It’s Random Post Again

(1) Robert Pattinson for Spiderman? Are you kidding me? I love him and all but is he really fit for the role? Do you honestly think he could pull if off? Unless he would show me some abs, I might be convinced. Haha. Peter Parker = Robert Pattinson. Naah, I can’t still picture a blood-sucking spiderman.

(2) I am supposed to share with you my last holiday travel galore but I guess it’s too late now. Haha. Hello, it’s almost the end of January.  The only thing I do best is procrastinating. You might already notice that.;-)

(3) It’s snowing here. I hate it. I don’t mind snow as long as it happens during the weekend for I don’t need to drive. You know, I  sometimes  do stunt driving. It’s my part time job. LOL.  The bad news is this snow is here to stay for three more days. Darn! Wish me luck!

(4) I am officially liking Mexican food. I used to hate burritos, enchiladas, etc because of its spiciness.   Now, I eat Mexican food almost everyday at lunch. I love to eat pickled jalapeno with everything. Jalapeno is now my “ginamus” (bagoong) or dried fish.  I used to eat dried fish/ginamus with everything but you can’t find them here.   I notice though that everytime I answer the call of nature, it hurts! Maanghang-anghang pa. TMI (too much information)! Haha.

(5) If you ask me who my presidential bet is, my answer is I don’t know. If I were to vote, I would not vote for anyone. Nalito ako sa statement ko na yun ah. Anyway, for me Noynoy is a No-No. Villar is definitely a No-Way. Gibo is also a Nay!  I won’t elaborate anymore because I might be lambasted by these Presidentiables supporters. Natakot ba…

(6) My JLC and I have been learning to ice skate on our own. It’s fun. This Sunday will be our third time to skate. We are getting better, I think.  From countless falling on our butt, we now manage to fall about 10 times. Haha. Everytime we fall, little kids would ask if we are okay. Cute kids who could run effortlessly with those ice skates. I am so jealous. I am so determined to do better with skating. After learning to ice skate,  figure skating..here I come! Haha. Ambisyosa!

(7) We bought and watched Season 4-6 of 24. We managed to watch Season 4  in two days. Talk jackbauer8about being a bum! We just finished Season 5 this week. Yes, we still have better things to do than being glued on the boob tube watching Jack Bauer saving America from terrorists the entire day.  By the way, the new season of 24 is on. Did you watch it? I guess I have too much Jack Bauer in my system now. Need to stop this craziness.

(8)Been trying to eat healthy. I’ve gained about 5 lbs. From 20+ pair of jeans, I can only fit 4 of my jeans now.   Sad.

(9) I am excited to attend the annual winter ball of JLC’s company this Friday. I got to dress up. Yay! You see, I never attended proms or any formal event in my whole life so I am excited every time I wear something nice.  This time I am just going to recycle one of my dresses.  Getting a new dress for the said event is not practical at all. Also, it’s hard to play dress up during the winter.  You need to make sure you wouldn’t freeze your ass, at the same time,you need to look good. Hehe.

(10) In January alone, a lot of earthquakes occured worldwide -Guatemala, California, Argentina and Haiti, the most devastated one. What’s happening? Is the end near? Katakot, noh? Did you see photos of Haiti? It so depressing and sad. My prayer goes for the people of Haiti.  I hope the country can recover after this catastrophic event. What happen to the Ondoy victims, by the way? Did the government still working on relocating them? What happen to the millions of dollars worth of donations? Bakit kaya wala ng balita tungkol dito? Hmmmmmmm. Hope my speculations are wrong! Don’t speculate, sabi nga ni Manny Pacquiao. O si Manny nga ba ang nagsabi non? Basta may nagsabi na ganon. Haha.

(11) Lastly, I miss my nephew. I heard he can now walk for few steps. Good thing is he and my mom will stay with me in 8 days in April while my sister is on her much-deserved European cruise. I can’t wait to be with them.

