She said that her husband tried to contact her that day but it was to no avail. Communication was cut-off at the time, even for mobile phones. Trains, which are the most convenient kind of transportation, were also shut at that time. So her husband ran for one hour from his office to their house. His husband was really relieved when he had found her safe, she said. She managed to laugh a little to that thought, even though, I think, she was like fighting back some tear drops ready to fall.
She said that they have been fine, except for some mess the earthquake left. Fallen books, toppled bookshelves, broken cups and plates, and many other things kept them busy the next day. Going to the bank to get some finances also made her busy and kept her from attending the lessons, she said.
I told her that I and other teachers were worried about the students. I was very happy to have a lesson with her again, I told her.
I was happy that I managed to give her a good laugh regarding the news about the radiation. I told her about the news banning Japanese-brand chocolates will be banned from being imported to the Philippines. I told her that some of my friends were concerned about that because they like to eat Japanese brand chocolates. But I told her that some of my friends will still eat Japanese-brand chocolates even if it has radiation on it. She laughed really hard about that.
I felt really happy to have a lesson with her again. She's very nice, friendly, and very eager to improve her English. She is one of my avid students that make my online teaching to be something that I would really look forward to everyday. I hope she would fully recover very soon.
