I have not witnessed such a strong typhoon before.  My mom woke me 4 am yesterday morning just to tell me that she wanted to call my brother and stop him from going to San Pablo to preach because of such strong gusty winds.  Unfortunately, my brother has already left.

I wasn't able to go back to sleep, this is one of my bad habit, so difficult to get back to sleep when awakened.  Sobrang kainis, my mom should have called my brother directly without waking me up!  Well, ganun talaga mga moms, no choice hehehe.  The strong wheezing sound shaking our windows, I thought they are gonna break.  We have one unit years back, their glass door was shattered into pieces because of another strong typhoon.  I can also feel our building shaking or I was just hallucinating hehehe...

I left also to preach in Diamond Jubilee, it was my first time to preach there, the electricity was on and off, I praise God for my training in Scouting.  I was able to preach clear and loud enough without the sound system.  So few, people attended.  I believe the same for all churches.

On my way back, I saw Pasig River overflowed and for the first time Escolta St., was really flooded.  I stayed home the whole day, still groggy because I lack sleep.  Spent the rest of the day, trying to sleep with no success until around 4 pm.

Sad news about the Sulpicio Lines tragedy... and majority of Iloilo in waters.  Many lost their lives and love ones.  The country needs to come together to pray.  I remembered my last message on Noah's Ark.  Though many places were under water, but God has promised never to destroy earth again with the flood.

Salvation has come to us through the salvation act of our Lord Jesus Christ.
