We have just transferred to this new place of ours not so many months ago. At the advent of the rainy season, I was kind of concern at our old place as it was many times flooded. There were times when only our yaya and my baby were left in the house when flood came and they didn't know what to do. Those little flooding made me decide to look for a new place and would search in elevated areas so we wont have any problem of flood when it rains. True to my worries , the old place we had occupied was flooded yesterday due to Ondoy and the water was up to neck level. Imagine how scary it could be if we are still there. I thank the Lord for working ways on us as always.

Praise God! you are not affected on this calamities some encountered in your place. God is sooo good. I will just continue to pray for those people who are now in distress.
It's mind-numbing when Mother Nature strikes. I'm glad you're safe, sis.
thanks God at save po kayo dyan. Kami din ok lang din kami dito. kawawa nga ang mga tao sa Metro Manila ang dami pa ring stranded at namamatay sa ngayon umabaot na hanggang 80 dead people at marami pa rin ang nawawala. Sana marescue na yong ibang mga tao na hanggang ngayon ay stranded pa rin sa ibabaw ng bubong nila.
