Hello everyone!
Hope all are safe and well! ☺️❤️🙏
Typhoon Uwan left behind so much destruction in many parts of the Philippines. Watching the news and seeing photos online broke my heart, but it hit differently when it reached my own hometown. Maybe some of you already know that we live just near the sea and that’s why every time there’s a strong typhoon, I can’t help but worry.
When Typhoon Uwan struck, our rest house near the seashore was badly damaged. The waves were strong, and when the storm surge came during high tide, it brought destruction to the area. Thankfully, the main house was spared and still standing strong and for that, I’m truly grateful to God. 🙏
My brother sent me several videos showing the aftermath at home. I couldn’t help but feel both sad and thankful as I watched them. Sad because of the damages, but thankful because no one in the family was hurt. I captured a few photos from the videos he sent to me to share here.
As you can see, the debris and water reached some parts of the rest house. The walls and flooring near the shoreline were damaged due to the strong waves hitting them continuously. It’s painful to see, especially knowing how many memories were built there like family gatherings, quiet mornings by the sea, and moments of peace. 💔
But as my brother said, At least we’re safe, and that’s what matters most. And he’s right. Material things can be fixed or replaced, but life is precious and irreplaceable. 🙏🙏
Right now, my family back home is busy cleaning the aftermath — picking up fallen debris, removing mud, and slowly fixing what they can. It may take time, but I believe in their strength and resilience. We Filipinos have always had that — the ability to smile and move forward no matter how strong the storm is. 💪🇵🇭🙏
Through all of this, I’m reminded once again to always be grateful, even in difficult times. Grateful that my loved ones are safe. Grateful for another chance to rebuild. Grateful that God continues to protect and guide us.
Have a Blessed Wednesday everyone! 😀😀😀💖💖💖
Thank You Lord for the blessings and love!
Be grateful in every little/simple things and you’ll find happiness you ever wanted! 😀😀😀
Everyday is worth to be grateful of!
Praying for the safety and wellness of all.
Heal Our Land Oh God!
