Cook and Brew.

It didn’t happen as we planned.

Because of the Ondoy tragedy, the husband was forced to render overtime to cover his colleagues who weren’t able to report for work. The little one ate his dinner ahead at 7 pm, fell asleep at 8 pm while the husband arrived at 9 pm.

Nevertheless, we can have it some other day naman. Or better yet, we can try to make everyday as FaMealy Day.

Our country is in deep sorrow caused by Typhoon Ondoy’s tragic massive flooding. We’re fortunate that my family was spared and we’re all safe and dry. Our heart goes out to those who lost lives of their loved ones, homes, and properties…those who are deeply traumatized by this tragedy.

May we all, as one nation, pray that God give us all strength that may we undergo through this with much hope and faith.

May we, as one nation, help each other pick up the pieces and go on with life.
