Rainy September 26 Saturday

I woke up to a quite rainy day. Well, it had been raining since last night and truthfully I don’t want to remember that it’s raining because it only makes me remember that somebody stole my Fibrella folding umbrella. Yep. Someone stole it. I left it by the garage of my boarding house last Wednesday night to dry and when I woke up the next morning it’s gone!
I was actually pissed because I thought someone (pardon my accusations) from my housemates used it. That was probably the most expensive umbrella I have ever bought and I only bought it because of its design – it donned cat prints. And here is what’s left of it.

You see I have 4 umbrellas – a folding one which I bring everywhere I go, just in case, you know, it rains (I’m always prepared), a mini kid umbrella which I keep in the office, a medium-sized one which is not actually mine but a friend’s . She lent it to me when it suddenly rained when I visited her because I didn’t have my folding umbrella then yet (I should return it when we see each other again) and a giant one – a give-away from Unionbank – which I normally use for super, heavy, typhoon rainy days. I use my folding umbrella for uncalled, unexpected rainfall and when it’s raining very hard I leave it at home and use the giant one instead (OC-ness.lol). I hate losing stuff (because I am very careful with my things) so you don’t know how pissed off I am when I couldn’t find my umbrella. What’s mind-boggling is how was it gone? Did someone enter our gate and took it? And of all the umbrellas there why is it have to be mine? WAH! That’s my favorite umbrella! (yes, because it had cat prints.LOL).

The umbrella didn’t come out this morning when I asked my landlady. Even if I want to, I can’t do anything about it. So instead of stressing myself on it, may the one who took my umbrella be dry and safe from the rain. He/She probably took it because she can’t afford to buy one so I’ll just pretend that I gave it to her/him as a gift. If anyone sees another one like it, do inform me so I can buy again. LOL. I hope I can find another one with the same design. * sigh. So, for today, I brought the giant one since it is raining hard as there is a typhoon according to the news.

Honestly speaking, I do not have any idea what is happening outside of the office anymore. I just hear it from people I talk to and my friends. Sounds weird? Yeah. I don’t get a chance to watch TV anymore or listen to the radio - I don’t even know what TV is anymore! LOL. I am inside the office most of the time and just go out when it’s time to go home. Of course in the office, there is no TV and what we often hear are pre-recorded volumes of company jingle and soundtracks played a million times within the day. I think I’ve learned to subconsciously not listen to it anymore. When I reach home, I go directly to sleep. That’s all. LOL. That’s how life for me is now – work & home. Nothing much to do and spend my time with.

So I just learned that there is a typhoon today because everybody is talking about it. I don’t really mind. I live near my workplace. Just one bus ride away. And if I need to walk in flood, it’s okay - I wear slippers to work. LOL. As I’ve said, I’m OC and I am, most of the time, prepared. Hehe.

A friend of mine actually texted me – it’s Saturday and you’re in the mall? I said yes. I work Saturdays and I work for a mall. So that probably answers most of the questions - malls operate 7 days a week and even holidays. Again, I don’t really mind. I’d rather have work than be a bum because I hate idle moments. Besides I love what I’m doing and I have no other things to do and spend my time with – yet. Hehe.

Everybody’s quite uneasy, as the rain, they said, hasn’t stopped since last night (I’m not sure though). And there are news of areas flooded already. My boss actually said to me that after we finish doing what we needed to do for his meeting on Tuesday, I go home already because it would be hard to catch a ride. Hehe. Well, HR hasn’t announced anything yet if ever we go home early today, would it be credited as full day? I heard it would be undertime which would be quite unfair because it wasn’t our fault there is a typhoon. Hmph!

Anyways, my boss suddenly gave me a bar of chocolate Crunch before leaving – nomnomnom. I dunno why but Thank You sir! I love chocolates!

for the kid in you

My boss left already and said he will TRY to get home. He also gave me permission to leave early. How nice! But I don’t think I’ll be able to get home anyway since I heard the vehicles aren’t moving. So instead of getting wet, I’ll just stay here a bit. Much safer. That’s why I started blogging instead. I don’t want to start doing anything since I wouldn’t be able to finish it anyway. Oh well. I’ll go out for a while and see what’s happening. LOL. Break time!

♥ PS.
My boss called me a while ago telling me to go home already since the weather is so bad. (Sweet huh? Hehe). He told me to text him when I get home. My co-workers said how lucky I am I can go home already (and how nice my boss is. hehe). But even if I go now, would I be able to get home? I also need to fetch my 2 friends because I told them to stay with me for tonight. Their house had been flooded and they needed to evacuate for a while. The water in their house is by the waist already. Gosh! I hope the typhoon passes and that it doesn't cause too much trouble and damage. Stay Safe everyone!
