I don’t know what’s with the year 2013 because it seems that
this year is not a good year for the Philippines. The country experienced war
in Zamboanga, flood because of habagat and typhoon Maring, earthquake in Bohol
and nearby provinces and just recently almost 2/3 of the Philippines
experienced the super typhoon Yolanda.
No classes last Friday and I was monitoring the weather
update because we have free movie screening at that time. As I mentioned in my
previous post, we were able to watch Thor movie because the weather was not bad
in Metro Manila.
Then last Saturday, I was watching the “Bagsik ni Yolanda” of
ABS CBN and I was really shocked. Seeing the aftermath of super typhoon Yolanda
is enough to break my heart. I was so sad to see those victims who lost their
homes, property and even loved ones. Mala tsunami + tornado ang aftermath. I’m thankful that we did not experience
this but at the same time I feel so sorry for the Visayas region. Imagine,
nakanood pa kami ng movie while there are people na wala ng house, food and
drinks.
I know there are no words good enough to console and comfort
those people because I was not there and I did not experience it. Actually, I was asking myself if I live
in Visayas, will I be able to survive? Am I strong enough to experience that
because honestly, signal no. 2 pa lang super takot ako. I’m so scared hearing
the sound of the wind and I can’t sleep sa sobrang kaba. How much more signal
no. 3 and 4, baka nahimatay na ko sa takot.
But like CNN said, Filipinos are bunch of survivors so in
time we will rise again. Lord, please help us, strengthen us and heal our land.
Remind us o Lord, that You are in control and You will always be faithful.

Nakakalungkot talaga panoorin ang news, even online. Makes me really sad! I hope the country can bounce back.
