Project Runway: Clean-up Day at Golden Mile (part 1)

 If there was one lesson learned from the great flood, it’s that we are all in the same boat.

----------

Yesterday, we had a “mini” reunion – it was Clean-up Day at Golden Mile – Ondoy’s aftermath party. LOL. It was among those that had been flooded during the typhoon last September 26 and two of my friends live there. I used to live there but thanks to divine intervention, I don’t anymore. LOL. It was the house of my *insert cuss here.LOL * ex-boyfriend who is at the moment in the other end of the world lecturing people on how to be responsible. *pukes.LOL.

When I learned that the house had been flooded, I said, “Shit, all my other stuff are there. And most probably they had been affected.” Gawd. I do not know what to expect. But as they have said, expect the unexpected.LOL.

The subdivision looked like its celebrating a fiesta – a laundry fiesta. There were lots of makeshift clothes lines and clothes were all hung to dry. I can’t imagine that this place had been submerged under muddy water up to neckline. That is why people are making up doing laundry - A LOT of laundry because most probably ALL had been wet during the typhoon. Even though it had been a week already, you can see that people have not caught up cleaning and disposing of junk and they have not fully gotten over what has had happened.

But despite the tragedy, we were thankful that we were all okay, safe and alive. We all agreed to help Tina and Vance clean up so that they may, finally be able to move out. It was just a shame that Ondoy caught up with them, making it much more harder.

We all arrived in working clothes ready to be wet and muddy – Jyas, Mark, Tina & Vance plus Vance’s mom and dad. Tina’s brother and Raffy was also there to help. Project Runway. Sexy models cleaning challenge. LOL. A little after we came, Atty. Morales’ relatives also came to help clean-up.

The mud has dried up and that made it a little more difficult to remove. The walls have traces of mud, the house smelled rotten and everything was just plain destroyed by the flooding. The appliances and furniture were ruined. Clothes were all soaked up so Tina had to wash them all.

I had lots of stuff there. I mean, most of my stuff are still in that house, kept in the library until when I am able to get them which I was planning this coming October. But after this, it made me realize a lot of things – that they are all just material things I do not necessarily need. Actually, if it hadn’t been for Tina and Vance, if they hadn’t been living there at the moment, I would have abandoned everything already when the house had been flooded and would never return to that place anymore. I wouldn’t see the point and it will be just a waste of my time anyway. But I guess, God has certain ways on showing you what you should realize and I contemplate that this is one of those moments.

There were a lot of waste and it was regretfully sad to throw away things you have bought and worked for. I actually lost all my books (huhu), my thesis (gosh), my pictures (wah! Baby pics that have no more copies *sob, my grad pic – I’ve paid for this so expensively.grrr ). Actually during the typhoon, when Vance called me up telling me that the water is continuously rising and that he couldn’t save all my things, I said, it’s okay because I was confident enough that I’ve OC-ingly arranged it well. But alas, I had been wrong because apparently nature was more adept than me (hayz). I rummaged through boxes of my things trying to look for specific items I want to take home with me. I’ve given up on my clothes I’ve kept in plastic containers because water still seeped in and it smelled like canal because the water had been there for almost a week already. Although, it can still be recovered through rigorous washing, I opted to give them away rather than exert more effort for it. Besides, those are the clothes I rarely wear anymore so it doesn’t really hold anything for me especially now that I don’t have time to wear casual clothes because I’m in uniform six times a week. LOL. Basically, I’ve given everything up to Tina – I gave it ALL to her – and told her that she can think of it as a “wedding gift”. LOL. Although, I took smaller stuff that I still want and could take home to my new boarding house.

I was just thankful enough that I was able to get my MOST important stuffs even before this happened - my documents (birth certificates, diplomas, etc.), clothes that I like, my bedsheet collection (which I can still put up if ever I decide to hold a garage sale.LOL), my favorite shoes (my boots!~whew.) I am sad though, I’ve lost my book collection (oh well, I can still buy and I might find them in book sales and thrift shop so no worries).

I have realized that my things are the only ones keeping me attached to that place and now I have completely let go. LOL. I am already okay with how I am living right now, enjoying it and if ever I want to start over, I can always do it if I want to. I can always buy new stuff if ever I plan to get a new place for myself. It came to me that sometimes, in order to move forward, we should just learn to let go because sometimes the weight is keeping us from reaching higher grounds. And I have proven this already.

