Four days after the bad storm, people start rebuilding, recovering, and remodelling their affected lives. Thanks to the bright sun who welcomed the day with a soothing smile, patting everybody on the streets, encouraging them to move on.
It was another hot and humid Tuesday once again, as if Ondoy never really appeared. Temperatures rose in different parts of the country. Yet, nobody complained on this surging heat unlike how I saw it in the past few weeks.
"Grabe ang init! Sana umulan naman!" A lady tired or lifting a heavy basket from the public market cried as she rode the jeepney. Now, not a single word of complaint came out of the people, fearful of what may the storm be once again. They just resisted what heat gave them, it was better than the downpour of the heavy unending rain.
But faces looked so long and gloomy, unmoved by the smile coming from the sun. One man whose shirt was so dusty and seemed to be his last one held the jeepney's rails staring at a distant. What could he be thinking of? His family? His job? Or savoring the sun's rays?
Langhap-sarap. This has been Jollibee's ever-enticing line to attract food-goers with the picture of a newly-cooked Chicken Barbeque, its juices sprouting from its skin. Now, Jollibee's langhap-sarap's face is now simply a langhap. Stocks are down when some of their meals such as the Burger Steak, the Chickenjoy, the legendary Crispy Fries, and Shanghai Rolls went down to the last drop. "Not Available", it says. Customers who might want to try their new products just had a cup of vanilla ice cream, a softdrink I never knew if still fresh from the bottle, and a piece of pie.
Jollibee still has to find another sack of honey.
