Thursday morn

Feeling a bit sluggish today probably due to the weather. It's grey the whole day because of the super typhoon. Classes have been suspended and some parts of the country has already been lashed out. Sad really, I don't think we're ready for another one immediately after Milenyo. I don't think we'll ever be ready for disasters this scale. The government just can't rely on sheer volunteer work after a disaster occurred. You have to have a disaster management plan (this we have), that is working (hmm, not sure about this). I'm aware that we can't fully blame the government whenever people gets killed (except for the increasing number of dead activists/journalists--for this, the present government is all to blame), some surely are stubborn and won't leave their houses or their sources of livelihood. Perhaps, it's better to be flown away with their anahaw roof or be awashed with the trusty, old kalabaw, than suffer from this bitter life. But hey, isn't there an adage that as long as you're alive there is you know what...sht.

Me, I count my blessings. I'm extremely thankful that I'm given another day to blog, to breathe the polluted Manila air, to say hi to friends across the globe, to spend the day with loved ones. Isn't it obvious that I have a full day at home? Bummer.
