The Aftermath

09-27-2009 Sunday

It's not raining anymore when I woke up this morning. After I opened my eyes, I searched for Alex and found him sleeping soundly on the floor. I looked outside the window, similar to what I did yesterday and I noticed that I'm starting to have that habit ever since the typhoon hit us. The sun is starting to show itself from behind the clouds and I thought that maybe the storm is over.

Well, yeah it was over, but when you check the daily news, you'll see the aftermath of the storm and you'll feel like it wasn't over for those people who were affected the most. It wasn't over for those people who has lost someone or worse, who has lost a someone and a home. The storm could be over but for them, it'll take awhile to put the pieces back together.

I managed to go online to also get an update about what's going on in the minds of everyone. Most of my friends on the online community are sympathizing and trying to help out, while the others posted news about the storm, and so on. Some, sadly, are just trying to show that they care somehow, but I couldn't decide if it's sincerity or they're just thinking that sympathizing is also a trend in a time like this. Honestly, some people are that hungry for attention, believe me. Want proof? I came across a photo album titled after the typhoon and I checked it out, thinking that I will see some devastating photos of the affected areas, but turns out, it's just some narcissist posing in front of the camera, making the affected area a background instead of the subject. Hey, I thought that's what the title is all about? Narcissism should be a crime, as well as what do they call it, cam bitching? Cam fucking? What's that term? God, whatever it is, it's all about posting million photos of oneself as if you're a fucking celebrity and it's just so goddamn irritating.

Good thing, I was able to check out a neat photo album that really gives everyone a glimpse of the fury of the typhoon, instead of a narcissistic fool. These are photos that expresses a thousand unspoken words and viewing it all is enough to break your heart. Here's the link:

THE PHILIPPINES IN A STATE OF CALAMITY

I don't wanna post the pictures here since I'm not the one who took those photos and I don't take credit for the work of other so I'm giving the credit to the one who deserved it.

When I saw the photos, I noticed that there are animals who died and needed help also, and being the animal lover that I am, I feel sad for the animals as well.

It's a painful ordeal that the entire country has to go through. It's not just only for those affected, but it's for everyone who lives in this country. Let's do our part to help. It ain't that hard to reach out a helping hand to help build the pieces again.
