Rain Rain Rain…
Posted under: Gloomy Saturday morning! Waking up to the cold breeze and wet pitter-patter of rain was always a great thing for me. I loved staying in bed, curling up with pillows (I have 7 pillows!) and a warm blanket. I used to long for those days where I would just lie in bed almost the entire day and watch movies or tv series that you never seem to want to end. The coldness of the day and the relative lack of sunshine just telling your body to stay in bed and get some of that much needed sleep. Ah those were the days.
But that was just selfish of me. What about the people outside who have to work? I’ve had my fair share of having to go to work in the strong monsoon rains and believe you me, it wasn’t pretty. Or what about the countless number of people who don’t have proper shelter and have to fend off being damp and at the same time not having enough bodily nutrients to keep them from getting sick? In the words of Happy Slip: “Disaster! tsk tsk tsk”
I guess what brought about this concern of mine was the non-stop rain and the endless number of people ranting about how wasted the weekend is because of it. I know this is not the place to be all high and mighty, but it just made me think.
Maybe I’ll just curl up in bed and nap for the rest of the day!
edit:
Ok now its much more serious than I thought. Some people are stranded. Other are leaving their homes. Here’s a video by Abe Olandres outside of his house in Makati!
