ULOG DAY 39: " PEOPLE COME AND GO"

After a few hours, my sister knocked the door. I was nervous what will be the result of her medical test and she happily informed me that she is 100% healthy, means that she just wait for the apppointed interview in the US Embassy. She was very happy but yet super nervous if she will be qualified to get a fiance Visa after the interview.

As we waited for the days, we were not aware that Manila was hit by a typhoon. It was only when we ate in the restaurants and the TV was opened, newscasted about the recent condition of the metro. A few people was reported as dead in Manila Bay and the Marikina city is flooding too much. We never knew there was a typhoon 'coz we were always inside the hotel. But one night, we went outside to dine out on Chowking and we used umbrella, but the umbrella was wrecked by the strong typhoon.

In the next day, the rain was not that heavy and the sunshine was so bright. The sideways and streets are dry and the street people can lay along the road and beneath the building's hallway. We hiked to the Robinsons Manila for 5 minutes away from the hotel and relished Chicken Curry that tastes good. Then we opted to go back to the hotel, but when we went out, the hallways and roads were slippery and wet and the street people looked pitiful laying in their cardboards with their kids. They were like the hen warming themselves below the countable tree leaves or under the limited roof. I realized I was really blessed that I never lived in the streets.

Then, in Tuesday morning, my sister woke up as early as 5 am because 7 am was the necessary schedule to her presence in the US Embassy. I was nervous for her and kept asking why she looked so calm. She said that she is nervous inside but she doesn't wanna show it. She wore a dress in a cute jacket because it rained again. The US Embassy was only a few minutes to hike from M.H Del Pilar but since it rained, my sister rode a taxi. Then she arrived at the department safer. Then she underwent an interview finally while I napped inside the hotel.

After a few hours, someone knocked the door. It was my sister. Seems like I knew what is the answer of my question because she entered the room with her amiable smile. She 100% passed and will fly to the US this October. Now, I have two sisters in the US.
