1. It's been raining like insane these past few days and, as our place is flood-prone, I've been sleeping very late since I want to know when and if the water will enter our house, and I want to alert everyone once it happens. The water was in our garage from Sunday until last night, and thankfully when I woke up this morning it was gone. I'm kinda worried though since there's another typhoon in our country supposedly coming in today :\

2. I've been playing Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep non-stop since Friday. This helps me with my worries about the flood, plus it's super fun! I've been dying to play a new RPG since I finished FFXIII ages ago, and this was perfect. It's also been the reason I haven't been online that often, except for consulting walkthroughs - both my Tumblr and Plurk feel neglected already. I tried playing Dissidia before this one but I don't like it that much.

3. I start working on July 1! I kinda doubt I'll be able to save since the pay is a bit low, but I'm hoping it will open new possibilities for me in the future, be it in the same company or in the same field. I'm planning on sleeping a lot before I start, though! Sleeping and generally being lazy all around :P

4. Mom's leaving for the States on July 10, in time for my sister's giving birth! July's going to be a very interesting month for my family.

5. I reserved both Susan Pevensie and Emily Charlton at DDD but I don't think I can app any of them :( Oh, well. I'll see what my work schedule will be like, and then make a decision if I want to app a fourth character or not.

The flooding does not sound like fun at all.

Sleeping and generally being lazy all around sounds like a good plan. :)

It isn't. It's such a nuisance and though I've accepted the fact that I live with the possibility, it's really not something I want to happen again. Ever.

And yes! I'm in love with my plan.

I would hate having to worry about that; kind of like living in tornado-land in the US. Hope all goes well.

Yes, exactly. The comparison made me think, though - tornadoes are way, way worse than floods.

I guess that depends; if it's "just" flooding, but not so deep that you can't still walk through it easily to get out, then I guess, maybe. I'm not a very good judge of that though, since I've never experienced either.

Lucky you! I haven't experienced a tornado yet, but from what I've seen it seems more destructive? I don't know. The worst flood I've experienced was when the water was waist high and it wasn't as destructive as it was a nuisance. Cleaning after it was a bitch.

There's destructive and there's destructive, I guess. I mean, yes, the water would cause a lot of houses etc to be filled (if only partly) with water, and cause problems that way, but I guess it's easier to clean up and protect against (if you live somewhere where there's a lot) than for a tornado, which just takes everything in its path. I guess also one would have "more time" to protect against a flood, because even if quickly, it takes a while for the water to rise so as long as it sticks to manageable levels, you can just put your stuff up on high and they'd be safe (as long as inside) whereas with a tornado, even if you do know it's coming in advance, it's more of an "get the hell out!" or "just get the food and the kids and hide out in the bunker" or something...

That's very true. I'd probably choose floods as the lesser evil.

"Lucky" then that it's floods and not tornadoes you have to worry about.

All things considered, yes.

Stay safe! Hope nothing serious happens. Will be praying :)