I am also happy to see my friends again (Jyas, Mark I missed you! Liezl – MIA! Akira and Shiro still alive!) and this is another event that probably has made our friendships a bit tighter and closer. Although, I know this is just a minute part of things that we are still to face and endure, it feels like the good old times (less one.LOL).

This is just part one. The Project Runway Clean-up Party will be continued next Sunday. It’s a shame we did not have any cameras to take pictures yesterday. LOL. Maybe next week. We’ll see.

----------

mood: back aches from all that washing and scrubbing and laundry.

I need a break! I’m starving!

Gawd. My eyes are spinning already and I can feel my brains turning into liquid. Wah! I need a break! I’m starving!

I was having a hard time thinking of what I wanted to eat. I'm not that picky and I would almost eat anything. I'm craving for something but I don't really know what. LOL. Anyway, I just decided to grab something from my drawer's stock of relief goods (haha. because sometimes I get lazy going out) and tried Payless Pancit Canton instead of the normal Lucky Me Pancit Canton that I buy. I saw it in the supermarket andthought of trying how it tastes. And truthfully, I find it better than LM (or maybe I am just sooo used to LM’s taste that’s why PL seemed different. Hmmm…) There’s nothing better than office-cooked meal. Itadekimasu!

UP Diliman Fun Shoot 08.30.09

In relation to my previous post (actually this is the pre-quel of it), we had a fun shoot in UP Diliman last August 30 with my cosplay friend Kat Escolar and her photog friend Marlene Hsu. It was Kat's idea because as she had blogged about it, her boyfriend was requesting for photos of her. And since Mars was here to visit, she scheduled a photoshoot and just invited me.

I'm no model (I'm not that pretty to be one. nyahaha). I just like pictures and dressing up , i guess. I'm a photo enthusiast also and as most people describe me, uber kikay and partly narcissistic. LOL. And since I'm into cosplay right now, maybe I just wanted to have fun and grab the oppurtunity to have good pictures while there's an oppurtunity for it.

It was a fun shoot. At first we were thinking of a theme and I thought I wanted to use those items I have bought from a thrift shop. Yup, ukay-ukay in short. And lately, I am in the knack of acquiring animal-printed pieces. LOL. (I love cats so it also applies to big ones such as lions, tigers, jaguars and leopards. Hehe.) I have a fur coat and a silk skirt, which I turned into a dress instead (Ingenuity.hehe). I'm creative and people have complimented my ability to pick out interesting and quite good stuff from the thrift shop which doesn't really look it came from there. I guess, it also helps that I have a weird sense about fashion and that most people wouldn't really have the guts to wear those kind of stuff (which is actually much better for me because then I wouldn't have too much competition around). I often ask people how much they think stuff that I wear cost and they're quite amaze when I tell them and where I got them. I normally roam around the Metro and go in ukayans I pass by just to see if there's anything that would entice me to buy. What I often look for in thrift shops are:

(1) jackets - I LOVE jackets! All my jackets and coats come from UK;

(2) skirts - I LOVE skirts! It's my staple wear. I don't wear jeans too much - only in special occassions.haha. (Shouldn't it be the other way around? LOL). I don't know. I'm just more comfortable in skirts - not that I also have the legs to boot - woot! That is why I really liked our uniform because it's skirt. I'd rather wear skirts than slacks for office; and

(3) boots - I LOVE boots! (did you just notice that I had the same reactions for all 3 items?LOL.) - I've always loved shoes and I don't really care if the Philippines is a tropical country. When there's an oppurtunity to wear boots I wear them. I normally use them during gimiks and other parties and often, people have complimented me for wearing one. Although, boots are now growing in popularity and more and more people are wearing them nowadays. hehe.

Anyways, I've deviated from the subject of this blog (nyahahaha) and most probably I would just have to write another entry about my fashion preferences. Haha. In the end, we just decided to bring anything and everything we can. LOL.

And voila! Here are some of the photos that Mars has already given us.

More photos can be found HERE or HERE.

CCF 25th Anniversary

This is already an uuuuuubbbbbeeeeerrrrr late post. But I still wanted to blog about it because it's one of my memorable experiences for 2009.

----------

Date: August 30, 2009
Location: Araneta Coliseum


It was CCF’s 25th Anniversary and I have decided to attend. And it had been a great experience all in all.



