Anyway.
Recently the Philippines has been visited again by several typhoons. And during those visits a dreadful memory comes along, ONDOY. Though luckily these recent typhoons didn't cause too much trouble as Ondoy did, still a lot of places became flooded and some life has been lost. It's saddens me when things like this happens but that hasn't been always the case. I remember when i was still going to school what a "good news" it was when a typhoon hits the Philippines (Manila to be specific). Classes would be suspended and i can stay at home doing whatever i want to do. I didn't mind what was going on in other places as long as I get a free day from school. But all that changes when Ondoy came. It wasn't the first time i felt the wrath of a typhoon but it was the first time i felt the consequences a typhoon can bring. For the first time our village became flooded, everyone was caught by surprise. I have always been aware of the many areas in Manila where flood has been a problem but I have never been to any of that area, but this time its different, the flood came to us. It was such an eye opener that what was once a "good news" definitely became a bad news. And the fact is our place didn't even got the worst of it.
