Remembering Typhoon ONDOY

We had a couple of months watching the rain pour down in Manila that flooded most of the eastern part of the city. I believe in divine intervention but it never happened here. It ravaged most of my office mates houses and trashed all the appliances, cars and livelihood they have in the PASIG - RIZAL Area. It was a nightmare for all of us and I wish there was something we could have done to make life better. Our house was not spared because part of the roof gave in. Rain water washed in the ceiling and rendered our piano unusable, pictures wet and sofa disfigured. I was really not into handyman jobs so I employed the work of professionals to do the deed. I was really not happy with the existing Metal Roofing we had so I had it redone. I was uncomfortable sleeping because I kept thinking about the others. I was even lucky on such an unfortunate day.

Things that I did not even see on our roof came down. Imagine black mold crumbling down together with the rain water. It made the place doubly filthy. I know I had to make them cement based or stainless treated. Roofing contractors agreed about the suggestions I made and got the best there is from the market. Installed it a week after the typhoon and made guarantees that we would not experience it again. What a good day to start over and I hope we all start rebuilding our lives and never lose hope that everything will be fine.

Carmela and Edjo: Congratulations!

I just came from Mela’s wedding and it was nice. The church ceremonies happened in San Lorenzo Ruiz I think and the reception was in Plaza Ibarra in Timog Avenue where I followed. I was never in the mood of talking that much but since I was with my friends; that is what I just did. It was nice to see my best friend and sis with their additional cute son. We kind of talked a lot and I missed his sister, Mom and Dad. Geeze, I want to go back to Isabela if only it was near!

I saw them happy… they kinda look alike for some weird reason. But that is what I saw of them. It was really a gathering of friends and families. I specifically like the part where Mom and Dads talk about their sons and daughters… they kinda knock each other out with anecdotes of themselves then cry about it afterwards. Haha I dunno why but I find it amusing. I am weird bar none!

I just wish Mela and Edjo a better life and kids because they probably need one. They are good people and they need to have one now! Pressure pressure! =)

I Should Have Had A Better Deal

Hey this just arrived! I finally got my new eyeglasses delivered to my doorstep and it fits perfectly. I just am wondering about how expensive this is and how long am I going to have to use these corrective lenses. I should have ordered through ZENNI but my Mom paid for this. I should have made the choice since I know they have cheaper ones with the same quality. Imagine eliminating the middle men and getting your spectacles three times cheaper than the original price. If Mom only knew how to use the Internet to her advantage then she would have gotten a huge discount. We could have made other plans to buy WII instead for Christmas ha-ha!

What if I told you it is possible to get these at a very reasonable price? I just checked out their on line store and saw the huge price difference between the one I have now and the one that looks like it. My jaws dropped because I could have bought it for 8 dollars instead. I should have listened to this guy who wrote this article and made my self a better deal. The other frames look better too. If only I had a choice, you know what I'll probably get!

A Morning @ My House! =)

Wow, to tell you the truth I haven't seen Ichigo on his show BLEACH but today since I am on a writing rampage I could never help but marvel at how good this series also is. Maybe I need to brush up on my anime education so I could understand the story more. I really had a hard time to get to know this series because they have so many characters. Unlike Naruto who dove in the life of a ninja, this seems like all samurais and mystical beings with powers that emanate from their weapons. It is kinda different than shippuden but there are a couple of similarities. I also like naruto better since they actually grow up and go to different story lines every season. I just did not have time to follow the story because of tons of work over the holidays.

Hmmm... in bad news, there were 2 dead and around 400 injured in the Black Nazarene procession. Eureka, California had a 6.5 Magnitude earthquake. 2 dead people in a fire at Paranaque City. The election gun ban starts today and there are 50,000 police personnel doing checkpoints today. An Abu Sayyaf member was found in Basilan.

Lee Van Corteza and De Luna just won the predator billiards tour. Pacman will defend his title with an unknown guy Clottey in March... yeah I know, who the hell is CLOTTEY! LOL
