////
Lilith was her only lifeline here. They made eye contact over the shoulder of a long-winded oil baron, and Beatrice silently begged her for help, getting a small nod in return. Her friend marched away from the corner she was lurking in and straight toward her, grabbing a flute of champagne off a passing waiter’s tray. Beatrice eyed her with a touch of wariness, noticing a hint of mischief in her leonine face.
The oil baron was half-way through a rant about the Paris Accord by the time she stood at his shoulder. Beatrice thought she knew what was about to happen next. Lilith would upturn the flute on the man’s back, ruin his designer suit, and maybe shoulder-check him with a little too much force for good measure. Then she would spew a flurry of simpering apologies until he begged off to clean up, freeing Beatrice from his presence.
Apparently, she didn’t know Lilith’s playbook as well as she thought, because a torrent of ice-cold liquid splashed onto her front instead. “Ah!”
“Oh, I’m so sorry, Beatrice!” Lilith could be a brilliant actress when she wanted to be. Beatrice knew this well. Her particular brand of abrasive, uncomfortable charm came in handy all the time, as did her penchant for skullduggery. “Oh, I’ve made a mess of you, this won’t do at all!” Her hands fluttered ineffectually over the front of Beatrice’s gown before she turned a razor-gleam smile on the baron. “I apologize for my interruption, Mr. Simmonds. Would you mind terribly if I borrow Beatrice to get cleaned up?”
The man winced subtly under her repellant stare and cleared his throat awkwardly. “Yes, of course, you’re quite right to. Thank you for your time, Ms. Young.”
“Lovely to speak with you,” Beatrice said robotically, already distracted by Lilith’s hand wrapping around her bicep to pull her away. Once they were out of earshot, however, she scowled at Lilith. “That was hardly necessary.”
Lilith shrugged, lips ticking upward. “Maybe not, but it was funny. And what’s the harm? It’s not as if you like that dress.”
Beatrice huffed, but could not refute the assertion. “Still, what am I supposed to do now? Can’t exactly dab this up with a hand towel, can I? And I can’t go back out there with champagne down my front.”
“Go home,” her friend responded casually.
“What?”
They stopped just in front of the restroom door, a thin thing painted an inoffensive ecru. Lilith’s sharp eyes scanned the ballroom once before speaking in a hushed tone. “Just leave, Bea. I’ve given you an out, so go home and stop puttering about in this purgatory.”
“And just what will my parents say to that?”
“I’ll tell them,” she said. “I’ll apologize profusely and then distract them by talking about law school. Easy as anything.”
Beatrice sighed, considering this offer. She wouldn’t deny how tempting it was. The chance to bail out early and have some genuine alone time at home was too good to pass up. And if Lilith was so willing to help, then…
“Fine,” she conceded quietly. “I’ll text Danil to pick me up.”
“Good,” Lilith responded, satisfied. “You should probably still try dabbing with a hand towel. At least so you don’t drip all over the back seat.”
Beatrice rolled her eyes. “You’re an ass, you know that?”
“Now, Beatrice, I think you can show a little more gratitude than that.”
She rolled them again. “Thank you, I suppose.”
Lilith hummed. “Needs work, but I’ll accept it. Now sod off.”

𝙷𝙸𝚂𝚃𝙾𝚁𝚈
you are born in the slums of volgograd and almost freeze to death before you are three. in the unforgiving russian winter you are forged into something stronger. your mother is a sex worker doing her best to keep you fed and alive but the cost outweighs any reprieve from hunger or sadness. you learn to fight for everything and fight dirty, you are not above taking up a stone to end something that never should have begun. still you crawl under the threadbare covers with your mother at night and wish for something better, you want to protect her from the world and when she grows sick there is nowhere to turn to for help until him.
