Confusion over disappointment.

This morning was festive.

I got a call last night from a number that is not saved in my phonebook. I was sleeping so I needed to wake up , open my left eye and answer the call. Sun cell's signal is soooo bad in my room so apparently the person on the other line couldn't hear me saying "hello" back a couple of times in my bedroom voice.

And I could swear it's bumbee! It's bumbee's voice!

The signal wasn't generous enough so the call got cut. I don't know how it happened but neither of my phones had load so I couln't text bumbee to call again. Instinctively, I got up and borrowed my cousin's phone to call bumbee. I called the number bumbee used and someone answered. I asked why did he call, he answered "Nangangamusta lang." The background on the other end of the line is so noisy, I remember, so I said I need to sleep and I'll call him tomorrow. All the while I was thinking it was bumbee whom I talked to. I had no doubt.

I called bumbee earlier today and he said he didn't call me at all last night 'coz he was at ABS-CBN doing some volunteerism.

I could swear it was bumbee.

Hmmm.

Now I'm more confused than disappointed.

Pick up where we left off...

The weekend was a nightmare, disastrous, and tragic.

Life and properties, in many forms, were taken away
in exchange of tons of mud and murky water.


To Madel and to everyone who were affected in any way,
you have our prayers and support.
We're trying to give help in ways we can.


...

We, Filipinos,
As resilient as we are,
will pick up where we left off.
We will learn valuable lessons and move on.

We have prayed for unity and now we are given
the chance for our prayer to be answered.
