A week of monsoon rains and flooding

Tweet

It's been a week of heavy monsoon rains here in the western part of Luzon. I feel so sorry for the cities and provinces that are still dealing with floods and for the people who remain in evacuation centers. We are safe where we are and able to go out, though on-site classes remain suspended. We've been having more rains than usual given that it's a year of El Nino and we've got like 3 weather systems right now pulling the monsoon rains. It's been quite cold, too, and I'm seriously loving it (if not for the floods that paralyze many commuters). Tomorrow, Friday, is a public non-working holiday. We're expecting better weather too. I will probably go to a supermarket to stock up on essentials. More typhoons will come, for sure. Best to be prepared. I'll be prepping my simple lunch after posting this. I heated some leftover chicken afritada (chicken stewed in tomato sauce) and made a new batch of steamed rice. Daughter #2 is still having online classes while Daughter #1 is asleep after a heavy breakfast of omelet and rice. I should be waking her up for her 12:30 pm class. See you all in a bit.
