A gloomy Thursday to all from this side of the earth. As the news evolve around the approaching super-typhoon, my neighbors are also busy securing the roofs of their houses. We do not want to experience the same last 2016 with the devastation of the super-typhoon Lawin which brought the whole province to more or less than 2 months total blackout.
I was doing my evaluation for my students when my sister reminded me that I have to check her pension in the bank and at the same time withdraw some for her maintenance medications. I therefore went to the city at 10:30 AM and arrived home at 11:25 AM. i will continue with the grades this afternoon.
We are good now;there is no word war between us, and I am glad about the calm atmosphere at home.
Although I am tired because I walked from the bank to the terminal parking area of tricycles bound here in my locality, I am not showing it to my sister because if I show my exhaustion, the more she shows her exhaustion too. Hahaha! She is just seated watching TV.
All for the love, I am doing the errands for her.

no, she takes care of me. i take care of her too. but i know what to do when i feel any symptoms of my ailment. she is just hyper- when she feels something.
as what my big brother says, "she (i) know what to do because she (i) am a nurse".

i am also lucky to have her because she stays at home with us, as she is the self-designated caretaker of our ancestral house.

@ridingbet Faint not to hear, ignore her. She talks because she knows that this irks you.

@ridingbet the footage on the news was so disturbing to see, I can't imagine being part of that, Ingrid. I hope you and your loved ones are safe and sound.

thank you. the storm is extending its winds and rains here now, but it is not as strong as last 2016 as of yet. the eye of the typhoon might come tomorrow at dawn and this is what we are hoping against.

@bluesa during the night when the typhoon was in my city, we felt the earth really shake. i was thinking the most horrible that our house might be blown away, or if the ceilings will be flown away.

It is worth making some concessions for the sake of the people we love, and that will bring peace.

i agree with you. it won't be nice at all if i meet her anger with my outburst. there has to be one with a calm mind and emotions.

That's what loving sister is for. There is harmony in your home and I can feel the sweet music from you. Gloomy now, take care there. Charge you mobile phones and laptop.
