I am alone in the house. A lady called up who wanted to offer credit cards. I told her Banco de Oro gave me one and I did not use it for one year until it expired. She wanted a referral. I told her to call the bank manager of Banco de Oro. I also told her to use her initiative and find out what the phone number of the bank manager is.
I opened the blog of Mrs. G. . I saw a list of service center numbers. I tried the Imarflex Service Center listed. All I got for the numbers there was the number you dialed is not yet in service.
So I posted a message to the owner of the blog telling her what I experienced.
The laundry woman, Precy Egan, came and delivered this week's clean laundry. She brought the used laundry for washing. She looked at the Xylotrupes Gideon beetles - we brought two females and one male from Subic Tarlac Expressway entry point subic side - and kept it in the unused aquarium Perlas had in the house.
They were hiding inside the earth Celsus placed in the aquarium. Precy asked if the salagubang also hides in the earth.
I told her my experience is that they are among the leaves of mango, avocado, and siniguelas.
Her question reminded me, I have to buy bananas for the beetles. But I will give them slices of apple - I saw that I have one in the refrigerator.
There was a momentary loss of power lasting about two minutes. The Imarflex Emergency light beside the refrigeration went on and did not go off when the power returned. I felt like tinkering with it. But I shall calll Imarflex first on what to do - not that I don't know their answer which is bring it over so we can check it.

Yesterday I went to China World at the World Trade Center. Chinese products including vehicles were on display. I met Lorenzo of LEC Engineering while there. We went around but inasmuch are the displays were similar to 168 in Binondo, he left after an hour.
I went around once more and was able to talk with Kate Jauregui of Choaothiansiu, distributors of light bulbs - Sylvania, Osram, Hyundai. Checked prices with her and we can use some of her bulbs for the Bailey Lovey Chart.
Learned from her that her father is with the Phil. Retirement Authority in Makati but is about to retire.
I called up Chemist Milo Notario and we talked about prospects for the future.
I told him I am in Pangasius and we briefly discussed his San Rafael experience. I told him we can use the fish culture for fund raising at the Davao School for the Blind.

SALAD CUCUMBERS
My interest now is taken up with the preservation of vegetables. I am starting with cucumbers - salted cucumbers. I have also salted ginger. It is in the refrigerator now.

ARGAO
I sent an email to Linda Kintanar Alburo regarding the Argao 2008 town fiesta. She was an awardee during the affair.
I also visited the Argao Municipal website. I posted comments about my view of Argao when I was growing up there.
