Hello hive Philippines it's been a while. These rainy seasons we have no storms but our place is suffering from a lot of high tides.
Before they decided to cancel the classes here's the situation in our school. They have increased the floor rooms so that the children can continue to attend school. They even adjusted the school start time to a time when there is no high tide. They did everything but our place is really low. Ria's class really starts at 7 AM to 1:40 PM but because of the high tide they adjust it at 12 noon to 4 PM. When I brought Ria yesterday their teacher was sweeping the floor. The high tide subsided but the opposite to our place. The low tide was slow and very low.
I took pictures of Ria with some of her classmates because their new table had arrived. The kids were smiling like their normal days. We can do nothing with our situation right now.
While my husband caught a lot of (bangus or milk fish) in his fish net. The life span of these fish is very short. And they are the kind that are often made to be marinated or daingin. After cleaning thoroughly we prepared a lot of minced garlic, vinegar, ground pepper, peppercorn, seasoning and calamansi to remove the fishy taste. When I posted it to my social media account, a lot of my friends asked if I was going to sell it. But my husband didn't want to. He brought some in Manila and I gave some to my aunt. When my aunt saw it and tasted it; she asked if she could buy some. But I told her the only one left was for us to eat. He didn't expect that he was able to caught many fishes so he bought us big milk fishes and marinated like the in ingredients above. Sometimes we are abundantly blessed but we also need to endure all the test that God gave us.
I hope that the government will find a way to at least stop the high tides from getting worse. Because we didn't expect that with even no storms the high tides will be 4 feet everyday and the low tide is .49 the flood definitely stocked in our house and place.
