Helping Hand

It’s four days before Christmas while I can’t wait for this special day to come, my sympathy goes to all the victims of "Typhoon Sendong" especially children who lost their loved ones, they are so oblivious of what lies ahead. We know that what happened is nature’s wrath but this wouldn’t have happened without negligence on everyone’s part and it’s always easy to put the blame on the government but the truth is we’re never prepared for anything and it’s always too late. So where do we go from here? If we will not care for mother earth we can anticipate that the worse has yet to come. God never wanted this to happen neither for people to suffer. HE never gives up on so let’s just take this as a reminder that we are lucky enough to be alive and to cherish every moment that we have with our loved ones for what is lost can never be saved.

Typhoon Ondoy

I've never seen a real big flood in my life until I finally came face to face with one last Saturday. I took a video of the flood with my camera phone so I can show it to my sister as a proof. She can hardly believe how big the flood was. Thank goodness our apartment is on the second floor and the flood didn't reach our floor but I got a little scared since I'm all by myself. My sister is at work that time I told myself that if the rain won't subside there's still a chance that the water might go up. I'm just really blessed that it subsided before evening and my sister got home safely. 


We had no electricity for more than 24 hours, that was from Saturday afternoon until before 5 PM yesterday. Manong guard said the water motor will be fixed today, I hope so. I heard it drowned after the flood. For the time being our water supply is coming from the ground floor tank. We only use reserved water so it's a must to conserve. I hate complaining because I know that there are less fortunate people out there. On a sad note, I think it will take a long time for our country to completely recover from the wrath of Ondoy, but we have to keep our hopes up.
