flood



Today, I woke up hearing my Nanay and Tatay mumbling about the waters. Since it's been raining all night-- I thought that the creek adjacent to us overflowed. And listening a little bit more.. I heard my Father asking my Nanay to get the mop. So I get out of bed and see for myself the yuckie truth… the creek did overflowed and it's threatening to enter our home. In fact there were some leakage already. So I put my hair on a pony tail and started the work.. I woke my sister up for assistance.. Thereafter, I was in position and I was able to hold the water out for a while. But I know that a few minutes more and the water would break in. When it was obvious that it was futile to fight the darn waters.. we surrendered. But only for a while.. then the rain stopped.

It's not usual for our place to get flooded.. someone from the other barangay… shut us out! Darn that man!!

After 4 hours of cleaning.. we're back to normal! Thank GOD!! Today's happening just reaffirmed my hatred toward the rain!! Haaaay!! Back to review classes tomorrow! Hehehe!! Been so tardy lately.. tsk!
