It was a cloudy wednesday today on this side of the planet. Early this morning, around 7:30, the electricity was off. All the planned activities today, specially using the computer had to be changed.
It sure was different than the past few days in the house. No music or tv was heard. It was a time to hear only the chirping of the birds, the sound of motor vehicles passing in the main road once in a while. It was a time to treasure silence.
I did some tending of the vegetable garden yesterday. There have been some yellow and brown leaves on the sayote vines already. I wasn’t able to remove them as much as I can regularly because of the unpredictable rainshowers.
I was almost done with the pruning when …swooosh!… a sudden pain was felt on my left arm. About two inches of a bloody red line was beginning to show. I later discovered that I got scratched by a wire which was protruded along the trellis. Luckily, I guess my platelets are very active that the blood clotted immediately. Thank God for platelets!!! But it’s still best to be extra careful with pointed things. =)
It’s another day for blogging lessons again! (Thanks Mai!)
As I was trying on the manage field on my site, I happen to see the photo I loaded before. I wanted to post it and tell a story about it. As I tried to copy it and put it here on the post, I had a server error!!
Being new to this blogging thing, I panicked loosing my page. Good thing it took only a minute to recover. Whew!! That’s life. Its really part of learning the a-b-c’s. =)

Not tagging anyone specifically, but anyone can join in the fun! 
I got busy these past few days. I wasn’t able to write or check on my blog. Wow! there have been other visitors!! Thanks mai, liza, imelda, arthritis treatment(thanks for the info! =) ) …and to those who did visit! Thank you!!
Just be patient with me. I’m still learning the ropes here: how to tag, how to add links, make blogroll, etc… I’m so thankful there’s my sis-in-law & bro, patiently teaching me (they have been my frequent visitors before). Heaven’s blessings just like my readers! Thanks to all of you!!
I like writing. It has been my dream to become a good writer. That’s why I’m so thankful for this chance to give my mind a voice. The Bible did say, “The works of God are all of them good; in its own time every need is supplied.-Sirach 39:16″ ‘Guess its time to fulfill the dream… Right now, my mind is singing that song, (don’t know the exact lyrics and the singer, but it goes something like this), “fields of green,…red roses too,… and I sing to myself, what a wonderful world…”
Last weekend, we experienced a terrible typhoon. It left many damages to different places. Here in the house, it’s minimal but the cleaning part takes a lot of time & energy.
When I decided to clear up the back of the house this morning, I thought it would take about half an hour only. Because it had been cemented, I thought I’ll just sweep up the dry leaves, dirt and dust. However, I was not satisfied to see the cemented lot turning green because of the moss beginning to grow here and there. So, I grabbed the brush, got a pail and dipper and started brushing.
Whew!!! The planned 30 minutes cleaning took me 4 hours to finish! As I went along cleaning only a part of the backyard, I ended up cleaning the adjoining area here, the canal there… (because of the mud that had accumulated there clogging the drainage). Arrrrgh!!!… Now, at the end of the day, my hands feel bad (arthritis making a dash!), my back aches, …haaaaaaay!.
Good thing, the weather was sunny today. During the afternoon, my consolation was seeing the cemented part of the backyard, clean and neat as before. Well, after the rains, there’s pain… but surely, the gain is a great feeling! =)
The sun showed up this morning with a smile, greeting everyone with its radiant rays. Just like how a line from a popular song goes, “there’s a rainbow after the rain…”, the week opens with a warm greeting on this side of the planet.
However, the heavy downpour on the past weekend according to the news updates have left many in some parts of the country without shelter and basic necessities. Let us all share what we can whenever possible, starting with prayers for their safety. Filipinos are resilient. We can rebuild. We just have to lend a hand to help them start over. Let us participate in the call for help from our local churches or other organizations. Even if we can only give a little amount or in kind, there would be some brother or sister who can benefit from it. Isn’t it in giving that we receive more of the gifts that cannot be bought in any store? …Have a great week ahead! =)

It’s sunday and we were not able to attend mass in church this morning. The typhoon signal is now #3. It’s a good thing there are Holy masses televised.
Right after lunch, we discovered that the basement was filled with water again. The rain have seeped through the cracks on the floor. I don’t know how to fix it so it’s back to the dry rag-wet rag wiping for now. I hope I can later find a D-I-Y site to find a way to solve this. It’s like being in a small boat with holes. =)
