The typhoon that took away my house

A big typhoon arrived in the Philippines last Friday night. When i woke up on that Saturday morning its already raining. And since typhoon like that always hit the Philippines, plus at that time it wasn't that strong yet. I went to work and do my regular routine. Its been raining the whole day while i was at the office. It was just a typical rain so i didn't felt it will get worst I guess its because the rain is not that strong. As the hours pass by I receive a call to my friend who were living in Laguna she is our Office manager too. She told me to go home early because she can see at the T.V that the typhoon is getting worst. And that there are flood everywhere she worry that i will have difficulty in commuting it i stay long at the office. So me and my co workers decided to go home early. When i went down the building of our office i can see lots of people already in a hurry to go home. I had didn't have any difficulty in getting a bus, but the bus i took was so full i got to push my self in. I even walk on a flooded street just to arrived at my house. I was already worried when i saw that the town near when i live is flooded already i worry that my house will be flooded too and i am more worry about my stuff. I live alone and nobody will rescue my stuff while I'm away.As i arrive to area where my house is. I was surprise that it already flooded and that the flood is so high. I felt so sad and worry and wondering how my house will look like. While i was walking i came across one of my neighbor and told me that they broke into my house already and save all of my important things, specially the appliances like my computer and the fridge. The flood was waist high and i am sure that if my neighbor didn't do that they did all of my stuff will me wet or will be wash away by the flood. Some of my stuff that wasn't rescued by my neighbors were all wet and already ruin. Like my fictional books that is under the T.v stand and some soap and shampoo that is on the shower floor. I didn't slept that day and was so tired. Walking in the flood that is waist high is so tiring. I cant take a shower too. And i really cant move much. So i decided to text and ask for a permission to our office manage if i can stay at the office while my house is flooded. I'm glad they said yes, so right now i am staying here at the office. And i don't really know how long will i be staying here. I only sleep at the floor. Good thing the floor is carpeted so it wasn't that cold to sleep on to.
I did felt sad and pity for myself by when i saw what happened to other people that day i realize i am much more lucky than they are. Other lost everything, some even lost there love ones or even there life. I'm still luck in someway. Lucky that i have a place to stay. Even if some of my stuff are gone already. At least i still have some clothes to wear from day to day. Even if did have much money, at least i still have some to buy food to eat. I just only hope that the water will be come soon. I really don't like to stay here at the office that long. But i guess i will just enjoy staying here at the office while i am here and try to continue my life and give my best to life everyday.

Rainy days are here again

Philippine is a tropical country and one of the season we have in a year is the rainy season. There are 10 or more typhoon that come and visit my country. Umbrella, raincoat and jacket are the usually thing to bring or buy. And with the change climate that's happening on our world. I need to always be ready that's why i always bring my umbrella with me.
Its been raining for a week now even if there's no typhoon that been reported on the news. And when there's rain there sure is flood everywhere. Some of the street in Metro Manila had been flooded and lots of people and even cars had been stranded because of the flood. I am a little lucky that our office was moved in Makati now. Makati doesn't flood much like other places in Manila. So i didn't had a hard time going home after work. The only thing that is hard for me to do it waking up in the morning, since its cold its really tempting to just stay in my bed and sleep. And the ongoing reconstruction of the drainage in highway where i past by on my way to work. Its makes me wonder why they made the reconstruction when they already know its rainy season. I just hope they will finish it soon enough because the construction is causing traffic that always makes me late from work for the pass weeks already.
But then again i still love the rain. My dad always say rain is the way the earth washes away the dirty of the world. My grandmother told me too that rain are the tears of the million angels in the sky. And one of my friend also told me that rain is the start of a good romance. But for me rain give us reason to hug someone a reason to enjoy the cool breeze of the wind and the splash of the water in our body. Most of the time i do enjoy watching the rain drops on my window. Just sitting down with a cup of coffee and feeling the splash of raindrops on my face. Its one of the things we have to be thankful to god. A privilege of feel the nature, and to be with the nature for a while. Its fun to just walk in the rain sometimes. I remember when i was small i always enjoy
going out and play when its raining. I always do that with my brother. We go out when the rain is really strong already and just ran around and get wet. Feel the raindrops on our head and splash the water on each other. It feel a little cold but it was so fun. One of the memories i have with my brother. Oh! I really miss him so much. But i always know he is in a good hands now. And he always look after me all the time.
Well i guess lesson is even if i always think of the negative stuff specially when I'm down. I can and will find a way to think of the positive side of things so i can survive. And with all of the problem i and we are having in this world were at. It still a good thing to think that God is just there waiting for us to realize that everything has a purpose and that there's always time in everything.

What to do on a rainy day ?!?!?!

What are the things you do when its always raining outside? I guess u wonder about a lot of things. Or maybe you will just get bored staying home. For me rainy day is a good day. I like rain. The cool weather is so comfy for me. I guess cause I'm a home body person. So its ok for me to stay home on a rainy day. Philippines, my country is a place where visited by typhoon every year. I remember before when i was small. My Mom and Dad always worry when storm is coming. When i was small we used to live in a place where theres always flood. Even for just a few rain it flood already. Plus the old house we used to had before have so many holes. So when theres a news about typhoon coming we always get ready to be evacuated. I was raise to always be aware of typhoon. I didn't enjoy the rainy days before cause where more busy preparing for our evacuation.
But right now. I am in a nicer house. Thats why reason why i rented a nicer house. So that i be more secure when times like this come. I am still aware. But not too worry like before. I enjoy rainy days now. Being with my family and staying home. Theres a lot of things to do at home. Play some family games. Or watch some movies together. its enjoying.
But today i didn't stay all day at home. I got to go out and get the money my fiance sent so i can have a check up on Monday. I'm with my sister and my nephew. My nephew loves to go out even when its raining. We went to a fast food chain my nephew love to go too. Too bad i didn't bring my cell for some pictures. My nephew saw the jolibee mascot the first time. His so happy. At first he was kinda shock. its his first time to see jolibee mascot moving. But in a long run. I can see he enjoy sing the mascot. After that went home already. Cause the winds is getting stronger and stronger. We brought some stuff thats needed when its raining. Even if i am in a nicer house i still got to be alert when some safe precaution. Its still raining until now. I can hear the rain drops are so strong outside.
Even if i do like rain. I do hope it stop. To much is bad too. I hear in the news about other province who had problem cause of rain. Some places are flooded too already. I hope everything will be ok. And the rain will stop soon.
Well i guess im off now. I got to sleep soon. I have early church tomorrow. And im excited. Thank you to all the people who come and visit. Takecare and God bless........ babushka !!!!!!!!!!!!!