CCF.

Anniversary.

25th.

Araneta Coliseum.

17,000 capacity.

2 services.

Kuh Ledesma.

Gary V.

Music.

Worship.

Testimonials.

Scripture.

Glory.

Honor.

God.


I was happy to have attended. Though it would have been better if those that I had invited were able to come with me so I could have shared the experience with them.

I had been almost discouraged to go after seeing the long line of people waiting to go inside the coliseum. It was free but a ticket is to be given so you can go inside. But something told me to stay. So I went to find the end of the line, which looked as if it would take you forever to get inside. It was hot and I was carrying loads of stuff because I came from a photoshoot earlier in UP Diliman (Again, I will tell the story in another blog). I wanted water. I wanted aircon. But I stood firm and waited. And after a couple of minutes, I was inside. That had been fast.

Araneta Coliseum. Audience capacity of 17,000. And out of that thousand, I am one of them. It was overwhelming to be part of such a huge celebration.

It was like a free concert. Kuh Ledesma was there. She sang “Above All” and was a very touching rendition. Later on Gary V. was there for his “Take me out of the Dark” – very inspiring. Then there were two testimonials. I’ve heard Ivan Tan’s testimonial before in St. Francis and it’s one of those stories that make you shake your head from left to right out of rue yet make your hair stand to its end out of piety. Truly, he had a life-changing experience and he serve as a living inspiration to all. And it was a well-deserved testimonial to be featured for the church anniversary.

I am no devout and I admit that. I had my backslides, my indifference and shortcomings when it comes to my faith but I do not forget. I may not have surrendered everything yet to Him but I am getting there, slowly, a step at a time and through His guidance. He has never forsaken me and I have always known that. I do not want to be called a hypocrite or a Pharisee. I am a sinner yet He has blessed me and saved me.

I have much to thank Him for. And He knows what is inside my heart. My imperfections and failures are as much a blessing from Him as my successes and my talents and I lay them both at his feet. May He use me and guide me for his purpose. I have a long journey ahead of me and I shall rely on his light to see my path. May all the glory be His – my God and my savior.

Happy Anniversary CCF!

♫ PS. I am posting one song which I really like. I really love the lyrics. It goes well to the change that has happened to my life this year. Everything has been really different. Enjoy.

mood: excited. for tomorrow's CCF service.

Picture Perfect Feature 07.21.09

I was narcissistically testing Google Images for search results that would come out when I key in my name "izabel cortez" and I chanced upon Mr. Raffy Paredes' photo among the results. Sir Raffy is a column writer for Manila Bulletin's Picture Perfect and so I remembered that I was once featured in his column last July 21, 2009.

The photo that they published was one of the photos I took when I was in Boracay last year.

You may read the full article HERE and you may check the other photos at my Multiply and in Flickr.

UH Cosplay Stint (09.22.09)

Along with fellow cosplayers, we went to an invitation to cosplay for Unang Hirit in GMA 7 last September 22. I went in as Nami of One Piece. I was with my Luffy, Jameer Olimpo and other Cosplay High members.

with Arn-Arn

Even if our Sanji, Art Ryan, was not around, we still had his presence because Jameer and I made a small One Piece paraphernalia table by the reception area. LOL.

You may view the video in my Multiply as I have posted it in a much more previous blog. It’s just guesting. We were just there to cosplay. LOL.

You may also check out my photostream in Flickr to see our pictures as we cosplayed One Piece. Enjoy!

34th Branch Anniversary

Last  September 22, we celebrated SM Makati’s 34th anniversary. And I am very much happy to be part of it.

I designed the stage backdrop. I was also the designer for the branch anniversary shirt. I was the creative photographer. And I was the fashion adviser for one candidate who apparently won the contest. LOL. People here are now recognizing me as me – the weird girl who is into graphics, photography , cosplay, ukay-ukay and all the kakikayanan there is to be.

It had been a long day actually because my Tuesday started at 4am when we had to go to GMA 7’s Unang Hirit for a cosplay stint. Lol. I was with my friends and we had fun. (I’ll discuss this in another blog.) Anyway, after UH, I was dropped off in Ayala and I literally had to run even if I knew there is no point because I was 20 minutes late already. T_T. Uh-oh, there goes my record. Oh well. Just once. LOL.

