#typhoonodette

One of the last practices I did at the shala before #typhoonodette slammed Siargao so bad. Swipe left to see the aftermath. When we receive a tragedy or a shock in our lives, our body tends to go into fight meaning looking for someone to blame or flight meaning we try to calm ourselves with clichés like "everything happens for a reason" response. In these trying times like in yoga, when we feel our body resisting, is to breathe through it. We must become more present than usual. By breathing into our discomfort, we empower ourselves to feel uncomfortable without panicking. Each new breath draws us more deeply into awareness and allows us to move on to the next breath, the next step. We feel sadness, horror, grief, compassion, acceptance, anger, relief, sorrow, and, just for a moment, awareness of it all. One breath at a time. . . . . . #yoga #yogi #yogamen #yogadudes #yogalove #yogainspiration #yogaeverydamnday #yogaformen #yogaforlife #boysofyoga #mensyoga #ashtanga #ashtangayoga #ashtangi #intermediateseries #kapotasana #backbend #siargaoisland #yogaph #yogaphilippines #grammerph #igersmanila #fit #fitspo #pinoygram #helpsiargao #igyoga #instayoga #siargao (at Siargao Island Philippines) https://www.instagram.com/nomnomenclature/p/CYbPN_tPRYz/?utm_medium=tumblr

Lord God, bless each and every person affected by Typhoon Paeng and surround us with Your love, protection and your holy angels - our protector and spirit guides. AMEN. 🙏

When Typhoon Odette hit Cebu in December, this happened. It was a really difficult and sad event in my life because it was the first time I had ever experienced such a dreadful tragedy, and it was also my first time experiencing such a typhoon. I'm proud of myself for not giving up, and I thank God for our safety, even though we spent Christmas without running water or electricity. With the generosity of my friends in Mindanao, we were able to help more than 20 people in our community who were less fortunate and couldn't afford food.Despite the fact that we are still students, we gather donations to assist those in need. I'm grateful for my friend's initiative in supporting us during this difficult time. 

Saan ba aabot yong budget mo for a cup of coffee? You'll be helping the kids in Surigao who were victims of typhoon Odette. Tomorrow, we will sell coffee and food to go after the gathering to raise funds for this cause. 😊 See other ways to partner with us here: https://bit.ly/PROJECTRESPOND2022ODETTE.

After hearing about the impact of typhoon Odette on kids in Surigao, we are fundraising and encouraging everyone to be involved in financing the gift-giving and counseling service on March 11-13. (You can find in the attached photos ways to participate.) 😊

We'll do whatever we can to support #TyphoonOdette victims. Help us spread the word. #JourneyWithGCAF https://www.instagram.com/p/CYfwA5mPsGE/?utm_medium=tumblr

Batang Hamog level unlocked! But kidding aside, I wasn't expecting that this will be the way how I will exit the the tear-drop shape island of Siargao (Not permanently). Everyone was caught off-guard and by surprise when #typhoonodette hit the entire island so bad. It literally turned the surfing paradise into a sort of complete wasteland in less than five hours on that fateful day of the 16th of December 2021 even my own home was not spared. This was me 3 days after typhoon Odette to pick up my transportation which I left uphill of Tawin tawin where we evacuated since majority of the roads and streets were blocked by fallen branches and uprooted trees after the storm. It took me six days of no electricity, no network, no water from the tap but to fetch water from the deep well to take a bath, no proper sleep, six days of cigarette and water diet since I literally don't have the appetite to eat proper food though that there is really something proper to eat to finally decide that it's time for me to go back to Makati temporarily. It was an amazing, nurturing and nourishing almost a year of experience with you Siargao. I am not bidding farewell nor abandoning you. I will comeback once I am mentally and emotionally recovered. SALAMAT KARAJAW, Siargao! 💔🥲 Ps. Thank you to all of my friends whom I consider my family in the island who supported me emotionally, physically, and mentally during the time that I was a complete disaster post-typhoon. @iambobbiethegreat (Mindy and Mother) @xiannemische @gui_spain @snarkynippy @the.lone.lioness Ron @jpearlieeee For those who want to extend their help to Siargao in order for our home island to recover, follow @tindogsiargao to see ways and means to help the island. . . . . . . #siargao #siargaoisland #supertyphoon #survivor #resilience #ashtanga #ashtangi #riseup #recover #helpsiargao #pinoygram #grammerph #igersmanila #yogi #wewillrise #strength #help #gratitude #nourish #trauma #thankful #grateful #iamalive #tindogsiargao #philippines #fateful #typhoon #letushelp #surfingparadise (at Tawin Tawin Siargao Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYL-HrJvUPt/?utm_medium=tumblr
