TYPHOON ONDOY...the experience...the aftermath...

Everyone is talking about the typhoon ondoy...a lot of people suffered from this disastrous ondoy...so much has been said about it...everyone is blaming the government about it...victims are asking help...how can we help in our own little way?

I had never seen such typhoon in national capital region like this. Much more had not seen from my very own eyes and experienced walking along ortigas extension with a flooded water last saturday (september 26, 2009). I don't have any choice but to walk in a flooded area coz if not I will be a helpless mother to my son and a helpless daughter to my mom on that day. I strongly had fought the fear of being drowned in that half-bodied flood water. I can never imagine that from that day on I will have a very traumatic experience of the flood which will be kept in my heart and mind.

Actually, our place was not affected but I was able to experience walking the flooded area of ortigas extension. I can never forget that tragic experience. How much more the affected areas and the people who also fought for their lives that day. I can never imagine it will abruptly happened.

After that disastrous typhoon, I was able to go to evacuation centers and the pictures above are the aftermath of the said typhoon. We were able to give relief goods. I had seen straight from my very own eyes how the people lost their living. I had seen also that our government is doing no good of the rescue operations and the distributions of the relief goods. There are only part of the victims area are given (coded) and what about the other victim areas? It is very sad to know that less expectations can be thought of our government in times like this. When will our government learn from this disastrous calamity? I think my queries will remain unanswered until the next one will happen...(so sad)

BEYOND COMPARE

After the evolution of text messages and electronics mail I still manage to write a very special token of love for my everloving hon who is in his special mission for a few days. I hope only a few days as what he told me coz by now I am in mixed emotions how to deal with this kind of feeling I am having...thinking of his safety all through out his mission. I am not there to support him whatever he is doing...but I wrote a simple note for him to always remember me wherever his mssion is. I know that he will come back for me...
With the kind of life and the nature of work James my hon had, I am always in constant prayer that he will be guided with our Lord. I hope he is always in good shape.

KNOW YOURSELF

It can be interesting as well as useful to think about the way we define ourselves as individuals. We tend to focus on particular facets: size, gender, vocation, material possessions, family name, where we were educated or grew up, things like that.
Some of us perceive and define ourselves solely in negative terms: our incapability, unworthiness, faults, past, behavior, comparing ourselves unfavorably to other people or against unrealistic ideals. If we define ourselves in such limited or deprecatory terms, we are very far indeed from true self-acceptance.
In my own case, I try to recognize and acknowledge the whole me.. That includes the sum of all my experiences, good and bad. It concerns my present reality: not the me I want to be or hope to be, nor the me I think others see, and certainly not the former me who no longer exists. By taking a hard, cool appraisal of myself, I'm able to make sound decisions about my life and where I need to go. We should know ourselves because these are the only things we can truly know. We cannot get inside anyone else's situation. We can better judge ourselves.