you are twelve and danill belikov appears like a god out of light over a trash can fire. he asks why you look sad and you tell him, your mother is dying. he offers to save her but to a cost. she can live but you must come with him and you must never contact her again. the weight of her life weighs heavy on you but you accept his offer. you kiss your mother on the forehead as she heals and you disappear into the night. danill is a quiet man, rife with secrets but he becomes like a brother to you. he teaches you how to throw a punch, talk to women, and kill. you owe him your life, your mother's life and nothing will ever repay that debt. you spend the next two years in his fighting pits proving yourself until you rip a man's ear off with your teeth and danill finally, finally beckons you to serve by his side.
you are twenty-six when she appears. haunting and the most beautiful thing you've ever seen. danill has always warned you against love but it is easy with her. for the first time in your life you want something other than danill, you want her, you want a life, you want your mother back. but before you can even attempt to form something new danill is dead and she is gone. you are grieving two deaths when one resurrects, lazarus rewritten. everything is a lie, nothing is real. and so using danill's connections to the white crocodiles you come to america for the first time. a front for what your plan really is, she will die and you will be the one to kill her.
𝙿𝙴𝚁𝚂𝙾𝙽𝙰𝙻𝙸𝚃𝚈
on the surface dmitri is roguish and endlessly charming. he has an easy affable nature about him with an undercurrent of something far more dangerous. he's not a man to be trifled with but he doesn't flash his authority around. he's content to simply let people fuck around and find out. he's a passionate man ruled by his heart and not his mind despite his best efforts. he can never seem to pull away even when it might be better for him. stubborn to the core he's the kind of person who refuses to give up and despite his life of crime he's steadfast and strictly moral.
𝚆𝙰𝙽𝚃𝙴𝙳 𝙲𝙾𝙽𝙽𝙴𝙲𝚃𝙸𝙾𝙽𝚂
danill's associates: danill was a legendary russian assassin. these people would have known dmitri as danill's right hand man.
white crocodiles: dmitri has only been in new york for a month and yet somehow has a position as a capo with the white crocodiles through danill's connections. the other members of the group could be wary of him and wonder what his intentions are.
called in a favor: dmitri knew this person before coming to new york. now that he's here he's using every favor and connection he has to get himself into a good position for his plan. this person is one of those favors.

romance headcanons.
NAME: danil dragomir yakovenko.
NICKNAME: "dismas" for his codename, "dee" by his favorite people only.
GENDER: male.
ORIENTATION: heterosexual + heteromantic.
PREFERRED PET NAMES: he likes to give out special pet names, not really receive them. he's not opposed to receiving them, though. as long as it's not cringey, he's okay with it.
RELATIONSHIP STATUS: divorced - single. danil keeps a good amount of distance between himself and keeping up with a relationship.
FAVORITE CANON SHIP( S ): danil and sam. they're strictly non-romantic, they just bicker and argue like siblings. they will go months without seeing or hearing each other but they have each other's backs. they've known each other since they were kids during their training days.
another favorite is with adrian creed. adrian is more so on the technical/administrative/medical side of their world. their relationship is pretty unrequited since he's usually the one that's always in danger. them working in similar circles causes a lot of restraint. danil is absolutely fond of her brains and beauty, he will purposefully find excuses to see her during off-duty hours if he's able to have time. it's a very cute little ship in my brain.
FAVORITE NON-CANON SHIP( S ): danil with anya pestov. she's super strong and can snap him in two, he would thank her if he was given the chance.
OPINION ON TRUE LOVE: danil doesn't know too much about true love. he understands what the feeling is, how it functions and what people will do for it. as for being in love for himself, he's not sure and he can't share his opinion on the matter.
OPINION ON LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT: danil doesn't believe in it at all. it's a fairytale to him.
HOW ‘ROMANTIC’ ARE THEY: he is passionate and giving. he loves to shower his partner with affection and admiration. danil takes notes of what his partner would like or dislike. part of his love language is attention to detail, he does not like to make his partner feel uncomfortable at any point. also forehead/hand kisses are a BIG thing with him.
