Spree.

Our neighbour and his friends are having a drinking spree at this very moment. I wanted to take a picture of them but if I open the jalousies of my window they will definitely know it.
I am tired and exhausted from work and I need to sleep now. But I can't. I can't just tell them to talk softly or quietly because they are drinking.
My son is already asleep. Possibly he is using the earphones of his smart phone.
In the meantime I will play candy crush first and hopefully my neighbour and his friends will call it a night later.

maybe you can use earplugs, those small cone-shaped foams you insert in your ear?

yes, i know how an earplug looks like. i think i cannot put that on because i have to be aware of my sister if she complains of pains.

So, how was the drinking spree? Did it end early?
Isn't it that there was a mandate from the president that videokes is only up to 10:00 in the evening? So I think that is also applicable. Maybe you should get the cell phone number of your barangay captain so that next time something like this happens, you can just call him to tell them to stop already.

my lady, our barangay captain is now getting useless with his responsibilities. that is why when he re-runs for the position, we will not vote for him. we have a neighbor who is a kagawad, and he spoke to our neighbor to stop at 12 midnight, or they should not speak loud.

@ridingbet that is good. Here in our village, they can only do that until 10PM. If not, we can call the security to tell them to stop. lol

@rakski VA, our neighbor is a 'kagawad' and he was aware about that. they were drinking inside their yard and they were not noisy.

until what time did they sing? isn't it there is a rule now that loud videoke and drinking along the streets is prohibited?

Some people are really rude and selfish po. They think they own the street.

That's really annoying when you can hear your neighbour's activities. You must live pretty close to them.

Yes. It is this close. I took this picture just now in my room. You can see the table they used last night.

i think you will find me amusing or funny, because i am accustomed to loud sounds, but not at night because i need to sleep especially if i am exhausted. last night was a silent night, but the conversations of the neighbor and his friends were the sounds i heard.

My husband is feeling the same way about neighbors who has no sense of consideration to their neighbors and am too. An internet shop is just in front of our house and my husband find it hard to sleep at night when teenagers were very loud playing online games.
