I know your secret identity.

We're not strangers to flood. We've experienced spending a whole night on the rooftop just trying to keep our sanity while everything we own got destroyed. It happened 3 times before but surprisingly, it didn't happen with Ondoy.
I'm thankful but there's a hole in my heart because while we're safe and our possessions are still intact, there are a lot of other people who suffered.
My parents are kind of obsessed with anything that's related to Ondoy, they read newspaper articles, they listen to radio programs and try as I might to disconnect myself from all of it I can't because it happened to us before and I know how hopelessness felt like.
So I talked to my parents and told them that watching and reading and listening about the aftermath of Ondoy would not help the people who suffered. We have to do something.
Tomorrow we'll be donating what we can to help.
It's the best money I've spent in a long long time.

On a lighter note, goodbye Philippines.
