Day 203 - Clouds on the Mountain

Rain has always given me mixed emotions. On the one hand, it ruins your time at the beach, but on the other, it gives you scenery like this. So I can't say that our second day in Virac was totally ruined, even though we didn't get to swim in the beach and got scared about landslides while we were driving on the side of a mountain because, look! Isn't it so pretty?

Day 202 - Storm Central Outlet

Today I went to Virac, Catanduanes with my parents. Upon arriving at Twin Rock Beach Resort and settling in our room, I found out that the electrical outlets are on the ceiling. We asked the reason to the people who worked there but they didn't know either so I can only assume that it's because Virac is usually affected by typhoons and that it's better to have electrical outlets in high places.

BTW, just to plug in my ipod speakers, I had to tiptoe on a coffee table, which was scary. We later on decided to borrow an extension cord from the front office.

Day 201 - Valentine Love

No boyfriend/girlfriend to give a Valentine's Day card to? Fear not! National Bookstore is equipped with Valentine's Day greeting cards for friends and family as well. Because some people insist that this day is not just about romantic love but love in general, greeting card companies have met their need and made cards for everyone. I'm not sure if the book store aptly labelled those cards, though. I mean, it says "Valentine Friend" and "Valentine Relative" for the cards for friends and family, but for cards for significant others, it says "Valentine Love". But, I thought "valentine love" referred to love in general and not just love between significant others?

Day 200 - Desk Closed

This won't mean anything to anybody else, but it means a lot to me to finally be able to close my desk. Because, it has spent several years looking like this.

Today, I finished cleaning it so I was able to close it. That's right. I wasn't able to clean it in just one day. I even had to sleep in my someone else's room last night before because I hadn't finished fixing the stuff I temporarily placed on my bed. Lucky my brother's in another country. I should finish fixing my whole room before he comes back.

P.S. Today is my sister's birthday. Happy Birthday Ate!

Day 199 - And More Mess

Remember my messy desk?

Well, today I decided to partially fix it. Partial, meaning, it's just the tip of the iceberg of the mess in my room. As my sister said, "Parang sumuka ng kalat 'yung mga gamit." Doesn't that have a kind of poetry to it?

Anyway, this is a picture of the stuff that I temporarily placed on the bed while cleaning my desk.
