After lunch, mother went to see the teacher and guidance counselor to talk about the issue and she went home calmly. Nephew arrived an hour later after watching classmates playing badminton. 

I played League of Legends the rest of the night playing Tristana. I am exhausted and tired of playing and not winning a single game. I was disappointed and exhausted I wanted to lay down but I need to eat  and resumes playing thereafter. 

Wednesday Out Of House First Time After Holy Week

I woke up to go downstairs to continue to sleep after awhile after immediately went out after taking a bath thinking someone is calling from outside the house. I am also mad that he boiled eggs for his breakfast formula to drink in a red small kettle we used to boil water for coffee and other drinks. I told him that he can use other pots for boiling eggs, but he simply responded it's just fine using it. He is really losing his mind like someone with dementia even at the time when he was still in his right state of mind and working in the education sector, he really has a low logical sense.

I went out of the house for the first time after Holy Week. I went to the market to eat pork lomi soup. I was thinking if I could pork barbecue for lunch but then I thought there is something in the table for the lunch which I forgot to check before going out. I then went to 7/11 convenience store to buy 2 L Coke, Sting Energy drink, Gatorade Tropical Fruit and Hershey's chocolate with walnut. Inside the market I went to buy 1/4 kilo calamansi or Philippine lime. In one of the market stores outside I bought 1/2 kilo brown sugar, 230 gms. Bear Brand milk and in another store Extra Joss energy drink.

I went home and saw my nephew in the room of her mother watching Youtube on his phone while having lunch. After a while mom also arrived from prayer meeting in their prayer house near the river area. She told me she did not cook any viands for lunch which I regret not buying pork barbecue.

Around 20 minutes past 12, my nephew ask for money allowance to go to school, and a neighbor friend ask him if he doesn't want to go to school because they are going he still keeps on watching Youtube on his phone without realizing he was left by his friend until he heard the sound of a motor bicycle pulling away then he realized he is being left he shouted not to go to school scowling and growling because he was not given money in time to catch his ride. Me and mother give him money just to encourage him to go to school in which he begrudgingly obliged. 

In the afternoon we are thinking what we will have for dinner when I suggest sardines, but mom said mackerel, but I waited until the night to ask my nephew to buy what we ask - 2 cans mackerel sardines and chicken feeds because he was so engrossed in playing Roblox in his mother's laptop.

At 8 pm I feel dizzy and migraine, so I take a rest and lay in the couch for a while then comes to use laptop to play The Sims 4. After 30 minutes when mom ask me to switch to Global Sports Channel for the wrestling I feel really dizzy, woozy and has neck pain and migraine so I went upstairs to sleep for at least 45 minutes then went down to watch Dirty Linen Philippine drama series.

Lazy Monday Ends Up In Conflict

I woke up at about 9:49 am to an almost lazy day and almost everyone in the house is still sleeping. I went downstairs to find mother sleeping in the couch while listening to the broadcast in 3 in 1 emergency radio light of their religious community Ang Dios Gugma. Youngest sister and nephew is in the room outside the house - youngest sister is already awake browsing her phone while nephew is still sleeping. Our father went to claim his monthly pension through his automated teller machine.

I went to sleep in the room of my younger sister next to me adjacent to my father's room but at around 10:10 am I was awakened by my phone's alarm but I slept for a few more minutes until I woke up.

We waited for father to arrive from the market. He arrived shortly before noon. He bought some cookie bread, liniment oil, aspartame sugar and ice cream for my nephew. After a short while I told him mother was not able to cook something for lunch because there isn't anything to cook so I ask to give me some money for us to buy some cook food in a food stall in the market because it is too late to cook something for lunch because it is past 12 noon already. I ordered our neighbor who I always ask for errands to buy us some cook food and soft drinks. He bought 3 servings of monggo sabaw with some meats, 4 servings of pork barbecue, 3 serving of chicken or beef liver I could not distinguish and a 2-liter Coca Cola soda drink.

