Isinailalim sa "orange rainfall advisory" ang Metro Manila at mga karatig-lalawigan. Walang pasok ang maraming paaralan sa MM at ilang kalapit na probinsya ngayong Lunes dahil sa walang patid na buhos ng ulan mula pa kagabi. As of this writing yours truly is listening to DZMM Radio via my mom's TFC. I just talked to Issa who can't go to work because of flood and she assured me not to worry because she is prepared at this moment. I'll call her again at around 10 am, Philippine time. Please stay safe, everybody. | |

I was eight and 16 years old when I visited my mom's native land, the Philippines. She said the nation was not flood prone during her time the way it does since tropical storm Ondoy and the Habagat, the latest of which is typhoon Maring, its heavy rain brought by a cold front as the immediate cause of the massive flooding. Manila had a system of creeks or esteros but these waterways were gradually filled up because of the greediness of politicians and businessmen plus the squatters who help in polluting the sea. The devastation of forests, the destruction of natural barriers due to indiscriminate quarrying have led to floods, landslides and mudslides. It was a result of unabated legal and illegal logging and mindless land use conversion. Multitude of man holes were covered during the time of GMA as Filipinos throw out their cartons of their eaten fries as well as the styrofoam and rubbish in the streets. What is so sad is that the people who are affected are ordinary fellows who can barely keep up with their day-to-day living. The high officials who issued permits to logging companies and the owners of these corporations are in the comfort of their homes. A light drizzle easily causes flood waters to rise. If the denizen of the country where my mom was born will take hand in hand and become discipline, maybe the next generation will still see a safer haven of rest. | |

The rain stops yet the danger of high tide is discernible

It's difficult to give my girl a ring as most telecommunications are down at this moment. It took 6-10 times ere I finally learned that her landlady asked her to sleep in their abode tonight because of the possibility of high tide. Her voice is hoarse because of exhaustion as she began saving her stuff 17 hours ago. The water in her place subsides yet the risks of overflowed rivers pose another threat in her life. I am so upset and sad why this should happen to the woman I care a whole lot. She is such a wonderful lady... | |

We said "sleep tight and sweet dreams" as we went to slumber in separate countries. Then at 5:02 this morning (Philippine time), Issa sent me a text message, "Cutiepie, binaha na ako. I love you. Mwuahugs." I phoned her right away and I found out na hanggang tuhod na ang baha sa apartment niya. She secured her TV, washing machine, refrigerator, stove, bed and drawers. Lumulutang ang kanyang sofa at ilang gamit habang basa ang kanyang mga paa since four. I couldn't control my emotion and wept. Pilit akong pinapatawa ni Issa sa kabila nang nararanasan niya. Hindi biro ang flood especially that she's alone. Wala man lang akong magawa right at this moment. Mabuti na lang at magkausap pa rin kami kaya updated ako sa pananalasa ng habagat na si Maring. I love you so much, Issa, please mag-ingat ka palagi. | |

I never loved anyone the way I do for you. Sa iyo ko lang nadama ang ganitong kaligayahan sa tanang buhay ko. Thank you for being my soul mate, my insipration and for being the very best thing that ever happened to me. Please take care always, Issa my precious. | |

Hindi man ikaw ang aking kahapon subalit ikaw ang aking ngayon at nais kitang makasama sa mundong ito habang ako ay nabubuhay, Issa. Salamat sa napakatamis na pagmamahal at sa napakasarap na pagsasalo ng ating pag-ibig. | |

When you meet someone you never imagined you would, you're taken by surprise. You feel delighted, so excited and fortunate that this chance-of-a-lifetime happened to you. That's what I will remember - that wonderful feeling I felt the day I saw you, for it fills my heart to this very moment. I love the magic in you that can somehow always bring a smile to even the most ordinary thing. In you, I've found my soul mate who has just the perfect way of making me fall more and more in love with you each day. | |

Pag-ibig ko sa iyo'y di magbabago - Men Oppose

Kaytagal kitang hinanap-hanap, Hinihintay at pinapangarap; Ngayong nakita ka'y di ako papayag, Na sa piling ko'y mawalay pa.
Bawat naisin mo'y ibibigay sa iyo, Lahat ng gusto mo ay susundin ko; Huwag sanang magbabago, Puso't isipan ko'y para lang sa iyo.
Pag-ibig ko sa iyo'y di na magbabago, Habang tumatagal lalong nag-iibayo; Buong buhay ko'y inaalay sa iyo, Kapag nawala ka'y wala na rin ako.
Ang akala ko'y ika'y pangarap lamang, Di makikita at di masisilayan; Ngayong alam ko na na ikaw ay tunay, Aking mamahalin at di paluluhain.
Bawat naisin mo'y ibibigay sa iyo, Lahat ng gusto mo ay susundin ko; Huwag sanang magbabago, Puso at isipan ko'y para lang sa iyo.
Pag-ibig ko sa iyo di na magbabago, Habang tumatagal lalong nag-iibayo; Buong buhay ko'y iniaalay sa iyo, Kapag nawala ka'y wala na rin ako. ...kapag nawala ka'y wala na rin ako...

MY LOVE, There's something special about your smile that stays with me during our in-between times, and makes me stop what I'm doing and think of you. There's something special about your love that carries me through a hectic day, just knowing you are there... There's something special about you that makes everyday I'm with you one more reason to love the life we share. -A message I personally chose from Carlton Cards Cleveland, Ohio 44144 | |
