a day of the storm 071310

TUESDAY: training day 2. like yesterday, i woke up early morning for our training in my work. this day we met a new trainer, clarice. she's nice, pretty and very good at what she teaches, the english language.

well, like any other traning sessions, the whole day was dedicated to training, specially about the english language. there were no particular new things that happened during this day. the only thing i can take note of is the storm that came at night. when i went home form work, i was almost about to rain. it was drizzling on my way home. there's no problem going home from work since i only take a tricycle and a jeepney.

it already rained went i was exactly at our door step. phew, thank God! :D anyway, i did the usual things i do when im free, chill out, surf the net and even check fb. all of a sudden, the lights went out. there was a power outage across town. then when i looked at the window, it was a lil bit raining until a strong gust hit our windows. it was so strong that it can be heard whooshing across. in spite the darkness, i wrapped up my things for tomorrow.

now, when i was about to sleep, another strong gust whooshed in. i was shocked with it because it blew away things on top our cabinet. it also blew my gunpla collections on top of it as well. i got a lil frustrated because of it since one of my collections broke when the wind blew in. i immediately fixed it even though it w so dark and i had to rely on my tiny flashlight.

since the wind was continuously blowing in, i removed my collection from the top of our cabinet and moved it to a lower place where they can't be blown away anymore. i was having a hard time sleeping as well. the strong wind is now blowing in the rain and its making my bed and cabinet, wet. tough i was already sleeping that time, i stood up and tried to close the window so i won't get wet.

the whole experience was a normal situation around here specially when storms come in. the only difference this storm has is its wind. normal storms usually carry a lot of rain.

now, i would like to stress out the importance of being a responsive person. when the lights went out, i didn't react. i just thought of the things i need to do or i can do in the dark. plus, another major point here, i didn't complain at all. i didn't get upset because there was no electricity, nor it was dark. i just did what i think i need to do with the things being blown off.

some people would normally scream out when they experience power outage. they are usually reacting to the situation and they also complain why is it happening. they are focused on the thing that already happened, and not on the things that they can do on that specific situation.

my dear readers, respond intelligently and don't react emotionally. if your emotions get a hold of you, you won't be able to resolve your problems. take time to respond, strategize, and assess the situation.

this is the wisdom i give form today. until tom. :D
