Sem is over! Just finished taking my last exam for the sem this afternoon. Thank you Lord for another sem of guiding me. :)) Looking forward to another wonderful sem!!! Woohoo!!

I had such a wonderful day. Aaaaaaah. After a slightly stressful week, I was able to relax. What a life. :))

I can do it.

One more week to go then I can finally say good bye to Math 2N (Basic Statistics), Psy 107 (Physiological Psychology), Zoo 1 (General Zoology), Fil 2A (Pagbasa at Pagsulat Tungo sa Pananaliksik), and Psy 103 (Developmental Psychology).

I'm so excited to say good bye to Fil 2A. VERY EXCITED. Only 2 more meetings then I will not, never, see my professor again in a classroom.

I'm looking forward to it. \m/

I'm starting to get pissed off. I was not the one who started all of these. That person started these!! Now all that person does is make parinigs.

And so my one-week-surprise-vacation is almost nearing its end. But I still haven't finished reading Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility. Harharhar.

I went home to Pampanga and I really missed staying in a place where total peace and quiet is possible. :)) Now I'm back here in the city, where almost every minute is full of chaos.

I still have 2 (or more?) weeks to go before sembreak. And I sure am looking forward to it because that means, I can go back to Pampanga. :))

CHED just announced that because of the damage typhoon Ondoy left, classes are suspended until Saturday. My parents told me to go home to Pampanga. Tomorrow, I will finally (after 3 months) go home! Yey!!!

I'm sort of half-hearted to go home tomorrow because I want to volunteer and help those who are badly affected. But oh well, my parents requested me to go home. So now, I'm just trying my best to tweet some places where people can donate or help. Visit my twitter site to know how you can help.

We can change the world. Don't ever think that what you're doing is just "a small thing". Remember: without those "small things", there will no "big things".

This is the worst storm I've ever experienced (as far as I can remember). I pity my fellow Filipinos who were stuck in traffic because of the floods and those who needed to evacuate because it's really flooded even in their own homes.

Water slowly "crept" in our house but good thing it's only 'til the soles of the feet; nothing major.

I sometimes get irritated to some people who kept on complaining about their situation:

Why complain? Can't you just say...

We are so blessed. We still have houses where we can be safe and dry. Some Filipinos are just living under the bridge. We are so blessed that power was cut off. At least further damage can be avoided.

My fellow Filipinos, this is the time to be thankful for what we have. This is also the time to stop being so selfish; to stop thinking about ourselves only. There are people who are experiencing a lot worst than what we're experiencing. Let us not indulge in self-pity. Instead of whining, let's just pray for our fellow Filipinos that are REALLY affected because of Ondoy.

To pray is the only thing we can do to help (if you cannot donate relief goods or clothes to those in need). Pray for their strength, for their faith, for their health. Also, pray that they will never forget that even if the Philippines is full of chaos, GOD IS STILL IN CONTROL.

Woke up raining. Dragged myself to school. Fil class. By 10am, classes were suspended.

Carmelli and I decided to take the jeep going to Rizal Ave because we already knew that it's already flooded.

Nung bumaba kami ng jeep, biglang nagbaha na sa tinatapakan namin. Oh my. Namihasa pa ang mga snatchers. Madaming tinututukan na students so they will give the snatchers their phones. We parted ways na because magkaiba kami ng dadaanan. Hindi na ako makatawid because it's already flooded. So tinawag ko na si kuya na nagpepedicab kung pwede ba na ihatid ako sa Sta. Cruz church. Bente daw ang bayad. Pumayag na ako.

Almost 30 minutes ako nakaupo sa pedicab dahil hindi makadaan sa mga jeep yung driver kasi ang traffic. Buti nakadaan din. Super ang ulan. Naihatid na ako sa sakayan ng jeep papunta sa house namin. Imbis na P20 lang ang ibinigay ko sa driver, I gave him P40. Naaawa ako sa kanya. Matanda na siya. Walang bubong yung pedicab niya for his protection. At kapote na butas-butas lang ang suot niya pangcover. Kung may pagkain at extra pera lang ako, I swear, I will give him everything I have.

Texted my mom to fetch me sa kanto ng bahay to give me boots. Good thing she immediately replied and kaagad siya nagpunta.

This is my first time to experience all of these.

Dagdag pa na baha na sa loob, as in LOOB, ng bahay. Hindi lang sa garage, kundi sa loob. Nasa island study table na ako ngayon.

I feel so sad. Wala akong magawa to help. All I can do is pray for everyone.

We are now suffering the consequences of our actions. Dahil sa kawalan ng disiplina ng mga tao sa pagtatapon ng basura, tayo na tuloy ngayon ang nagsusuffer. When will we ever learn? :(
