My Typhoon Ondoy Experience

Personal experience of the calamity that taught me to say with Job,

"the Lord giveth, the Lord taketh away. Blessed be the name of the Lord"

It was waist deep already that we had to leave our house as the flood rises so quickly...

My brother outside our house few hours before the flood reached over 6 feet high...

When the flood was gone, most properties were damaged but thankfully we are safe...

Damaged things, lost properties, tiring moments, frustrating long hours and many unforgettable flood experiences.

I will keep them as memories that taught me to trust in God's goodness and let go of material things that don't really matter in eternity

Panalong Takbo at Lakad sa HK At Macau

This weekend till yesterday I had opportunity to go to Hongkong and Macau for business & pleasure purposes with my nielsen family. For 3 days we were able to do a lot of activities together. Adventuring what bus to ride, walk in the cold, get lost in MTR, tumawad sa ladies market, maghanap ng matinong cr. be amazed at buildings and infrastructures in macau, hundreds of picture taking, low batt, no load, shop! shop! shop!, awed with cable car, exercise your leg muscles, practice kindness, patience, love and most of all faith. It was a mix of laugh, sigh, freeze, action and excitement. I think my officemates would agree with me that what happened from day 1 to last will always be remembered big time. Kahit san ata ako makarating. I just thank the Lord I was there and now am home. Pictures coming in the next days. I just want to blog. I miss FB, Multiply, Gmail and chats. Ti...

Hindi mo alam, pero ang alam mo...magiging okay ka rin.

Hindi mo alam kailan mangyayari yung masakit na katotohanan. Darating na lang, malalaman mo, tapos "poker-face" ka. Tulala. Gulat. Tipong sa oras na nalaman mo, hindi mo alam anong mauunang emosyon, malulungkot ba o magagalit o maluluha o uunawain mo. Pero sa totoo lang ang una mong gagawin, magpaka-normal. Sumabay sa agos, kung ano yung hinihingi ng sitwasyon, dapat yun ka. Mahirap yun a, pero gagawin mo kasi yun ang dapat. Saka mo na lang isisigaw sa hangin o iiyak kay Lord yung nasa loob mo. Minsan busy ka, hindi mo na naiyak kaya iischedule mo na lang. Partida busy ka na pero alam mo masakit. Naiisip mo na masakit pagsakay mo ng elevator, MRT, bus, fx o kapag tahimik na. I-sshare mo sa ilan mong kakilala kasi hindi mo kayang itago na sa'yo lang. Sasabihin nila sa iyo, kamusta ka? Anong reaksyon mo? Iniyak mo na ba? Okay lang yan. You'll feel better but not completely. Matutulog ka na dapat tapos magbabalik sa isip mo yung moment na sinabi ng close friend mo na m...
