Worse thing that happened
It’s day three of no water, no electricity in our house.
We’ve stepped out of the comforts of the hotel already. My very young son couldn’t help but say in his usual candid way. “This is the worst thing that’s happened in my life!”
“What about you mom, what’s the worst thing that happened to you?,” he queries.
“Lots, Lots,” was all I could say. How could I choose between losing my cellphones one after the other or having to bring up three kids in this world alone? There’s no comparison between all the things I have to bear day by day, the difference is just in the manner that you take it … all the challenging things that life blows your way.
So much of negativity. We are now cooling our heels in the mall and my kids are playing in the arcade forgetting momentarily that this worse/worst thing has happened. So this is life!

i just dropped by. sorry to hear that. i saw the damage done by the typhoon here in tv news in germany. just thank God nothing bad happened to u and your family. have a nice weekend. mind if i link you?
sana nga maka recover na kaagad yung mga nasalanta ng hagupit ng bagyo. dami pa rin walang kuryente at bubong ng bahay. nawawala pa rin yung ba nilang kaanak. mapalad pa rin tayo dahil safe tayo kahit paano.
haha! kids sometimes throws the most unexpected but sensible questions, right? =p
Hi Ajay! Kumusta?
Grabe talaga ang effect ng bagyo. Haay. Anyway, you’re a supermom who can beat that. I adore you Ajay.
Ako dito hanggang tawag-tawag na lang sa mga kids. I wish I could also be with them. Sigh.
Ganyan talaga ang life.
Have fun at the mall..:-D
Just got electricity & watr in the house this morning at 4 am (Sunday).
I didn’t thought of going to a hotel! Shame on me!
Hope you can go back home soon!
Thanks a lot Cfor dropping by curacha. Yes, a link would be appreciated:)
Yes Iskoo, we’re still lucky. Up to this time some places are still without power and water. Glad it came back in our area yesterday. Rex, yes..the comment/question from my son kinda threw me off guard
Siena, I am sure you were worried too about what happened in the Philippines. It’s hard to be away from your loved ones.
That’s a long time Sidney. I am sure you and your family mised Belgium when all this happened huh. Regards
Wow it must be terrible for your kids.When L was a little girl, she said she hated the coup (then in 1989) because she couldn’t watch cartoons. They have their own “worst” definition. We adults have gone through a lot. Hope you have electricity by now.
Haha! Your son is sooo cute! Wonderful how kids bounce back… even when the worse/worst things happen.
Typhoon Milenyo. Hotels are full im sure
Hi Ajay,
Hope things are better now for you and your kids.
Take care!
So So glad you and your kids are safe and sound. Hey, tell Paolo this is character-building. He’ll probably just roll his eyes at you but it may open up a new way of thinking for him!
having no water for the last few days was the pits! it was worse than having no electricity at all.
and i hate the fact that we had to haul out all our perishables from the ref and put them into styro iceboxes to keep them from getting spoiled. i gave meralco a piece of my mind telling them if they would like to reimburse my food because of their stupidity.
Thank you friends. We’re all fine now
Yes, I was also thinking that way Tin.. character-building. It helps sometimes when kids are exposed to the realities of life early on
Jules, the water and electricity were gone at the same time. It was like a war zone
Despite the unfortunate things that have come your way, the great thing is you’re still very much intact.
Yes Tones, God loves me after all. All I have to do is to appreciate all these little things
