Nature’s Wrath

No. We were not victims of these storms. Thank God, my family is safe. Although, I remember Ondoy’s onslaught got me really worried. I have never seen that much rain fall from the sky. When all of that was happening, a small pool of water had formed in our backyard. But we were lucky. If not for the plants that have grown there, that pool would have been a stream of rain water scattering mud on my garage.

We have been watching the news since last week. My wife and I have remained vigilant ever since last Saturday’s never-ending downpour. As I say, “better know something than not knowing anything at all”.

The news have been depressing. Can’t help but feel really sorry for all the misfortune of our kababayans. We must all pray, support or aide those who do help by whatever means, and remain safe ourselves. We don’t want to add the number of people our government has to take care. I believe it is imperative that we take care of ourselves as well! Let us not be a burden.

Media, in all of it’s forms, have shown us the hard realities. The internet didn’t play second fiddle. A lot of images and videos about the storm and it’s casualties have circulated the net.

But we are not alone.

The world, including ourselves, have become witnesses to the effects of nature’s wrath. The earthquakes, tsunami, and storms these past few weeks have rattled us, the human race, as well as our spirits.

Despite of all these negative things, I came across a really funny picture. I suppose the picture was taken during the storm Ondoy. Isn’t it nice to know that despite the sad things that have been happening, some people haven’t lost their humor. Check it out.

So, kinaya mo ba?
