it's still chilly to the bone. the minor drizzles are leaking into our kitchen sockets which when wet, as they are now, wreak havoc to the connection gadgets including the boiler and the stove. so it's mightily cold in the pantry. no warm water. i'm under the sheets all the time. it's back to the dark, dark ages.

poverty was our thing growing up. i learned how to dabuk the kalayo when cooking as a child. a rice cooker was not yet de rigeur. we had an artesian well for drinking water. until now, our main water source back home is still the deep well in the backyard, dependent on electricity. it's not for the nephews' consumption. they got really sick back in '07 after dad's funeral. for kids raised in developed countries, it's prudent to use bottled water for drinking while in RP. the water company says our location is still far away from civilisation. i'm not sure if that's the truth or it's just merely the end product of kickbacks society.

hopefully soon the kitchen problem would be fixed, i could come out from the rut. to be in a bad mood, with all my red drippings, is not good.
