the struck of nature

Please be moved by the damage that typhoon ondoy has caused the people in the philippines. May you be touched by the trauma that each and every innocent child has to go through , the homes that these families have lost, the lives that have been sacrificed, the experience that one never dreams. Let us all extend help, in whatever way we could, prayers , anything that will help these people cope such a disaster. I thank God for reliving the kabayanihan in every one during this experience which really helped those who are directly affected.

I am at work ... it's 11:50 am, our time! Every day i get to meet different people from all walks of life..especially so our work caters to the medical needs of the underprivileged sector of the society.But one thing that is very rewarding is the ability to be in touch with them and be able to help them emotionally, though it becomes emotionally draining for me as well. Overall, however, you derive personal satisfaction ...of being of help, tho little it was, for these people. It is overwhelming when one would approach you and thank you for a little time spent with her, listening to her woes! Self-gratifying i would say! We have to be thankful that we do far better than them... at the same time feel sad because why should there be like them!

i was talking to my sister earlier and it makes me realize that it is best to maintain the closeness between siblings because at the end of every situation that one encounters in life, it will always be your family who will be there to listen... to laugh for every joke you crack.. to advise should you be so indecisive. For the past several years, it has always been my family who is on top of my priorities. I was there for my mom and my dad until they eventually joined our Father. Then, there were my siblings who needed my help... how could you say know to them... that i even missed having my own family.... because i was to engrossed? But not a trace of regret was there for having been so ! What is foremost is the ability to be there for my family. You may say that i am still day dreaming to be still hoping that i get to meet the man that i could be with for the rest of my life... to grow old with. Is it impossible to still hope? But life has to go on... isn't it?

...my feelings...

I woke up this morning feeling heavy ... the rains must have something to do with it... and the strong feeling to stay under the sheets and sleep! It was a feeling I just couldn't explain! Does anyone passess through this feeling where all you wanted to do is keep to yourself, no problems and worries to think about... even for this day only? But... you cannot simply deny the fact that, and whether you like it or not, you have to wake up and face the day's activities because you have to...afterall you will not want to leave some people hanging!
