Me and my highschool barkada didn't got to work yesterday, Tuesday. We went out and checked on our beloved city of Marikina, and give all help that we can offer to those victims of typhoon "Ondoy". It's been 3 days since that tragic incident, but Marikina is still in the stress that is caused by this typhoon. Early Tuesday morning, my mom helped me sort clothes that we can donate, while Cha is busy preparing for food that we can give. Our agenda for the day is to help our own friend clean their place, they were greatly affected by the flood that "Ondoy" brought, nothing was saved, but Thank God their family are all safe.
It was a tiring ride going to Malanday, Marikina, not because of its far from our place, but seeing those families on the streets that lost their homes, really breaks our heart.

I wish I have all the time to volunteer in helping those that are in need. And I pray that everything will be Ok for all of them. I encourage everybody to give help, lets give hope to those who are feeling down right now.

On a cute note, I'm really amazed on how Filipinos handle this crisis. That we can still manage to throw jokes and make fun of each other even though deep inside, we're in pain. Here's a scary yet cute stuffed toy that we saw while cleaning a friend's house. It's full of mud, yeah. :-D