The day had an exuberant feeling and everybody was excited for the upcoming program. For this year, they decided to make the theme “Hot Momma’s” wherein they featured employees who were 50 & above to be candidates for the beauty pageant. Yup. 50 & above. (Don’t be surprised because stability-wise, SM would really make you stay).

Incorporated in the program was the awarding of employees for their dedication & loyalty. Counting from 5 years up to 25 years. Whoa! That long? Yup. That long. You will be amazed when you get a chance to see these people because you will see in their eyes that they really love their job. And somehow, it would make you admire them more.

There was also a short endearing moment during the awarding when those who have availed of the ERP (Early Retirement Program) were called and given recognition. It’s a sad moment. The awardees were a bit teary-eyed because they will be leaving the company they have given their life to. You can still see the passion in their eyes, how they loved their job, how they cared for the people they have worked with and that alone is enough to touch a heart. You will also see how their co-workers loved them and would truly miss them after. They have contributed well to the success of the branch and of the company and it was truly appropriate that they be given proper recognition for their hard work & perseverance.

Anyway, after the awarding, the main event – that everybody was waiting for – was up. Hot Momma’s in the house! LOL. It was a fun event because the candidates were game. They had a sports wear category, talent portion, evening gown competition and of course a question & answer portion. I just watched until the talent portion as I had to come down every now & then because after all, there was still work to do. LOL. The candidate I lent my clothes to won! Yay! She had been ever thankful to me and called me and my so-called kikay stuff lucky. Haha. She won 10,000 pesos just by strutting. Hehe.

There was food (OVERFLOWING), a lot of photo ops and just pure fun even if at the same time everybody was on duty. That’s one way to celebrate the hardwork that everybody has pitched in for the branch. (Okay, I pigged out and now I’m on crash diet T_T.lol.) I am very happy and thankful to be part of it. I found a second home and a family. Who would have thought I would end up here?

Here are a few more photos during the event. The rest will be uploaded in my Facebook, Multiply & probably Flickr so do check it out.

mood: yay! i designed that shirt y'all! weee! 

What do I look for in a Guy?

When people ask me if I am in a relationship right now and I tell them no they normally ask me “why not?” and I answer back “why not, why not?”


Is it a requirement to be in a relationship? I don’t know but people seemed surprised I’m not in one. Well, I HAD BEEN but not anymore. LOL. And I don’t think I will be in the next couple of, err… years.

Yep. I am single and I am wholefully embracing it. Hurray for freedom!

I am not really in a hurry, which people find surprising. They often tell me I should get married because time is running (you know – the race against the so-called biological clock). But I’ve always had this perception on life – whatever comes then that’s it - If it comes, thank God. If not, then still, thank God. After all, He knows what is best for me. And whatever plans he has for me, so be it. He has reasons and I won’t question it anymore because as I have experienced they are often blessings in disguise.

My last relationship (not that I had many), ended up quite bad – very. As I’ve said before in one of my previous blogs from my Multiply, it was like one of those bad endings from a B-movie that makes you go “Huh? WTF just happened? That’s it? What a total waste of my money!” after watching it.

It was a 3-year relationship and truthfully I do not remember anything about it anymore. All I know is that I am more than happy to be where I am right now.

For people who are interested to know the story, I can write the whole damn thing here but what’s the point anyway? It’s done and finished. I’ve moved on. Besides, I’m sure every now & then it will be a point of reference. I haven’t written blogs in such a long time and now they’re pouring out like waterfalls from my brain. LOL. But if you’re insistent, you can find some entries I’ve written during the break-up in my Multiply and if you want I can send you the email trail of the documentary. LOL.

Anyways, I’ve always gotten questions on what do I look for in a guy. Well, normally guys ask me this – those that are obviously phishing for information. C’mon! I wish they use better strategies. Sheesh.

But, for the benefit of fun, here, I’m giving the generally vague list of what I do look for in a guy.

1. Must be a good conversationalist. I talk a lot. Because I have a lot of interests. And because I find myself interested in almost everything. So I need someone I can carry a good conversation with. Please don’t use too much cheesy and lame pick-up lines. It doesn’t really work on me. Lol.

2. Must have a good sense of humor (at least). I laugh a lot and I am a relatively happy person. And I make fun on almost anything I can find. We all need to be happy so we can forget all our worries. If you’re stuck up then sorry, we won’t work. I want someone who knows how to laugh and be silly at a point. I think it’s important that sometimes, we can turn the sad things in life into happy ones.

