September is a memorable day for us Filipinos. Many of my country men suffered from cold, hunger, losing homes and the worst, losing their loved ones.

I could still recall…

Friday night when the rain was still going on…Together with my friend, Tata  before going home, we headed to the SM Supermarket Makati to buy groceries. We didn’t even had intention to buy them for the preparation because of the coming typhoon “Ondoy”. We bought some rice cakes, loaf bread, sandwich spread, canned goods, juices, etc. The rain didn’t stop that night that whole day and Tata decided to sleep in our apartment since she lives in Cavite, a more than an hour of travel from Makati City.

I could still remember playing and walking in the rain that night.

However, without any idea, the next day went tragical.
