Nap Time Rocks!

hay ondoy

this was in front of our house

ours is a dead end street, so guess what, it looked like one big bowl of flood/creek water

it took a good one week to clean out the mess, but that’s one thing friends and churchmates are good for (special mention to <insert your names here> hehe). thank goodness for kind hearts.

my brother’s camera phone didn’t have flash and electricity was already out by the time the water inside the house rose to chest deep in some parts and waist deep in some, so no pictures.

many say it’s mother nature’s wake up call. i say it’s God’s. our free will has destroyed so much of what He has given us to enjoy. all the cynics out there will even go to lengths to blame God, but oh well, whenever man has failed he tries to blame it on force majeur, God included. sad, sad.

and to our widely inefficient government who, in the middle of the mess is blaming each one of its members, shut up and do something about our widely inefficient disaster response system, urban planning (as if there’s much you can do now), and the rest of your administration.

i wish you all had drowned in the flood along with all the garbage and rat crap. well, that only goes out to the corrupt and hopelessly insufferable ones. which almost are all government employees.

and for the rest of us, let’s stop being so apathetic and do our part. plastic bags, candy wrappers, cigarette butts and all, we’ve done our fair share of polluting the environment. i bring my own shopping bag (even in grocery shopping), i pocket wrappers and small papers when there’s no trashcan around, and i don’t smoke. we also recycle plastics and paper at home.

what have you done so far?

it ends tonight

like i said, this blog has had nothing new in the last 2-3 weeks. so it ends now. i think, what am i supposed to write about? oh hey, i’ve forgotten, i take pictures too.

blue green is my favorite color. it’s melancholic in a lot of ways, but it’s different.

like how i want my life to be different in so many ways. i think, when will that be? and then,

“It’s never too late to do what is right.” -Charles Swindoll

i think i’ve done something right. i’ve donated blood, scraped up all remaining excess stuff in our house to give away to those who need them more, and did not complain how the stinking floodwater reached up to chest deep to spoil everything my brothers weren’t able to save (meanwhile, mia and i were stranded in Taytay).  but i still feel that it’s not enough.

hay, Lord. when will that be? and then,

“…how many times have I broken your heart? and still You forgive, if only I ask…”

thanks to Ondoy…

the blog is now worth 2 weeks of nothing new :{

i’ve found some self-worth in helping other people

i’ve realized how much the world needs God

i’ve realized how much I need Him

i’ve realized how much (or little) i’ve done to remedy that need
