Calamity Alert
Rainy Saturday! I will probably stay at home, continue reading Atlas Shrugged and watch Gossip Girls." --- this is my wall message (Facebook) last Saturday around 8:18 AM. We had breakfast in Mang Rudy's carinderia (by the way they serve good papaitan) and decided to have a quick net time because we need to check FARMVILLE.
It's not rainy after all, i should have written STORMY Saturday. I was trapped in my friend's unit in Makati and this is the first time that I felt like a refugee. We don't have anything to eat and their unit was really a mess because water flows every where. We were even moved to a higher floor so we can get enough sleep and two of my friends dare to go out to get some food. During this devastating experience I can't stop thinking what our Apartment looks like and for my adorable Yuuen. I was so thankful that my housemates were able to put Yueen in my room.
As you noticed, our house was a mess and this is the first time in my 3 years stay in this apartment that something like this happen. I know that material damage is disappointing but what's going to leave a mark is the experience we all shared during this typhoon. I saw why Filipinos are distinctively different from other nationalities because we showed the world that we care for each other. I salute all the real life heroes who put time and effort in helping all the victims. My heart goes out to all the victims of Ondoy. If you're interested in helping them you can post a comment and together we can arrange something for them.
