Dealing with floods

All right! So our city is such a beautiful city, so maybe that is why floods visit us regularly. What I mean by regular is when rainy season comes specifically the months of August until November, expect water to rise up to knee-deep or even higher than that.

Last year, we actually planned to reconstruct our home because the actual ten years of dealing with floods is such a pain in the ass. It was a terrible experience that every time we wake up for school; having to dip our feet to the coldness of flood waters just to go to the bathroom. After that we will also cross over floods on our way outside to reach the pave ways. Boots will never work out so we have to walk barefooted holding our bags, socks and shoes. Sometimes, we became late for school and worst thing about it was when the teachers did not believe that we have to struggle long flood ways just to be in school. Our place, I think, is the only place left low-leveled after the constructions of many subdivisions and villages within the city.

Now that rainy season is in again, I know we have to suffer for floods again. Our family managed to construct high level flooring for us not to get wet again. But our roads still will be filled in with water. Hoping someday that we will be able to stop dealing with floods ever.
