i just had a short but meaningful vacation..it was just 4 days..but i really had fun..i spent it with my relatives (mother's side)..and i visited different places in 4 days..i even visited some places that were affected by the recent typhoon sendong who killed hundreds or thousand of people in cagayan de oro city and iligan city (philippines)..even it has been 2 weeks, i guess, since the typhoon damaged their places, but still, it can be seen that they have not yet recovered from the calamity..and many even still look for their missing love ones..but i'm glad to see them that despite of the calamity, they still managed to smile and i know that they just got that big faith..

It is good that you got to go visit with your family. It's sad to hear of the devastation of the typhoon. We do not have typhoons here but we have tornadoes and I know it takes literally years to clean up after a large one comes through. You are a strong people of faith!
