We went to Tacloban last month to visit communities devastated by Yolanda.
One of them is an association of a mangrove park. They have reforested the area after the typhoon struck. Now they fear a causeway— and the possible reclamations after this— would threaten their efforts.
At a time when many of the survivors of Super Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) in Tacloban City left, he stayed. As stories go, those who stayed were the ones burdened to scour the earth and waters.

i think i will never fully understand how a person who loved you *that* much can also be the same person who is now indifferent to you.
there’s a huge, dark valley between ‘i love you’ and ‘but.’
everyday i have to walk through it.
“Somewhere between ‘I love you’ and ‘but’ is mankind, a giant loneliness strolling through an even greater loneliness.”

I get tired of reading "said."
I get tired of writing "said."
If the book is full of nothing but "said," it makes me feel like the writer is unimaginative, and I might have trouble finishing their story.
Just saying.

My dad, who is the most cautious in the family, ~let his guard down~ & dined indoors with my mom and brother when they were in San Juan on Dec 26 (I stayed at home coz duty). Tested positive last week & he still can't forgive himself for the momentary lapse of judgment.
My cousin who tested positive recounted that she most likely got the virus after dining in (indoors) last holiday break. Her friends got sick too.
Some friends recounted similar experience: indoor dining.
Studies keep on educating us about ventilation over & over again. Ingat!

the pandemic may be “over” (in the way we’re expected to go back to work, schools; the many ways we’re expected to act ‘normal’) but a lot of heartaches and problems and the small, chronic tremors we feel everyday…are side effects of that crisis we’re so keen to forget.
