We have votive candle holders for the altar. I turned LED tea lights on and put them inside. "Come look!" "Ganda." I reached inside the holder. "Ay, kala ko totoong kandila!" I bought these 1/27. They were delivered 2/7. Online vendor was Galleon . Pull the plastic tab out first --- Battery is CR2032. I've been using a few already, at least four hours every night. Batteries haven't given up yet. For a night light, I put one in a small lamp specifically for a tea light. Cute. These are really nice with votive holders. It looks real when turned on, with its flickering fake flame, see? (Oops, should've rotated it right side up first.)

2/5/14 Bagong taon ang dami kong reklamo. Nag-f-flare ba myositis ko o mataas lang upuan ko? O baka naman kasi inikot ko kama ko? O baka tira to nung bumagsak kanang puwet ko sa upuan nung bagong taon? Siguro lampas isang linggo na nung pagtayo ko pagtapos maligo eh may nangyari sa right hip ko, parang may naipit na ugat o ewan, basta di ako makatayo sa kanang tuhod at paa kasi bumibigay, di ko sila maramdaman, tapos sumasakit sa balakang pang pinipilit ko.

Sobrang 20 years nato, alam ko na yun. Usually, pag may ganun, pagkapahinga at iwas stress ng ilang araw, bumabalik naman na

walking out to the rollator a few steps away, holding the door frame for support {this room is narrow; carer is standing by} i miscalculate a step. left foot steps forward but hits the floor too soon. the sudden halt before full weight is transferred forces the right the hip out {ouch, the joint!}. waist bends, torso falls forward, bum falls back on its way - hard - to the floor. then, carer catches an arm and knees finally give way so i land sat on a nearby seat. thank you! right hip hurt for days. last week's pancit and lechon paksiw --

spilled on my shirt. i smell of coffee. sana taste central starts shipping outside mm soon. i could use that 20k trolley... in my dreams. local ikea warehouse, are you in the works? a white leaning/ladder bookcase might be purchased if and when. form and function. please do not run a fat blue cable in here. pangit . small victory when i convinced someone to get rid of a big black garbage bag full of very old and funky pillows na we'll never, ever use again. it was ugly and suffocating - it was on a shelf, the first thing you'd see - it sucked the joy and light out of me from the space. so, the room is nice and cool? thanks. it's true because we've been mindfully throwing clutter out; been doing it in small batches. it doesn't look like much but you can feel it. the end goal is to make it look clean, open and even pretty. it's a process. baby steps. diy. good decorating doesn't happen overnight.
