Ondoy's Impact to NCR and other nearby places.

Ondoy (Internationally named, Ketsana) has recently landed at NCR and Region 4 last Saturday (September 26, 2009) It has been one of those gloomy days. The sky was dark and it was giving off so much rains. It was unexceptionally cold that morning when I woke up, but when I looked outside our window, the rain was so strong that it was continuously dropping. People, who were passing by, were spreading rumors that the creek may overflow any moment from now if the rain would continue. Thankfully, the rain mellowed down.
If the rain was so strong here, what was its effect to Manila itself? Where the drainage and sanitation was a problem itself. The government wasn't able to solve that problem during the past administrations. I was hearing news that many places in the city was suffering from the flooding. It was scary. Yes, it was indeed scary. Knowing that my brother was currently staying at Malabon.
I received a sms message from a close friend of mine saying, that their house was no more to be seen during that time and was submerged by the flood. She even said that she was able to bring only one pair of clothes?! Is it that worse?! I was so worried over her and to everybody that were residing at Metro Manila. My God, what has happened to them?! Why had this happened?! It was one of the most unexpected experiences I came upon to.
Later that night, I was so shocked how terrible things had happened. Days has passed, yet the aftermath of the typhoon is clearly visible to each of one of us. In every person, we see how they need help badly. The bayanihan spirit must be carried upon now.
Ondoy has brought damage to many places. The picture of the city itself is a good example. It has destroyed not only establishments and material things, but also dreams of the people whose life were stolen.






Tell us, when will the so-called actions will be achieved, regarding the drainage and sanitation problems? Must there be another Ondoy before it is achieved? I really hope action can be done. :)

Dear me....!

Oh dear me, just recently this Wednesday, during PE class, I realized I lost my ID. It was quite dreadful. I looked everywhere. In the dressing room, everywhere I went to after changing clothes, but to no luck, I wasn't able to see it. :(
How unlucky of me not to see it. Not only because it is the way to enter in the different buildings of school, but really now it costs too much for me. I have to talk to several personnel so that I can acquire a new one. Geez, what a day to have. I really don't look forward in the next days of my 1st semester now. :(
Hopefully the security will be able to see it. I don't want to cause so much commotion to many people after all. Hahays!

Tagalog Poems

Looks like I saw some of my old poems, which I wrote way back on HS. It doesn't seem to be bad to post them here, right? :)
Post them some other time.. :3

Coin for every Child?

This day has been weird for me. why? Thoughts keep flooding on me; yet the reason are unknown. In one way or another, each topic discusses only one thing: and that is the society. It is hard to believe that even we see this things everyday, we choose to disregard it and accept it as a part of the daily entities that comprises with our environment.
Recently, I noticed how children of ages of early childhood til teenagers start to go here. They start asking jeepney drivers that they will ride for free coz they want to go to a certain place. Why so? Because they will beg for small coins, saying that they need money for food. Actually, I pity them for their parents doesn't give a damn about them and they make such children ask for money for mere pittance. But somehow, it changed this afternoon as I was doing an errand for my mom. I was supposed to buy a burger for I was hungry, really hungry. Then a child approached me asking for coins. I really don't mind giving some few coins. But please, can't that child even wait for even a minute before asking for coins. It is really irritating in one way or another.
Somehow, I can't help but notice that such children are used to make some money by lazy individuals that keep on ranting that their life is hard. Oh please, how can their life improve if they don't work their asses off.
I can't help it but rant, for I am irritated. ~_~ Our society shoulders a lot of problems, if we don't help each other, development will not be achieved. However, all of us remember that wanting to experience such development and change, everything must begin and prosper with oneself. ><

Self-realization

This morning as I was sitting on a bench at Adamson, thoughts started to flood me again. Somehow it's awkward to think of such things, then again all of it has a certain message. I realized how lucky I was to experience to study and to be gifted with such life. Yes, I may not be blessed with comfort and to study at expensive schools.

But wait, it just stomped me that, "Hey girl, aren't you lucky?" You may not be gifted with luxury, you still experience comfort and eat 3x a day. Somehow, I started to look and observe the environment, Phil. setting, why want more; when all the while I have enough to satisfy my daily needs? How selfish and stupid can i get? Other people suffer and can't even have a decent meal a day; while me... look forward for something so expensive.

After that self-realization, I felt ashamed of myself. Honestly, it is not right to have the money that my parents went to waste just for expenditure and luxury. :(
