Word Vomit: August 2012

It's been a crazy couple of days here, and not because I've been doing a lot of things, but because the country is literally about to be submerged in water. It isn't anymore such a surprise when a storm this damaging hits the country. I actually expect one every year. It is sad that so many people are losing their homes and loved ones, because of poor drainage systems, pollution, global warming, etc. I haven't had classes since Wednesday and won't be having them until Saturday, so I've been getting school work done. Hopefully, by tomorrow, I'll be finished with my requirements and I get to help in packing and giving out the relief goods to the victims!

For the past few weeks, getting dressed has been a real treat for me, because I love layers, and the rainy season is the only time I get to wear them! But footwear was such a hassle, because my shoes would fall apart when they got wet from the rain. After weeks of searching for rain boots, I couldn't find any decent ones being sold in the Philippines. So I just dreamt of the rain boots I have always wanted but could never afford. Surprisingly, not enough designers make rain boots. I guess millionaires don't have the problem of flood waters. For those of us who can only dream of braving the rains in Prada, I've made a list of my top 5 most coveted rainy day footwear!