Idaan Mo Na Lang Sa Tawa

I am sure most of you have seen pictures of our kabayayans smiling inspite of the catastrophe brought by Ondoy.  We are indeed the happiest people on Earth in spite of our predicament – being a third world country that is.

I laughed my head off when I watched this video.

Panoorin niyo tong video na to para naman kayo ay ngumiti ng kahit konti:

Another typhoon is approaching. It is not an ordinary typhoon for it will be bringing 200+ kph wind. Pepeng, a super typhoon, is expected to land in Aurora, Isabela this Saturday morning if it won’t change its projected path. Aurora is where my JLC’s family lives. Huhuhu. I panicked when I read the news and immediately call him. I told him to call his family back home. As of this writing, we can’t contact them. :-( We hope and pray that they are safe. After what happen to Manila and surrounding areas, you can’t help but be paranoid – that it there’s a posibility that it will happen to other provinces as well – given the fact that this one is way much stronger than Ondoy. Huhuhu.

I had experienced a category 3 hurricane. It was hurricane Wilma I believe. Or, was it Dennis? I can’t recall. I was also still in Florida when hurricane Katrina hit Louisiana very bad. Category 3 has sustained winds of 111-130 mph (178-209 kph). It waas bad. You really could hear the wind. The good thing about Florida, unlike the Philipines, it is ready for this kind of calamity. It has designated evacuation centers. It has signs all over the state where you could go in case of a hurricane. I could only wish the Philippines would be like Florida but no, we fail in comparison. It is sad.

Ondoy, Not Ondoy At All

Ondoy,in Bohol, is a term of endearment. It means ondong in Cebu or totoy in Tagalog regions.  But storm Ondoy is no totoy at all.  Ondoy brought 13.4 inches rain in just six hours…that’s a month’s worth of precipitation!

It brought havoc to Manila and surrounding areas. Lives are losts, houses are shattered, food is scarce. This is the time to help our brothers, folks, in whatever way we can. Barrio Siete, spearheaded by Reyna Elena, created a campaign called Barrio Bayanihan for Ondoy Victims. As of this writing, Php 57,970 were donated.

In the spirit of Barrio Siete, we invite you all to join our Bayanihan Fund Drive: Donate to Ondoy Flood Victims. Very simply:

1.) Make a donation to our Bayanihan Fund Drive: Donate to Ondoy Flood Victims. If you can’t, then help us by making this viral and create an entry entitled: “Bayanihan Fund Drive: Donate to Ondoy Flood Victims“. A link to this original entry will be appreciated where your readers can make a donation. Please leave us a note in the comment section if you are joining so we can list your entry, in case the pingback doesn’t work.

2.) Invite other bloggers to join our “Bayanihan Fund Drive: Donate to Ondoy Flood Victims”

3.) We will list the names of the donors in a worksheet, their organization and/or their websites, unless they prefer to be anonymous.

4.) The listing will be updated regularly and will be posted here in Barrio Siete Dot com.

5.) We are only accepting monetary donations in currencies accepted by Paypal.

6.) All donations will be remitted only to the Philippine National Red Cross in Manila. (We have not made any contact with them yet.)

7.) If you prefer: You can make donations directly to the Philippine National Red Cross. Here is the link: Ways to donate

In Barrio Siete, this is where you can make your donation. We will in turn, turn this over to the Philippine National Red Cross.

8.) Reyna Elena’s entry on Ondoy here is getting a lot of messages from readers asking for help and assistance. If you are reading this, please head over to that entry and respond to some of the questions if you know because it kills me that I don’t know the answer to their questions or their plea for help. Hopefully, there is one here who could help.

The photos and videos I’ve seen in the web are heart-wrenching.  My heart and prayers go out to those poor victims of the storm. This is not the time to blame anyone. This is the time to reach out to our kababayans.

Check out these heart-wrenching photos I’ve gathered from the web:
