It’s so great to see the sunrise once again! Thank you God for this blessing!

I understand that there are people especially those who were devastated by the tropical storm Ondoy who may never see life the way it was. Those people who have lost their loved ones and their homes, those who are now in evacuation areas waiting for help from the government and their countrymen. But still, life has to go on for all of us.

I went to the office quite early today as I was expecting that there may be some streets that are still flooded in Quezon City. But that was not the case; there were no traffic jam on my way to the office.

When I arrived at the office, I noticed that there were only a handful people going in and out of the office building. There were two trucks situated in front of the building. Then I recalled that one of my officemates told me that the basement was flooded last Saturday. I wondered on how this will affect our jobs.

When I entered the building, I noticed a small notice posted on the wall informing all employees of our account to proceed to our site in Makati! WTF! I immediately called my team leader and she verified the information, I needed to go to Makati. It was now past 6 am and I am expected to log in at 6:30 am! She said that she’ll take care of it. Then I realized that my TL doesn’t have my celphone number.

So I reached our site in Makati at about 7:05 am, thanks to MRT. Then I hurriedly set up my tools and everything else. It was such a hassle but I can never complain. If there’s one thing that I’ve learned from the onslaught of Ondoy, it is to count our blessings. I still have a job, a house and more importantly, I’m alive. Why should I complain?