IDEAL PHYSICAL TRAITS: he's drawn to facial features, mostly eyes and lips. as part of his training, analyzing a person's expressions becomes second nature to him so he easily picks up certain traits that stick out to him. he's learned to really appreciate how eyes and lips connect and he finds it very attractive. he also loves a woman with some curve to her figure, he likes to hold onto his partner or cuddle with them tightly.
IDEAL PERSONALITY TRAITS: someone with charm, funny. he loves to laugh and step out of his role as an agent and be a human being for once. if his partner can do that, it's chef's kiss. he loves an independent woman, someone who's secure and also willing to be vulnerable while he provides a safe space for her.
UNATTRACTIVE PHYSICAL TRAITS: he's not a fan of plastic surgery. especially if it's overly done and obvious, danil doesn't find it attractive at all.
UNATTRACTIVE PERSONALITY TRAITS: attention seekers. entitled people. disrespectful people. anyone who doesn't have human decency. manipulative traits also fall here. (even though danil is someone who manipulates for a living, he refuses to do so with his partner.)
DO THEY HAVE A TYPE: he doesn't have an extremely specific type.
AVERAGE RELATIONSHIP LENGTH: this varies with him. danil does have one night stands and that is set in motion from the jump. in terms of romance, it would have to be circumstantial.
PREFERRED NON-SEXUAL INTIMACY: sharing music, movies, quality time. experiencing different activities together. he loves to do acts of service for others. sharing a quiet space together and happily co-existing.
COMMITMENT LEVEL: if danil believes it's worth the trouble and risking his life for, he will commit to it as best as he can.
OPINION OF PUBLIC AFFECTION: he likes to keep it private but he doesn't mind a small kiss here and there or holding hands with his love.
PAST RELATIONSHIPS: his ex-wife. that relationship was full of lies on his end. he never told her that he was an agent and it seemed like he was always out cheating when he was nearly getting himself killed almost every month. eventually she filed for divorce and found out after that danil was a spy. he regrets not being able to tell her the truth but he certainly wouldn't want to be with her again for the sake of keeping her safe. his ex-wife is not involved in espionage but she is within the governmental circle.

she has a way with words. Better yet, she has a way with men. A skill Oryan had cultivated in a field dominated by males. While she likes to act tough, carry her gun around and be one of the boys, the easiest way to get a man to talk is to pull on the womanly charm. A skill that Oryan has learned to master over the years.
A seductress’ smile covers her lips. Were she dressed in an evening gown or cocktail dress, Oryan would have teased Danil with her ample cleavage. As it were, she’s dressed in a t-shirt and blazer. It will have to do.
“Trust me,” Oryan purs. “You’ll feel better about yourself once you do this. And then, after you do this task for me, we can do anything you want.” A sultry wink flies across to room. Let him chew on that for a while. Oryan doesn’t often use sex as a tool, often leading men on. She has resorted to the tact a time or two. But it’s not something she does or takes lightly.

ENCRYPTED MESSAGE FROM : @bornbshell ATTACHED FILE : ❛ i guess it’s just my overused hoodie and i against the world. ❜ ( danil ) / meme ➣ accepting !
THE WARMTH FROM THE STOVE WRAPPED AROUND HER LIKE A COAT, making her forget the cold that had previously cut through the layers she wore as they’d shared a kiss outside. the cold and snow being momentarily forgotten by the pair. clad in a light blue knit pullover, dark wash jeans and her wool blend socks, natalie looked like she belonged in the apartment she was currently in. helping prepare their meal, the remaining ingredients were added to the pot just as her company strolled back in wearing an off black hoodie that had seen better days. amusement threatened to unfurl across her lips however it was hidden behind the rim of her wine glass, the contents that remained downed. the earlier conversation that could have taken place, were it not for the kiss, still lingers in her mind. we should talk, never leads to anything good, especially not when you’re undercover.
