too Heavy

Before I went off from work last Tuesday, I was worried on how I’ll be able to go home since most of the roads are impassable. I was lucky enough that morning that I was able to get a ride though the roads were already flooded. This was the first time I went home seeing that kind of scene. People wander on the road, racing to get a ride that will take them to their respective places. There was not even a typhoon forecasted but most of the news was about the southwest monsoon’s tyranny which caused flash flood to different places in the metro. I even had to stay at my sister’s place for a day, not able to report to work, and can’t even go home. I watched TV all night as the heavy rain continued pouring. Momentarily, I kept on texting my siblings to ask how things were going at home because the last time I checked the water inside our house was a waist-deep. Good thing the heavy rain finally tamed. The floods subside and I can finally go home. Though the southwest monsoon brought a very disturbing experience to many, I am still grateful that no one’s hurt in my family, friends, and colleagues. And I would like to thank the people who showed their concern in sending their text messages. I was happy to know that even if we are also affected by flash flood I was able to offer my room to the people who have nowhere else to stay. I hastily said yes when my brother told me that two of our elder neighbors will sleep in my room :) I guess this is something I can offer to thank God for keeping us safe always and for all the blessings I have. I pray for the people who lost their shelter and loved ones. If there is any way I can do to help I'll be more willing to offer what I can give.



As I browsed the web from a day of being idle I found this page that makes me really proud pinoy! #bangonPlilpinas a heartwarming trending tweets to encourage us during tough times :) This trending made me admire BrunoMars even more.
