☔🌬️ Bagyo at Habagat Mode: ON!
When your umbrella turns into a mini parachute and your laundry’s been “sun-drying” for 5 days... but the sun is still on leave. 😅

Stay dry, mga bes! Keep warm, sip some kape, and if the rain gets too dramatic — join the teleserye energy on netflix or disney+ and stare out the window like you're in a music video. 🎶🌧️
