the next day, we found out that a ship from manila going to cebu sank and around 800 people were missing.

yesterday, on my way to school, we passed by the pier that the ship was supposed to dock at and i just saw so many people waiting and hoping that the people they loved were safe. but noone was really sure cuz like i said, 800 people were still missing and only arund 50 survivors had been found.

idk why i decided to post a blog like this but it makes me really sad. i don’t think i would’ve cared at all if i hadn’t passed by the pier. but when we did, i just felt bad for them cuz ii know that there were children on that boat. and i thought, what if someone’s husband, boyfriend or fiance was on that boat? what if someone’s child who they haven’t seen in years was on that boat? what if someone i knew was on that boat? what if my classmates parents were on that boat? and then i just felt worse.

people die in typhoons. and i just feel really lucky to be living in a house with strong walls and a good roof.
