My nephew Joshua turned 4

Last Sunday, Joshua, my nephew (from my sister Rina), turned four!  He's so big for his age! Anyways, they weren't planning on a party and were just gonna bring food for his classmates in school, but...... thanks to his ninang (me... whose such a great party thinker/planner) and his favorite lola (my mom), we had a little get together in their house.Oh, what food? nothing much, just spaghetti, chicken, lumpiang shanghai and ice cream for some of the kid neighbors.  Yummy!  such a typical "handa" for a kids birthday!
  Anyways, he is so addicted to transformers, that i made him "Transformers" invitations and he got "Transformers" toys for gifts.  And what else, he wants more.... hahaha.
Happy Birthday Josh! Ien and I love you.... (even if you keep making us bugbog!)

After the storm

Thank God, Manila was not hit by typhoon Pepeng except for some rainshowers and strong winds here and there.  I hope my relatives in the Ilocos province were not badly affected. I pray for help for those in the Zambales area and Tuguegarao. 
Well, let this be a lesson to Filipinoes, most specially those in government agencies.  We are all aware that typhoons and the like never fail to come year after year.  Let us all be ready for eventualities such as this. I think God and Mother Nature gave us a wake up call.  It is the people's fault that we are flooded. Why? because some settlers have made mountain and riversides into subdivisions. Trees were removed, mountain sides carved, rivers destroyed.  Doesn't these changes affect the environment, it weakens the land structure, and without trees, what will absorb the rainfall? where will the water flow if the riversides are filled with houses and garbage.
Let us leave them as how God created them. Nature is there for us, let us protect it instead of making money out of it.
Oh well, it's just my point of view.

Another Typhoon

As bad as it sounds, another typhoon has just entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility. It's been just a few days after the onslaught of the Typhoon Ondoy, leaving a lot of Filipinoes homes under water or in ruins.
This new typhoon is said to be stronger!  Please, I encourage everyone to please pray for the Philippines!  We really need it at this time.
