Aloha! Pehea `oe?

after watching this video, it HIT ME. my hometown. torn into pieces. i start worrying about my family. i frantically call them, try to get a hold of them .. NO ANSWER. the past few days i’ve been trying to keep to myself, but deep down inside i’ve been worried like never before. i got text messages and phone calls from my titas and titos asking if my parents and my siblings are okay, but all i could tell them was “i think they’re fine. i’ve tried calling them, but they haven’t answered.. but i do see FB posts from them.. so they should be fine” … my cousins tell me that they’ve talked to them.. I am still waiting for that phone call..  but PRAYERS please - for everyone who has been affected by this disaster. & Stay Strong Cagayan de Oro !!
