my heart is breaking seeing my beloved submerged in waist-deep water. and what's worse, i feel so helpless not being able to do as much as i want to. yesterday, jan and i were able to drop-off some of the goods i was able to scavenge from other good-hearted people here in the office who were willing to sacrifice their noche buena booty to help a few hungry stomachs in calapan. but it still feels inadequate.
i long to be there. i long to see my friends and know they are okay.
and i do hope things go well here in the office that that may be possible. there are plans to mobilize relief operations and go there on the 22nd. but my flight is on the 22nd as well. and it's so hard to reschedule flights. sigh. so i do hope, hope, hope they would give in to my request.
please pray for my beloved city.

I was there on the 1st flood, visiting my gf outside calapan. Terrified when I heard about the second flood... No there is a third... I have many friends in the village San Rafael near San Teodoro... Hope they are ok.

I stopped by at the Task Force Noah operations. It was nice to see so many students volunteering. Patuloy kong ipinagdarasal ang mga apektadong lugar.
