PAG-ASA, the weather station here in the Philippines has already advised through the news that another typhoon is coming. Right now, it's still in the "Tropical Depression" status, when it enters the Philippine Area of Responsibility, it becomes a Tropical Storm. Tentatively, it'll be named Peping.
After the devastation of Typhoon Ondoy a few days ago, I pray that we won't be hit as much.

Typhoon Ondoy
Just two days ago, our country experienced one of the most devastating storms, Typhoon Ondoy. Metro Manila was the hardest hit, suffering flash floods, specifically in the areas of Pasig, Rizal, Manila, and Paranaque and other nearby areas. Floods were simultaneous, burying different areas in flood waters that were as high as houses in as fast as a few minutes. People panicked, due to the strong current and fast onslaught of flood water. They had to climb the roofs and waited hours for rescue to come. Rescue was very slow due to the difficulty in reaching the areas.
Some even died because they were either swept by the flood or drowned. There were even those who died rescuing others.
We appeal to all those who have the means to please help by donating to the foundations helping the typhoon victims. They are accepting donations in cash and in kind. People are in dire need of clothing, food, water, blankets, etc. Tune in to the Philippine news channels like ABS-CBN News and GMA-7 News on how you can send help and for updates.

Under the weather...
thank God it's Friday. I don't have to bring my son to school tomorrow..... I'm so in need of rest coz i don't feel too good. I've been very irritated because of my cough and colds and i don't really feel well. Blame it on the extreme weather conditions here. Just a few days ago we had one typhoon, "Maring", then we were given one extremely hot day, and now, it's raining cats and dogs again. i don't know if its another typhoon, knowing that it's typhoon season here but i hope the rain stops! oops, on second thought, just make it not so strong. The only thing I'm thankful for is that the rain makes the temp cold, and i like the cold better than the heat....

Countdown before Christmas
It's September 1, the start of the " 'ber" season..... meaning, we are gonna start our countdown til Christmas. As my friend, cherie mentioned in one of her blogs... i confirm, i think the Christmas season here in the Philippines is the longest. People will start buying christmas gifts little by little, to avoid the Christmas Rush in December.. as for me, not that I don't follow, but if finances will permit, why not.
So officially, in honor of this, I will start a Christmas Countdown.
It's 115 days, before Christmas.
