flood

there are a lot of things i can name why i love my native town. it's not only because i grew up in angono... it's because part of me reflects the town itself... or maybe it's because of its rich culture and tradition... or probably, i'm too comfortable with the place. it's not a big town because it used to be a small sitio of binangonan. it's already commercialized because you can find a lot of fast food chains and hotel and resorts in the area... even a casino and a golf course... di mo na nga masabing probinsya e... kundi mo lang mare-realize kung gaano katagal ang biyahe galing manila.

on the down side of it all, one thing i hate about the area is when it rains really hard it floods and it's not just any ordinary flood. it's a huge one that sudmerges the entire town... well... that is too exaggerated... of course, the high areas are not affected. too bad, we live in the lower area of the town. so its like a basin that catches all the water from the high places.

yesterday while i was at work, it rained hard in makati not realizing it also rained hard in our place. my mom texted me that our area was flooded and it went inside our house. geez... my mom was alone and no one will help her to put our appliances and furnitures in a safe place where it will not be wet. i felt bad that i was not there for her... that she was all alone.

something i really hate is being helpless to be there for someone not only for my mom. its the 2nd time this happened. the first incident was when i had a minor operation and my mom was left alone outside the operating room. geez... i really hate that feeling... i just hope that we can move to a place that doesn't flood whenever there is a heavy rain. i just hope it's soon... very soon.
