Ondoy

Why is it that when a storm this strong will come, there isn't much warnings? I didn't even know that a storm was coming until Ondoy was already here. It's probably one of the reasons that the results were that bad. The Filipinos weren't prepared. So many were left homeless. Even the rich and famous couldn't do anything about it. Even they were stranded. Marikina was left flooded for days. People lived on their roofs. Motorists were stranded. Fields were flooded.
We're very lucky that we weren't affected so much. We should be thankful. We should help those who weren't as fortunate. There are many ways to help. You can donate canned goods, clothes, and other things that can help the typhoon victims. If you can't, simply praying for the victims can help a lot.

Sign in

Sometimes, I write down my blog entries on my notebook before publishing it because I don’t have the time to use the computer. That’s why my blog isn’t always updated. I update it maybe every two or three weeks.
Just a few days ago, I tried to update my blog. There was a problem. I couldn’t sign in. There was a problem in the page. It was an untrusted website. I can’t open the page to log in. I asked my sister about it and she said that it happened before already. It happened to her in facebook. She said it will be accessible eventually. However, it’s been so long already. I’m not sure if it will really fix itself. For now, I don’t post my blogs but I do write them down in MS Word. I’ll just post it as soon as I can.

Magic

This week, we finally confessed about the magic that we were doing. At first, I thought her reaction was so OA but later on, I realized that we deserved that punishment. Besides, it was just for one day. It was over on the next day. I think the punishment really affected us all.
When I was in elementary, I was different. I can't do the magic that I do now. If I do do it, I don't easily forget about it. I feel guilty when I do it. Now, I don't. Especially since I'm not the only one doing it, I don't have a problem with it. However, I don't think I go too far. There are still types of magic that I think is too much for me to do. I still feel guilty about that. I do only simple little things. But still, they're magic and I know that it's wrong.
Now that we're caught and almost everyone knows it, I think it made a big difference. I can't guarantee that all of us completely stopped doing it but I can say that all of us changed so much. It was lessened so much. I'm not even sure if it is still being done.

Saulog

Of all the buses I've been on, Saulog was the worst. I just hated it especially the older ones. I even remembering referring to it as something out of a horror movie. The colors of that bus were dark, the light was dim, and the cover of the seats were damaged. And when we rode there, it was night time already.
When I ride other buses, I feel relaxed but when on a Saulog, I'm always dizzy. Just today we rode on one. I already had a headache before riding but when I did, I felt so much worse. I tried to find a comfortable position so I could sleep or at least not feel dizzy. I tried leaning back but when I did, my head has to look up and that didn't make me feel so good. I tried leaning forward but I couldn't rest while holding that position so it didn't work, either. When I lied my head on my bag, it wasn't relaxing but it was good enough for me to sleep.
When I got out of the bus, I heard other people talking about how dizzy they all were. I guess it wasn't just me. I was quiet then and still feeling dizzy. I didn't want to talk because I wanted to throw up. Riding the tricycle, I did throw up.
At home, I went straight to the couch, lied there, watched some TV and eventually fell asleep.

Lunch

The school now requires us to eat lunch inside the school. Our only choice is to either eat at the canteen or in our room with packed lunches. Since I don’t like eating at our canteen that much, I just bring lunch. Besides, it’s fun that way because we have a greater variety of viands.
My point is that it has some of negative effects. One is that it takes so long to cook the food at home so I leave home late already. I almost never get to ride the school bus. I really want to ride there because I’m more comfortable there than on a jeepney. On the bus, I can sleep until we’re inside the school so I don’t have to worry about oversleeping and not being able to get off the jeep at the right place. The problem is, no matter how early I get ready to leave, I still have to wait for my mom to finish fixing my lunch. I really hate not getting to ride the bus. I blame it all on the new law. ^^