In the afternoon I private message my younger sister through his Facebook messenger that we don't have some viands. During the night I was thinking that I just made nice request from her that she bought something for dinner - she bought bangus and she cook to dinner. But to her dismay she argues and asking and complaining if father got his pension and why are we asking her for some viands for some food what are we doing that we did not do anything to cook food and that we did not buy some provisions in the market to cook. We explained that it was too late to cook something for lunch since its already noon time, so we just have to buy some cook food in the market food stall, but she interpreted my request as something awful and nonsense. I think she had a bout of typhus today because she suffered from typhoid fever in the past and that the illness makes her suffer a lot that she still carries it today or maybe throughout her lifetime. I call her typhus girl or my typhus sibling because she makes some annoying behavior and some impractical actions from time to time. She and our youngest sibling unfortunately was afflicted by typhoid fever once in their life before that explains their irrational behavior. I just learned never to ask with her again due to her unpredictable behavior and unstable mental condition. I just want to avoid and don't want to invest my time talking and asking from her again. She hates everyone and is not talking and not making friends with anyone. It feels so lonely if I am her because she doesn't make peace and don't mingle with anyone around. She feels like she can do everything, but she has just so much pride and ego with her she can't do one or two here. She is just fortunate to live here because she has us to help with housework. I thought to myself if she can live independently alone in a rental house or room in a different location which she did last year I know she cannot live alone on her own. I have too much to bear from that typhus sister who is next to me.

Black Saturday for Catholic Holy Week

Woke up at around 8:49 am today when my mother went up to the bed to look for the lighter. I use the light to fire an mosquito repellent incense we call katol because the teens playing Christ's apostles arrived to pray with us. We pray for a short while and have them a quick snack of ice cream and some cookies.

Nothing much of the day I played The Sims 4 with different households and watch movies. Lunch was rice and pancit bam-i which taste delicious, soft drinks, buchi food ball and ice cream for dessert. 

I browse Recon.com again after a long time and also send some response to my accounts in eBay and AirBnB. 

We prepare some rosaries and other religious items such as crucifix, Virgin Mary etc. to be blessed later with Holy Water.

At around 11 pm, the church acolyte assigned in our street arrived to bless our religious items like the holy rosary beads, crucifix, Virgin Mary etc. 

Good Friday for the Catholic Holy Week

I went to bed early morning of Good Friday but before that I downloaded ghost hunting apps to see how it works and if it detects some ghosts. It did detect some ghosts mostly from Middle Ages pre-colonial period ranges from 1376 to 1653 which so old and I don't know if I can believe it because I live in a small town where it was only founded in 1754 and before that this town is sparsely populated with many thick foliage, grass overgrowth, wooded grassland and forested mountainous area. After a short while, my mother awakens up by her pee and she could hardly sleep she just took some coffee and folded a lot of stacks up clothes and my sister is preparing boiled water for her bath to go to work to a call center in SM Strata Iloilo. 

Few hours after I slept, I was awakened by some people who went inside the house talking I think it was around 6 am but I don't mind so I went back to sleep only to be disturbed again by some motorbikes roaming around and after that my father's coughing and talking also disturbed me for awhile until I fall asleep again. I woke up at around 9:30 am due to searing heat in the ceiling less top floor whose roof is a galvanized iron sheet, so I went downstairs to sleep again occasionally awaken by some noises but slept through until more than 20 minutes past 11 in the morning. I watched Cedie a Filipino film based on the novel Little Fauntleroy, Magkapatid, Saan Ka Man Naroroon etc. 

I checked online for my social media and also watch the streaming of Seven Last Words of Jesus Christ broadcasted from the Jaro Metropolitan Cathedral, Jaro, Iloilo City while also streaming my gameplay of The Sims 4 building up an amusement park in Windenburg World. 

Later in the day I streamed religious films from The Song of Bernadette (1943), The Reluctant Saint (1962) and The Bells of St. Mary's (1945). I also ate steamed oysters we call talaba for snack. At night, I watched Magnifico, a 2003 Filipino film and Cecil B. DeMille's 1956 epic film The Ten Commandments, a sound version of his original silent film of the same title. 

Maundy Thursday for Catholic Holy Week

Nothing much this day Maundy Thursday. I just streamed on a Facebook page I created about biblical and religious films this Lenten week so others can watch and reflect and meditate on their lives. I also watch some Filipino language films on television like Dubai, Tanging Yaman, Tyanak, Himala, Filipino-dubbed English movie The Bible and Mysteries at the Museum hosted by Don Wildman on The Travel Channel.

I notice there is a constant loud hammering of something like someone is doing some home repairs or whatnot and also some heard some soldering iron in our neighbors turns out that bald head bearded Muslim perv is doing some carpentry or housework on this Maundy Thursday and I don't bother to know further because he is a creep I don't want to investigate further. 

My afternoon snack is two sandwich which I put some sweetened condensed milk as the spread. Hmmm sweet and delicious but I better watch out my blood sugar. I also order an errand again from the same neighbor relative I always ask every time this time ask him to buy me 1/4 kilo sugar and 90 grams powdered Bear Brand milk. 

