{
out of the dark ages}
after five days of of literally living in the dark, we finally got electricity back yesterday. i cannot describe the feeling i got when my dad sent me a text message saying the aforementioned yesterday shortly after lunch. i was suddenly excited to go back home and re-acquaint myself with the blessings and privileges of electricity and the modern life. seriously, i am thankful for these conveniences. i cannot even begin to imagine what life was like pre-electricity. i think i spent the last few days hopping from one coffee shop to the other and spending way too much money on over-priced drinks and wi-fi. though it was all worth it, i think for a few hours reprieve.
i know, i know, i sound like a brat. i really wouldn't have minded the power outage if not for the fact that i have a TON to study and i'm asthmatic and since the weather's been skewy lately, i've had trouble breathing like a normal person. believe you me, it hasn't been fun. compounded is the fact that i've been weepy and sniffly lately. by-products of the asthma, most likely.
i know i've been ranting and complaining about the typhoon (you should see our patio roof, or lack thereof) and the inclement weather but i also realized these past few days that there is still so much to be grateful for. my sleepless nights and asthma attacks are nothing i'm sure compared to those who lost their homes and some even their lives. makes you realize that there's still a lot to be thankful for. many of which are those we have the tendency to take for granted.

Don't want to shrink in a suit
Don't want live just to suck someones bones dry
I'd rather die."
