Rainy Tuesday Evening

There are reports I read that another typhoon is slamming northern Philippines today. In fact, some classes were suspended due to the typhoon Glenda. I can only hope that the weather nearby Cebu provinces is bearable. My sister is traveling today from Manila to Cebu and early tomorrow morning she flies to our place, Camiguin. It would be very inconvenient to her if she’ll be stranded in Cebu. Plus, the airline’s already made her travel inconvenient by changing time and dates of her trip, hence the long wait at Cebu airport later today. I just pray all goes right and well for her.

Here in Thailand, the weather is a bit unusual. It has been dark the whole afternoon and in early evening the rain started to fall with substantial winds. For this reason I was not able to work overtime, I wasn’t prepared for a rainy walk to home.

I don’t like gloomy, stormy weather… it makes me nostalgic!

 

Worst Times

A flower with prayers for typhoon victims

My heart bleeds for what happened in Central Philippines – Samar and Leyte and neighboring typhoon affected provinces. The news I see on every network is heartbreaking and I know how difficult it is for my fellow Pinoys out there. I’ve been in similar situation when I was a kid but theirs now is totally devastating and traumatic than what I’ve witnessed and experienced long ago.

I stopped watching news because it breaks my heart to see the pitiful sight.  However I read online news but skip the photos. I still want to know if the conditions have become better as days go by. I also learn that many foreign countries heartily donate goods, money and services to the victims. I am so humbled by the concern of the world.

The only thing I can do now is to offer my fervent prayers for the victims and participate in giving donations and clothes to be transported to the Philippines from Thailand.

And through this blog, I am thanking the countries who are helping my fellowmen in this worst times… Thank you, we are forever indebted to you!
