Rain rain go away :(

Some pictures of the rain here in the Philippines. 

From the car at night:

And the office windows:

Today is the first day of sunshine in a long time.  We're all hoping the electricity holds.  We've been having blackouts for a few days now.  They said it would continue til Monday.  So far so good.

The northern part of the country is now in distress.  Landslides everywhere hinder rescue teams and relief operations to get through to the victims. 

Please pray for our country.  We hope that the people in power or have it will now rethink the environment and all the calamity needs so that next time we're all at least ready. 

Rainy rainy day

Had a great night last night. Saw a lot of my friends in the scene and even ended up singing with them for the jamming that happened after. I didn't go into work today, since it's a holiday. I figure I can just make up my absence on Monday by going in on Saturday. I like going in on Saturdays anyway, there's no one there and you can get stuff done...or just play games.

Then again, I've a lot of things to do at home on Saturday...BUT! I can always do them later. And the flat won't be too messy since the weekly cleaning lady will be coming in on Friday. That will give me time to work on my story instead, and maybe even buy the materials I need for my painting/s (not sure if there will be more than one just yet). Then I have a dinner with friends on that evening. FANTASTIC! Osso bucco! :)

For now, I've just finished off putting the groceries away and more or less figured out what dinner is....SOOOOO I may as well just get a nap in.

See you tomorrow!

PS. It just started up raining all over again with a wonderful breeze. This will be the best nap ever!!!!
