      This is far from my place my friend. Unfortunately, not everyone was safe. Some died from muddy flashfloods. :(

      Thanks for dropping by and Merry Christmas :)

    i read in your comment that all your loved ones there are safe. glad to hear it. that must have been so scary.

      Hi Pix and Kardz, thanks for dropping by as always. Yeah the place where it took place is far from our area. Thanks for your thoughts. Scary indeed. The reason why many were dead was because it happened late at night and most of them were already fast asleep. Just days to go and it’s Christmas but this happened, so sad especially to all those affected :(

  4. Sad, painful, heart breaking. I can hardly look at it too long. Sometimes I wonder why this has to happen , and I do know most of this people are already living hard lives , and then it happened before Christmas. Life seems not fair. They will be in my thoughts and prayers. Happy Holidays and best to you and your love ones.

      Thanks my friend for your usual generous you. Indeed this is very sad as Christmas is just days to go and this had to happen. Life may not be fair and we may not understand the reasons why this had to happen but there must be a reason behind this and in everything, there is always a reason why things happen.

      Merry Christmas to you too and to your family. Cheers to the coming New Year!

    Arvee i am going to echo what IT said. It’s really painful, sad & hard breaking. May god give these people enough strength to fight to this. It’s more painful, because- it happened just few days before Christmas.

    • aRVee says:

      I agree with you. This is even more painful as Christmas is just days to go. Just so sad for these people and I always have that same wish that hopefully the’ll have enough strength to fight this tragedy. Thanks for dropping by Arindam and Merry Christmas! :)

    I was devastated when I saw this on T.V. My sympathies and prayers to the victims.

  7. aRVee says:

    Yeah, this is just so sad and I hope that these people will still manage to feel the joy of Christmas which is just 2 days to go before Christmas Eve

    Merry Christmas my friend! :)

  8. I’m living in Cagayan de Oro right now though I’m not really from here. Thank God our place was not washed out by Sendong but for those who were hit badly were really struggling. They need help and good thing is many Filipinos are helping from all over the country.

    • aRVee says:

      Good to know you were not that affected but sad to learn that many died from this typhoon. Hopefully, everyone recovers fast. Yeah glad to know that many of our countrymen work hand in hand to help those in need. I think life is not that easy for some as electricity and water are scarce or not available, so it must be very hard. :(

      Thanks for dropping by Liberzon S. Nice to have you here. Merry Christmas :)
