one DAPSILOG please!!!

Saturday. I went to Gogadgets in Gilmore to have a look at my PSP. This gadget of mine got flooded by Ondoy, though I know the chances that it might not work or cannot be repaired, I still need closure so I can sell the accessories of it.

It feels nice seeing the same route again, the memories when Im still working at K-pointe, came back, of course this time a bit different; the LRT station of Santolan to Recto smells like shit, and that is due to tons of garbage under the Marcos Highway bridge due to the typhoon Ondoy. Im perplexed to see the remnants of it. The dust are everywhere around the Santolan LRT station. I can now imagine what this place has gone through. I remember my share of sentiments surviving Ondoy and hoping not to ever encounter that same situation again.

When I get there it took the technician almost 2 hours of checking which part could possibly causing the failure why my PSP screen is not turning on. A lot of cleanup, trial and error, isolation or parts and still to no avail. He concluded that the board is worn out. Replacement might cost PHP4,000, wherein you can add thousands more to it then you buy a brand new PSP-3000. However I told myself not to buy PSP within this year. Surprisingly, I have the hunch of a possible outcome, I easily accepted the idea of losing my PSP and looking forward of selling the parts and its accessories. After Ondoy I realized that you could lose any material stuff at one snap, much more with losing your life and the lives of your loved-ones.

Ondoy and Pepeng taught us a great realization. We become cautious, sensible and appreciative of what we truly have. We become thankful of the small things, of being able to spend time with our family. Courage and cooperation arises during tough times cuz we become one nation. We become religiously inclined and uplifted our personal relation to God. We become human and we learn to live.
