My heart goes out to these images. I couldn’t imagine how life could be that easy again.
How do you comfort someone who has lost his dwelling because of the typhoon?
Buried deep in lahar and rocks. Photos were culled from ANC.
How can one start all over again?
Look at that raging flow of mud.
It’s been a while. I am reblogging this here from my main blog Dreams and Escapes. I hope you’ll find time to visit it to. My gosh, I got so excited when I saw it. There are several designs actually and all with Biblical passages. One of the vendors in our subdivision is selling them. […]
I can’t believe I haven’t touched and visited this blog like forever (an exaggeration of course) but I was so focused on updating my main blog so I forgot about this. Early this morning while I was watering the plants, I looked up at our jackfruit trees and saw this. I was hoping I could […]
I am reblogging this here for all its worth. Thank you for reading 🙂 You might wonder how are family has been since my brother was diagnosed with rectal cancer which has metastasised in his liver. Allow me first to thank you all for your prayers and words of comfort. It is helping us a […]
Gosh, I can’t believe it’s been almost a year now since I posted something here. I am always updated with my main blog though, a link of which is attached here. Sharing this photo I took yesterday, we locally call it Lato salad, a appetizer. I love seaweeds and I buy them once in a […]
Nonna’s joy. I think this is the second time I posted a picture of my grandson here. He is turning six this coming November. Time flies. Happy Grandparents’ Day to all proud grandparents like I am.
Gosh. I haven’t updated this site for so long concentrating instead on my main blog Dreams and Escapes. I hope I would be able to post more in the coming days.
This is just my 89th post after three years of blogging. But I have always been updated with my main blog. You can find the link here on the right corner of the blog. I’ve recently took shots of our garden blooms. Summer is here and more blooms could be seen. […]
I have a whole album of quotes that I made into memes. Some are passages from the Bible, some are words from famous people. This is one of them. Gosh, it took me so long to update this blog but I regularly post in my main blog, Dreams and Escapes. Good morning everyone 🙂
I want first of all, to be at peace with myself. I want a singleness of eye, a purity of intention, a central core to my life that will enable me to carry out….obligations and activities as well as I can. I want in fact – to borrow from the language of the Saints – […]

They can’t still assess the damage including lives at the moment. I read somewhere that the calamity is about 70% to that of typhoon Yolanda , the strongest typhoon recorded so far.

Bicol will survive with the known resilience of our people but they also need financial help to start over again.

Such a terrible situation for so many people. The government should be stepping in to give aid, and providing temporary accommodation too.
Best wishes, Pete.

They keep saying those alibis why the president was not around because it was a Sunday as if nature would choose a particular day to hit back. They didn’t have plans to help because their president stayed in Davao despite knowing the oncoming super typhoon. One thing more
Bicol is the bastion of his political enemies like VP Leni, ex-Senator Trillanes and Sen. De Lima whose been in jail for three years without proof or evidence that they accused her of. Sadly Pete, this govt is vindictive.

That must bring you back to your own horrifying experience some years back when you lost everything. You know just how hard it is to come back from that and fear that it might happen again.
