Our House is Still a Home

Here are the photos of how typhoon Ondoy (Ketsana) devastated our properties:


Dad's car and my brother's sank into the deeps. Good thing that my brother drove the SUV to work, got stranded in EDSA, and was able to at least 'save' one vehicle.



Drum sets and blankets



Bye-bye, amplifier. No more noisy jamming at home. For now.



Bye-bye books and a whole lotta documents.



Dirt, mud, and bacteria



Our heavy, leather sofa made its way to the kitchen. A traveler, indeed.



Bye-bye study room.



The real dirty kitchen.



Our dirty kitchen... at its dirtiest.



Some of the beautiful people in our presently ugly house (soon to be a pretty, cozy home once again):


My mom forcing a smile... she sheds tears every second as she rummages through the ruins.



My sibs... who've been surprisingly masipag all throughout the cleaning and clearing stage!


My little sister cheering big brother up

  2. Things will get better! We were mostly spared by the horrible storms (Ondoy and Pepeng). but a lot of my closest friends still have "underwater homes". I think we've all been devastated in varying degrees. I hope things look up for you and your family soon.

    at least on the good side you are all safe. i know that it's hard to see all your belongings that was ravaged by the flood, but the greatest treasure is knowing that your family is safe & sound.

    hope you'll be able to finish the clean up. Just keep smiling,hun

  6. That look pretty bad. Must be hard for you and your family to go through that. But there is a saying....what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger.