Holy Wednesday for Catholic Holy Week

I woke up today at past 9 am to some salespeople selling some safety regulator and hose for liquefied petroleum gas we use for cooking. I salesman about 5 feet 7 inches or 5'8" tall pimpled face with lots of holes and dusky man talking to us and explaining about fire safety of using liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and promoting his safety regulator and hose but they are a bit expensive, and we don't have money to purchase now.

I could not trust these salespeople because a lot has been said about them before that these LPG safety regulator salespeople are not trustworthy people and that this is a big scam, at least more than one of them are visiting a home and if the people in the house are busy engaging in their discussion and promotion of their product they become so engrossed that they lost their awareness of their surrounding and that the other people with the man talking will go inside and steal some things without the residents aware of them snooping around. Beware of these LPG safety salespeople or other salespeople going around just be vigilant and watchful.

I wanted to go to the market to buy some things but changed my mind at the last minute and assist instead a neighbor to register her newly bought sim card required by the law under Republic Act No. 11934 or commonly known as the Sim Registration Act. She and her young daughters watched a film I Do! I Die!! (D'yosko Day) (1997) in Cinema One of GSAT Satellite TV and first part of It's Showtime in Kapamilya Network Channel 22. 

In the afternoon I played The Sims 4. My lunch was just rice, pinakbet and lamayo pinakas na karaho fish. I also ask a neighbor relative to buy me 2L Coke and 2 serving of arroz caldo and he arrived a short while later. 

My neighbor creep who is a Muslim wants to break his vocal cord and sing out loud annoyingly and atrociously a classic song during the night of Holy Wednesday. This creep (who was stocky bald headed and bearded in his 40s) has freaked me out a lot in the past with his creepy behavior and obsession on me because I wear combat boots which I realized he also has the same fetish as me - boots fetish. He is attracted to any guys wearing boots most especially high cut lace up boots like combat boots. He also desires to buy a pair of boots and wear them but could not afford to buy one. 

Holy Tuesday for the Catholic Holy Week

Nothing much today. I woke up at least 15 minutes after 10 am in the morning and do my usual routine - gargle and have a hot coffee with milk and setup my laptop which I kept in the cabinet for the first time in in several months and television to watch some movies and shows.

My mother is not around because she went for the Lenten recollection of her religious group community, Ang Dios Gugma in Barangay Hibao-an, Mandurriao, Iloilo City. 

It was just me and my father during the day because my nephew is in school and just home for lunch and his out in the afternoon. I fed the cat who keeps coming inside the house to beg for some food which I gave fishbones. 

I slept in the room on the left side opposite my father's room. This room where my sister next to me sleep and sometimes with my nephew and our youngest sister. I slept there at around 3:30 in the afternoon only to jolted awake by ant bites inside my shorts specifically at my crotch so I have to shake it off to rid of the ants and thinking maybe the food that was left when my nephew took a lunch there feast on it but I never saw any food remains so I just dust off the bed with clothes. 

Nothing much on the rest of the afternoon but a postman left a letter for my eldest cousin about her property, and I asked a neighbor relative for an errand to buy me a 1.5 Liter Coca Cola and 3 sticks of pork barbecue. 

At night I was asked by my sister to fry the Magnolia ready to cook homemade fried chicken while I am still playing The Sims 4 so paused the game and fry it and go back to play the game while I am cooking waiting for the chicken to be cooked brown. 

Holy Monday for Catholic Holy Week

Nothing so special for today still the same regular day and things came as usual as every day. Since there is a shift in the academic school year since the pandemic in 2020 the children have classes even in the sweltering heat of the summer.

My nephew came home complaining that he got injured when a schoolmate forces my nephew to carry him on his back, but he must be too heavy for my nephew to carry on his back which causes him to outbalance and fell on his knee causing a minor injury.

When he came home from school after about an hour, I asked him to buy me 1/4 kilo sugar and sweetened condensed milk in the sari sari store to which he obliged I gave him 100 pesos and returned with a change of I think 30 pesos. 

My mom came told me something gross in the kitchen sink and I came to check it out only to find out my father left his chamber pot made of plastic and shapes like a pitcher, so I jokingly asked to my mother, "Did you prepare some juice on that pitcher?" pointing towards the location of the pitcher which makes my mother laugh. My father is somehow suffering some kind of dementia or Alzheimer's disease because he keeps on forgetting things, he keeps asking the same question over and over again, keeps doing some unusual things not of a normal person with a sound right mind, keeps mumbling or talking to himself even if no one is around him even if he is in bed sometimes, he can be heard mumbling or murmuring. 

I decided to prank father again tonight at about 11:30 pm while he was watching Youtube on the smart television on his room. I connected my phone's Youtube app to the smart television's Youtube app in his room while he was watching. I played the Nick Crowley's Darkest Videos 2 with the Creepy looking mustachioed bearded man knocking on the door he was pissed off why this creepy man always play on his television's Youtube app and also Sabog Sabog Tayo parody music video of Michael V. I laugh silently while listening to him mumbling about the things he saw in the television. 

