Tonight is Christmas, and I feel the sad souls of the people mourning the loss of their loved ones. To be honest, I cannot be happy at this time because seeing the bad news in Social media makes me weep. I tried deactivating my account but I did not because I still want to know whats happening around the city. I see photos of the dying child full of mud caused by the flood. I see Families crying over their properties, houses down in the mud. Then another moment of torment when one of the malls are burning down. I tried not to care because I don't know people working there, but seeing our President weeping hard over the loss of the agents who are trapped inside makes my heart crashed. I wanted to cry but I cannot because maybe I don't have tears to fall.
I may be selfish because I don't want the boyfriend to go to battle because I am too afraid of what will happen. We had a fight over this timely bad moments and yet he showed himself to me, to make me see that he is okay and alive and still kicking. I so love this person that I don't want something to happen to him. I know you have this notion too with your loved ones.
There would be no Merry Christmas for everyone, I think. For people who are suffering, crying and crashed. And I will pray for all the Families who are weeping of the loss of their loved ones. I am still hoping that there would be smiles and laughter celebrating this festive moment.

I haven't heard of this recent typhoon before, such a bad coincidence. 
Christmas is usually a time to distract ourself from the bad moments we're going through, but I guess it's hard to do so when you don't have the usual people around. I hope there are volunteers who are comforting these families, there isn't much we can do.
It's a dangerous job but someone has to do it. I wouldn't be happy at the idea of my boyfriend going to battle either, at least I'd try to join him somehow, be around him.

Sadly, there will always be people having bad Christmases. But you have to try to have a good one yourself, as not doing so won't help them.
