The Yamaha P-125 is on sale at Yupangco.
I should be saving money for my future tiny house but I really, really want to buy that piano. I have to sell my Roland E-09 first but I don’t know how without too much work on my side. I don’t know how I will be able to sell it before the sale ends.
I can pay cash for it now but that would be reckless with Christmas coming up and stuff. The question is, do I really need it? No. But I really want it. For two years. I just didn’t want to indulge my wants before because there were more important things to spend on the last three years and I needed to be more practical.
Music is one of my passions. I wonder how long can I hold off buying this thing. I need to buy a new microwave oven because my old Whirlpool (which I think is already 10 years old) already conked out.
I’m so tempted to drive over there tomorrow and test the piano.
I received today a Tumindig shirt birthday gift from a friend.
For the uninitiated, the Tumindig shirt/movement/logo started as a protest symbol against Duterte. You know how he and his minions love to do fist bumps as his signature stance (which is really cheesy, by the way, but the masses love it). So the fist bump stood up (tumindig/tindig), an act of defiance or a symbol of people waking up. This character was created by a comic illustrator that goes by the monicker/nom de plume Tarantadong Kalbo (“bald dumbass”) and people had been customizing this tumindig symbol by dressing it up according to the occupation/personality of who wants to adopt it to indicate his/her defiance vs Duterte.
When we still had a printing shop, I had a shirt made with national hero Jose Rizal (who was executed by the Spaniards for his subversive novels) muffled to protest the passage of the Cyber libel law (they wanted us to become the next Singapore with no freedom of speech). I wore it to a business conference at Manila Peninsula, which almost cost me my entrance to the event because I didn’t look like a business reporter. Good thing the person manning the registration knew me that I was a regular at their business conferences.
I have a long history of wearing protest clothes and my friends know this.
I’m slowly adding Christmas decor because I want to end my dreary year with some cheer. I took one Christmas lantern from my mom’s house (and she has a lot) and this one is so bright that I no longer need to buy more solar-powered lanterns so we can hang outside.
I could order patio furniture from Ikea but what will I do with them after we move? We already have patio furniture in our future tiny home. Let me weigh the options…But I’d like to grill and eat outside with the girls and I promised some friends we can grill some steak and fish and have drinks before Christmas break. Since my friend K will likely stay in the city again for Christmas (K’s entire family is in the US), I think we should have another get-together with our friends, if they can brave the traffic going to QC.
Hmm…stuff in Ofix are cheaper…
