I remember the time when I arrived in Tanauan 3 days after the Super Typhoon, my heart was in so much pain seeing my fellow Tanauanons with wreckage homes, in hunger, wounded and seeing dead bodies anywhere. I want to CRY!, I want to shout so Loud WHY!!!., Why some lives had to be taken, why Just lost everything but not the life of our love ones. I did not want that moment to be remembered, I dont want to talk it about. I did not took any pictures. I dont want to open my gallery seeing pictures of how this tragedy affects the simple way of living of my family, relatives and my fellowmen. If only that part of memory can be deleted, I will. But everytime, I will come, visit my town I realized that it was the reality, that it was not just a bad dream,that it happened, that it is needed to be accepted, that they will never ever forget the traumatic experience, the stories of their survival. What had happened will always remind us on how they cope and how brave they are to overcome this terrible event of their life. This is my 3rd vacation after Yolanda hits Leyte and I can see that step by step they are rising from the fall. I apologized to my friends i havent meet during my vacation, Babawi ako next time coz I spend my days with my family and this children. Seeing smiles on their faces, you will never think that behind it... 7 months ago,.. they had fought for their life, that they survived, that at an early age they experienced what they should not, loosing everything, loosing someone which was the saddest thing in life more so in a tragic way. I may not have expensive gifts for them but I spend my time with them, I play with them, laugh and have fun with them, Let them feel that they are children nothing to worry about,that everything will come back into normal. That it will not happen again, I pray. I can still feel on them the effect of being traumatized, my youngest brother cover his ears, whenever strong wind blows and heavy rain pours, It did really affects not just everything that sorrounds them but in terms of personality, as children there is still fear, they will bring the memory as they grow hoping that it will make them stronger and Great Faith in GOD. I am so thankful that there are good hearted people, NGOs, volunteers who are not tired on helping us. Thank you to all my friends, co workers, relatives who were at my side during my Down moments. We had encountered lots of problems, therefore I am sure we can do this, we can make it! with GOD overflowing goodness, Faith and Trust to HIM. Tindog Tanauan! Be THANKFUL we had not experienced what they had
