Memories

As the cleaning and taaking out all the garbage that was left by Ondoy.. and still after two months we are cleaning hehehehe..  

I've seen my precious memories go to waste.  Pictures that I've kept for so long.  Pictures that I am very very proud of.  Pictures that I was planning to show my lil kid.. now gone.. lusaw.. nababad sa tubig.. at di lang basta tubig.. tubig ilog to.. ambaho.. maputik..

One by one i scavanged the pile of pictures.. I saw little hope.. Those pictures when I was a child.. picture ng mga lolo at lola, mga tito tita, mga pinsan, mga kalaro, ng mga naging birthday party

when I was in grade school (Marikina Catholic School).. nung nasa Boy Scouts.. mga retreat.. mga field trip.. mr. & ms MCS..

when I was with the Youth Ministry.. youth camps.. the World youth Day.. choirs..outings..
when I was with the Columbian Squires.. conventions in Isabela and Subic.. meetings..

And many many more.. These were all lost.  Though a few were gathered from the pile.  i tried to revive them by scanning and saving.. maybe I should have done this a long time ago.. who would have known that this storm named Ondoy will drown them all..


 

Update

Have I mentioned that I'm back working for *bleep* company?  Well I am.  After seven months of no regular work.. job hunting.. worrying.. tambaying (hehe para may ING pa din sa huli) .. 


I received a text message last September 26, 2009 10:30am.  
"Manuel this is *bleep*.  Text me back when I can call you."

Huh? si *bleep* magtetext sa akin?  Mukhang may nanloloko ah .. hehe dahil gawin ko na dati ito, hindi ako naniwala kaagad.


FLASHBACK!
The day before we were relieved from our work, those who were affected received a call or a text from the HR.  The mood in the office was happy and lively.  Nagkukulitan lang mga tao, not knowing what lies ahead.  As I received the call I didn't ask anything.  "Opo dadating ako bukas", un lang sagot ko.  Almost all of us received a call from the HR.  Then one friend/office mate was asking why she didn't received any call.  HMMMMMMM.. gusto mo makatanggap ng tawag ha.. hehehehehe.. I texted her saying that she needs to report to the "location".  Ganun kasimple, pero pormal ang pagkakatext ko.  Then I heard her that she also got the text message.  She was asking evryone about the text she had received.  I just watched her, waiting for her next step.  Oh my, she was walking towards the place of our manager.. hehehehe lagot ka Binggoy.. I immediately texted her.. "si Binggoy ito". hehehehe so ayun na.. tawanan na kami :P


I texted all my friends and former officemates.  Baka may mambibiktima sa akin mahirap na.. hahahaha.  I even texted my manager.  A few replied and confirmed that the number used to text me was that of *bleep*, even my former manager confirmed it.. oh yeahh.. tama siya nga.. pero teka.. ano ba at itinext niya ako .. Excited na ako .. and I told my wife.. she said, "hon baka babalik ka na dito sa *bleep*".  


and then I was re-hired ..
