Katrina S.S.

  1. SEPT 18: having the first quiet sunday ever in the longest time, thank god. but the day isn’t over — we’ve had sundays when construction noise suddenly explodes in the afternoon siesta hours.

    SEPT 17. it was a loooong stressful saturday. some noisy machine going until 9:28 PM. had to take a tranquilizer.

    SEPT 16. friday. noise pollution from 8 AM to 9 PM.

    SEPT 15 thursday. received email from amaia: “We wish to set an appointment with you within next week so we can further discuss the concerns you pointed out in your email …
    Please let us know of your most convenient time. Thanks and kind regards, Tricia Macawile”

    oh, and today sunday, there’s a comment by some ayala defender (troll?) sa manila times comment section, accusing us of black propaganda, and we’re just angling daw siguro for a free unit. LOL. is that why they want to meet with us? ganoon ba mag-operate ang ayala/amaia?
