The bitterness of life.
Virgin Suicides by Sofia Coppola
(via greenerthanblue)
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.Reblogging because it’s the law. Soon I shall have “not all those who wander are lost” tattooed on my person! :-D
As residents slept, flash floods entered homes, killing 180 in Mindanao - GMA News
A storm slashing through the southern Philippines has triggered flash floods and landslides that have killed nearly 180 people and forced about 100,000 from their homes, government and army officials say.
“Most were already sleeping when floodwaters entered their homes,” Iligan City Mayor Lawrence Cruz said. “This is the worst flooding our city has experienced in years.”
Tropical Storm Sendong, with winds gusting up to 90km/h, hit Mindanao late on Friday and swept across the island, bringing heavy rain that also grounded domestic flights and left wide areas without power.
In Iligan City, which is usually spared the disastrous consequences of passing storms, residents were apparently caught by surprise despite warnings of the approaching storm. Officials said Saturday morning that they couldn’t recall the last time such a powerful flood smashed into their city.
Death Toll Climbs to at Least 436 - Time.com
Pounding rain from a tropical storm swelled rivers and sent walls of water crushing into two southern Philippine cities in the thick of night, killing at least 436 people, many caught in their beds, officials said Saturday.
Philippine Red Cross Secretary General Gwen Pang told The Associated Press that the latest toll was based on a body count in funeral parlors. She said that 215 died in Cagayan de Oro and 144 in nearby Iligan, and the rest in several other southern and central provinces.
