Boredom, Typhoon, and Work Over the Weekend

The title almost sums it up. Since last Wednesday, it's been raining here because of a typhoon. Too bad that I had to still work while I hear other people rejoicing -- especially the kids -- because they didn't have to go to school. In addition to the envy that I felt, the typhoon decided to pour so much water that it flooded my street up to the knees with brown, rushing water. Stuck and imprisoned inside my own house, I felt so bored, and so, the Devil's workshop started ticking, bringing me these wonderful Facebook status messages:

It takes an iron will to just sit still, confident in your own righteousness.

The last five steps of the journey cannot be rushed. A traveller still needs to ignore the blisters on his feet, and he still needs to overcome the fear of cramping up when he is so close to the destination. Can anyone lend the traveller a hand and cook some bacon, waft the smell of honey-cured meat so that the weary traveller can look forward to a hearty meal after a long, tiring journey?

When the lonely traveller is gets stabbed by a thorn, he walks faster because he knows that the rose he is looking for tells him that he is on the right track.

The flood, oh, the flood! The overabundance of water makes deep, burried feelings bob on the surface.

It was a good thing that the flood subsided early Sunday morning. Otherwise, I would have flooded my Facebook account with nonsensical sentiments. How are you all doing, Philippines?
