Two storms pass and everything changes...

I'm still stunned from the sudden calamities that have befallen this country. In the back of my mind I always believed my people needed a wake-up call... but not this kind. I've been in near-death situations myself (a couple years back durin the Milenyo storm) and have suffered the loss of house and home nearly a decade ago... and it is never easy to recover from them.

Still, Filipinos are nothing if not a hardy race. This is a race that spits at dragons in the eye and facedown impossible odds with a song in their heart.

Mabuhay ang bayaning Pilipino!
