wow, i never thought this will happen to our family. i mean, i never wanted this to happen, but it did. and all of us, we weren't expecting it. it was so fast, so tragic, so sad. thinking of our house makes me vulnerable... what more for those who lost their loved ones? it must be really hell for them right now. all i can do now, is to thank God that nobody i know died. well, i hope nobody dies, 'cause there are still some people i cannot contact.:(
it's really sad, it's 2 months before christmas, and this happened. i feel so bad. i feel so weak.
saturday,
7:30 am
-i left home to go to school. i was asked to attend the treasurer's forum in the accountancy building. it was raining hard before i left, but i promised i'd go so i had to leave.
9:40 am
- i arrived UST, and it was still raining. on my way to the university, my brother was telling me to go home because classes had been suspended, and that i might get stranded.
11:30 am
-the first half of the forum ended. and they told us we have to stay inside the building. i looked outside the window, and i saw water all over UST. i was really praying for it to subside, but as time flew, it went up.
(wow, i can still remember what happened that morning)
anyway, so we were stranded in UST, i know were really lucky, 'cause we had electricity. we even watched movies and enjoyed the aircon. WOW. it just frustrated me 'cause i wasn't able to recieve messages from my family members, i was really worried. we were all out of the house. but i trusted God, i wasn't panic-ing, because i know he wouldn't let us suffer.
thank God, it was only the house that ondoy destroyed, not our family. what i am worried about are my friends. i cannot contact some of them since yesterday. i just want to hear that they're safe. i cannot look at the television, seeing those people crying over their dead, and missing loved ones makes me cry as well. it just really makes me feel so lucky that nobody got hurt.
i think, it's God's way of punishing us. for not taking care of the wonderful thing he has given all of us. we all are taking advantage of nature, and it's about time we wake up and do something about it.
i haven't seen our house yet, but my mom said it's really a mess. luckily, we have a second floor. my mom told me that our neighbors went to our house(most of their houses didn't have another floor). i had thought about God purposely made us go to other places, so that other people could use it. so all of us can be saved.:)
yes, i know, it will take a long time before we could all recover form this tragedy. but i also know that God will never ever leave us, and that there will always be a rainbow after the rain.:)
