For the first time, I joined the Christmas party of senior citizens at our village. Our municipal administrator who was our former mayor Atty. Kit Nieto together with our vice-mayor Ace Servillion joined us in the celebration. They gave cash gifts to those chosen randomly on the list of attendees. I won a box of bibingka, a rice cake which is the specialty of our town. They also distributed groceries to all seniors who attended. I didn’t stay long, went home after lunch. I gave the raffle tickets to our neighbor who is one of the officers of the seniors. What good luck! Mom and I won. I also received a gift from my online suki when I bought a gallon of dishwashing liquid yesterday. It is indeed a blessing to be remembered.
Been to my ENT and she changed my otic drops. She cleaned my ears again after noticing dried blood in the outer layer of my ear. Maybe that’s why two days ago, my right ear was so painful the whole day. I’ll be back on Thursday for another check-up. Hoping it would be the last with my ENT.
It’s eleven days to go before Christmas. Today is December 14.

It is good to be with people. Glad you and your Mom won. Does she live nearby? Hope you ear problem disappears. Happy Christmas 🥰

She lives with us Lakshmi, she is almost 94 and no one could take care of her except me. My ear is still a bit painful. Will be back to my ENT tomorrow.
MERRY CHRISTMAS🎄🏕

Same here. I attended the homeowner’s association Christmas party and the Kagawads and Chairman donated grocery bags for the raffle and gave away 5k of rice for each of the seniors. Do you call that a party?

Not much as excited as before Pete. Going back and forth to the doctor. I already ordered online and probably will cook one or two viands.

What I expected from a party is to get to know the neighbors , especially the new ones in the village, better. Instead, we just ate and waited for dole outs.

It’s nice indeed to meet them. I met some of them two years when I was ordering online food in our village. Some neighbors made it their business, delivering cooked food. I still order from them until now.
