Powerful adjective but that is how I could describe our
Philippine weather these days. Being a tropical country, Philippines have summer
and rainy seasons. For several days we
had warm weather and I was to blog about the sun shine. The other night it rained, last night it rained
real hard. Manila, Philippines is on storm signal number 1 as strong typhoon Ofel
visited some areas of the country for the past two days. Several air and sea commuters were stranded
as their planes and ships were not allowed to travel. Despite the dismay of
some passengers, authorities are careful for safety of all travellers.
The good news is, we will have fine weather over the weekend
and on All Saints Day. All Saints Day is a feast Filipinos observed yearly. We visit
our departed loved ones at their resting places offering candles and flowers.
To some they offer prayers. It is the time of the year when families gather
together. Memorial parks and cemeteries are on festive mood from the 30th
of October to the 2nd of November. I will visit my parents on the 31st
of October.
