We use this expression in English to refer to situations wherein many good things or bad things all seem to happen to us at one time. Even if it’s not the rainy season, the Philippines have always been under constant bombardment from “rain” and “bad weather”. I know were all aware that majority in Metro Manila are experiencing continues heavy rains, causing extreme floods, rescuing etc…  I just hope and pray that this will be over soon but for now what’s really important is to stay strong and united. To be honest by watching the victims and rescuers on television I’m really scared for them and scared for myself too coz I never experience extreme flooding that can actually wipe out homes. 

Anyway, here are quick ways to donate.
