Earthquake in Cebu

Out of concern and check my family back home, I called them last night. My family's were all fine and no casualties whatsoever. My mom told me that there were few cracks in our house due to the trembling which they saw were a little longer than expected. She told me as well that my brother's house got more cracks from the quake. I wonder what happened to the foundation to that house. Probably because it was elevated and maybe the support was not really good. That's too bad for the house. But what concern us the most was that no one got hurt and they were all fine.

The tsunami alert was too overwhelming that causes panic attack to many. It was scary for them. Philvocs should advice or announced proper news for the people on how to handle the disaster. It was crazy in the Island. Although my mom said that there was a little movement of the ocean nearby but it wasn't that bad that the people should be concerned about. All in all, Philvocs should know better than that and should provide accurate news for the public. That's all I can say.

Spring is almost here

It still feels cold and chilly outside especially in the morning but I believe the weather will going to change soon. It will be nice to have that long period of sunshine and short evening. Regardless of the weather, lucky for the resident of the bay area the winter/fall season was great.

I don't know what could my plans for spring. Since I am a little tight now with schedules for school, work and home. It's a good thing though it could occupy my time. I just need a little time to improve some personal skills and hopefully one day I could attain and achieve my desire goal.

My Best Friend

Contribution by Saul Martin

My husband completely despises my best friend, Marie, and it drives me crazy. I know that she isn’t the easiest person to warm up to, but we have been friends for years and I can’t just dump her. I know she can go on and on about things that other people don’t find interesting and he hates the fact that we have a bit of an argumentative relationship. To me, it’s just how it has always been. In a weird way I find comfort in our stupid arguments and her long rants because I know that at the end of the day we will always be friends. The other night we went out to dinner and Marie was singing the praises of clear wireless internet and I could see my husband’s eyes glazing over. He got this look in his eyes after about five minutes and I could tell he was about to explode if I didn’t get him out of there, fast. I don’t know what to do about this! I wish someone could give me better advice than to just keep them apart.

Texas life

Content by Sol Rosales

Texas is a great place to live but it’s hard being so far away from my family. I’m finally married, though, which is really nice and I can’t wait for us to really get our new house set up and start our little life together. I’ve been doing all the domestic stuff I can like looking into Amigo Energy Rates and painting the second bedroom and I’ve been clipping recipes like crazy so I can at least TRY to learn to cook. I just love being responsible for our little life and I know that Jay really appreciates all my effort. I can’t wait until we’re ready to think about having a baby of our own but I know we need to enjoy being marriedfor a while before we even think about taking on something like that. I know that being a mom is going to be ten times harder than being a wife so I need to get good at that before I go for the big time!

Typhoon Hit so Bad in Philippines

It's hard to read the news for the past few days. The Southern part of the Philippines was hit by a typhoon with a strong down pour of rain. Casualties are counting and the last time I read it was sometime 900 dead and lots of missing people. The area that hit most was near the river where the water rises up in breaking record. It was unexpected to hit that bad. I hope relief and donation will be enough to those who are in need.

Foggy Morning

For 2 days driving to work, fogs were all over the street. It isn't bad because the road strips were still visible. I have heard from my Director that tomorrow will be more dense and the gust winds are range from 35mph. I wonder how cold it could be. Grrrh! It looks like going to be a coldest day maybe.

Beautiful Landscape in Maui

Here is the collection of photos I took. I had the marvelous time in Maui and definitely I would like to go back. I hope it will be soon or sometime next year. Who knows when it will be but it will be less than a year. That's how I love staying there.
