The landlord came today with his wife and another guy to see or fix the problem in the bathroom, after they saw it they also went out immediately as what I have understand the landlord says he will be the one who fix it.
Dunno if they understand what is the problem because we also show them the broken control pipe of the hot water in the bathroom.
The pipe of the hot water in out bathroom is leaking, it is coming from the main control. It just started leaking without us touching it, we are about to sleep last night when it happened. I went to the kitchen to drink water and I run the water to fill -up the water filter when we heard water in the bathroom that sounds like the shower is on. I was scared at first because nobody is in the bathroom, my husband checked it so I followed with him and there we found out that the pipe control of the hot water is broken so we turned off the hot water and went to bed.
On Tuesday a plumber man will visit here as my husband co-teacher had told him so I guess he has two things to fix the sewage and the broken control pipe of the water in the bathroom.
Now a days hiring a nanny or helper is not that safe anymore. Some people has a bad motive for the homeowners or has a bad attitude towards the kids that’s why you really need to be careful when hiring someone to entrust your child and home to somebody else’s care. Conducting an interview is a must, asking for background history or police clearance is important too because you may never know what kind of person you are hiring.
Sometimes it is better to hire someone you know or referred by someone because you can atleast make sure you have a complete information about who are you hiring, well the good thing now a days you can check anyone’s background online like for example you can check background checks here before accepting someone inside your home or an employee in your company.
I just finished mopping the floor and washing the clothes, such a busy day today. I also cleaned the kitchen and the sink just very lucky that I already cleaned the bathroom the other day. Speaking of the bathroom last night was a night I can’t forget, water leaked in our bathroom from the pipe that is connected with the sink it is not from our bathroom nor from the sink the dirty water is coming from other occupants or other apartment room in this building where we are staying.

The water stinks like shit and I think there’s shit too. There’s big chunks of yellow particles which my thought as eggs so in order to flush them in the drain I took it with my bare hands and it was a big mistake it is soft like cake and stinks like shit. So yucky and gross, I washed my hands thoroughly with soap and use hand sanitizer with 99.99% alcohol. I felt disturb thinking I hold someone’s shit, if my finger is not part of my body I already cut them.
I cleaned the bathroom with bleach and my husband emailed his co-teacher and one of the manager in the company about the sewage problem in our apartment and after cleaning and sending message, water floods again in our bathroom, the water is not coming from upstairs because we can’t hear it so we guess it is from the apartment room beside us. We took a video of it just in case the landlords want a proof or they can’t understand what is the problem in our apartment.
I felt itchy to clean my junks yesterday. I just thought its time to threw the things I don’t need anymore, my husband was surprised when he arrived home school when he saw me cleaning. He said if he is going to volunteer cleaning with me, he wants all my things to be thrown. Lol!
Anyway I end up throwing chocolates case, few cartoons and papers. The rest are all important to me, the lonely planet guide we printed for vacation, the notebooks I bought, tickets and other memorabilia’ s from our vacations.
My husband always teased me of being a packrat and he was even disgusted with the title of this blog, asking me if I am proud of being a packrat. Oh well all I know I am sentimental every thing is important to me and need to be keep, I guess I developed being a packrat on my childhood.
Long time ago the dump site was located in our Barangay near the river banks and one time my older cousin invited me to look for big milk cans that they are going to use for planting flowers in their garden, while looking around the dump site I saw usable school supplies like pencil case so I picked them and end up playing with them at home.
My mother and sister went online yesterday and they told me that after we purchased refrigerator, a new television is next on the list because our television is already old and not working properly sometimes. And I am sure after television speaker and amplifier is the next one, while browsing online I found out that aphex channel could be a good choice if we are going to buy amplifier because it has nice features and performance with durable, professional and versatile sound.
The Aphex Channel is also easy to use for music studios because it has powerful features and has extraordinary single rack unit that offers 7 of Aphex’s most popular tools, using it can also avoid using or connecting other devices just to achieve a sonic sound.
While washing the dishes and the juicer machine I can hear water leaking in a plastic so I immediately took the piece of wood that is part of our kitchen cabinet and take a look below the kitchen sink. I am right indeed the kitchen pipe is leaking, so I wiped the water in the floor and removed the plastic I use to tied the pipe and changed it to the new one. It was a hard thing to do because the space is not enough, all I can do is stretch my arms so I can reached the pipe.
When I told my husband that he should be the one doing the plumber job at home, he replied that it is impossible because we both know that he won’t fit in the small space.
Today there’s a new family that arrives in the neighborhood with three trucks in tow, my husband happened to passed by in the area when he went home from school he says the guy looks like middle eastern man with a Korean descent or something to that effect. Everything was smoothly fine until the driver accidentally hit the nearby roof of the old house which resulted to chaos the old woman who’s the owner of the old house was too angry and keep yelling in the street. I think someone call a police because after few minutes a police car came, the patrol car was parked in front of our apartment when I went out to check what’s happening. I saw the big track with a ladder and unloading things in the top floor of the apartment so I guess the ladder or the plank hits the roof of the old house.
Moving is really very stressing I guess the moving company or the driver will shouldered the damage of the roof of the old house until now the old woman is still angry eh.
In our province we attached the antenna of a television in a bamboo poll and plant it beside the house to get clear signal or channel. There are times when typhoon came the antenna is damage, if it is not broken you can see it in the ground. So when a good weather came we climb to our roof to fix our antenna using a bamboo ladder which is just borrowed from a relative, bamboo ladder is commonly used in the province to reach high places when cleaning or fixing something. It is safe but sometimes it is not especially if you are using the ladder when it is wet or during rainy days, it is somehow slippery. Well I guess it is time for us to use ladders with grip strut because it is safe, easy to use and more convenient.
My sister uploaded new photos in Facebook that was taken on my cousin son’s birthday. I was surprised to see that our cousin’s house was almost finished, they added porch on their house which looks very nice and attractive especially they used carved decorated metal railings. The last time I saw their house it looks very small but when I see it again on picture it looks larger than what I thought.
I hope next year we can also start our house construction my sister told me the other day that the window on my room is already gone, eaten by termites.
