in these kind of times nakakaguilty ang maging makasarili when you could be doing something selfless for other people with what you have and with where you are.
nung mga panahong bumabagyo at isa rin ako sa mga sumuong sa hanggang bewang na baha sa bandang sta. mesa the only thing that was running through my mind was i need to get home safely at sana hindi mabasa yung bag ko dahil dala ko sina matilda at lucinda. maayos naman akong nakarating ng bahay and i congratulated myself for being successful in my first and hopefully last baha encounter. but what happened during the next couple of days was worst, not for me but for most people na sobrang grabe ng mga pinagdaanan dahil kay ondoy, compared to what i've experienced walang wala yung nangyari sakin. sobrang panis! at least ako may inuwian pang bahay, may kama pang nahigaan sa pag tulog at may damit pang isunuot the next day. sila walang natira. tinangay na lahat ng baha.
sa ganitong mga pagkakataon napapatunayan ang tibay ng loob ng mga pinoy, and amidst what's happening lumalabas din ang pagiging bayani ng bawat isa sa atin, doing what we can to help and with what we have. wala munang ako at sila, tayo muna lahat dapat. i was able to help a couple of times with our show's feeding program and relief operations in the different areas affected by the flood and with what i saw and experienced i had mixed emotions. grateful, that me and my loved ones are alive and with a roof over our heads, food on the table, and clothes behind our backs but also sad for those who weren't fortunate enough like us.
sa isang banda i'm also thankful na na-experience kong makatulong kahit sa maliit na paraan, at nakita ko rin first hand yung mga naging biktima ng bagyo. i also had this touching little episode sa isang evacuation area sa quezon city, there was this 9 or 10 year old boy na pag dating pa lang ng truck namin was eagerly watching us hand down the packs of cooked food and water bottles to be distributed to the evacuees. i happened to catch his eye, he looked at me pleadingly and asked me to hand him kahit isang pack lang nung pagkain. i wanted to give him na right then and there but i had to tell him to wait and line up when the goods get distributed, all i could do was give him this big bottle of water left from the box. i handed it to him and it was way too big for him to carry but he gladly accepted it. later on when we were almost finished and the goods where already being doled out he came back to the truck holding food and water in both arms, he smiled really wide and beamed, "Ate, thank you ha!" i smiled and mutter a silent thank you in return. muntik na 'ko maiyak nun pinigilan ko lang kasi baka asarin ako ng mga kasama ko. yung moment na yun with the little kid was more than enough for me, i should be the one thanking him for that experience.
ayokong dun na lang matapos yung mga ganong episode sa buhay ko, alam ko i could do more for others and i need to go out there to pursue it. ayokong ma-stuck na lang kung asan man ako ngayon, worrying over contestants for the next day when i could be doing something else for other people who need me more.
