The News Make My Heart Sink

I have not been watching the news lately because I feel too much negativity on the content. I think the good news that they air is not even two percent of the whole thing. But today, there is something that tells me to change channels, from Disney Junior to ABS-CBN.

I was preparing the girls for clean-up time when the news about flood in Bulacan showed up. I feel pain in my chest and tears in my eyes. These people have nothing to eat, no clean water to drink and are wet! How on Earth did the flood happen?! And why the hell it is not yet subsiding considering that Pedring is already out?!

I showed the news to Ayex hoping she will be able to absorb what I am telling her. She just took a few spoonfuls for supper and said she was full. Then asked for her Bake ‘n Churn ice cream that she requested after ballet. It was quite a disappointment. I hate it when people waste food because not everyone, like these people, always eat three square meals a day and there was I, giving up because I cannot argue with Ayex about food anymore.

To typhoon Quiel, can you just miraculously disappear?

Titanium Jewelries

I have a thing with jewelries. I have a secret goal to invest in a few pieces and hopefully pass them to my kids when they are older and know the value of them. Well, that is not a secret anymore now.

When we go to the malls now, I always pass by jewelry shops if they are along our way. I check their collection and of course, the discounted items. I noticed that titanium pendants are becoming popular. Each shop that I entered now has a few display in the shelf. I am now thinking if I should include one in my goals list. What do you say?

Pedring Out, Quiel Coming In

So a day has passed and everything was a bit better yesterday. At least in our side of the Metro. Our friend who live in places that were flooded were able to go online already so say they are ok but are still cleaning up the mess Pedring brought them.

Today, the sun is out and I really hope the clothes we washed yesterday will get dried because Quiel has entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility. This name rings a bell because it is my former boss’ nickname. Quiel, my boss, is a kind person, in fact, very people-person. I hope Quiel, the typhoon, will be like that too and makes no damage in the already damaged places. I heard in the news that we are talking about billions of destructed rice fields.
