20-Minute Warning I

Start time: 6:35pm.

So, what can I share in under 20 minutes?

Heavy rain has almost reigned in the metro for the past several days, and that makes me nervous because it reminds me of Typhoon Ondoy and the monstrous flood it brought to our country. The flood control situation improved somewhat when a new, better administration took over the city, but our place is a bit lower than the main street, so the heavy rain still brings foot-level floods at worst. It also doesn’t help that people keep throwing garbage everywhere, especially in the drainage. Come on.

Because of the intense weather, I had to cancel a hangout with a friend I haven’t seen since our high school graduation. While the cancellation hurts a bit, I don’t want my friend and me to get stranded outside our homes. We can just reschedule on any other day this month.

Speaking of schedules, I’m pretty excited about my December plan because the most crucial part of it is about to start, and it’s only August! I just need to clear out one important detail before my cohort on that plan can get the ball rolling.

I’m pretty ominous about December, huh? That’s the point.

And my 20 minutes are almost up. See you in the next post.

End time: 6:54pm.
