Everywhere in the Philippines is now experiencing heavy rain due to typhoon Paeng and it's sad because supposedly this day is the first day of the holidays for Halloween but how can people travel if the weather is not safe for us to go out from home?

Always put first our safety and be alert in whatever possible happens during this time. It will end soon just keep on praying for our brothers and sisters who are now suffering because of this calamity. I hope they can surpass this all happenings, I trust God in his power that everything will be fine and protect us from any danger.

By the way, hello my fellow bloggers how was your weekend so far? maybe many of you here were very happy since it would be a long week with your families and relatives to have bonding times and make memories for keeps.

This morning, my boss texted me about our work. He said that the buyers of our products were eager to have them next week and I know we cannot reach those dates if we don't work this holidays.

He said that we need to finish the product this coming November 2, Wednesday and I responded that okay and we will finish them on that day.

The buyers are asking for an evaluation of how much we can produce in one week, My boss will only come here to our workplace every Saturday to bring the salaries for us. That's why he keeps on texting me and he gives me 20 dollars as an allowance every week being a caretaker of his business while he was not around.

I responded to to to him that we will find a way to reach the desires of our buyers and also to impress them. I can handle overtime if needed.

Tomorrow is Sunday but we have to work and even this coming two days' holidays (all saints day and all souls day). I was sad because this is a chance to have a break and get some fresh air by traveling somewhere especially going home in the province but I also need to finish my work or else our work will be at stake. I don't want to be like that because many of us are just depending on this field.

We need rest, Yes but we also need this job to sustain the needs of my family. Sometimes we need to sacrifice and choose the better than decide directly without considering the consequences that might end up in trouble for us. Occasions are always there but work if it will lose then what would happen to us?

What should you choose?

For those having a travel vacation, please keep safe and enjoy the break ❤

Thanks for reading!
