Day#16 of Happiness

I just arrive in my little apartment today. I sleep 11 p.m last night and woke up 2 in the morning to prepare for my early departure. I had a feeling that it's gonna be a long day for me.

When I got home, I smell my rooms emptiness. I feel that my room is patiently waiting for my arrival. Longing for me to-do the clean up after it was being affected by the flood. It's not that bad really. unlike those that you see in the news. what happens is probably after raining for about a month plus 1 week of really heavy rain, the cement got moist. Also during heavy rain, water will gets inside passing the main door. I believe that's why my bed is real wet, But if I was there during the flood week, then for sure it won't happen.

Moving forward, as soon as I got home, I just put my bags at the corner and sweep the floor right away. I had to turn my bed upside down to dry the wet side. I had to wipe some wet spot on the floor too. An hour later, water is gone so I decided to-go-to the store and buy my grocery. I had bottled water, and some healthy foodies. :)

When I got home from grocey, I gave my friends their pasalubong, something to snack on. I waited another 2 hours before I decided to take a nap. It was a long nap and I am happy I did.

Right now, I am here in front of my lappy relaxing a little. I plan to-go to bed early tonight. I still feel tired.

And before I will end this entry. I want you to know that no matter what happens, life is a wonderful blessing. The one's that I experience are just really minor compared to those people who are affected by the monsoon.

I feel lucky and blessed!

The typhoon that was...

Last Tuesday I braved myself going to work even Manila is in signal no.3 .When I left home the rain just pour a little so I thought it was just a mistake weather update (kidding). The problem starts after I stepped out in the bus. The wind starts to blow hard, that I could no longer use my umbrella. The rain is still calm the same situation as I left the house but it was non-stop.

I asked the boss, that I will leave early as I don't want to-be caught up in traffic. I feel so scared to be stranded in the city of Manila where drug addict and crazy people are countless. So glad that she allow me.

Many passengers were waiting for the bus. The rain starts to pour so heavy and water starts to increase its level. I felt nervous at that time. When thirty minutes had passed by already and no bus yet is coming I decided to cross the street. I did not brave on the flood. It was nasty and I don't wanna get sick. So I decided to call a trikes and pay money to the driver. better that way.

After an hour of waiting finally a non-air condition bus came. I felt relieve and happy. While inside the bus, I told myself not to-go outside the house when typhoon occur. I have learnt that lesson that day. LOL!

Here's some photos from my phone.