Usual Sunday

Our day today started early when mom woke up at 1 am today to prepare for their areaassignment in Ang Dios Gugma Community (The God Is Love) in Sibunag, Guimaras. She has to prepare her pack lunch for the said event early and they left at almost 3 am since they still have to travel by RORO (roll-on roll-off) shipping vessel going to Guimaras from Iloilo. As I pass by the way from living room to kitchen I pass by the room of my father and heard him talking to himself as if he is talking to someone when he is alone in his sleep. I think this is a sign of Alzheimers but he still has some memory with him but most of the time forgetful. When he was still working as a school's assistant superintendent, he talks a lot he is very talkative and not careful and not choosing with what he wants to talk about maybe that's the reason he carried it until he is old and forgetful. 

I went to bed to sleep in the second wooden floor as usual early in the morning today at 3:40 am and woke up at 9:21 am but just transfer down to the living room to sleep further until 10:20 am when I have to wake up to do some livestreaming for NBA but found out only few minutes remaining of the game LA Clippers versus New Orleans Pelican which the Pelicans won 122 - 114.

My two younger sisters prepare the kitchen - the one next to me cooks the food while the youngest washes the dishes and swept the floor while I stream but after a quick stream, I went to take a bath after a few days of not taking a bath and the sweat which dried up white marks on my blue worn out T-shirt which looks like a floor rag already. I use katialis soap to rid myself of strong body odor and also to get rid of my skin allergy. 

The day pass by as usual as any other day I am watching a movie on my laptop - Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du commerce, 1080 Bruxelles (1975),  Alakdang Gubat (1976) in the television through GSAT Satellite TV and other shows after that. 

I love the street food brought by my younger sister and his son my nephew when they arrive from the market to buy some stuff and also the cold chocolate drink. 

In the night I streamed The Sims 4 from 6 pm until 8:25 pm because I still have to stream Kapuso Mo Jessica Soho and I rested for awhile. In about 8:41 pm I begin to open my laptop and setup my stream and streamed Kapuso Mo Jessica Soho only to be blocked and removed my livestream due to copyrights by the GMA Network, Inc. I will try again next week. I might get some short clips from the recorded video though and post it on my page. 

I just want to relax the rest of the night watching Youtube and other articles online. 

Went To The City After A Long While

 Yesterday Friday, March 24 I went to the city after a long while. It's the usual day for me doing some important transaction in the city. I went to the city around noon time 30 minutes past 12 and arrive in the city 20 minutes past 1 pm. I had lunch in Ribshack Iloilo I love eating here because of the size of their rib steak - spareribs, baby backribs and also barbecue, mackerel etc. and because they have unlimited rice regardless of what you will order and the lemonade taste quite good. 

I then went to have a good sit up massage of my body from mute-deaf massage therapists and they really have some good hands to take care of my stiff body.  

Went to buy some liniment oil, katialis soap, eyedrop in Botica China, inhaler, bought some lottery tickets and a pack of cashew nuts. I then proceeded to SM City Iloilo bought some groceries there (detergent and laundry bars, powdered milk, a liter and a half of Coca Cola, Hershey's chocolate etc. 

I saw so many people going around shopping in the mall, but I was drawn and attracted to three attractive gorgeous men I saw there. One in the supermarket grocery department he looks good - short hair about 5 feet 7 inches tall gorgeous Spanish eyes they look sharp but very attractive as with the most features of his face. Another man I saw in the circular railing in the center of the mezzanine with the opening to the lower ground floor. He wears a pink shirt and have high ponytail undercut man bun. I could not really make out of his face because I was about 5 - 6 meters away from him and I am in a hurry to leave. Just went I am about to ride a taxi going to the jeepney terminal a man in a long hair pass by my side. He has a Chinese or Japanese eyes (I don't want to offend anyone by a term so I just prefer the race) and very long hair and looks clean and neat in his face and the way he dresses rocking a loose T-shirt and pants. It was a smooth sail at home with just a little traffic. It was somehow embarrassing in the jeepney as my hands hold on the railing above my head to I feel asleep and after a while I was awakened when I lose grip of my hold on the handrail above my head disturbing women sitting beside me they giggle because I was awakened by my deep sleep which I did twice unfortunately after that I was not able to sleep again. I am so tired because I could not sleep the other night (or should I say early morning) and when I went to the city, I was sleepy. 

