Emergency Numbers

For the past few days, Manila and nearby areas have been experiencing inclement weather, with almost non-stop rains. Due to this, a lot of areas, mostly the low-lying ones, are flooded. Some areas are hit hard, with flood water levels reaching chest-deep. Some major roads in the metro are not passable due to high flood levels. Classes, as well as work both in government and private offices, were suspended yesterday.

Our town in Bulacan was affected by the rain and flood. Yesterday, flood water entered our house. It’s the second time this has ever happened; the first time was in 2009 during Ondoy. Thank God, the water level was not high, just about 3 inches. Water levels are higher in other areas. Rescue and relief operations are currently ongoing. Let us keep praying for everyone’s safety.

Amidst all this, a lot of communication about weather info, status of areas, rescue and relief efforts - among other things - are on the news and Internet, particularly the popular social medium, Twitter. I’m reposting here emergency numbers I came across online, for everyone’s reference:

Happy Father's Day!

I want to wish the men in my life a Happy Father's Day -- my Tatay, four brothers and of course, my main man... My loving husband, Miggy's "Dadad"! :)

I am deeply awed by the love you have for Miggy. He is so blessed to have you as his Dadad, and I to have you as my forever partner in life. Love you!

AirAsia now flies to HK and Macau!

AirAsia recently introduced two new routes, Hong Kong and Macau. Introductory fares are just too tempting! Only P688 per one-way ticket to Hong Kong and P588 to Macau, ALL-IN! I love it! Apologies for the exclamation points, I'm just so excited!!! Haha Di naman obvious. :) For more details about the promo, just look at the photo below:

A couple of months back, I was able to book with AirAsia for our family trip to Palawan this coming December. Seven round trip tickets costed only P4,700. Great deal, no? I just love AirAsia. Now, going back to the HK-Macau promo... It's just so good a deal to pass up on! I'm just trying to match my schedule with ze husby's and hopefully I can book our tickets before June 19 (end of promo).

Hooray for AirAsia! And hope to see you, Hong Kong and Macau! :)

Serenitea

I'm getting hooked on Serenitea. My favorite is Wintermelon with pearls and coffee jelly. 75% sugar. Love it!

Happy 1st Birthday, Miggy!

Our baby, Miggy-o, turns one today! His Justice League party at Shakey's was a blast. A lot of kids arrived, more than I expected, thank God. All in all, it was a super fun party. I will make a separate post on it soon. For now, I'm sharing Miggy's birthday cake, picked by his Daddy-o (a Superman fan):

Superman's fortress

Happy birthday, baby Miggy-o! We love you so much! :)


Feb Happenings :)

It's the month of looove! Kay bilis ng araw, imagine, we're almost half way through February. I'm not really excited about Valentine's Day, it has not been a tradition for me and Paul to celebrate it. Parang normal na araw lang. :)

What I'm really looking forward to this month are the following:

Miggy's 1st birthday. My baby's turning a year old on Sunday... Yehey! We'll have a Justice League party at Shakey's to celebrate his big day.

Pogi :)

Boracay. After  five months, I will be back to this beautiful island. But it's not pure leisure, it's actually work-related. Hehe We will have our department team building there (naks, may budget) for 3D/2N. And we will stay at... Discovery Shores! Chochality lang. :)

Guys and Gals outing. One of my high school barkada, Pet (a nurse based in Sydney), is currently in the country. We will have a weekend get together, all of us Guys and Gals (except for Alma and Carlo, who are in Japan). Haven't seen Pet for the past two years. I'm so excited! We will most probably go to the beach, either in Batangas or Subic. :)

With the Guys and Gals at EK last December (minus Pet and Mersan )

Second month of the year pa lang, ang dami na agad events. Lezdodiz! :)

One Week to Go!

Miggy's first birthday is coming up... Exactly one week to go. I'm so excited!

He will have a Justice League party at Shakey's SM Marilao. He will be Superman, nonetheless. :) Just want to share the invitation (done by my graphic artist friend, Toink).


SuperMiggy!


I can't wait for next Sunday!
