[image from unsplash.com] This is what I wish my wall and desk are now. Uncluttered. Simple. Minimalist. ... My blood pressure has not been good since the year started. Still, it has been happy new year cuz I spent time with my sister and her family! My to-do list has been growing though: I have to replace the broken a/c before summer creeps in, I want to get together and catch up with my friends, etc... Right now, I'm going to take a bath cuz that alone takes me 2 hours (1 to bathe, 1 to dry and wear clothes cuz of myositis) and then, I'm tired. The dizziness has been coming and going for weeks now too. Sigh.

The maintenance guy just left... See, our range hood and electric stove quit working last night. We called for maintenance to check it then, but it was too late so no one came. We asked our lobby guard to call them again around noon today. The maintenance guy came at around 2 PM. His greeting was... I'm going to fix your door too. LOL. Yeah, our door handle is loose too. So he checked the stove and hood... used our extension cord to check the hood's power (the hood is not broken, yay!) and other things... The verdict: we need to replace the circuit breaker. Damn. I hoped it was just the fuse. Anyway, the good news is that he has a spare 32-amp breaker cuz the people that ordered it first were not home when he visited their unit earlier so, if we wanted to, we can buy that spare that costs 300 pesos so he can install it today, and he can just buy another one for that other unit. OMG, yes, please! Installation fee is separate though because the condo admin will charge

How to fix a Paymaya Duplicate Account issue? Do not waste your time sending an email to support@paymaya.com or messaging PaymayaCares on FB because you will only get a canned response (and a headache). YOU NEED TO TALK TO A HUMAN BEING... If you do not have a landline but you do have a Smart number, call *788 directly. This is free. That's what I did. I spoke with a rep and she fixed it right away, mabilis lang. She said the BSP (Bangko Sentral) is strict and will only allow 1 upgraded account per user. Any attempts to upgrade a different number will flag the new account and put you in this duplicate account mess and you won't be able to add money to this new number anymore. (The original account will not be affected though.) Because they cannot cancel the submitted upgrade request on the new number (it doesn't work that way daw), I had to choose which number I want to keep-- If I choose to keep the old upgraded number, they will delete the duplicate account and I

Cashbacks from Shopback.ph that are supposed to be Confirmed by now are just passing by, stuck at Pending. It started mid-September. Missing cashbacks are cropping up as well. My Honestbee.ph clicks are being recorded but the completed transactions are not being recognized as Pending like they used to. I reported a missing cashback from Honestbee.ph last month that is now being "investigated." [*Update: Investigation is done and they rejected it. hmmm...]  Is this happening only to me??? I have over 1,000 pesos in pending cashbacks from Honestbee.ph... it will be so bad if I don't get it back. [*Update 10/12/18: Yung mga transactions ko na too-long in Pending status are now verified, sunod-sunod pa. Good. Winithdraw ko na agad at baka mawala nanaman.]
