Where do you live? If you live in Talisay, you are very close to my hometown. Here, we are all safe. We just feel bad that a lot of people out there have gone through the flood. I hope your family is well.

I am happy to see that you have a very supportive family and a friend out there who is really eager to help out. I couldn't imagine going through what you are going through. Just like you, I am also working online, and the computer is the most important thing!

Nobody expected at that time that the storm was going to be that massive. I didn't expect it to because prior to that, we had Odette, and we were able to survive that. This one was just on so many levels, not what I expected. It was quite unpredictable because we were expecting the typhoon to hit more of the northern part, but for some reason, it really caused damages to our area too.

It's sad to think that a lot of the misfortunes that happened recently are because of our human intervention and the lack of responsibility by the government. I know for a fact that if you are someone who is resilient, you don't just blame anyone for the problems... you start to bounce back.

I am really proud of you for being able to bounce back and get back to "work mode". It's not that easy, especially for someone like me who gets swayed by emotional problems most of the time. So, I wish you and your family the best. We Hivers are all glad that everyone is safe!
