My hands were busy through the day

I did not have much time to play

The little games you asked me to

I'd wash your clothes ; sew and cook

But when you'd bring your picture book

And ask me please to share your fun

I would say, "A little later, son."

I'd tuck you in all safe at night

And hear your prayers, turn out the light

Then tiptoe softly to the door,

I wish I could have a minute more

For life is short and years rush past

No longer is he at your side

His precious secrets to confide

The picture books are put away

There are no more children's games to play

No goodnight kiss, no prayers to hear

That all belongs to yesteryears

my hands once busy, now lie still

The days are long and hard to fill

I wish I might go back and do 

The little things you asked me to

          Whoa! Yesterday came a heavy rain. There were lightnings and thunder. Suddenly, a flood came resulting to a landslide. Sadly, my brother was still outside. We're very worried. What if he got drowned? He don't  know how to swim. Our worries stopped when we remember that God will help us. We were so glad when  he  arrived home safely. He was so wet and covered with mud. My mother scolded him, for not going home before the rain starts. My brother said: My experienced was so remarkable because I was able to save a child.

          He said "The flood was really high... it reached under my chin." The affected residents tried to salvage  their appliances. Even taxis were covered with water, only the taxi sign can be seen. Guess what,? I even helped the rescuing team. As they carried the children to a  higher place, I acted as a guide. He further said, while helping the children, he didn't notice that his cellphone got wet and now it's  already destroyed. 

          My mother again got mad upon knowing that his cellphone malfunctioned. I advised  my mother not to  worry because my brother did the best option, i.e. by helping the residents during  that fortuitous event. 

          Human being is more important than gadgets, right?

          Oh! what a terrible but heart fulfilling experience... 

     Oh! What an awful day!... We don't have anything to drink nor to bathe ourselves. First we thought that it was just a delayed or anything, cause our place in on top, water supply easily flow in our pipeline. But it was past 24 hours already and we still don't have any water supply. We really waited... so that we can clean ourselves and have some water to drink.
     Last night, at around 2: 00 A.M., my brother's friend posted in the Facebook saying that there's already water. So  my brothers ran to the tab to take a bath, my cousin brushed his teeth while my mother filled up tumblers and pitchers so that we have something to use if it will run out again. But it only lasted for a few hours, and around 5:30am, the water supply runs out again. Thanks to God that my mother save some water to drink.

     Today, like yesterday, the whole community were waiting again for the water suply. See how important water was. I've learned two things about this experience:... first, you don't know how important a thing is until it is already gone (while the supply is enough, we tend to abuse it). So, let us conserve water. Second, if you plant something, you have something to harvest....
