Comment on My So-Called Life (in Pictures) by noy

true… true!
pinoys that we are, we’re all afflicted with this “clicktosis” disease. for some, they deny it, but still the obvious comes out somehow that everybody loves to pose for a snapshot or two.

things i did in the advent of digicams and scanners… i scanned all pictures in my own ‘baul’ and transferred from 1mb diskettes to new gen 8 mb disks, to zip drives 80mb, to 800 mb cd’s, to 2gig dvd’s, to 8 gig thumb drives, to 250 gig external hard drives, to the web (in private), whew! name it.. and put them in different places (and on ziplocs). hmmm… the only way i lose out on this is end of the world or the demise of the net!

i believe before about heroes in the philippines, but when i come here in the states and discovered more books thats not availabe in the country, my views in the philippine history change so much. I have a suggestion to read, you could down load this in Project Guetenburg, i guest my spelling Guetenburg is right, the writer name are; John Forman, Dean Worcester and Antonio De Morga.

Ang ganda ng kuwento niyo kahit masamang karanasan.We filipinos should always be ready sa baha, bagyo, lindol, etc. I am ofw. I try myself to be always ready. Fully-charged cellphone, water, batteries and flashlight, credit card, chhocolates, are in my small bag. Also bring your own personal directory or memorize important phone numbers if you are travelling by plane or bus. Always think a problem will happen. If you plan to stay in a hotel, always know where the fire exit is and flashlight is important. Our country has safety issues. a hotel might have fire exits but we do not know kung may nakabara sa likod ng pinto ng fire exit, o kung puwede itong gamitin ng buntis o matanda o ng bata.
Anong magagawa natin? Wala. Kung gagawin mo lahat ng sinabi ko sasabihin nila pessimistic ka. CORRECT?

This is a very refreshing blog. It almost seems fictional as most news stories and information coming from other sources show antagonism on the government and the environmental problems we are experiencing.

Your blog shows courage and calmness that one needs in the light of the ondoy’s inundation. Although the calamity has been considered as an once-in-a-lifetime event, I hope that the next great flood comes, people are more prepared by putting into heart the advice you have provided us.

thanks for the great reading.

Good story to share. We should never give up at times like these.

For someone living at the boundary of Caloocan, Malabon and Navotas (Sangandaan, Caloocan) I feel awfully blessed though that my family and house was spared.

A human interest story written in words well chosen and well arranged. P.S. My wife went to school at St. James Academy.

that’s great, what’s important is that what you save are those who really are important, loved ones.

I printed and will keep the “To do’s” for my guide to use, and suggest everybody must
consider too. Very informative. Thanks.

Hi Ma’am!

Very inspiring. I am a Malabon resident too and thank God we were spared from that deep flood during Ondoy’s wrath but not by the high tide at 3am of sept 27. we reside at Dagat-dagatan.