❛ a man who can cook. you do not see that everyday. ❜ refilling her glass, the leaned against the kitchen counter, gaze steadily upon tom danil as he moved into view. they’d been running into reach other in the entrance hall and on the stairs over the past couple of weeks. at first it had been wholly unintentional, however, once a pattern had been established in his semi-irregular schedule, she’d found excuses to end up in his line of sight while in the building. soon after, loose plans had been made to grab dinner. however, work had interrupted the vaguely established plans, as she had received intel that not only was someone else after piotr fedorov but that her target would be having a gathering at a private estate which most likely meant that a deal was going to happen soon. competition in her line of work was never a good thing but neither was finding the competition charming and intriguing. she knows better than this, she is better than this. but sometimes, sometimes feelings were the only way to take someone out of the equation. tom irvington was ordinary enough not to be considered a threat but no matter how ordinary a person might be, there were always secrets to be unearthed---- his just happened to potentially put her own cover at risk. without knowing how much he knew, how much he suspected it was best to play her role to it’s full potential. which was why she had agreed that dinner should be at his place. and as she stood in his kitchen, the widow found it rather unfortunate that the wine did nothing to make her forget how his lips felt against her own. she wondered if he too feels the same way.
chin nudged the space between them, gaze flickering over the hoodie he wore. ❛ tell me, what is the story behind that overused hoodie. there has to be one. ❜ a sweet smile, like many others she’d given him. natasha refused to let him see through her. refused to let the mask slip.

@sithstolen asked: ❛ who sent you ? ❜ ( for danil )
𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐐𝐔𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐁𝐄𝐆𝐒 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐀 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐏𝐄𝐑 𝐀𝐍𝐒𝐖𝐄𝐑 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐘𝐄𝐓 there was not enough to enthrall him to pursue one. a vibroblade nestled in his palm strokes back between his fingers and rest its straight edge against his forearm, hiding in plain sight. danil would be awfully foolish to assume this woman wouldn’t take a wild guess as to where his weapons could be hiding. a sith had a strange foresight that he couldn’t comprehend. he certainly couldn’t bother himself to be educated, “ a few of your former allies. surprised? ”
his cheshire grin peeked and matched with playful eyes, charming to say the least. the sole purpose in killing her would be tying up a loose end --it’s fortunate that there was another route he had in mind, “ i believe you and i have plenty to discuss. unless you prefer to fight this out? ”

Malex Prompt: Alex tries to move on with Michael's ex (knowingly)
cross posted to AO3
Bet It’s Such a Bitter Pill (teen)
It started as an idea. Just a daydream really, something to pass the time. Alex wasn’t going to act on it. He just needed a distraction from feeling shitty and left behind. He didn’t think he was capable of turning the tables on Michael until he actually met Daniel one night at the Wild Pony. Before then he hadn’t even known there was a Daniel, he’d only imagined some nameless faceless guy.
But Daniel was charming in real life. He made Maria introduce them and immediately started chatting Alex up. When he’d left to take beers to his friends, Maria told Alex who he was. Michael’s ex. A serious ex of all things.
When Daniel comes back and slides onto the stool next to him, Alex still hasn’t decided anything, but Maria gives him a knowing look like she’s figured it out before he had, and maybe she had. She passed him another beer and thankfully didn’t say anything. Daniel on the other hand had plenty to say.
“You’re Alex Manes right? I was at your parade.”
Alex hung his head in embarrassment. He chuckled before saying, “You have to know I wasn’t expecting that. They only told me the day before and by then it was too late to cancel.”
“Not a huge fanfare guy, huh?” Daniel asked.
“Not so much, no. I’m much more low key.” Alex told him.
Daniel smiled. “I think I can see that. You have a very chill vibe.” He said, pointing his finger up and down Alex like he was taking Alex’s measure.
They continued on like that for a half hour before Daniel’s friends came and pulled him away. Not before he slipped Alex his number, though. Maria’s eyebrows had plenty to say about that, but Alex didn;t know yet. He hadn’t thought it all the way through, he’d only been going with the flow and enjoying himself.
