Damsel in distress

BB in Blogsquatter mode :

I have been living independently for 6 years now.. I am lucky to be trained by my dad in the ways of DIY Sige my local highschool also made major contributions for us to be (Beloved school of mine.. My pains and joys are thine.. (head tone falcetto please..) domestically independent. imagine my then thin frame used to carry 10 wooden (di pa uso ang monoblock) desk cum chairs every Tuesday because we were "cleaners." From one side to the other kareerin ang pagkarga so we can apply floorwax and bunot the floor after 2 sessions of sweeping before and after the move-chair-apply-floorwax-bunot-and-move-back-chair-activity. They say this instills the value of cleanliness, the skill of housekeeping.. We were taught how to make baby clothes from scratch (you can buy this at 40 pesos at any SM department store why bother) know at least 30 kinds of stitches (satin, running, ribbed, fishbone.. Loop the loop.. Ha ha.. 'Yoyo yon) C'mon uso naman ngayon ang designer butas butas!

I know how to fix the sink, p-trap.. Fix most electronic equipment, I know how to rig electricals and make my own boracay lamp.. I know the difference of screw drivers, wrenches, drill bits.. How to move jumpers in PCs, replace components, reformat, assemble and configure.. I have assembled a sofa bed, a bunk bed, shelves, I can extend phone cords, cables (ng TV), setup wifi. Solder, pukpok and lagare, etc.

I have to.. I have to explain this. I have to!!!

Nakakahiya kasi just before this blog, I saw my engineer guy coming from another unit, doing some IMPORTANT fixit duties. He he. Eto ang storya ko with him.. before I have asked the engineering office of our building to service my unit.. As in request for a crevice check on the electrical structure because for months.. Paisa-isang nawawala ang light/s ko sa kitchen, eto ang aming first interaction, ayaw ko sanang tumawag sa engineering office, DIY girl nga 'di ba, yabang pa ako:

I go : electrical yan, kasi napalitan ko na ayaw pa rin.. Tapos may sunog sa rim yung bumbilya.. Dati isa lang yung ayaw gumana.. Ngayon pareho na sila.. Siguro yung circuit..

Electrician : (tinker, tinker)

I go : baka yung mga kable diyan sa kitchen, kasi pareho silang nawala na lang, busted na yung socket.. Hindi ba delikado yan…

Electrician : (tinker, tinker)
Ok na…

I go : sure na ha. Di na delikado. Baka pagsimulan pa yan ng sunog ha.

Electrician : Hindi po. Ok na po.

Then he made me sign his itinerary. Bwahahaha.. Under his "task done in unit" space, it said in bold letters "CHANGE OF BULB."

WAAAAAAAAAHHHHH! Whatever!

Hindi pa naman siya "nasisira" ever since. So in this man's eyes I am just like a typical "can't-live-on-my-own-girl." I can't even change my own bulb.
