This is the school bus.
Apparently, our house is the last one to be built.
My daughters' school uniforms now include long sleeves and socks because the classrooms are cold due to the air conditioning.
When the air conditioner stops due to a power outage, it reports "'Dady, it was hot today.'".
Up until now, public elementary schools didn't even have air conditioning. Unbelievable...
I'd like to share a little story with you today.
The other day, Gigi and manager Charlie's wife, Annalyn, had a minor argument.
However, Gigi thought it was a trivial matter, while Analyn was apparently quite seriously angry.
The fight started when Gigi borrowed Charlie's motorcycle and had his secretary, Aiai, drive him to the mango farm and back. It seems Analyn wasn't happy that someone other than Gigi was driving the motorcycle.
It seems Gigi overreacted to it, and the situation got out of control.
Gigi cried to me 'I try to make everyone's lives a little better, but all I get are bad replies. Am I a bad girl?'
I had a similar argument with my younger sister, Irene, before.
However, this trouble may have arisen because Gigi is unaware of how incredibly big he has become compared to the people around him.
GigiI even lend my car if someone needs it, so why are they getting so angry over something as trivial as a motorcycle?It seemed hard to understand, but for Analyn, her motorcycle is the most expensive item in her entire collection.
Charlie's salary is 2000 pesos, while our living expenses are 37,500 pesos.
The difference is a staggering 19 times. And this gap is only going to widen further.
In Japan, someone earning 6 million yen a year would find it very difficult to be friends with someone earning 120 million yen a year.
Those around Gigi are constantly fluctuating between joy and despair based on Gigi's actions and words.
If you don't handle Gigi with care, you're likely to repeat the same problems.
