Rainy Season

Yup, summer here in the Philippines is officially over. And what's next? Of course, the rainy season. I could say most of the people here are longing for this season, (except me, I hate rain!) since we had been in the scorching heat of the sun on summer.

But rainy season comes up with negative stuff, like the flood! And with flood, a lot of diseases are attached on it. Like bacterias are in the flood and when people go directly to the flood without using any protection, bacterias could enter into their bodies and would result to some certain diseases.

Well, the main cause of flooding? The garbage! Most of the major drainage here are not functioning because they are full of garbage! I could say it is one of our country's major problems. Nope, I wont talk anything against the community here, about who is liable and anything. Just wanna be safe on my thoughts :)

Well, rain is not just about floods and diseases, it has also a good thing. It helps run the electricity. The water that would be collected from the rain will be using to help run the electricity, and sooner, the electric bills will be lessen, which is a good news to households earning quite little. As preparation for the rainy season, families here are now starting fixing their roofs with leaks, clearing their drainage and buying new umbrellas and other rain protections.

Also in this season, school starts. Most of the schools here are starting their classes tomorrow, June 4. Good thing at my school, our classes will start on June 12, but still bad because of the rain. Plus, inevitable traffic is now everywhere!

Let's just hope that typhoons that will be hitting our country are not as strong as the last two that struck us weeks or a month before the year 2006 had ended. I remember with those typhoons, a lot of giant billboards and big trees around Metro Manila and in the provinces fell down. Also, there was a nationwide blackout. It was really a disaster. Oh, not to mention the huge number of deaths and missing person. Of course, flood was a part of those typhoons. Aww, *sigh* I remember the late Miss Julia Campbell, she had also experienced those typhoons when she was still here in the Philippines living :(
Hope those kinds of calamities will not happen again :(

"It's just one more day,

No one said there would be rain again.

Wont blame it on myself,

I'll blame it on the weatherman"
