Mother Nature is giving us a stern warning

Yesterday, an hour and a half of non-stop rain brought damage in some areas in Cebu. It was the worse I've seen so far in my life. Some areas that I never thought will flood, flooded! Traffic was even worse! I spent PhP 175 for my taxi fare from IT Park, Apas to AS Fortuna, Mandaue. Normally, it would only be PhP 75-80 but because of the heavy traffic, it doubled! My goodness! There were also less jeepneys traveling. And it was hard to get a ride because some are already full of passengers who are in a rush to get to work and to class. It was even harder to hail a taxi cab because the driver either refuses to give you a ride or he gives a limit up to where he can drive for you. What helped ease the burden of the situation though was when I saw my good friend Bryony experiencing the madness too. Hahaha! At least I had someone to chat with while waiting for a jeepney. And after waiting for what seemed like forever, finally we were able to ride one. But we had to fight our way just to get to the jeepney. Hehehe. Man! Was it crazy out there! If not for an important task, I wouldn't have left the office. 


Here are some pics I took near SM City Cebu:
I have never seen this much water outside SM not until yesterdays heavy rain.

Looking at these, it makes me scared for our future. When will we start taking care of our environment? When will we ACTUALLY do something about it? We keep talking about saving our environment but we really don't do much effort. I admit, I lack some efforts too. :(

I just hope and pray that we can still save Mother Earth before it's too late.
