Typhoon Ondoy

I have never imagined such calamity would struck our country. I was holding on to my seat as I was watching the news on what Ondoy has done to Manila. It was unbelievable - rich or poor no one was spared. I was teary-eyed watching clips on how people tried to hold on to dear life. So many people on the Luzon area were affected. This was unexpected.

I hope and pray that we will be able to recover from the destruction that Ondoy has brought our country. I myself have no means of helping - I am not rich to donate money, I am out of the country and could not find any organization who needs volunteers, all I could do is pray for safety and that the next typhoon - Peping will be less ruthless than Ondoy. But we need not worry for as they've said - there will always be rainbow after the rain. And we've already seen a tinge of that rainbow. Alot of Filipinos are giving whatever they can to help out. Knowing that they are far more blessed than the others. That material things has nothing to do with living a good life. Everything could be gone in split-second. We have learned alot of what just happened.

It may take time but we will be able to rebuild what was lost. We always go back to one of our Filipino values : Bayanihan. walang imposible basta't tulong-tulong.
