Thursday, July 4, 2024

Sorry, been in and out of hospital for gout infection surgery, hemodialysis, diabetes, high-blood pressure, and four transfusions of blood so far, among others. I am. after all. an old man of 73. Thanks to those who provided sympathy and care--I may not be able to thank you individually but I know who you are, including my selfless sisters and granddaughters, Mike who sent me a wheelchair, insulin injectors, blood sugar testers, and blood oxygen finders, M. who manages my personal affairs and schedules the 50 different kinds of medication I must take everyday, Neil, who is now my gainfully-paid, full-time nurse and male companion like a character from a Tennessee Williams play, and the meal-plan chefs. Not to forget Erwin, who sent a Santi's carrot cake, and Vanessa, who sent me a scrumptious, sugar-free chocolate cake.

In the meantime I'm still waiting for everything to go back to normal.

Take care yourself. Believe me, it is more expensive to be sick rather than healthy.

Our tureen with six bowls arrived. We had to have this because we always serve sinigang, a fresh soup dish and, even without rice, a complete meal in itself: I buy from two hawkers' stands in the neighborhood and my granddaughters order from Gerry's Grill Araneta Center.

There are more items I've been wanting to purchase, though I think I'll hold off until next month. But, I thank God that I retired as an Embassy employee and not as an academic, so that now I can buy not only everything I want and need but everything my granddaughters want and need as well.

I am not one of those artists who believe in suffering for art.

I am a hedonist, and a great believer in having fun. And the only way to have great fun is to earn a lot of money.

Sometimes you just have to stop creating art and make some real money for yourself. It's more fun, and it's more fulfilling.

Switching to charger plates from place mats for now, but I'm not abandoning our novelty place mats. I just might give some sets away.

I love charger plates now because they are made of acrylic and easy to clean, maintain, and store., A decade ago I turned up my nose at charger plates because all of them were made of brass, and I couldn't envision myself polishing them regularly. Our house, after all, does not employ a hotel staff.

Now I can have as many different styles of charger plates as I want.

Your Messenger message:

"Good evening Sir Tony!
"I have a question. Do our pets in the physical realm also journey with us in our dreams? "I commonly hear about cats but for me my current dog is always with me in my dreams during battles. "Also, how can you distinguish a prophetic dream from a normal one? "Because I had a dream being a spy to help the country get passports and other supplies during the war. I got emotional when I almost missed the flight to deliver the goods back home. "Thank you!"


My reply:

Hello ____!

As a general rule, dreams involving pets are based on memory traces rather than the actual spirits of pets, because animals, like insects and other creatures, immediately reincarnate, which is why they will always exist on earth.

As to prophetic dreams, all one needs to do is observe whether such dreams eventually happen--and consistently.

Avoid relying on wish-fulfillment. It will not serve you well.
Good morning, Cubao!
