earthquake in Negros

Terror! that was how it felt.. It was just one of those ordinary days where people are sewing patterns, sketching prints, building bridges and more of those regular daily activities everyone used to be doing in their respective lives when suddenly the flloor where their feet set its steps starts to shake. First it wasn't that frightening but as the intensity goes stronger and consistent, horror mounted and was accompanied by panic that shook every single cellular biology within a human body. 

The 6.8 magnitude of earthquake in Negros Province startled the inner soul of the locals and that would include me even though I did not directly experience it since I was not there during the debacle but my entire family was. It was a very dreadful day, perceived was a day already written when all things on earth will come to an end. Families gathered together, holding each others hands with the concept that no matter what happens as long as they are together they should be set for anything. 

Additionally, the widespread Tsunami forecast resounded and was exaggerated by some folks making the upheaval more intensified. Streets were filled with people marching towards places with higher grounds leaving their belongings to reach for survival as humors was widely spread that bulk of water is approaching to cover the City. I cannot imagine the horror, it was all real, I can only picture scenarios like this on fiction movies and books but that story involved my family and the fright I felt that day was unimaginable.

On the other hand, that was also the day all hearts wrested back to prayers, family conflicts mended, sharing and support was felt, a day when hope was all entrusted to one Divine Creator. 

Truly, we will never know what comes next to each day we are given, the Supremacy of the one who authored everything is unfathomable.. Life is so short, live it to its fullest by investing on more important banks, relationship and friendship, not only to those whom we can see but more importantly to Him whom we haven't seen yet. My condolence to those who lost their loved ones, it will never an easy ordeal to move on but above all, we just have to keep our faith up, never lose our hopes, they are just ahead of us, we are on our way to the same destination. Continue dreaming that each day will have a brighter memory to record. God bless us all..