When he got home he had time to think about it. Michael’s ex. A serious ex. Would it sting? Would Michael even care? He and Maria hadn’t lasted two weeks, but even so it had devastated Alex. He’d only just started sort of halfway talking to Maria. He hadn’t even thought about talking to Michael and Michael hadn’t tried to contact him either.
Technically he was a free man and could date whomever he pleased. But would he just be using Daniel to make Michael mad? Maybe. Daniel was funny though, kinda hot in a rugged way, actually he was exactly Alex’s type. But Alex hadn’t ever really dated. Not in high school, obviously, and not in the air force. There had been guys, of course there had been, but Alex had been in the closet and so had they. Nothing serious. Mouths, hands, stolen moments behind the barracks.
Michael was as close to dating as Alex ever got. And it was a pretty pathetic attempt. He’d spent so much of their time together denying how he felt and trying to get away from it, only to have the tables turned on him in the last moment when Michael chose Maria over him.
Alex spent the rest of the night trying to decide what to do and in the end he came up with this: If Michael can go after his best friend then Alex can go after Michael’s ex and if he has a problem with it, who cares? Maybe that makes it even better. Alex was going to take a chance and see where it went.
Alex: Hey, it’s Alex Manes. You wanna grab a drink some time?
Only a couple of minutes go by before there’s a response.
Daniel: I’m free tonight, you?
Alex: I’m free.
Daniel: Meet me at The Wild Pony at 8?
Alex: Sure, see you then.
Alex found himself taking extra time with his outfit that night. He wore a button down with hsi jean jacket over it, his nice blue jeans. He’s glad he did when he gets to the bar and sees that Daniel has done the same. He looks great. He even shaved so that he’s scruffy beard is now more a sexy shadow.
“You look good.” He told Alex first thing.
“So do you.” Alex said with a smile. He could do this. He could totally date.
“So what’re we drinking?” Daniel asked as he slid onto the stool at the bar.
“Just beer for me. For now.” Alex told him. Maria’s eyes went wide when she saw them, but she served them with a friendly enough smile.
Alex took a drink of his beer and took a quick glance around the bar. He wasn’t looking for anyone in particular, more that he was checking to see if anyone was looking at him. It was habit. A bad habit. He couldn’t be on a date and be worried that someone would see him on a date. It’s not like his dad was going to walk in and ruin everything.
He decided it was best just to focus on Daniel. Daniel who was talking about music. Good, Alex could talk music.
“And that’s when I realized that current country, or country music after 9/11 just isn’t the same.” He was saying.
Okay, Alex didn’t know much about country but he was at least intrigued.
“Why isn’t it the same? I don’t really listen to it, but now you’ve got me curious.” Alex asked.
Daniel smiled widely. “You see it’s all about patriotism. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m completely behind our armed forces. You have my full support.”
‘Thank you.” Alex told him, still curious as to where this was going.
Daniel continued, “But I don’t think all the wars are so great. I’d like it if we could bring our troops home. And I’d like it if people stopped pretending that America is without flaws. Country music used to be about pickup trucks and horses and falling in love and getting your heart broken, tears in your beers kind of stuff, but now it’s just about how wonderful it is to live in America and how we’re better than anyone else.”
“Interesting.” Alex said. “Like I said, I don’t really listen to it, but I can imagine that would be frustrating. I’m not the biggest fan our current state of affairs myself. I certainly don’t want songs about how great it all is.”
“Exactly! I would appreciate something a little more down to earth or realistic, at the very least.” Daniel explained.
After their beers they ordered tequila and that made Alex feel a lot more relaxed. He’d been trying so hard to focus on Daniel and being with Daniel that it had become the very thing that was stressing him out.
