The Philippines was recently struck by a typhoon named Ondoy.

I was a victim. As a matter of fact, we ALL are.

Yesterday, it was planned that we go to De La Salle University, which was located at the heart of Manila, one of the most flood-prone areas in the country, to submit my application for the coming entrance exams.
While we were on our way, the rain continuously poured. We reached Taft Avenue and thought that our car can't handle the torture already. So, we stopped and waited for the floods to disappear.
The day ended and still, the rain poured. We had to wait 'til the next day, which is today, before we can leave.

Yes, one word.

STRANDED.

All of the roads were flooded. There was no other way home. And at exactly 10:00 this morning, we arrived home, safe and sound.

Our predicament is gone.
Now, I feel sorry for those people, one of which was my friend, whom we lost contact to, suffering due to this storm.
You, people, deserve better.
In fact, our country deserves better.

If and only if we treated Mother Earth to what she deserves, and that is our love and concern.

There's nothing we can do about the weather.
But, we can do something to help the people in need.

Call the hotlines and send your donations.
OR.
Spread the word and let us all ask for help from other people.

This is where we should be wasting our time on.

So, go and spread this or do something to help. With this act, you can probably save lives.
