...feels moderate all the time. There is a strong tropical storm, "Falcon" passing the northeast area of the country, and Manila has been flooding again. Traffic was terrible today what with non-stop rains. Here, it was on/off rain, wind and now at midnight, calm. When Metro Manila began flooding during Ondoy, we were largely unaffected. Well, the technopark side of Santa Rosa, that is. There were areas down at the bayan, starting from bgy Balibago and down to the Laguna Bay area, that were waist deep in water.
Many times, were enjoyed sunny skies while Metro Manila was dark and rainy. Of course, this is due in part to our location away from the ocean, with the Tagaytay ridge bordering the flat lands.
While it is a blessing to live in mostly pleasant weather with moderate, refreshing rains here, we are no less sympathetic to everyone stuck in traffic or wading through floods. I know I often sound too enthused about this place to friends and relatives...but the truth is, watching traffic reports on the nightly news really makes me glad I'm away from that stressful city. Now even typhoon reports make me doubly relieved I'm not there. We do worry about everyone else.
