Hubby's voice woke me up this morning he was talking to our daughter he was a bit mad. But I still pretend to be sleeping in the bed. I woke up early and cooked food for the kids. But I didn't notice that I fell asleep again. My kids didn't bother to wake me up because they already know what to do. Last night the rain passed by with lightning and thunder. We we're supposed to be sleeping soundly but it wasn't that way. The more rain pour the more worries we have. And probably you're asking why?
So let me introduce you my city:
I was born in Manila but I continued my schooling in the province of Bulacan. For some complicated reasons and meet the man who told me stay at his paradise. Year 2006 we graduated high school then he got me pregnant with four lovely kids. Now we have a graduating student @katsuki29 the eldest Grade 12 taking up GAS or General Academic Strand. Next is two boys grade 8 and grade 3. And the youngest that will celebrate it's fifth birthday this month Ria, our bundle of joy.
I grew up in the city then suddenly I need to trained myself in the province. The building that I usually visit to shop was suddenly turned into trees that bear fruits. That was totally amazing because there were no trees on our place. From our house to school I only walk, cross the road and thats it. I see only clouds, few plants in the pot and I ignore them. But we have a small garden at home my grandmother love her plants so much. She watered it using the water from what she used to wash our rice. She told it was more healthy for the plants. She also said that plants are a good listener when it comes to our problems. I saw her talking to them, my mom and aunties also love plants and nature.
This flower and plant is from my aunts garden. I remember this hibiscus flower, me and my friend you stole this. The owner will caught and yell at us. But now its just one call away.
This is my hometown now I stayed here for 21 years.
This is where me and hubby graduated high school. And now our kids are also studying there. You can see a fisherman, we catch fish for a living. Before my husband got his stable Job on Manila he was a farmer and a fisherman. While my mom works in the office for a living. My dad died early I don't any siblings that I count through.
Before, I used to travel on wide roads, but now I'm happy to see a narrow road without flooding. That's the disadvantage of living in this kind of place. When rainy season comes the water goes high and when the dams reach it's maximum level they have no choice but to release it's excess water.
What I loved in this place is the air, its not polluted. The fish and other water creatures are also fresh. Sometimes when we have a lot of spare I sell it in the barrio. There so many things we should be proud of all we need is hard work and courage. At the end of the day I always wait for an amazing sunset to come.
Thank you so much for reading

Hmm, hope you will try GoFund Me, so you can contruct a 3 storey house so even if the water reaches the 1st floor you are still safe ond the 2nd and 3rd floor.
Yes po ate @jurich60 thank you so much po
I am always in awe with all your beautiful sunsets and sunrises there at your water world dear. I find your place very uniquely situated but you have unparalleled blessings, imaging having fresh fish, shrimps, crabs for free!! You just have to catch them of course but you know, you have abundance of them no need to buy. You are blessed.
Thank you so much for the wonderful words po my beautiful friend ate @aideleijoie 😍.
I love the photos of sunrises and sunsets in your water world. There is beauty around but maybe consider also your safety specially during the rainy season.
Thank you so much ma'am @luvinlyf for dropping. Yes ma'am that's the complicated thing that makes the situation harder
