Water World
September 28, 2009
* So before it’s exactly a year since my last post, I better post something new NOW!
September 26 2009 was the worst day for Filipinos. Tropical storm Ketsana (or Ondoy, as it was called locally) hit Manila with non-stop rainfall for 6 hours that ultimately surpassed what Katrina did to New Orleans. It got me glued to Youtube, TFC (The Filipino Channel) and Facebook for any news updates. All the sad, terrible, gory images of this weekend left me with a flood of emotions, no pun intended….helplessness for not being there to help, guilt for living so comfortably knowing that some friends and family I know are in a terrible situation, worried about what can happen next, a bit panicked thinking of the time it will take for Filipinos to rise out of this again.
Lord, help my people.
