As my normal routine every Sunday, I woke up very late from staying up late yesternight. I wanted to extend my sleep but a call of nature urged me to get up and visit the comfort room. And once I get up from slumber, my mind would be full of random thoughts that would keep my eyes wide open. And I stepped inside the comfort room, a cold breeze embraced my body that made me shiver. As I climbed back to my bed, I checked the weather temperature and it showed that it declined below 10°. The drizzling weather condition even made it colder.
Freezing, drizzling and boring my Sunday was. It made me lazy to get up but my eyes didn't want to go back to sleep anymore. Meanwhile, my body seemed like it wanted to glue itself on the bed the whole day. As the lazy song says:
🎶 Today I don't feel like doing anything. I just wanna lay on my bed. 😴 🎶
But I did feel like picking up my phone as it was the only thing that would make my day worthy, lol.
The first thing I did after setting my data on was to check the $EMBER status. I just felt disappointed upon seeing it dropped below $0.10, losing 90% of my investment, lol.
The whales could easily manipulate the market and drop the token any time they want to without minding the other investors and the effort of the devs in making the project. It seemed promising, but due to some misunderstandings and greediness of some fellas, FUDs escalated and opted for other investors to sell their $EMBER. Which affected the project as a whole. So I have no choice but to leave my $EMBER in the vault and wait until it recovers. I remembered it's the same thing that happened on MistSwap, TangoSwap, and other DEXs wherein the token's price dropped after the launch.
Pega racing and finishing my drafted article came next while checking posts on both read/noise.cash.
Moving on...
At one in the afternoon, I opted to go down as my tummy was already complaining. Besides, I only ate a little yesternight so I felt hungry upon waking up late in the morning but I still opted to hold it until afternoon, lol.
I went out in the slight rain with multiple clothes and a cap and scarf on just not to feel so cold. But the freezing wind still sent chills to my bones. I hurriedly walked not to get caught by the rain in case it gets heavy and looked for a restaurant that serves hot soup. I came across a noodle restaurant that's perfect for my cravings.
Without hesitation, I entered the restaurant and looked for a seat available for one person as I don't want to share a table with others. My male boss reminded me to be careful as Covid cases in Hong Kong keep on increasing.
I ordered the Supreme noodles that consist of all kinds of toppings (beef, pork, chicken, chicken liver, ham, tofu, sprout beans, and lettuce in a clear broth soup base. The huge bowl of supreme noodles was served with pickled yellow bell pepper and something like cooked tuna in tomatoes as side dishes.
While eating, my little sister called and I talked with my mother while slowly eating the huge bowl of noodles. There were several happenings at home that they kept from me these past few weeks and took our conversation longer.
As per my mother, my gay brother was hospitalized for a week due to a loss of appetite to eat enough food and blood vomiting. The X-Ray and Ultrasound showed that there was something wrong with his lungs. He's still under observation and would go back to the hospital tomorrow for a follow-up check-up. The doctors still can't identify his sickness and so he needs more tests and daily medication. My mother presumed that he might have ulcer or tuberculosis which was the case of our late grandfather on our mother's side. I'm just praying and hoping that he would get well soon as I don't want the same faith of our grandfather to happen to him (knock on wood).
Meanwhile, there was a meeting conducted by government officials in our village and told every household representative that they'll be building seawalls in our town including our village to avoid floods during strong typhoons. It's a good idea. Unfortunately, houses by the riverside will be affected and that includes ours. I took a deep breath after hearing the story and imagining our newly renovated house being demolished.
Did they even consider the money spent building a stronger foundation of our house so our family would be protected from natural devastation? We built a seawall behind our house as well, could they give an exemption or just make an extension wall from our wall. Because seriously, the money and effort would go wasted and it's freaking million the total amount loaned by my father just to build a better house.
Moreover, it was our grandfather's land inherited from my mother and has a land title. And now the government wants to own the lands by the seaside including ours. That's annoyingly hilarious!!! It's not only our family that would be affected, as well as my grandmother's house and other relatives living near the sea. Because it's like our family's compound.
My question is, the strongest typhoon Yolanda badly hit our town in 2015, why do this project now? We survived different typhoons over the past 6 years and even Yolanda. The water during that time didn't even reach the highway. So why bother our lives now that we are living in a more comfortable house? I wanted to screw those government officials who only think of themselves.
It's just a river for Pete's sake located below and far from the main road. The water doesn't flood the village during typhoons. Why don't they just focus on building the seawall in our town proper facing the sea and leave us live in peace!
My father got totally mad because it's his own blood and sweat rendered in building our home. And as he said, he would fight for it.
Pardon me for this rant. I was just mad.

Ang government talaga natin dito di na maintinidihan. Sabagay palapit na kasi election kaya ganyan. Dapat e consider nila mga tao jan lalo at naka recover na.
