no classes...chilly weather...and a cup of hot chocolate
|
there's a storm brewing and all are inside their homes, wearing jackets and watching tv. classes have been suspended and my sister is sooo happy that she refused to go back to sleep, opting to make most of her impromptu free time by watching cartoons at 6:00 a.m. and my brother is probably on the way back to manila, his retreat cut short because of the storm.
it might be a joyous occasion for most of us, having classes suspended and having the chance to lay around and be idle but the moment you turn on the news, you see the other side of the coin. it's really sad that there are a lot of families who doesn't have their houses anymore because of the strong winds and rain, its awful to think that they're in some evacuation area, with no extra clothes, the children shivering and hungry...
makes me thankful that i am safe here in our apartment, cramped as it may be, with my family. although i often complain and rant about the things i don't have, i still am grateful for what i DO have.
so there.
while sipping my hot chocolate and thinking of the storm, i say a quiet prayer thanking the heavens for everything i have...
