Lifted, Changes, Stronger / Monday / Ponds

🌅 Lifted
Imagine being so down, and someone tells you something that lifts your spirits. Those words become like sunshine on a gloomy day. It's as if you got your life back, and you're ready to go to battle against negativity. Be thankful for the people who become a wall you can lean on.
🔄 Changes
There are times when we need to make changes because they are necessary. It's not an abrupt decision, but rather one that was thought through. Transformation is needed to make things better. It's not an easy journey, and it takes courage to face it. Eventually, you will realize that you made the right decision.
💪 Stronger
Everyone hates experiencing pain, but facing it is inevitable. However, it can make you so strong that it molds you into a better person. After you have overcome everything that has challenged you, everything will seem lighter, and joy will follow.

🌧️ Monday
I admit I haven't been able to check the weather forecast over the past few days. There's a typhoon in the Philippine territory, and it is enhancing the southwest monsoon. We've had heavy rain almost the entire night, and as expected, the downstairs area is already flooded. The rain stopped for a bit this morning, but it has intensified again. Praying for better weather later or tomorrow.

🐟 Ponds
We visited the village of Malawa, which has a lot of huge ponds. The ponds are like lakes, which is probably why the village was named Malawa. "Lawa" is the Filipino word for lake. It is such a beautiful and peaceful village, but I noticed they need better roads since the current ones are already damaged.
