A Careless Act

I haven't really blogged for quite a long time already and I miss is it so badly. I was pretty dumped with school work that's why I did not have time to update this. But now, since I already have the time to do so, I might as well not let this opportunity pass by.

This week was supposed to be our finals already but due to Typhoon Ondoy (Ketsana) that hit our country (specifically Metro Manila) last September 26, our school decided not to have our finals anymore. We just need to consult with our professors and fix our clearance during this week. So yea, nothing much to do and then next week is our semestral break already. Yipee? Maybe for us college students only. :P

It's been more or less a week since Typhoon Ondoy hit our country. Marikina, which is my hometown, was one of the most affected areas. It was a disaster! My family and I were not directly affected, which we are very thankful for, but unfortunately for our relatives who reside in other parts of Marikina, they were badly affected. It really pinched my heart when I saw what Ondoy left for them. It's very devastating. :( I'd say, I was emotionally traumatized by what I have seen. But what more to those people who were directly affected? :(

But looking at the brighter side, it's a good thing that some people are now slowly recovering from what happened and it would really take a long time for the Filipinos to get back on their feet again. It's also a good thing that Typhoon Pepeng, preceeded by Typhoon Ondoy, did not really become a super typhoon. It was said on an international weather forecast that it was equivalent to the strength of Hurricane Katrina but thank God that it wasn't.

Anyway, enough about the strom. Moving on...

I feel completely horrible about myself! See, last weekend, my parents were out of the country. They went to Malaysia for a medical conference and...leisure, perhaps. Since they were away for around 4 days, they were expecting us to text them. Anyway, to cut the long story short, they got angry at me for not replying to their messages and for not texting them. They felt like I didn't care for them.

Well, I have to admit that it was my fault. I should have texted them even if I didn't receive their messages.

Wait, no.

Actually, I did receive their messages but I received it on a later notice. Still, you should have replied, Lis!

God. I actually thought that this was a petty issue but for my mom, it's a big one! :| My dad was able to let it go last night when they arrived, or at least I think he did; but my mom, she's still mad at me. She wouldn't talk to me.

Okay. She did talk to me but she was giving me a sermon while eating dinner. Great.

I guess I really screwed it up this time.
