Thankfully, typhoon “Pepeng” (international name: Parma) seems to have gone in another direction so what was feared to be yet another super typhoon didn’t do as much damage as the typhoon Ketsana.
I couldn’t say the same however for those areas that was directly affected. I’m just hoping that we don’t lose any more lives. It’s bad enough that this country, being a third world country, is already dealing with so much sh** on a daily basis even before these calamities have hit us.
So many people are saying that this is probably a wake up call for us -- so that we should be more disciplined and caring of our environment. If only everyone would actually realize that. However, when I hear news about people stealing and taking advantage of other people’s misfortune, it just makes me feel sad, frustrated and even pessimistic.
I am nonetheless proud of how in the face of adversities, there are still more people who are willing to lend a helping hand. Many would even risk their own lives to save other people. If only we would remain solid, selfless, compassionate and vigilant even after when this tragedy is over, I’m sure we could gradually recover and even progress.
I am still an idealistic fool I suppose, but you never know…
