We May Suffer...

This is just a thought i had yesterday, after hearing the news that over a 100 people are dead at the slaughter of Typhoon Pepeng...

Saturday of September, we had one of the most horrifying nightmares in the history of the Philippines, Typhoon Ondoy left many Filipinos under a huge blanket of water, destroying everything- houses, cars, properties, and even families.

After a 3 day gap, Typhoon Pepeng hit us again and slaughtered many families for so many days. Great losses were obtained and great grief covered us.

After ALL that has happened, did we really see what was in front of us? Did we really accept it or did we blame other people for such crisis? Did we really see the positive effect of this tragedy?...

Last week, i have been thinking of our antenna project which will be submitted immediately. I was very eager to get out of our house and travel to a boarding house in Manila, where me and my classmate will construct the project. During our lunch in Saturday, i made up my mind to get ready for my departure and tell my parents. But then as you all know, a huge wave of water entered our house and we all had to recover our things...

We called our neighbors to come into our house for shelter because the flood rose in such a level that is very dangerous. So after the immediate evacuation of our neighbors, and recovering of our appliances, we rested...

After the floods have subsided and our neighbors back into their homes, we moved to clean our house from the thick mud Ondoy has left us. After a day or two of cleaning, we are finished.

The thought that have been roaming around my head during the flood is "Why is this happening?". Of course, we will all have the same idea, but different answers...

I thought that the crisis was a thing that has a positive impact on people. I cant say it is good or bad, but it has different outcomes in different people.

1. Think about the "bond" you had with the people you have been with in the times of that crisis, specially the Family.

2. Think about the impact on the Society. They are now more aware and are ready to improve themselves.

3. Think about the people YOU HELPED...

4. Think about the people THAT HELPED in those disastrous times.

5. Think about the communication you had with GOD.

6. Think about the times you PRAYED FOR OTHERS...

These are the Positive ideas i would like to express and tell everybody who has been a victim of Typhoon Ondoy and Pepeng. We may suffer, but just think of the positive effects and impact of every situation NOT only For Us, but also the effects for EVERYBODY...
