There's a Filipino saying that goes "Kahit gaano kalalim ang dagat, hanggang dibdib lang ito ng bibi" (No matter how deep the ocean is, it's still breast high for ducks no matter what), (Banderlipe, 2009).
And that is the optimistic side of what is currently going on in Metro Manila. People stranded in the streets and in their cars desperately find ways to seek refuge. Take for instance this,
Two guys pushing around what seems to be Styrofoam along Taft Avenue with two passengers aboard. (Forgive me for the resolution, I used my laptop to take this)
So for being all thankful that I'm all cozy in my room and all the other fortunate crap, I want to say thank you, Lord. Haha.
But who the hell can remain optimistic when you are scared to go hungry? Forgive me for my language, but for all you Taft dormers out there, I'm sure you guys can relate with me. No one will deliver food. And there is no way that I will go through dirty water with a cut on my foot. I'm scared of Leptospirosis. Sorry. And another reason not to remain steady, I'm down to my last 6 cigs.
