Reckoning

T'was 7pm, Tuesday (with no electric power all day), I was already in bed getting ready to sleep. So nice to be comfy and warm inside, as Pedring beat and pound on the roof.

At 8pm, I heard my brother talking to my mother that some dam broke and Pantabangan Dam releasing water. As I hurried down the 3flight of stairs, I saw the coming of the water onto the tiled floor. On instinct, frantically, I hauled everything that could be reach by water and placed it on the landing of the second floor. My brother's already working with the heavier stuff. 15 minutes passed, the water's already 2 feet deep in the living room.

I went to my mother's room, she has her room downstairs, emptied the big cabinet of clothes, blankets, towels and stacked them high on the topmost part. Not one minute done, and here comes the water lapping at my feet. Disbelieving, told my mother and my youngest to go to my brother's 2nd floor apartment, over the garage.

Alone in my house, I retraced my steps back to the living room with waist - deep water and sat on the landing, praying to spare the 2nd floor. Through prayers, the water stopped rising 2inches short to the place where i sat. Finally, at 11pm, sure that the water's ebbing out, i went to sleep.

It took another day for the flood to subside. Gov't agencies came. Gone. Relief goods came. Gone. Media too. Wonder if I can see myself in TV? Get notice, be famous LOL.

Seriously, was it a God's pat on the back, that he alone can control nature that can affect our lives. For the past countless years, I neglected a lot of things from God. To requite, I'll humble myself and pray fervently as I've never done for a long time....

"Forgive me Father for my sins committed against your will......"
........Amen.

 It's really scary for me seeing all the natural tragedies now on the news. I asked my dad was it always been like that before he said yes. Like 1947...
Greatest feelings in the world when two souls profess a love for each other...

Sis, though we've seen quite enough of these, still, your senses numbed, cant react fast enough, when it stopped right at your doorstep.

..all the appreciation for surviving and a lease to a new life, aftermath.
