Metro Manila Today: State of the Nation Addressed Re: Our Liquid Assets

Oh boy!   It's 8:24 am MLA time and the rains have been cascading non-stop since early this morning. As a matter of fact, we have been issued a Red Alert Warning by the NDRRMC (National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council) for the current weather conditions. That means that we are experiencing severe, extreme and excessive weather and that we are advised to stay home as classes in private schools as well as attendances in government offices have been cancelled. And I thought the Orange Alert yesterday was already intense as I was scrambling to get home from the gym at 10 am when there was a sudden downpour, to try to avoid our subdivision's accumulation of creek water possibly resulting in a mini street flood and my car being stranded in traffic. Yikes! 😱 Anyway, this present scenario, a quick look at the local news and me being stranded at home now has given me time to think and blog about it...for what's a girl to do? The streets of Manila right now inundated...

  J une brings showers, flowers and beauty all around us. The name means youth from Latin juvenis , young people.

Two of them really are for children, IF and Garfield...and I loved them both.  I thought Garfield won't be a disappointment to watch for its cuteness based on the books but when we were introduced to Vic his estranged father  (spoiler alert) , we all saw a cuter fatter cat than Garfield himself, the ultimate lazy fat sarcastic cat. Never mind the storyline at first I thought. The 3D animation and wisecracks were good enough to grab our collective attention, adults and children alike especially if you're already familiar with the strip. Now if I wanted more immersion, maybe I'll plan on watching it again next week as I missed on the nitty-gritty of the criminal world they find themselves embroiled in not that any of it is complicated.

I have no more platform left to vent out my feelings for the ☘️ month 🌼 and days that just passed and will come, except this one☝️so forget about my artworks for a while. Let’s just do some serious blogging. May is my birthday month. 20 is my birthday and on Monday the 20th of May this year, I will turn 60 and a Senior Citizen of the world as a matter of fact! 🍃I’m trying to figure how this one goes but just like I said, it’s just a matter of fact. 🍁 I don’t feel any different or special or even older except that I’ve accepted the days that keep marching by to be days that lead to substance, days that count, days that lead to acceptance and productivity…to happiness, fulfilment and all gaining momentum for me to become a better me; 🌞 things that were so alien to me just a couple of years ago 🐦‍🔥. Whatever this means, I feel a lot more whole than when I was   oh , 30?  💥 I try to do what I can to maintain a level of happiness that no one else can give me, not my family ...
