So it's been raining non-stop for two weeks already so a lot of streets have been flooded. This is the scene every time there's a typhoon hitting the Philippines.
When I was a child, I loved the rainy season because it means suspension of classes. It's the best news for me because I really hate going to school on a very stormy weather. But when I stepped college, I kinda hated it a bit already because most of the time, college classes were not suspended, and it's really hard to transfer from one building to another inside the campus. And now that I'm in the working group (well right now, I haven't got a new job yet, but I will soon), I hated it even more because it's really not motivating to drag myself to office or somewhere I have to go to. Actually, even if you have a car, it doesn't help that much because heavy rains create heavy traffic.
Oh, and I remember hating living in a typhoon country when I was in Boracay just last summer, wherein half of my month's stay there was filled with heavy rain. I hated walking on wet sand (or should I say, muddy sand? haha) while shopping or going to the party places. Well, I kinda appreciated some light rain and quite strong winds when I was there because it allowed me to swim while riding huge waves, without getting painful sunburn. haha! But believe me, I got sick there during the times that it was sunny at daytime and stormy at night time.
Anyway, I'm posting this because I failed to attend a few appointments today because I wasn't motivated to get out of the house due to heavy rain. Oh, I must say, I appreciate typhoons when they allow me to sleep very well. I love sleeping on rainy days. haha!
Well I don't have plans of going out yet since I find the weather very unstable now, but let's see what the weather's gonna be tomorrow. Look at how a weather report goes:
