Looking for a new table lamp
Andre is used to sleeping with the lights off. But, it is difficult for me to look around everytime I wake up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom because of my poor eyesight. We are thinking of buying a new light fixture to replace the damaged table lamp that was accidentally dropped by Andre. We will visit the nearest mall this weekend to take a look at some of their lampshades for our bedroom.
Typhoon Ondoy aftermath – Major house clean-up
It has been more than 1 week since Typhoon Ondoy hit us. It is one of the reasons why I wasn’t able to update my blog. Many people, including us, have been very busy cleaning up all the thick mud brought about by Typhoon Ondoy. It was only last Sunday that we were able to do the clean up. Abeth and I did a major house clean up to remove mud from the floor tiles, couch, windows, walls, sinks, and doors. We have to dispose of our couch because it is very dirty and it smells bad. We have also disposed some stuff submerged in mud. The cleaning was miserable because water supply wasn’t available until yesterday. During times like these people realize the importance of water and the importance of conserving water. People learn to recycle water. I hope people will continue to conserve water even if there is no calamity like this.
Another typhoon
I won’t be reporting to the office tomorrow because I am afraid of being stranded due to the Super Typhoon Pepeng. According to PAGASA, the typhoon is expected to make landfall in Aurora-Isabela by Saturday afternoon. But, as of this moment (12AM Oct.2), PAGASA announced that Aurora is now under Signal #2. In preparation to the typhoon, many people, including us, went to the grocery to buy foods, including breads, canned goods, noodles, candles, batteries, and emergency lamp. Since I won’t be reporting to the office tomorrow, I will be very busy cleaning up the mess in our house left by the previous typhoon. I will also help my in-laws to clean their house and help them elevate their furniture and appliances in preparation to the typhoon – another alternative workout that won’t require me to take the best diet pills anymore. We’re glad that my husband was able to borrow one of their company-trucks to deliver water in our area because there is still no water-supply in our area due to the damaged pump station. We also shared the water with our neighbors for them to be able to clean their house.
It’s time for me to sleep na because tomorrow is a very busy day. Let’s all pray for everyone’s safety. God bless us all!