They talked about what music Alex was into, currently a mix of alternative rock and singer songwriter stuff. They talked about movies and television. Alex admitted he’d never had time for Game of Thrones during deployment, but that he was almost current with the MCU. Daniel was very into DC and that took up a good portion of their conversation; a lively debate about the merits of DC vs Marvel.
By the time they were several shots in, Alex was completely failing to notice anyone around them. So he wasn’t paying attention to Michael just a few seats down when Danil picked up his hand from the bar, licked a stripe across his wrist, salted it, licked it again, and took his last shot. He was only made aware when Michael came over and pulled Daniel off of him.
“What the hell, Guerin?” He asked, standing as fast as he could.
Michael had the good sense to look abashed, but only for a second. “He was all over you!” He said.
“That’s kind of the point of a date!” Alex told him.
“Hey, you two know each other? How?” Daniel asked, holding his hands up in surrender.
“He’s my ex.” They said at the same time.
“And he’s my ex.” Daniel said, pointing to Michael.
Alex hung his head. “I know. Maria told me.”
“So what, you were just going to date me and not tell me about this?” Daniel looked hurt and Alex felt like an asshole.
“I thought I might tell you if things were working out.” He admitted.
The whole while Michael just stood there, staring him down.
“Things aren’t going to work, in case you were wondering.” Daniel told him plainly.
“Yeah, I think I figured that out.” Alex said.
“I don’t want in the middle of whatever this is anyway.” Daniel said before he walked away.
“What was that?” Michael asked. “Were you trying to make me jealous?”
Alex raked a hand through his hair. “Maybe? I don’t know Michael. It seemed like a good idea at the time and now I just feel like an idiot. I thought maybe if you saw us together you’d know what it felt like to see you with Maria.”
“Walk with me?” Michael asked indicating the door.
“Why not?” Alex shrugged. He felt so stupid. He might as well hear whatever Michael had to say to him.
Outside the warm breeze helped sober him up. He breathed in deep and when he felt like he could stand it, he turned to dface Michael.
“I was jealous, so it worked.” Michael admitted.
Alex just shook his head.
“I thought you’d feel relieved when I went to Maria. I was supposed to be setting you free. That was stupid. That was the mistake. Seeing you with Daniel just now, I know a little of what that must have felt like and it felt like shit. I never should have put you through that, but I was a coward Alex. Our past is riddled with pain and I wanted to hide from that. It wasn’t fair to Maria and it really wasn’t fair to you. I wish I could take it back. I’m so fucking sorry I did that.” Michael said, laying it all out there. Everything Alex wished he would have said sooner. Now it was too late, wasn’t it?
“I’m sorry. I know I kept pushing you away and then I just expected you to come to me when I was ready. I didn’t consider whether or not you were still waiting for me. Now this thing with Daniel, I don’t think I deserve your apology.” Alex told him softly.
“You do, though, that’s just it. I am sorry and you deserve to hear that and to know that I regret it all. I’ve been a wreck without you.” Michael whispered the last part as if it were too hard to say out loud.
“I’m a wreck without you!” Alex said, exasperated by trying to hold back his emotions.
“Then maybe we should–” Michael started but Alex cut him off.
“Don’t. Don’t say that unless you really mean it.”
Michael reach his hand toward Alex, grabbing him by the sleeve and pulling him closer. “I mean it, Alex. Maybe we should give this one last shot.”
Alex didn’t have an answer for that, but he went willingly into Michael’s arms, into a kiss that felt like coming home. We they came up for air, Michael leaned his forehead against Alex’s. “Let me take you home.”
“No, I can’t.” Alex whispered. “I just can’t do that yet.”
“Then let me bring you breakfast. We can talk some more, try to work this out.” Michael urged.
“Okay.” Alex agreed. “Just breakfast, and talking.”
“You gonna be okay getting home? Michael asked.
“I’ll call Liz.” He said.
“Then I’ll see you tomorrow.” Michael promised.
“See you tomorrow.” Michael finally pulled away and let him go.
