1. The parish priest in Pila-pila informed me last month that the generator for the carossa was broken. I promised to send a new one which I haven’t done. Holy week is fast approaching and I haven’t bought a new generator set for the santo.
I went this afternoon to Handyman. They only have one brand. When I asked where it was from, they avoided my question. Well, parts from China, assembled daw in the Philippines. I don’t know if that’s accurate. Maybe.
The price is beyond my budget. It’s 75,000 less discount, P35,000 na lang daw. I’ll buy na lang tomorrow from the store near our office. I think they have something for P14,000 or less.

3. I went to a nail salon this noon for a pedicure (no polish). I haven’t started reading the newspaper, before I knew it finished na daw. Ang bilis. It was done in 15 minutes. I paid P220 pesos plus tip.

4. The dentists were still attending to other patients. Come back daw after an hour. I walked around in that area and found a skin salon naman. To kill time, I went inside. They have a facial for P300. They gave me a coupon for P100 cash discount. The place is very decent and clean. I didn’t expect that inside would be a common area with about 5 beds. It really looked clean and the attendants wore a nice uniform and face masks. I refused when the woman asked me to lie down on a bed in between two people.
A—-“Dyan?”

Attendant #2—–“Maghilamos ka na”
A—–“maghilamos?”
Attendant #2—–“Oo mam, di ba magpa pa facial ka? Ayan ang face cleaser”.
A——“Hindi ako gumagamit ng facial cleanser…. baka ma allergic ako”.

They noticed (obvious kasi) that I didn’t like to be too close to other customers so they let me use a bed that’s a little farther away and it’s by the wall, so I have no bed-mates.

Eto na, binugahan ng binugahan ang mukha ko ng mainit na hangin. Naku ano na nga ba ang tawag dyan? Hmmmm, Ay hindi ko maisip, basta yun. You know what I mean. Since I was inhaling vapor, my throat reacted and I started coughing, uncontrollably. I was so embarrassed, para bang gusto na nila lahat lumabas at merong hikain. I asked the lady to remove the machine. My coughing stopped.

Therapist—–“Mam, kailan ka last na nagpa-facial?”
A————-“Hindi ako nagpa-pa facial, baka 3 years ago na or 5”.
Therapist—–“Regular ba kayong nagpapa cleaning? Kailan ang last?”
A————-“Hindi ko matandaan, baka 3 years ago”.
Therapist—–“Mam, malinis naman ang skin nyo, lugi kayo sa cleaning”.

I could hear two gay guys talking with the therapists. I could only hear them, I couldn’t see them.
Gay #1—–“Pag sinabing I want to see you, ang sagot, how much?”
Gay #1—–“Pag sinabi ay I miss you, ang tanong magkano naman yan?”
Gay #2—–“Pag I love you?”
Gay #1——“Ano pa ed di magkano uli”.

5. I went back to the dental clinic, half hour more, so I went up to the 4th floor. I bought spring rolls for my kids.

6. There’s a dentist across the nail salon. That’s actually the reason why I ended up having my toes cleaned. I waited for the dentist.
My 2 pm appointment with our regular dentist got canceled so I looked for another dentist. I only had less than P2,000 cash in my wallet. When the dentist said they have to do an x-ray, I was hesitant because that’s exposure to radiation again. I was exposed to too much radiation na, last January alone I went to the x-ray room 3 x.
My second question was how much would the x-ray cost me because I might not have enough cash. The dentist said “five hundred lang wala ka”. How condescending but I knew there was no intention on his part. He just probably couldn’t believe that a person would not have P500 cash.

After the x-ray, he told me that I needed root canal which would cost P5,000 each or P15,000 per tooth. He is recommending that I do pro-active, even before my other tooth start causing me pain, I should also have it done. So P30,000 total plus plus. He assured me that he would give me a discount for the two teeth. Lalo na when he recognized my name. He bought his Ford Fiesta from Cainta. I am afraid to have a root canal. That’s painful. And my God, 30K? Kaya pala marami ng bungal ngayon. Pinapabunot na lang ang ipin. Wala ng sakit sa bulsa. Eeek I cannot be bungal. The more my husband will refuse to kiss me. Kahit lasingin ko pa sya.
