Description

A huge typhoon (Ondoy / Ketsana) caused havoc and mayhem in Metro Manila last Saturday, Sept 26, 2009. The flood gobbled houses, cars, trees, and people. Our house was unscathed, but the office wasn't. My work laptop was in the bottom drawer of my desk and it got completely submerged in mucky floodwater. And it was...brand new. (sigh) But I'm pretty thankful though, because others have it much, much worse. :(

Just a quick drawing I managed to squeeze in between commissions. I am so busy right now--it's been one heck of a crazy month, but I can't ignore it when inspiration hits. :I

Aww I love this, it's very relatable... well our house was flooded only halfway when Ondoy came, but we still lost a lot of things. Seeing this illustration reminds me of seeing people on the news who had to stay on their roof for days and literally lost everything they had, and how thankful I was that despite the terrible experience we had, we were still actually pretty lucky.
Anyway, this is a really cute work and a nice tribute to the tragedy that Ondoy has brought to the country. I'm glad that I found this; even though it was four years ago, I'll never forget that experience.
