    This makes me so sad. I am so tearful for the families and loved ones that are lost and still missing. The lives that were taken by such an uncontrolable tragedy, I feel helpless at times, but I am praying for all of the families. I beleive if we all help eachother and come with open arms.. then we will make it through this.

    The Philippines was spared and it’s truly a blessing. I just hope we are ready kahit na hindi mafoforesee ng maayos ito. It’s so sad na disasters are all over the world nowadays.
