If my computer isn't shut down because of the rain, my ISP probably is. Not only is my surfing connection nil, I can't even download mail.

Perhaps what makes storms more annoying than usual here in the Philippines is the fact that it happens all the time yet people don't do anything about it. The same streets get flooded every year. The same tragedies happen over and over again. The same problems occur. Yet what do we do about it? Nothing. That's the Philippines for you.
