The fire that I was talking about yesterday is still burning and the firefighters haven't managed to control it yet. The main roads near the fire are closed for safety reasons and everyone is doing their best to stop it from spreading more. Today, I can actually see the flames from my window, so I took a picture with my mobile phone to show you what I can see. It's not very clear because it's still far away on the mountain but you can see the smoke. The atmosphere smells like smoke though and I am going to stay inside today. I really wish it would to rain to stop the fire from spreading more.

It is sad that the weather these days is so bad. There are people praying that the rain to stop in Filipines and here is your country praying for rain to stop the fire. This is nature, I am very sad seeing people suffering. I hope the fire goes off soon. good day

Thank you! wow, the climate is so different between the countries! I would be really happy if a sudden rain started but this is not very likely to happen because we have a heat wave here and it's too hot. It's also very windy witch make the situation even worst.
