…typhoon ondoy

sept 26. this is one unforgettable day for a lot of filipinos. we’ve never imagined such devastation to happen in metro manila and nearby areas. we were not prepared.

a look at the aftermath

and now,  typhoon pepeng was expected to land tonight. it’s good that preparations were done for those areas that will be hit directly.
we need to be prepared now. we don’t want another ondoy devastation.
help is still needed. if you can, please help. you can check the links here for your donations. thank you very much. your help are greatly appreciated. God bless all of you.
anyway, i wasn’t able to go home that saturday. i went on an errand in the morning and i got stranded. i was really thankful for a friend who took care of us, i was with some friends then. she took us to her home, fed us and even lent a room so that we can sleep comfortably. thank you thank you lian! God bless you!
we weren’t able to sleep though. we just spent the night listening to a tiny radio lent to us by our friend and getting more worried.
i was texted by my mother that afternoon that the flood inside our house is already knee deep. i was really worried and wanted to go home but it would really be impossible for me to reach our house without swimming for it. our street has chest deep water. it is waist deep in front of the village’s gate and knee deep inside our house. i was just really thankful that the water subsided really fast when the rain stopped early sunday morning and there’s not much damage inside our house. my parents were able to bring most of our things to the second floor of our house. though, did a lot of cleaning after.
here’s a shot taken by my niece from our 2nd floor window. it was taken at about 4pm that saturday. water level rose until late in the evening.

but this is really nothing compared to what others have experienced. 20ft flood water, people on their roofs waiting to be rescued, rivers overflowing, dead bodies floating….. it was really sad.
let’s help.
let’s pray.
hope all will be better soon.
