Rain rain go away........I bet almost all the kids who know this song is singing it right now...
I am blessed that I live on the 8th floor and our company declared 'no work' yesterday and today but I still try to keep updated by watching the news and reading posts on social networking sites.
Aside from the usual emergency reminders, here are some random thoughts that is running on my mind and I wish to share to everybody:
- If you can avoid calling delivery service, please try to do so.. Imagine the risk that delivery boy would take just to deliver your food/service
- Be considerate. Some ask for help and they wanted it to come right away. As Red Cross Director said, in times like this they prioritize those who are really in need. If you experience flood but on a safer place please understand that rescuers will save those who are really in danger and will take into consideration the women, children and the vulnerable
- for those giving relief goods,. PLEASE give out items that can still be used. Some people donate things just to dispose 'trash' on their closet. Imagine if you were on the receiver's shoes..
- Stop sending/spreading malicious, exaggerated txt msgs and posts on social networking sites. It causes panic and definitely doesn't help
- Lastly keep in mind the spirit of Bayanihan. Remember : BAHA KA LANG..PILIPINO AKO..
Stay safe and keep praying everyone.. Take care