Alex watched as Michael walked away. Maybe this was crazy, maybe it could never work between them now, but he had hope. A tiny warm seed of hope growing in the middle of his chest and he couldn’t help it. He couldn’t wait to see Michael again and see if they really had a chance.
He walked to his car and leaned against the hood to call Liz. “You’ll never believe how my night just went.” He told her.
She made him promise there were plenty of details to come when she got there. And Alex smiled, the first real smile in probably weeks. Michael was bringing him breakfast and they were going to talk. For real this time. It felt good. It felt right. Michael slipped his phone into his pocket and laid back on the hood of his jeep to wait. Suddenly the night felt full of promise.

Innkeepers, Christine Carnicelli and Danille Petrie, who purchased the inn in the fall of 2019, are working hard to balance the colonial charm of the 1840s building with the need for modern amenities. As they made cosmetic changes to the Inn, they realized that an upgrade was needed on their boiler. “When guests come to […]

‘Rescued’, ‘adopted’ elderlies thankful to gov't
#PHnews: ‘Rescued’, ‘adopted’ elderlies thankful to gov't
MANILA – While many have succumbed to fear and loneliness during the quarantine, senior citizens who were taken into the state-owned Golden Action and Reception Center for the Elderly and other Special Cases (GRACES) said they have many things to be grateful for.
Orlando (not his real name), 73, told the Philippine News Agency (PNA), said life is still so much better for him these days compared to when he used to live with relatives.
“Yung mga kapatid ko, hindi naman nila ako kayang alagaan, may kanya-kanya na kaming mga buhay. Magkasama nga kami pero hindi kasi nila kayang bigyan ng budget ang pang-maintenance ko (I have siblings but I cannot depend on them to fully care for me. We can be together but they have their own priorities already. There won’t be any money to spend for my medication),” he said.
GRACES, formerly called Golden Acres, operated by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), provides residential care and professional attention to Filipino senior citizens who are “abandoned, neglected, unattached, and homeless”.
The DSWD has secured a budget for the residents’ medication, other basic necessities, and even activities for leisure.
Orlando said in his youth, he would play basketball with his friends and co-workers in Muntinlupa City.
He said before he was transferred to GRACES, he was a cook of the family of the vice mayor in his hometown.
He said sometime in his childhood, he would remember not being able to eat what he called good food because they were expensive but when the time came that he had money to spend, his doctor had already prohibited him from eating those.
“Nasa gitna ka lang talaga lagi. Dapat marunong bumalanse kasi ganoon naman talaga ang buhay diba. Magsisipag ka pero magpakasaya ka rin (It should always be in the middle. People should learn how to balance everything out in this life. You toil but you also need to have fun),” he said.
Virginia Daniles, center head of GRACES, said there are two ways the elders arrive at the nursing home -- either they are rescued or referred by their relatives or the concerned local government unit.
“Usually, we will find them by the streets. They are homeless and are left by themselves,” she said.
Aside from the fun activities they share, the residents in the facility also have their own council.
Ariel (not his real name), 92, the council head, said he was elected as the leader because of his ‘charm’.
“Para yun ma-organisa kami. Para mapag-usapan kung anong gagawin, magkukumustahan, babatian (That was so we can be organized. So we can schedule our activities, so we have a reason to talk and say hi to each other),” he said.
Ariel was rescued by the personnel from GRACES sometime in 2015. The old man said he, along with their colleagues at work from Bulacan went to Manila over the weekend but come Monday when they were all drunk, their younger workmates have left.
Daniles said Ariel and his friends were staying in front of the Manila Central Post Office when they rescued them.
She also said the center wishes for their identities to be concealed because they are among those confidential cases.
Other residents, however, are classified as ‘lost’ and the staff members are helping them locate and remember their families.
On Thursday afternoon, the staff of the News and Information Bureau (NIB) distributed gifts for the shelter and the residents for their yearly outreach program.