3. Have good principles in life. Well, I know I have so most probably I want someone who has too. They should be able to stand by what they believe in. As the saying goes, walk the talk. Someone should have goals in life, things they want to achieve in their lifetime. And somehow, they should try to reach it.

4. Knows how to be like a man and act like one. Well, it’s self-explanatory. Of course I would like someone who I can depend on. If I’m much stronger and I’m the one who’ll carry the relationship then I don’t need extra baggage in my life. I have a lot to deal with already so if the guy is just going to be a burden, then never mind.

5. Be yourself. Well, I think the most important thing is how a person looks at himself. He should be confident enough but not cocky. Has a better self-esteem for him. I don’t mind imperfections because no one is perfect and I don’t want a perfect guy. But there should be room for change and compromise.

It’s actually hard to enumerate what qualities I look for in a guy. Some say that there should be “magic”, “spark” and all the other electrical impulses that go through our bodies and mind. But as I have said, I’m not in a hurry. And I don’t mind really. I would rather prefer companionship right now. Friends. And again, I leave it all up to Him.

So, if you think you qualify with the above requirements then send me your resume and let’s see what happens. LOL.

PS. Since I started a list of what I look for in a guy, maybe I should also enumerate what I don’t like. Now that would be fun because I’m sure it’ll be much easier. LOL.

mood:  pissed. The printer is not doing what it’s supposed to be doing - which is printing. Grrr.

The Typhoon that was Ondoy

It was scary. It was depressing. It was a tragedy I don’t think anyone can forget.


Last September 26, Typhoon Ondoy hit Metro Manila and made it into a big swimming pool – with mud, vehicles, houses and people that seem like floaters in the water. It was not a very lovely picture. No one was spared – no one was poor nor rich – everyone was equally whipped by nature’s wrath. Nobody was prepared. No one expected it to be like this.

The sad images of the destruction brought by the typhoon actually kept repeating in my mind. I really couldn’t imagine that this has happened.

The events had been so fast and didn’t allow people to react. At a moment, it seemed like it was just the regular heavy rainfall but suddenly, places started to flood and that is when reality began to sink in – that this is no ordinary heavy rainfall.

People started to panic and worry for their loved ones who were in the areas that shouldered most of the disaster. In our office, some didn’t even get to go home.

I live in Guadalupe now. But I used to live in Cainta, by the boundaries of Marikina & Cainta. And I couldn’t imagine how or what would I have done if I had been caught there. Again, I reflect and I tell myself, yes, it had been a blessing that I was able to get out of the reasons that tie me to that place. I was once again reminded that there was a reason behind the events that happened last March. And this was one of it.

Unfortunately, some of my friends had to experience the tragedy. But thank God they are safe now. They got out of time and it was a relief to know that they are okay.

My relatives also live in Cainta – my grandma, my mom, my three brothers, my aunt and my cousins. I had my share of paranoia when I didn’t have any news about them. I had been trying to contact them but phones are dead. I just prayed that they were okay and safe and alive.

So far, they were and again, I praise God for it. I only wish I can say this to all those people who had been affected. Many have lost their loved ones and some have even witnessed it before their very eyes.

Perhaps the next reality that everybody would be facing, especially those who have lost their homes, their livelihoods, their family members and friends is how would they start over? Where and how are they going to start living again?

It seems hard. It’s painful. It seems impossible. But the bible tells us,

"Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid or tremble at them, for the LORD your God is the one who goes with you. He will not fail you or forsake you."– Deuteronomy 31:6

Let us all have faith in Him. Let us pray and keep on believing in Him. Where there is life there is still hope. We should all try to help each other recover what had been lost and try to rebuild what had been destroyed. Now is the time to care and act.

I don’t want to post any video of the tragedy here. I think everybody has had their fill of watching it over and over again on TV, in the internet and other video devices. I know I did. I can't take them out of my head. And I think everybody is aware of what has transpired the past two days. Instead of spending our time replaying the events, let us try to think of ways on how we can reach out and help our fellow citizens. I believe that is where we should all start – start helping the others start over.

----------

mood: I am symphatizing to those who had been affected by Ondoy. My prayers go to all of you.

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.

the umbrella cover

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.

my pink hoodie

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

nomnomnom

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!
