Neighbor is the contractor who did the house!

Had a house blessing by our long time friend Fr. Quiambao on the night of the full moon, April 28. The moon was hiding nearly all night but showed itself towards the later part. Neighbors came including Gina's friend Rosemarie and her husband and child, Cely and her daughter, Ka Amanda's family including Nori and Rodel.

Then today, i met a neighbor who was the one contracted by the seller of the house to build it!! He will be putting up a sink in the outer kitchen in the next few days and just set up the blinds in the living room and the bamboo blinds in the dining. Name is Robert and people called him Polo. Both he and Rodel, Nori's husband smoked so they got an earful from me. No smoking in the house and grounds, though. He will also be installing the spiral staircase, the aluminum bathroom shelves, the rotating ceiling fan and possibly drawers. Have to get more tiles tomorrow. Need Philips and flat screwdrivers and more tox! Also have to measure where I will put the mirror and frames so I can start buying. Put Rodel to work on the papags to be placed in the back kitchen and the porch. Have to dump a lot of garden soil onto the lawn to get good plants.

It's heartbreaking but the altar table from my mother in law which was in storage in my mother's place got attacked by termites!! sending it over to Marilou's tomorrow for fixing. Termites ate right through the top! After that, it will be in the living room. Marilou will also be delivering my narra bed, completing all the beds in the rooms by tomorrow.

Also bought a water purifier already and installed new energy saving bulbs on the chandelier, all 40 watts using up less energy than before but brighter! Gina washed the covers of the cushions on the porch and the spread in the sala. Lent her Franny's book so she could set targets and goals for herself and organize her schedule.

Plants thriving but need to be positioned and replanted. Buried the biodegradable waste around the rambutan tree. The fruits in the potted macopa are ripening fast. The sunflower near the road has died but the bougainvilla (variegated) will soon take its place.
