Following Rules?

Have you ever unintentionally broken the law?

Of course not. Not ever.

I follow rules, I am a law abiding citizen of the country.

There are times though that I hate transacting in a government office, sometimes you meet annoying people there.

I Won

I attended the Senior Citizen’s Valentines’ party this afternoon. I  enjoyed the dances held and participated in by some seniors. I removed my hearing aids because the music was too loud in my ears.

They anticipated around 200 attendees but only more than a hundred came. I brought home 3 bottles of mineral water and 1 packed dinner. There was so much food left.

Our barangay  captain and his wife and other barangay councilors  came to join us. They took charge of the parlor games and gave cash gifts. Since the raffle was held at the end of the party, I didn’t wait for it but instead left my raffle stub with one of the officers of the senior citizens.

I won.

She delivered my raffle winnings an hour ago, around two kilos of rice, sardines, tuna sardines and corned beef. Although it was not much, it is still a blessing. Every year during our SC Christmas party, I always win. I remember attending a  Christmas party at the bank where I used to work. I won 1K in the early raffle but when the major prizes were picked, I won the second grand prize – a six cu. ft. refrigerator. I have to return the lower prize to the committee…haha!

This made Valentines’ day something to remember.

Another Project In The Offing

I had my laboratory tests done  yesterday afternoon and while waiting for an hour to get the results, I dropped by National Bookstore to buy staple wire. Then I saw three new designs of Paint by Numbers, the same 40 x 50 cm. framed blank canvas, a picture of a lovely house with a garden, a dog and a vase of lovely flowers. I haven’t done flowers yet except for the first time I tried painting a man with lovely roses on his head. I had some groceries done earlier so I could not take the frame home. You bet, I will come back one of these days to buy it.  The design is a bit complicated since the flowers  are  in different colors but one bloom has a sophisticated three or four shades of the same color. If ever, this will be my 7th project since last year. Wish me luck.💐🪻🌹
