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.
