was affected by flood over the weekend.  It was chest deep high that entered their first floor.  In our longest stay there for more than 20 years, it has never happened to us.  I could imagine how it could be if we were still staying with them that time.  We had so much stuff on the ground floor.  My files, my work, my home office then was practically at the first floor.  I felt the sadness of my parents on what happened but I told them that furnitures and appliances can be restored and replaced and what is more important now is that they are safe and still healthy.   I am concerned more about their health actually.  It would probably take weeks to finally clean up the place.  They still do not have electricity and clean water from MWSS.   I do bring food to them everyday as they really cannot cook due to lack of utilities.  We are also helping them clean up the mess, the sticky mud that Ondoy had left.  This calamity have taught us a lot.  Most of us have picked up a learning from that experience.  It is really necessary to be prepared always and even those senior life insurance should really be considered for our parents.
