So Frail and yet She truly Weathered the Storm!




Now, to Second the wish of my friend Melba...:

"If only this same flood can rid our country of corruption ( and the corrupt? hehehehe), so that it won't take another calamity to remind us to live our lives fully and well; and learn to let go, when holding on is no longer an option. "
