JUST IN CASE...

Hi guys, if I don't get online in a couple of days, that could only mean we lost power and internet connection. I really hope this is not as big as being reported, but it's already started raining so naturally, we are bracing ourselves for the big storm.

The last storm was a big one, and my house got flooded. But I should be fine now. I am much more prepared.

If you can please read:

And hopefully, it's not as bad as I am imagining it. Prayer will help, if you guys pray. Thanks.

My family has a prayer list, and I just texted my grandmother to put you on it! ^_^

Thanks Rudy. That's mighty sweet of you. But I will try my best to be here. I might camp at the office, it's safer. For sure there I will akways get power and internet. So I can check on the family as well.

I really didn't think this is going to be a big ome until I checked the news and we got notices from the governement. But I know I'll be safe though, I have done enough preparations.

CNN's cameras aren't working there. Wolf Blitzer just tried to broadcast a reporter there and there was no sound.

STAY STRONG PALOMA!

By the way, I survived this. Just some debris on the garage that is all. Thanks to those who PMed messages.

However, I can't say the same about the rest of my country. Current death toll is now 200+ and that number is expected to rise. Most of the provinces in the south have no power supplies, no means of communication and are experiencing food shortage. They are also in need of medicine. I'm still asking for prayers, and if you can donate, there are agencies and institutions that are accepting donations from all over the world. Again, thank you.

Thanks Jeff, it's all good. I still do my share here. We can't go to the southeast part of the country, it's much dangerous, but we do send help. icon_wub

It's crazy to think that it's just another day for most of us while hundreds of thousands of people's lives just changed in the Philippines. Appreciate what you have, I guess, is the best way to put it. You're in my thoughts and prayers, Paloma. Game talk aside (none of this matters in the end) stay safe!
