SURVIVING SUPER TYPHOON YOLANDA’S FEROCITY

Image
It was the most terrible experience I’ve ever had in my twenty seven years of existence in the world travelling from my home Balut Island going to General Santos City. I thought I could not see the wonderful  world that time. The dreadful feeling while on the vessel that time made me realized how difficult it is to travel. It was like you are facing death every moment you step on the vessel. You will always have the fear what life awaits as you cross the vast ocean of Balut Island and  Sarangani. The ferocious growl of the wind, the sharp and edgy drops of the rain coordinated with giant waves made my trip fearful.                           November 7, 2013 6:45 AM I woke up late in the morning feeling in pain of throat and some parts of my body due to stress of visiting a house of one of the students at night of November 6,  as part of our responsibility as teacher that you really...

ANOTHER YEAR, ANOTHER CELEBRATION

Time is fleeting, time is ephemeral time ends. God has been so good in to me since then. He has given me all the things I desire in my heart. It’s anot her year of my life. Another celebration of the most memorable day of my life, my natal day. I couldn’t imagine that I could survive those difficulties and struggles. Life seems to be vague and hazy ten years ago. I thought I couldn’t make it yet here I am standing stood still. How Great is the Lord. Last year’s celebration is quite different. Cakes from my students, flowers everywhere and of course unending smiles from the people who extended their sincere greetings. Now, I don’t what will be the next. I know it would be not be the same as the other year. What I wish now is a bountiful blessings not a thing but more blessings to God; more knowledge so that I could share it  to the  many. Then of course to have someone that I could be my shoulder to cry on, to lean on,  a person who would love me as who ...
