Rainy days means flood days

Its rainy days now here in the city and just what everybody expects FLOOD :( . Every time a bad weather or just an ordinary rain drops here in our place, expect FLOOD happens and whats next? a bunch of traffic all over the city streets. I really don't know why this flood problem is still not resolve by the local authorities, I've been into some cities although I admit there are still flood but not totally as what I had experience here in our place.

There are also flood happens in our rural place before but not as dirty as what I've seen here. But there's nothing I can do but to accept the situation and try to adopt on it. If only there are enough opportunities in our rural place, I prefer that our family will stays there but sad to say their is no enough job available especially on rural areas. That's the main reason why people from the rural are came here in the metro to look for a job or opportunities for there family.

According to the local authorities they were planning some solutions to solve the flood problems but still there ideas are not enough. Flood always happens every time a rain cames and I just hope someday a solutions will came up. Rural blogger out for now!!!

My GrandMa Visits Me

I was surprise the other day when my grandmother visits me in our house. She was came from out province in Mindanao, she's look more older now unlike before I live in the province were she only had few white hair :D . I was so happy to see her and I immediately open the gate, I make a "mano" to her as a sign of respect.

She then embrace me and said "you seems to older now" probably because when I leave our native homeland I was just only 21 years old and now I'm on my early thirties :) . We had a great talk and she inform me that my parents wants me to visit our native homeland in Mindanao, I my plans is working pretty well now that I will make a surprise visit to Mindanao by next year :D Oppppps!!! that's a big SECRET :) .

I do really missed my native homeland, my rural life where I was grown up. I just hope my plans will push thru next year and that is to go for a vacation in our homeland. Well, my grandma will stay here in the city until January next year. I notice that she has an Alzheimer's already that she needs to be accompanied by my aunt, Right now she's stay with my aunt house in within the city proper nearby. To be honest I'm so excited to take my vacation next year, hope there will be no problem that will affect my vacation plans. Rural Blogger Out For Now!!!

slow internet connection

I haven't made any post for almost 3 days due to sluggish internet connection. I tried to call a technical support from my Internet Service Provider to ask for any feedbacks on why our internet connection was too slow. But they just give me some nonsense answer or they just don't wanna admit that the problem was on there side. The internet connection was pretty bad that time, it's like a roller coaster ride sometimes you got a high speed then it drops into low connection. Imagine having a 512 kbps connection in just a matter of minutes it will drop to 6.6 kbps. 

I called them again and finally they admit that the problem was on there side. They told me that our connection is being monitored by there technical team and they experienced a network problem in our area. It came into my mind that some Internet Service Providers are not honest with there clients or maybe they just protecting there business. But it would be too unfair for clients like us who is hopping that they will give us the right answer. I know there is no stable networks even large Internet Service Providers encountered this kind of problem what I don't like is that they've lied and tried to insist that everything is fine at there side.

Internet connection was finally restore the day after and all I can say is that they solve the problem in a very long period. I just hope that our connection will be stable.

Always check your gas regulator

We were able to bought a new refill gas tank to our gas stove yesterday and I was surprise that the price of a new refill tank drops :) . That was a great news for us who use gas for cooking. After a few minutes the gas tank was delivered to us and the delivery boy tries to instal it in our gas stove but the gas leaks, I was to scared on what things might happen. He tries to install it again but the same thing happens and he suggest that we should change our regulator cause it was already deficted. 

My in-laws told him that we bought that regulator for a couple of months and how come it was damage to early. The delivery boy explain to us that some gas regulator usually damage to early depends on the manufacturer or maybe it came to the time that we need to change it. And besides who want to gamble or using a deficted regulator that may cause a huge damage to your property. Lots of fire related cases are cause by gas tank leak explosion due to a deficted gas regulator and we don't want those thing happen to us. So we decided to bought a new gas tank regulator and the delivery boy install it to our gas stove, after the installation there was no gas leak happens and the delivery boy was right our gas regulator has a defict. 

We should always be aware on our gas regulator, I highly suggest that you should check your gas regulator once a month or every time you bought a new gas tank, try to us a gas technician on the current status on your gas regulator whether you have to replace it or not. I remember during my rural days that we don't use gas tank for cooking instead we use woods for cooking so no gas leaks to worry. But using wood for cooking here in the urban area is time consuming and we all know time here in rural area runs fast, every minute is very important.

Meet a friend that has change

People change there attitude normally just like some of my rural friends. It happens that I meet one of my "kababayan" somewhere in the metro and being a fellow rural friend I firstly approached to greet him. But things came not good for me cause he just smile and ignore me, it really felt bad to be treated like that. He was totally change and it really surprise me, I was thinking to comfront him why he approach me on a bad way. Maybe his in a bad mood or ashamed with his socialite friends because a rugged guy approached to greet him.

I just ignore those things happend the other day probably I was thinking bad about him. But when I ask one of our fellow kababayan regarding the kind of attitude he got. I was surprise cause he also experienced the same way just like what I had the other day. And some of our rural friends experienced it also. Maybe their are some people who actually change there attitude when they arrived in another place, a change of lifestyle, taste and friends. But one thing for sure someday he will realize that the thing he had done to his fellow rural friends is bad. And I hope that he will realize it soon or he will get into bad karma for what he did.

Traffic Jam Headache

Traffic Jam here in the city causes a lot of headache, imagine waiting for almost 15-30 minutes before your vehicle can move on from one street to another. Especially during rainy days whew!!! flood and traffic are joining forces to give every human being here in this city a big darn headache. I really wonder when will this traffic problem be solve? Every day I always made an adjustment for my time, my work starts at 9:00 am but I need to live home around 6:30 or else I will be late.

I still remember during my highschool days in the rural area where I don't took to much attention on time. My class usually starts at 7:30 am and I left home around 7:20 but I never get late eventhough our school is 5 kilometers away. Maybe because their is no traffic in the rural area or province. How I wish traffic jam will be eliminate in this city but for sure it would take a long time or maybe a possible thing :( .

Nothing beats Dried Fish

I had a great breakfast today a cup of coffee, rice and fried dried fish. Still nothing beats the smell of fried dried fish, it really craves me a lot. I still remember my old life in the province where I eat fried dried fish as my breakfast. Life in the rural area is very simple, the kind of living and the type of food they want. Still remember when I arrived here in the city during 1999 where I was so excited to eat the kind of meal they have. Almost all of the food I had eaten are full of preservatives which is not good for the body. There are some people also here who are health conscious but most of them are into preservative food like instant mami, instant spaghetti and a lot more.

Hope to have a great day cause my morning seems great :) . I had a good breakfast and hope to have a great lunch and dinner. :) Peace
