Ondoy or "ketsana" (the international name) was the most tragic storm I ever felt.. The winds are calm, but the 8 hours of non-stop raining was like the one on THE NOAH's ARK story.
I was getting my self to connect to the net, then my Mom started to scream out that the flood is getting inside our house, that very moment I paused, cant think what to do... but to stare on the water getting inside the door. A couple of minutes approximately 20 minutes, the whole floor was full of flood.. I thought of getting my mom upstairs, and some of our things. After that every thing was on a total silence. I got my self staring again on the spot where the washing machine was.. and thinking that it has to move somewhere dry, nowhere but the RATAN sala we got. I fold the foam and bring it up to the 2nd floor, then grab the 6 kilos washing machine and that has my clothes plus the water inside. My Brother was grabbing the refrigerator and I tryied to help him. I got the case of the beer under..

Unfortunaly, 500+ filipino died, drowned, flushed by the flood. LET US PRAY FOR THEIR SOUL's
The scenario we felt under storm ONDOY, was the same scenario 1969 had here in manila..
40 years ago, as I can say HISTORY REPEATS IT SELF.
I have here a video of a news report from France 24:
"mayaman man ay nahirapan din, paano ang mga mahihirap?"
More filipino where helping even they felt the same tragedy the others have, even local artist, from different channels form a team just to help others. they where giving clothes, food, toiletries, bed & warmers for the elders and children.
Im thingking at this very moment how about the new born babies? I really have a strong personality they say, but inside is a soft hearted preson, cant stop my tears to drop whenever I see this video..

I always remember the saying that "there will be a sunshine, after the rain" I know and Im always hoping that there will be!
my own picked video tribute to the people whos now down and lonely, missing their LOVE ONES.
I really love the meaning of this song, simple but will run to you heart.

I will always include a prayer for your families! I promise that.
