Wednesday be like

What a rainy Wednesday for us here in Tacloban City! It's been raining since last night. But I think the rain will stop soon as the sky is brighter. I really hope so, because I don't want to go to school while raining. If I was living at a higher place, then I wouldn't have problem with rain. But I am living in a lower area and when the rain starts, the road in front of the house floods. I'm getting used to it as I been living here for more than a year now, but it is still not nice.

Sometimes when it's rainy day, I am too lazy to get up and get ready for school. I prefer to stat in bed longer when the weather is so bad. But later on that day, I still end up going to school. After writing my thoughts about the today's weather, I will get up and take a shower then get ready for school. I have four hours class today, unless our teacher always dismisses us early.

Feel the summer, but avoid heatstroke

This time of the year, it is everywhere too hot in the Philippines. Therefore, I always take a bottle of water with me, just in case I get thirsty. The heat cannot be ignored because of the risk of a heatstroke. It is always better to drink a lot of water in time. The risk is higher for older people or people with low immune system.

We hoped for summer, now the summer is there, hence we must embrace the super hot summer. I just hope everyone here in the Philippines watches themselves. Besides drinking enough water, swimming in the sea helps to cool of the body. If you are living near the ocean like myself, you are lucky. Just avoid the deep water because of the strong currents in the sea. But I don't swim often, because I fear to get too dark. LOL!

Anyway I hope everyone is enjoying the summer. Always stay safe!

Good morning

Good morning to you all, wherever you are around the world! I hope you have a great day, morning, evening or night.

It's sunny morning here in the Philippines. I decided to write down my thoughts while I am waiting for my breakfast. I never liked breakfast at all, but I want to make a change, so I will have a cup of coffee and scrambled eggs. My cousin is cooking it at the moment.

I think today I'll do something useful. Maybe go to Canhugas this afternoon. I haven't seen Canhugas for a month now. I might take a visit to the place later.

I wish for everyone nothing but the best! Be positive and never take life too seriously! You don't want to get old carrying lots of problems around. Instead, enjoy life! Choose happiness, not sadness! Be with people who value you! Show them the same amount of attention and love they've giving you! That's all. Take care! :)

Why is it not summer?

I thought summer has already started here in Philippines. Vacation is coming, hence I need good weather. But it is raining all the time. The road is flooded again. I don't like this weather as I don't want to go outside since it is so dirty and slippery. I looked at the sky and it is so dark, and that means more rain is coming all day.

I hate going to school with dirty shoes, but I have no choice, because I have P.E. this afternoon. I cannot skip the class since it is our finals.

Well, after this week, vacation starts. The school will start in June again, so I got two months of vacations. Not bad, I can rest, and relax, be with my family, and hang out with my friends. Or maybe go somewhere, and chill. Or paint at home. There's so much in my head that I want to do this summer. I hope I can do most of it in my vacations.

Summer Heat

I can feel the summer already! It is really hot right now! I'm thinking to go swimming. Not today as I still have classes to attend, but later. Maybe when vacations come. I have school until the 31st of March, and the graduation is on April 1st, so I think I can start my vacation on the second week of April.

Hopefully we can take all the remaining exams next week for the finals. The finals aren't really easy, as there will lots of difficult questions in the exam, covering all of what we have learned up to now. I'm not even sure if I can pass the P.E this semester. If I fail, I need to repeat that subject in next semester. I've got only 5 points during the prefinals in P.E. This subject is what I worry the most, I wish I can pass. The finals are the most important exam for the whole semester.

But despite my worries about the finals, I am still excited for this coming summer. Whatever happens, if I pass or not, I just have to accept it either way.

Thoughts

Good morning everyone! Today is Friday. I'm still in bed, no homework to do, so writing my thoughts right now is not a bad idea. Yesterday wasn't really a good day for me, it's been raining the whole time and flooding as usual. But now waking up and looking at the sky makes me think this is going to be a nice day. The sky is so bright today.

I could stay on bed until 4pm and then get up and get ready for school for my 5pm class. But I don't feel tired at all. I mean I had 10 hours of sleep, so that means I have a lot of energy for today. Maybe I do my laundry, but right now it is still cold and I'm not sure if I can wash clothes at this time. Also, I feel lazy for doing my laundry. My god, I really can't decide what I should do!

I haven't had breakfast yet. I want to eat pancake from Jollibee since I have some gift certificates here, still from my Valentine;s gift. I have enough certificates to eat Jollibee all week long, but I cannot keep up eating the same thing everyday. Well, final decision I'm going out and get some food from Jollibee. I hope everyone has a good day, or night, wherever you are, or what country you living in. Good luck!

Tanah Lot Temple in Bali

The Tanah Lot temple is one of the most visited temples in Bali, Indonesia. It is a tourist attraction since it is located on the western side of Bali inside the sea. Many painters and photographs have captured the beautiful sunset at the temple. I visited this temple on the last day of my Indonesia trip. And a picture can prove that I really had been there.

The Tanah Lot temple is one of the most famous temples in Bali. The only problem is that at high tide, you can't go inside the temple so easily. It was placed in the ocean and is surrounded by water, so you will get wet feet. The only way to get close to it is to remove your shoes and wear just short shorts if you don't want to get totally wet while going there. But then inside, you would need to wear a sarong again, as short shorts are not allowed.

I did not go inside. The photos I made outside the temple were good enough. There is also a small park nearby to spend time, and a couple of art markets on the streets to buy paintings. I wish I could buy paintings there, as everything was very beautiful and I am an art lover, but it was outside my budget and too difficult to transport to home. Anyway, I am happy to share with you guys that journey. I hope that those who plan to go to Bali don't miss to visit the Tanah Lot temple. And another thing, if you're going to visit Indonesia, better you do it in their best season, not in raining season.

