Warning: short story.
Sorry for not being active for a while.Â
In case you're watching international news, you might have seen a glimpse of the monsoon that caused a lot of damage and flooding here in the Philippines. I was living in one of the most affected areas. The flood did entered our house but it didn't get high enough to reach our appliances. We were quite prepared that time since we are also about to transfer to another house. The new house is a few blocks away but it's in a much much more elevated place. We have to transfer due to the flooding conditions, business and house problems we had in our previous home.
We've lost our phone and internet connection ever since the monsoon occur, I'm only using the broadband sim of my ipad as of the moment.
Many are asking, "how's your 18th birthday?" lol
Well we got flooded. We spend most of the days packaging, carrying heavy objects, getting all sweaty and covered with dust and dirt; not the usual celebration and relaxation I get and imagine.
Maybe it's not the best birthday, but I won't say that it's that bad. We can finally relax a little, now that we've transfered in a higher and a little far from the main road apartment, though it is much, much smaller.Â
There are still a lot of things to clean and fix, but the rooms are almost done. The computers and appliances are already assembled, we're only waiting for the cable and wi-fi to be processed.
Also, my sister and her co-worker, which we already consider as a member of the family, came from Singapore to spend two weeks with us and celebrate my birthday, we receive too much from them. I receive an ipad and a camera with much more features than the one I lost last Christmas o(^â–½^)o
She also took care of all the expenses for the trucks we used, the prepaid rent for the new house, and much, much more. And after all that, she still gave my mom money to spend and also gave me some for my birthday, even though i already have an ipad and camera. Her co-worker also give me a little too.
But even though they've done so much. Luck wasn't on their side when they we're about to return to Singapore. They left their bag with the plane ticket at home. And although i was able to get a taxi and got to the airport within an hour (not the usual two hours coz we asked the driver to drive fast), they were no longer allowed to get in. We arrived there at 8:50 pm and they should already be inside by 8:45.They booked another flight with the price times three, schedule is 7 am in the morning. We got home at 12 or 1 am, they reduced their baggage, woke up 3-4 am and left at 5 am.Â
Then at a text we received, the airlines they took had an airplane problem so their flight is move at 10 pm. Since the airlines is an international one, the airlines didn't want to take responsibility and let their passengers rest and in some hotel. They only did when one passenger reported it to the news authority. My sister and her co-worker got in to the hotel at 11 am and leave at 1 pm. She was very depressed and frustrated with all the delays. After everything she did for us, this is the last thing that we would want for her (T . T)
Our days are turning back to normal now. I'm now able to focus and study a little here in my room. Worrying about deadlines and school, finding ways to earn.Â
I won't be able to use the internet as much as use to until the wifi is done, but until then, i'll be sure to check my account as much as possible daily for notes and other messages in my org's office ^^

Hello there. Sorry for the long hiatus, again. Since I feel so guilty on making all my commissioners wait for a long time, I decided to use watercolor in almost the commissions left pending. I want to practice using watercolors anyway so I think I might as well do it in my commissions.
While still working on it, I'll be spamming you guys with doodles and artworks. Sorry guys ~orzplz (https://www.deviantart.com/orzplz)

I wasn't able to balance all the pressure I have with my studies, orgs, family, friends and most especially work. I never thought I'd be failing a subject again after swearing I'll be doing my best. I guess I got fed up with the stress my family and s
