Blowing gales...

Typhoon is churning the sea of Japan and blowing gales so many establishments there cancelled the work and some offices for sure. Reports are no enough foods are available in the supermarkets. This powerful typhoon if not headed toward Japan would hit the Philippines who hasn't recovered yet from Ondoy's great floodwaters. I and my family wasn't spared and still we are left groping from the havoc it brought to us.
The peaceful sea of Japan during my stay...

Hitting rock bottom...

We have so much to be thankful when this strong typhoon headed toward Japan's territory but am not happy though since I love the country so much. The country who have embraced me during my stay there because the people are so warm and so hospitable contrary to some notion, not mine. They are so respectful and that's the main core of my praises. I have had so many nice memories during my three long months of stay there, hoping to get another extension but due to unavoidable circumstances I left in haste with heavy heart. Part of my heart was left there. I love its panoramic countryside blending with their comprehensive view that simply screams the country's well developed and high end technology and booming financial success.

Going back, compared to Japan, financial-wise our people specially in the poorest of the poor areas...they really can't keep up during this kind of havoc. Really Ondoy slammed part of the country with so much force and agitation. This was the very first time I have ever experienced a great deluge...and I said to my mind...the story in the Bible about Noah is something to be scared of. No one will be spared during this kind of catastrophic destruction. Well...nothing we could hold on to but ...faith. Increase our faith, nurture it and have a good grip.