Wheather and laundry again

When I have nothing better to write, I write about wheather and laundry. It looks like today we will get some sunshine. The skies look brighter than the past few days. So doing laundry is not a bad idea right now. I have so many dirty clothes to wash because I could not do laundry when it was raining all the time. I put my dirty clothes on a stack in the corner, and the stack was so high, it hurts my eyes just by looking at it. I am just one of those who don't like to have a lot of dirty clothes in a corner.

I begun washing my clothes one hour ago, glad now I am almost done. Keeping myself busy is just a good idea, as I don't want to think too much about what recently happened. I don't let anyone drag me down for nothing. Simple things like the sunny weather or the fact that my laundry is done can make me happy again.

Raining raining raining raining ...

Am I just so unlucky right now to be in this mess? All I can hear is this raining since I woke up. I don't think this is going to stop at all. It's raining so hard right now and the skies is so dark.

I heard from the radio that there is a low pressure area in Borongan, that could be the cause of this non-stop raining. From the window, I can see it is becoming windy. It looks nearly like a typhoon, even there isn't one. The weather is the same in Tacloban, I called my classmate earlier, and asked her if it's raining there. I will have problems going to my boarding again as it's probably flooded right now.

I hope this rainy season to stop as soon as possible, so that students do not skip classes. Honestly who would want to come to school with a weather like this. This happens almost everyday. So annoying, really! Such a burden to me, as I live far from school. I hope this raining will stop soon!

Sunday morning

Just got home from the church. It is Sunday morning here, so that means church day for us Christians. I admit I don't always attend mass, I rarely go. But I woke up early today, so I decided to go to church and it was good. The Weather seems fine today, the skies are cloudy. It didn't rain since earlier. I can feel the heat touches my skin. It's getting hot today. After washing laundry, so many clothes hanging outside to get dry. I think thick clothes easily get dry with this kind of weather. It is good, as I have my jeans washed, I hope everything gets dry before I leave. I don't like taking heavy wet clothes back to the city, as the clothes get smelly when they are not fully dry.

We all need this kind of sunny day here. Raining all the time is depressing. People here are more lazier when it is raining. They stay most of the time inside the house wasting their time waiting for better weather. So today is a good sunny day for us.

Nicer weather

The weather is getting better. Going back home from school without flooding all over the road makes me happy. The past few days, it was worse: I walked on the road with water up to my ankle, my shoes and jeans got wet and dirty. That time it keeped on raining. I was soaked when I reached my place. I had no way to dry my shoes, so I was devastated from what happened. I never liked when my jeans and shoes get so dirty.

Glad today the skies was bright and it didn't rain. But yesterday, when it was raining, I forgot taking my umbrella with me, that's why I got so wet. I'm glad I didn't catched cold from that night. Next time I will not forget to bring an umbrella. I'll make sure to always have it on my bag. But I hope the raining stops for this month, so that I will not have a problem going to school.

Cold night and rain

Just another cold night for me here. As usual, my fan is off. The Rain has not stopped since morning, the streets outside my place is already flooding from too much rains. I hope this stops tonight as I'd be going to school tomorrow. If this continues to rain, I might have a problem going to school tomorrow. I hate it when my shoes get too wet, since I will be sitting in school all day with wet feet.

Before I get to the cab and jeepney station, first I need to walk for about five minutes. From there I can ride to town. Normally, this short walk is no problem as I am used to it already. But when it is flooded, it's difficult to walk there with dry feet. Shoes also get very dirty in rain. I hate the rain, it can ruins my day so quickly. Rain itself is not so bad, when you have clean streets, but it depends on which road you walk. Mine is too dirty and too wet.

Unexpected laundry fairy

So last night I was going to do my laundy, I even prepared everything and I took my laundry outside my room and then I open the faucet so that I will have enough water to wash my clothes. And the rain had started, I waited for the rain to stop but it didn't. I was getting sleepy and so I decided to go to sleep.

In the morning I came to school around 10am and then came back home by 1pm. When I was about to open the gate, I noticed first, all my dirty clothes were hanging, I was shocked thinking who did my laundry? It didn't take long right after I got inside the front yard, the lady who is a relative of the boarding house owner approach me and told me she did the laundry as she seen it in the box outside. She even told me not to worry of anything. I was speechless but in the end I thanked her. I was thankful and I can't believed she would do my laundry. I was embarrassed but she does it without my notice so I leave it that way. 

Good morning

Good morning to those having their morning right now. It is 6:30am here in the Philippines, and everybody is on their daily morning routine. Having coffee and breakfast before heading to their jobs/schools. That's mostly happening right now. Everybody's busy since today is wednesday. Malls will not be crowded today.

It seems that it won't rain today, but I do not know later though. Last night it was raining so hard without stopping, but right at the moment it seems not. The clouds are bright. I hate going to school when it is raining, I'll get wet like a duck before I arrived at school and that is not good. I would catch a cold in wet clothes as my school is fully air conditioned. But lucky me, right now it is dry. So that's all. Let's drink Milo, I'm having a glass of it.

Typhoon Karen

It looks like the typhoon Karen is leaving the Philippines. But there is another one that might hit the Philippines. I hope it wont be as strong. This is not new: the Philippines are on the road of the typhoons, and often a big one comes whenever Christmas is near.

I am happy to know the typhoon Karen is not in my father's area and it didn't hit my place as well. We just had a lot of raining due to its season which is rainy season here. I hope no more typhoon or low pressure coming this year. It would not be a good Christmas gift for us if ever. I want to end this year without having worries about anything.
