Bad Time for Laundry

My laundry will not get dry because of this heavy rain. I wasn't expecting that the weather would turned out this way. If I knew it would stay raining, then I wouldn't have washed my dirty clothes. I should have waited another day. Well, it's not that I don't have clothes to wear anymore, I'm just not happy that my clothes won't get dry in one day. I think I will go back to the city with an empty bag because I have no clothes to bring back with me tomorrow.

Maybe there will be no classes in management tomorrow since we just had our pre-finals. I will have to confirm first, so that I don't need to come back if not needed. It's just too cold right now, I feel the need to cover up myself with my blanket. I wish there is bonfire here, then I can just sit beside and warm up myself.

Relationship drama in the province

Donnabelle lived in the same Brgy. as I do. Yesterday she got killed by her own boyfriend because of jealousy. She was killed in Tacloban around 10am yesterday. She was stabbed 12 times all over her body. The boyfriend tried to kill himself as well. He tried to stab himself after realizing what he had done to his Girlfriend. He was found lying beside his girlfriend's lifeless body. But he was still alive when they found him and brought to the nearby hospital.

I can't believe what has happened to her. She and her brother are the only family members left since their parents died in Typhoon Yolanda. Now her brother is all alone. This is sad. I hope the guy who killed her will pay for the crime he did for the rest of his life. It was a cruel relationship drama.

Donnabelle, I hope you can rest in peace!

My first oil painting

I finally finished my first oil painting. As you can see on the picture the size of the painting is tiny, but it took me one day to paint it. I could have done it in half a day, but I needed a break in the middle as my back was hurting.

Okay, since it is my first oil painting, it is painted by numbers. I did not invent this motive myself. You might see that the butterfly on the left side is not properly painted. It was really hard to apply the paint on every line of that butterfly. But it's the only part that went bad. I think the remaining of the painting is ok. The painting would be perfect if I had painted the butterfly correctly.

My experience with oil painting: it is fairly difficult even all I did was to apply paint on every number. That's why painting oil is called the highest art of painting. It is even more difficult to invent the motive while painting with oil. But after I finished painting, I started to appreciate my work. I don't mind painting more in the future. It was fun, and I will always love the outcome of my work no matter what.

Pre-finals are done

Thanks God! The pre-finals are over for me. I'm done with all exams. I feel so relieved now. It was a lot of stress, but it's over! Although I haven't figured out whether I failed or not this time. Our teachers didn't discuss our scores yet. I think by next week they will tell us the results.

One exam done, the next is coming soon. Next, I am worried about the finals. I have to do my best just so I can pass both subjects. Finals are the most important exams in a semester. If you failed in your previous examination, you can still make it up with better results in the finals, so you will be able to balance your failed exams. I don't want to lose hope. I know I won't have the best grades because this semester's subjects are difficult, but I hope I will pass, so that I don't have to repeat the semester again. I'm already 24. I think it is best if I finished by the age of 25.  Although it doesn't matter how old you are in school, I just feel the need to finish college next year. I don't want to get old studying forever.

Travel and Birthday

Exciting times are coming. Soon is semeter break and I am going to travel again. I can't wait for that day to come. I'm just so excited. I will visit 3 countries this time. This is certainly an expensive travel, but luckily all the expenses are paid for me already. The travel is organized by a kindhearted person I've known for years already. If it wasn't for him I wouldn't be able to experience all the good things I'm experiencing now. I'm forever grateful for everything he has done for me.

But before I travel, I will have my birthday first, this end of the month. I'm not sure what to do on my birthday, although I've promised my family and friends from Samar that I will have a little party. That means eating on the beach, some drinks (including a bit of alcohol) and enjoying the view of Panay Beach. Party is no fun without aclohol! I think I can no longer break the promise I've made. So, this is now the plan for my birthday.

Good Day

Good morning! I just woke up from a very long sleep. I didn't have much sleep the other night, but now I am fully recharged. I feel so much better than the previous morning. I hope everyone is having a good time enjoying this beautiful day.

Christmas is coming. The Christmas time in the Philippines starts in September. People around here are playing Christmas songs already. I think they can't wait for Christmas day to come. Honestly, it sounds good to hear Christmas songs these days. I wonder what my Christmas would be like?  I hope I'm in Samar on Christmas day, because I want to celebrate Christmas and New Year's eve with my family.

Anyway, I hope everyone has a good day! Have a blessed day you all!

Scary experience of my brother

My brother called me the other day. He told me what had happened to him down in the deep ocean while fishing. He passed out while he was under the deep water. He felt like his surroundings went all dark. Two guys that work with him saved him. They told him that he wasn't opening his eyes, he looked dead already. They brought him out of the water and that was how he got back to his sense.

I was so scared when he was telling me the whole story. We might now get along sometimes, but I love my brother. I never want him to be in that situation ever again. My brother's job as a fishermen is difficult. He dives deep in the ocean all of the time. He has been doing this job for years now. My brother is used to this job, but accidents can happen anytime. I just hope this will never happen to him again. I told him to always be careful whenever he goes fishing.
