Be Prepared All The Time

It's currently raining here but am quite allergic to the sound of rain pours. Can't help it. More than a week after our place was hit by typhoon Sendong (washi) that claimed a lot of lives and left many people homeless, I just can't sit and relax right now hearing the sound of the rain. Thinking about of a mother whose 3 out of 4 kids died of drowning made my spine shiver. Hearing what my in-laws went thru over and over again made my more vigilant especially at night time. I think I was also traumatized with their experience. How much more if I was also involve? Gosh, time to let this go off my mind.

I'm sleepy at 4 o'clock in the afternoon but I will not rest. I don't want to close my eyes until this rain subsides. I know this is just part of a low pressure area, but I can't trust our weather bureau these days. I still think it's best to be prepared at all times.
