Due to the destructive Typhoon Ondoy, many lives have been lost. Classes have been suspended for one week and some schools are serving as evacuation centers. In some areas, electricity were only brought back yesterday and are still flooded up to now.
When I woke up last Saturday, I was really shocked to see that the flood has reached our room. When for 10 years after it has been reconstructed, flood has never reached our garage. I'm really thankful that the flood in our barangay also subsided that day and we don't have to evacuate to other areas to get rid of flood. The electricity was also cut and was immediately returned the day after. The moment it was brought back, I immediately turned on the televisoin only to know that we're so fortunate to have our home that night. Many people don't have any home to return to. Even the artist Christine Reyes lost her home at Provident Villages, Marikina. These situations made me say that my family is so fortunate.
Though destructive, typhoon Ondoy has brought us many lessons that I hope to be instilled in our minds.
1. Material things come and go. They're not the most important things in life.
2. Love your family as if there's no tomorrow. You may lose them in just a snap.
3. There's no such thing as rich and poor when it comes to acts of God.

Well, it should also be a learning that when Mother Nature takes her revenge, we almost always become helpless.
well said, we're so fortunate talaga, and sobrang tama ka sa last part, walang mayaman o mahirap sa mata ni God. Kahit anong oras pede nya bawiin satin yung mga material things na yan at syempre pati buhay. hays. so sad that many were affected sa bagyong ondoy. wish ko lang makabangon na ang Pinas.
wala namang hindi nalalagpasan ang mga pinoy eh. kaya yan :P
