This morning, I woke up a little late than usual as I was fasting. After shower and checking my e-mails, I decided to clean the house as I had skipped from doing it for a couple of days already. The sky was pretty bright when I woke up but it began to turn grey and dark. In a few seconds, it was raining so heavily. I quickly ran to the other room and saw what I had expected. The drain at the backyard was already stagnant with water and there was no place for it to flow elsewhere. Within a few seconds, the water flowed through the door and flooded the room. I had to wake my roomate up. Both of us quickly gathered our stuff and put it on the bed. By that time, water was already flooding our room. Man, it was like river! We couldn't do much but watch, while trying to get some water out through the front door. This time was worse than the last time. It took us a couple of hours to clean everything. Poor roomie, since she has a lot of stuff on the floor and in the closet, it took her longer to finish cleaning. 

As for me, I got a little hungry by the time I finished cleaning. I planned to break my fast thinking that I'll have no energy by noon. But I decided to just keep on fasting since I was not so tired. So to save my energy, I curled up in bed watching a Japanese drama until it was time to prepare dinner. I must have laid in bed for so long because when I got up to go to the kitchen, I was damn tired. My head started to spin, my legs were weak, my stomach was bloated, and I had a tingling feeling all over my body. But I couldn't surrender since it was almost time to break fast. Alhamdulillah, I manage to distract myself from thinking about hunger by cooking. By the time I'm done cooking, it was time to break my fast. Alhamdulillah...
