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.

Another Typhoon is coming

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.
