Parang silang nananadya. Ipis are crawling everywhere in our house. Parang everyday na lang, I kill at least one. I am really annoyed.

Ipis in my bathroom.

Our kitchen is under renovation and the plumbings are also being relocated because we’re adding two more lababo. This time I hope my husband follows my wishes to put a strainer in the pipes so the ipis cannot crawl up inside the drainage pipes, into our bathrooms and lavatories.

It’s not sanitary to have pests crawling on our things. One single ipis can make the whole room smell like ipis.

Aside from ipis, thousands of big black ants invade my bathroom too. Everyday na lang, I splash water on them so they get washed away into the drainage. When night time comes, thousands are there again. Ang smart pa mandin nila. As soon as I walk into  my toilet, they pretend to be dead. They all curl up and freeze.

Termites have already set up kiosks in my bathroom. These guys from Rainbow Pest Control refill the bait every two weeks.

These pests get into my nerves. Parang I want to scream at them. Get out of my bathroom! Dito maraming pagmumuni-muni at pagninilay-nilay ang nagaganap. My bathroom is sacred. It’s a place of meditation and deep contemplation. It is a silent witness to my moments of solitude and tears.  I also cannot concentrate knowing that there are pests watching.

I can’t wait to strip my bathroom naked. My bathroom, not me. After we’ve finished our kitchen, talagang I would have the bath tub removed. Siguro thousands of ipis are breeding under there- engaging in baby production. Edmund told me I shouldn’t be around when the workers remove my bathtub. Sa dami siguro ng pests na nadun.

Sayang lang yung bath tub. Ni hindi ko nagamit yung jacuzzi. I remember paying some P69,000 for that 7 years ago. It’s made in Thailand. I made the mistake of choosing that. I liked the size kasi, it’s good for two people. I forgot that my children are both grown-ups and they would not soak with me, neither do Edmund. The last time husband and wife planned on using the bath tub together was 25 years ago. Nalimutan na namin. It’s about time that we plan again, maybe on our honeymoon night, after the 50th wedding anniversary party.

Uugud-ugod Annie——— Swet hahart, tayooo’y maligo.
Lolo Edmund————– Ahnooo kamo? mag bingo?
Uu Annie—————- Maligo tayo, sabay tayo maligo.
Lolo Edmund————- maligo kamo? maligo kang mag-isa mo.

  1. Hi Ms. Annie,

    You are so funny. I like your sense of humor. We have the same ideas when we get to see ipis or ants crawling. I never passed a day without reading your blogs.I came across your blog when I google something about Gloria Maris and there I got to see your post. I was amazed that you are the distributor/owner of Ford Makati and Greenhils bec we were searching then as to which branch can release the Ford Ranger asap last Dec. I am humble with your postings. You are a real person,smart, no presumption, kind, loving and down to earth person. I admire you a lot knowing you are beautiful pa. 125 lbs is not overweight. I find you sexy at your age still. Bec you have slim arms and legs even if you kept on complaining about your tummy. If I have the weight as yours, I would feel sexy and lovely. Keep posting and thru your blog, I get to know some nice places, foods that I haven’t been too. More so, giving importance to having quality time with the family. You are a now part of my existence in this world coz thru you I gain confidence on how to deal with every day’s stress in life as well. Ev e
