When Flood Has Come, Philippines Fall.

Well, not literally, I just hate the fact that or country is falling. There is no food, shelter, clothes, medicines.. Safety was given a little bit, but these are all in the Evacuation center, how I wish people will get better soon. :(

How you guys heard of "Helena", she's just a Heavy Rain and Strong Wind of Weather in this country. S/he wasn't called Typhoon, but what did s/he do in our country? Well, this is what she did:

EDIT: Helena was the incoming typhoon, the UnNamed Typhoon was the who cause the disaster, same as Typhoon Ondoy. Not Helena! [Oh yeah, I also edited the "She" Parts to S/he because of the UnNamed Typhoon SLASH Habagat. :) ]

<You Know what? I can't find any decent pictures for this blog. Know why? Because Internet is being a bitch turtle. Yeah, that's what it is. So I can't post any pictures right now. Sorry about that.>

A/N: Oh yeah, when I searched about typhoons and Helena, there was about Typhoon Sendong, and I think he went to this country last time, I just don't know when. :/ 

Remember Typhoon Ondoy [Internationally known "Ketsana", woot.]? Yeah, that's what Helena Mr. Habagat (Monsoon) did  here, too. Same way as he did it to us. Only he's worse, Helena Mr.Habagat doesn't take much damage but the result looks the same way as Typhoon Ondoy. 

Anyway, s/he has been here for almost a week. Some schools, probably in Provinces (North Luzon) and Manila (low-leveled Places) will be suspended because, of yeah-- FLOOD. There are no foods, chairs, desks, room, electricity.. Families, children, their pets-- are all stranded in roof tops. The Red Cross was already telling and spreading everyone, if they want to be rescued, put a white t-shirt or any big white cloth that can be seen on  their roofs, so that people who are in Helicopters will see them. 

To tell you the truth, this Heavy Rain Helen Mr. Monsoon [Please be noted she is NOT A TYPHOON- well, that's what they said] has entered our territory since a week ago, but with the Intermittent Rainfall, meaning On-Off Rain there are schools still on-going classes. What pisses us that some schools aren't suspending because they rely on the Mayor of Manila [One example is our school, but I won't mention it. Sorry! :) ]. Good thing we got home safe, I tell you that. But our neighboring school had already suspended their classes since that morning [this happened August 6, 2012, Monday], what's wrong with it is that its our duty day! We are all wearing our white uniform and stuff, there's another exam coming on 3pm about Philippine Government. We would like to go to school to get over it, but we don't like going to school either because we thought that it might get flooded. Seriously, if your in our school, once you see that heavy rain.. You're going to wish you'd wanna leave the school-- SOON. But anyway, we should cut this story and move it to the next post, alright? I hope you don't mind, its  a separate topic. LOL, joke. I just wanna post this on different post.

BACK ON TOPIC

Well, Helen Mr. Monsoon has been a menace to any parts of the Philippines. Just in Luzon; Visayas and Mindanao aren't that affected by the heavy rainfall, I think. Since s/he's been a menacing rain, our people are already suffering because the lack of resources. Until one day, my classmate post a message on our group that how about we make an Outreach Program? For all the people who are victims in the specified regions. Gladly my classmates would love to do it, all we can do now is set the date, time, and place. I just hope its going to be a great success, and I just really, REALLY hope it doesn't affect my class schedule. Free time is the only way you can go to the Plan. But anyway, whether I go or not, I just wished that when they received the Relief Goods, they are already making a way to be better. Like they are no longer hungry, there are no people getting sick, and there are no more people freezing because of the weather.
