Carmina is traveling to the United States to spend time with her family. My dad planned a family gathering for Mother's Day at their favorite Pinoy restaurant . Since reservations aren’t possible, we arrived an hour early to ensure we could get a table for twelve before everyone else showed up. As my dad approached Isla Grand , the branch we visited in Pleasant Hills, California , the host at the door said they could prepare a table for twelve at five o'clock. Later, the server called my dad's name and guided us to our table. The place was bustling with people enjoying meals and celebrating Mother's Day. On our first visit to Isla Grand, I was captivated by the décor, noticing many native items that gave the place a fancy yet authentic Filipino feel. They usually have a live band, but unfortunately, there was no entertainment the night we went. My family had spoken highly of Isla Grand and encouraged us to try the Filipino dishes we’ve been missing from back home. Lech...
I was doing my normal
general cleaning in my room when I decided to clear out my clutter in my room.
I just recently came home from my vacation to visit my family.
I had opened my attic
that is located in my dressing room on the upper closet door. I saw these bugs
that looked unfamiliar to me. It ate the boxes in my attic and that is when I realized
what kind of insect it was. I had called, up some employees to help me out.
They had sprayed vinegar to let it all die out from the items that was already
destroyed.
I had to transfer to
another bedroom next to me for two months.
We had termite’s
inspection in my room and found out the main bedroom also was infected termites. There was a termite house inside the wood located on top of my windows. They had sprayed the termites.
The termite inspector showed me how they can detect whether there are termites or not. He said, if the wood is swollen there are termites inside. As he was inspecting I was able to find out he was talking about as he had inspected the entire house.
My mother in-law didn't
understand the concept where it came from she had blame me for it. She said, it
was my fault to begin with and I told her termites don't eat food. They only
eat wood and paper. I couldn't win from her so I just walked away and explain
to the person spraying to inform her I was saying was true.
My mother in-law no
longer bothered me about it when she had found out it wasn't only my room that
was affected. The termites started from the first floor from the dirt underneath
the home. It just passed by a pole that was connected to my room.
The room I was staying
temporary also had the same problem.
When your homes are old
and made of wood termites lives inside. It takes one month in order to have the
room repaired. I had to bear staying in a room I wasn't comfortable inside.
We had to stay outside
as they had sprayed in the house for one hour.
We had found out we had
to wait one month to have the spray kill all the termites in the house.
My mother in-law was
upset and wanted her home to be repaired as soon as possible. It was no choice
to just wait for one month or else it would have been just useless paying so
much for service and destroy the wood.
She decided to wait and
hold on in working in the rooms. We just stated planning what changes would be
made in our room in the meantime we had to wait for the construction to be
done.
I was told to transfer all my belongings in a plastic tumbler just in case the termites decide to come back again. I just hope it doesn't happen to me again.
