another first entry - Ondoy

I am a murderer. I killed this blog a year ago, when I discovered posting blogs/notes in www.multiply.com have better viewership. Then I realized, some thoughts are better hidden than exposed.

As my first entry (again), I am writing about the recent phenomenon called "Ondoy" who stuck the Philippines by storm (literally).

I saw gazillion posts in Facebook. Why not?! People are affected, bothered, in deep shit, suffering, helping. Finally Manny Pacquiao has a rival in Ondoy. Finally something made us unite, in spite of political crap.

Last Thursday at the Megatent Relief Center, I saw different kinds of people. Disabled, normal, old young, ordinary people, actors and actresses. Dennis Trillo carrying boxes of goods, Bianca Gonzales (siya ba talaga yun?) with other volunteers.

Ondoy was really a showdown of intrigues. There was our beloved Freaksident flying to Iligan and Cagayan de Oro to attend some matters. Madam it's hell here in the Metro! And then I suddenly thought of somethings. Maybe Madam Freaksident doesn't want to shadow her main man for next year's election, Mr. Teodoro. Besides she's in exit mode, no more drive to perform.

But, where the hell is Mr. Fernando? After being voted out by his party as the standard bearer for the top post, he wore his invisibility cloak and no where to be found. But, wait! I opened the radio, and there he was. Ad campaign, after the other. He is still running for President next year. But, has forgotten his duties as MMDA Chair. I dunno the exact details. But, I really can't feel Mr. PR lately. Aww maybe he really is depressed and disappointed. Hey! You have work to do!

Showbiz, people are pretty frenzy about what Gerald Anderson did to his neighbors. Helping here and there with his brother. Yep I believe it's kinda brave. Two thumbs up Jr.

The most controversial: Richard Gutierrez. People did not have the courage to mum on him. Being first in line to the rescue with his jetski, he only (allegedly) went to save fellow celebrity Christine Reyes, while ordinary people were crying for help.

Relief and rescue operations are still going on right now. Please help! Log on to your Facebook account and you'll definitely see information on how to help. Believe me, it pays well while on the field helping people in need.

Seriously, I hope it won't take disaster or any event to make us one. We are all heroes here (it's given), I hope we can be heroes not just after an event like Ondoy. We can be heroes everyday.
