The google tell us the definition of water.
water, a substance composed of the chemical elements hydrogen and oxygen and existing in gaseous, liquid, and solid states. It is one of the most plentiful and essential of compounds. A tasteless and odourless liquid at room temperature, it has the important ability to dissolve many other substances.

Water plays an important role of our daily living. Some says, it's better to have water and no electricity than to have electricity and no water. I remember when I was 5 years old we have no electricity that time. We only used "lamparilla" the old ways to have light in our place. But we have water that time, we have no problem before about water. It feels before that we are satisfied everything we need to live.

Today, if I compare from before it was very different. I can't imagine how life being changed in a worst way. God is so good eventhough we don't have a supply of water always, we find a way and we found out that near in our place there is a flowing water from the deep of the soil, it is from nature. The people here in our place, take a voluntary to form a small hole. We put a hose going to each of our houses. Then now, we have water but we can't use it everyday.

The culture here in our place is every saturday we are going to wash our clothes, that is our schedule. Today is saturday, I am planning to wash my clothes but then when I get the hose there's no water. I felt sad that I can't wash my clothes today. Monday until Friday, I have no time to wash my clothes because I have no work then sunday, I think when I wash my clothes on sunday I can't wear my clothes on monday because it is still wet.

I don't know where I am going to wash my clothes since we don't have water today. I am hoping that God will light our minds to find another source of water. This is really our main problem here in our place, lack of water while water is the most need of every people.

The election for mayor in our town is approaching, we planned here that this will be our request for them, I hope they will help us to save our needs. I know many of them are willing to help for those people who are in need and very important needs of people. I hope they can sustain everything to improve here in our place.
Now, while waiting for the water I imagined what if I am a rich person, I can help our place I can find ways to have water. So that there we can use water to drink, to take a bath anytime, to wash the dishes, and to wash clothes anytime we want.

After the typhoon, still we don't have electricity until now. We are in the highland area, the reason they can't fix our electricity easily. They will fix the electricity at the lowland area. That is why, now, we don't have enough water and we also don't have electricity. It's just so sad here. But I don't meed to think more negativities. I just think that while we are still living and have food to eat, it is the most important. Soon, we will have water everyday and electricity always. In God's help it will become true, soonest.

I totally agree with this. Water is life. Human can never survive without it. Majority of our chores involves water as well.
