Suppressed.

First of all, after Ondoy's visit, how is everybody?

I've been feeling helpless during this entire week. As much as I want to do something and help, certain circumstances at home won't permit me to leave the house. Though I heard this afternoon that our neighbor and his family is packing a lot of stuff to donate, so I might cross the street tomorrow and help out in any way. It's also a good opportunity to talk to my former kindergarten teacher (yes, you got that right) who's a friend of their family.

So anyway, I haven't been blogging any randomness that I've been dying to post because of a certain suppressed feeling. All those posts on Facebook and Multiply were all about helping the people who fell victim to the flood. People were posting alerts and possible ways of volunteering and donating and helping out the flood victims on their statuses, and sometimes even telling people to stop posting unnecessary things so as not to flood the news feed. Minsan nga, may mga nakikitang pa akong mga status diyan na OA na, sesermonan pa ang mga taong nagpo-post ng kung anu-ano dahil wala raw silang magawa imbis na tumulong. Ang masasabi ko lang about that... let's not be so harsh, people. Sabi nga ni Betty, it doesn't make them less caring, unconcerned, or that they are not doing anything about what's happening. Who knows, maybe they've already given their fair share already dahil hindi na nila nilalagay ang mga ginawa nilang tulong sa Facebook. Anyway, I'm not saying na ang preachy masyado ng mga nagpo-post sa Facebook. It really does help a lot, pero wag niyo naman sermonan yung mga iba for posting whatever. There is the Hide button naman eh. Dun naman sa mga nagpo-post ng kung anu-ano, please be considerate na rin and don't publish too many unnecessary quiz results and etcetera, at kailangan din ng iba ang networks nila sa Facebook for certain purposes. Kaya rin ako medyo suppressed at minsan nagi-guilty ako na mag-post ng personal randomness, because baka isipin nila na walang akong kibo sa mga pangyayari. Alam niyo na gusto ko rin tumulong. Naiinggit pa nga ako sa mga nakikita kong nagpo-post ng mga photos of all those people helping out, walang keme or whatever.

Alala ko tuloy yung mga napapaskil na photos of donations by certain candidates for presidency, na tatatakan pa ang mga donations nila ng pangalan nila. Uhm, hindi na po yan masyadong papansinin ng mga tao, and doing so will not win them any more votes. The people that will be receiving these will be immensely and equally grateful no matter kung sino ang nagbigay nun.

Anyway.

Wow, I didn't mean to write a paragraph that long. I just meant to say that I felt suppressed about writing a personal blog amidst all the posts about Ondoy. Now that I sounded that out, "random" blog entry to follow.
