Today is the 19th of November and I wanted to update this age about what's going on.I personally feel this typhoon didn't only bring huge destruction and devastation but had opened our eyes to things that we never pay attention before.I feel like it was our pandoras box because it opened our door for the world to see.Our political system was exposed to the world.Needless to say,it mirrors what kind of government we have- corrupt,incompetent and very confusing. On the lighter side,I've witnessed the true spirit of humanity. It's overwhelming really.This has bonded us closer.Just watching the news feed on to us by media every evening is unbearable.Seeing a man in tears and a mother searching for her children is too painful to watch.There are kids hungry but still laughing because they are with their parents and that's all that matters now.I mean,my gosh! I couldn't bear watching without crying everytime.And everyone was doing their best to help and that makes me cry to. It also opened issues that we don't see on our own not until foreigners noticed it for us and we ended up nodding our head because they are right.Corruption,incompetence,resilience,patience,poverty are among the first issues noticed.Good or bad,uplifting and discouraging,everything can be seen now after this disaster.I just wish the government will learn from it and will start setting bigger share for calamity funds.And while we are under these challenging times,I hope that we are not fixated with it but instead still keep moving on.Things can get worse.Who knows.I wanted to think that there's still hope for the Philippine government.What I've just seen on the news is a great realization of how far behind we are from other countries.Whether they are genuinely helping us or we are being politically played on,I don't know.Senator Mirriam Defensor was right,if we wanted change,that's a long process and a huge leap because first and foremost,the whole constitution must be changed or renewed. This typhoon is indeed one of the strongest.It shook us to wake up from reality.It hurts us till our cries reaches the heavens.And at the same time,it overwhelms us with so much comfort with pouring help and generousity.It made us acknowledge by other countries as resilient and strong. While this country has the most humble and most resilient citizen,I just pray that God will bless us with godly leaders who will lead us to a better future.I'm keeping my hopes up,still hopeful.Despite almost everyone who don't trust our government anymore,I wanted to think there's still hope and I'm praying it's never too late to make things right one step at a time. This is not only about the government but this is more of us as citizens of this country.It's more of who we are and what culture we have.We chose our leaders,we put them there.Actually,you chose them because for the past 9 years,I never cast my vote.I just simply don't find anyone worth my vote.If I did find one,I know that one will win even without my vote and usually it happened. What I'm trying to say is the change should come from us.What can we do to start these changes? I personally think it has something to do with the cuture and tradition.Kung ano ang kinaugalian.Yung takot magtanong.What Cooper displayed on the field inspired me.Sanay kasi tayo na kung anong nandyan,ok na.Kasi yung kaisipan na baka sasama loob nila sa atin if we question or we oppose.Yung kahit di mo naiintindihan,sige pa din.And of course,yung discipline.We are not the only once struck by such devastating calamity.Japan was hugely devastated last year but after a few weeks they are okay.No loothing because their government provided efficiently. There had been different reactions.Different opinions and stand.other countries pity the kind of government we have including those Filipinos who left the country for good because they simply can't take it.Some are so angry with the system and the entire government.Some even hated that they are part of this country.But I say,such hatred will not do us any good. For now,I just hope each of us learn from this and be our inspiration moving forward.To those who extended help the best way they can,may God bless you in return. And to those who took advantage sana karmahin kayo ng one million times up to the 10th generation of your family!I have read some post online of people who witnessed relief goods being repack by DSWD and some relief from the US being replaced or worse,di nakarating sa mga dapat pagbigyan.If these are all true,I swear by the name of God,I will even pray na karmahin talaga kayo! To the families affected,may God comfort you specially those who totally lose everything including love ones.May God be your comfort.May you find reason to live and move on.May you be surrounded by people who genuinely care and love you in your life time.I pray that God will richly bless you and protect you .Please know,somewhere people feel for you.They cry with you and they just wish they can do something to make things better for you.They feel your pain,anger,and desperation.They can feel you how much more with God.So please don't lose hope. To our government officials,I don't even know what to say now because honestly I'm in full rage right now.I might have little knowledge about politics but I can understand what's happening and I can read between the lines.I'm not saying all of you are corrupt but maybe the image and the system we have makes me think like you are all the same! Even if I didn't vote for any of you,I have the right to be angry and I deserve an explanation because I have been paying taxes to the government in years on time!We deserve justice and I just want to believe there's still hope.To those who enjoyed a luxurious life coming from our taxes,shame on you.I also pray na sana karmahin din kayo buong buhay nyo! Have fear and conscience,that's all I ask for now. Blessing in Disguise Amidst Super Typhoon |
Thank God,they are safe.Too bad their house was destroyed but at least no one is hurt in his family and that's lots of reasons to be thankful. | I pray that God will make us stronger and that the families who lose some love ones will be comforted.May they find the strength to start over again.May they never lost the courage to keep going on. May God bless us,keep us safe and heal our land. |

This is also where I put most of my random personal reflections. Pretty much my diary.