At home I just have a good dinner and went to do some blogging and spend the rest of the night watching Youtube videos about creepy and crime stories (shout out to Tagalog Crime Stories, Lazy Masquerade, Nick Crowley). 

Significant Events In My Life

These are some of the significant events in my life based on what I can remember. I try to remember vividly many of these things as much as possible and although I can remember the specific dates of some, I lost track of time, and the specific dates escaped my memory to many of the other events mentioned here. 

March 13, 1984 - I was born at 10:50 am on this day in ALEOSAN District Hospital in Barangay Bancal, Alimodian, Iloilo, Philippines as the first and eldest child of a housewife who is a former nutrionist in Tuguegarao, Cagayan and a head teacher in Alibango Elementary School.

1987 - 1989 - I have a good toddler year I use to play with my childhood friend. I am a little naughty tyke to likes to wrestle by playmate and share toys. I am a bit naughty and crawling around the house each time mom is not nearby. I remember she told me that one day she went to wash clothes outdoors and I crawled towards her but our house is a bit elevated by 6 inches from the ground so when I crawled towards her, I fell to the ground of earth and smeared my body with soil dirt and some of my teeth fell off and fragments of them still remains in my mouth up to this day.

March 15, 1989 - The day when my grandmother died. She was 72 years old then. She is a very religious woman who always goes to church regularly every Sundays and every feast day of saints. She is a member of the Catholic Womens League and also of the charismatic movement because there is always a prayer meeting in our ancestral house where we are still living up to this day but somehow changed through the years. Every prayer meeting in our house, there are always lots of people attending and there some snacks afterwards. During the Lenten Season, she used to prepare lunch for the apostles to eat after their prayers as it is a tradition here during Holy Week that apostles visit each house for prayer and to commemorate the Last Supper of Christ.

I vividly remember grandma because she is so sweet and kind. I always go to her bedside even when she is sick to ask for his comfort whenever my mother would scold me or hit me with something to punish me if I did something wrong. 

1989 - I can't exactly remember the date but I can still recall this memory when I was still very young or say I am a toddler then. One time my father brought me to the city. I am not older than 6 years old then. 

1989 - The year when I first went to school as a daycare pupil. The school is just in the old convent of our Catholic parish church. Our close relative who is also our neighbor generously volunteer to bring me to school every day and I am so eager and excited always to go to school. I remember she guided me through my writing by making a mark on the paper using her fingernail for me to follow and trace with a pencil and that's how I learned how to write. I can't exactly remember who my first teacher in school is, but I am grateful for that teacher who taught me basic rudiments of writing, storytelling. 

At night my father used to tell me stories from children's books usually folk tales and some are good children's books. 

As an elementary school principal, he used to receive book donations from other countries most especially from USA he brought most of these book donations to the school library to which he serves which is a barangay school. The few excesses of these books remained at home for us to read and I am happy I can read many of them there are language books, science books and children's books. 

One funny incident I can remember when I was about 4 or 5 years old around 1988 - 1989 when my father brought me to the city. It was one of his bad decisions - to bring me with him to the city at a very young age.

First Post - Introduction

I intended to create this blog the other day March 20th but then I forgot about this because I was so engrossed with my game livestreaming yesterday of The Sims 4 with a new expansion pack Growing Together that I forgot doing this all together. So today is the day when I made this blog about my personal diary for everyone to see. 

I was in my grade school when we created journal entry composition for our English subject that I learned about diary which is an account of a personal life or event written on a specific date. It also helped that during those times I am frequently listening to a daily afternoon Hiligaynon-language radio drama called Dear Diary where senders tell their true to life romantic stories that I realize and appreciate the essence of a diary. In my later years, I learned about one of the most popular diaries ever written - the diary of Anne Frank.  I learned that not only it expresses thoughts but also helps the future generation understand what happened in the past as this acts as one of the "time machines" we can use to go back in time. 

This is my personal diary - a daily, weekly or even monthly accounts of what is going on with my life. I will also express my thoughts, my feelings, my sentiments and opinions on this page albeit make it as safe and as gentle as possible but I could not assure that I could not write strong statements on this page on any given situation, issue or events. I will also give the readers the privilege of writing their comments, feedback or opinion about this page, but I would appreciate it more if you give more suggestions to what I can do about this page like the layout or design of this page or maybe you can suggest about a particular stories, news or issues you want me to have my own opinion on.  However, I wanted to make this clear in the very beginning that all the posts here are solely my own views, experiences, thoughts, opinions, sentiments or feedback and has nothing to do with other people, places, events involved here so it is just my opinion. I hope you appreciate and understand my personal diary here because this will be my legacy I can tell the world about me. Thank you everyone!
