Default Typhoon Ondoy took all my Jewel Collections away

Typhoon Ondoy's flood waters submerged many towns and cities in Metro Manila on Sept. 26, 2009. It was the worst flash flood that hit my area in Ortigas Extension , Pasig City Philippines.
I was stranded on the top of the roof for two nights. But my agony is nothing compared to the nightmares of other victims that will have to brave through as we all start to pick up the pieces or start from zero again and go back to our normal lives. Many other families will be plagued by nightmares as they try to cope with the loss of their loved ones, their property, their livelihood.
And in my case, all my Jewel Collections (DVD's, VCD's, CD's, Tapes, Magazines, Posters, and everything...) along with all the other important and small things, were taken away from me by the tragedy.

Oh my God Roy that's terrible. At least you're ok. Those things are just things at the end of the day and most can be replaced. You're life is priceless.

Big hugs and take care

Roy that is sad news indeed, but like Kiera said they are just things.

Were all your friends and family ok and how is your home? Can you stay there again? Best wishes to you.

Thanks Kiera.
Thanks Lou.

Hopefully. If it gets back to normal the soonest possible... But if not then moving out is the best option.
