it's been a while i kept silent..and now here i am again blogging out my emotions..


24 hours have passed.. i felt so bad.. the whole area is flooded. they have to cut off the electricity. im all by myself sleeping in a dark night with my windows open just to get ventilation.. and no food to eat.. damn! i've been stocking groceries here, and of all the timing, it was last night that all i've got here are noodles..i cannot eat raw noodles..

the sad part is.. around early afternoon, i got a phone call from my sister who happens to live in Sta Mesa.. she's crying, so scared... for the water already reached the level of her neck.. and soon the water might rise and reach the 2nd floor... and it did happen! they still have to destroy the wall just to get out of the house.. the water downstairs is not passable anymore because of the presence of electric current..they have to spend the night to their neighbor who i imagine has higher house than theirs.. im very much worried with my pamangkin.. she's only 4 years old.. and i fear that she might get traumatized... i told my sister to be strong for her daughter..

only this afternood that they were able to checked in in a hotel nearby.. the sad part is, they loss their things.. all the appliances were destroyed.. their beds.. their documents.. everything's gone.. i know it was a disaster.. and traumatizing for them..

i realized. all my bad experiences last night were just a dot as compared to the whole picture of the disaster brought about by typhoon Ondoy.. im still blessed for being secured here in my dormitory, despite sleeping alone in a blackout night..i got to meet new people then.. perhaps gain more friends here..and i'm just thankful that my sister and her family is safe..

when i opened the internet, i felt terribly sad with all the news, photos, and videos posted in the facebook.. i got disconnected to the real world for the last 24 hours.. and i was shocked to hear how much damage Ondoy has created..

and now i think it's about time to return our blessings.. give whatever donation we can give.. and extend our prayers.. our prayers would be the least thing that we can do now..

"The important thing is not to be bitter over life's disappointments. Learn to let go of the past, and recognize that every day won't... be sunny. And when you find yourself lost in the darkness of despair, remember, it's only in the black of night that you see the stars, and those stars lead you back home." -OTH
