The Fury of Ondoy

Just recently, Philippines was hit by one of the most destructive typhoons in the history. What started as strong rainfalls suddenly turned to a heavy downpour that can be compared to a month of rainfall. Different areas around the country turned into a sea of flood. All that was visible above are the roofs of the houses. Trees were knocked down on their places. Cars were floating around.

Thousands of people were affected by the calamity. People were stranded on their homes for days without food, water, and electricity. Children got sick, many got injured and died. Others are still missing. People lost their homes, properties, and livelihood. Classes and work were suspended. Flights were canceled, domestic or international.
Business were paralyzed and faced a great deal of loss, especially in the sector of agriculture. Infrastructures were severely damaged like buildings, classrooms, roads, and bridges. Roads were not accessible for days making it more difficult for the rescuers to conduct the rescue operations. The estimated total damages of the calamity already reached billions.

These are some of the pictures taken during Ondoy's fury.






Sleeping Dinosaur

On our way home to Davao City, as we passed along the roads of Badas, Mati, I was totally awestruck by what i saw. It was an island shaped like a sleeping dinosaur. Because of its close resemblance to a dinosaur that looks to be sleeping the island was named by the locals as sleeping dinosaur. We stopped by for awhile and I hurriedly got out from the car and took pictures of the island. We were so amazed by the sight that everybody started to took some pictures of it.
Here are some of the pictures that I took.









The breathtaking view of the Sleeping Dinosaur.

EVICTED


The twin brothers Kenny and Toffi together with JM (JM's twin brother JP made his voluntary exit due to his job before JM was evicted) are evicted from the house when they were discovered by Melissa and Marielle while doing the task to switch places. Upon entering the house, Big Brother gave the twins a task in which they are to switch places without giving an idea to the other housemates that there is actually two houses for this season. Their cover was blown when Melissa and Marielle accidentally saw Kenny hiding in the shower room. Due to the failure of the task given to them, the three housemates were evicted from Big Brother's House. Welcome to the outside world Toffi, Kenny, and JM.

"A secret ingredient makes hamburgers taste like steakburgers."

so long first sem...

Finally the first semester of my second year in college has officially ended...No more worries, no more head aches, no more cramming and hectic schedules on my list. *sighs*
Another semester has passed...
I "quite" enjoyed the semester and gained new knowledge from my seven subjects this semester. I have to give credits to my professors for that. I gained new friends and met new faces as well. I got to experience my first time of intramural in my school this year. I was slacking off for the whole week (literally) only going to school for the attendance. L.O.L^^
I also got to experience my first time in the Acquaintance slash Masquerade Ball in our department. That felt like a prom to me (considering that I missed the high school prom -- and that was TOTALLY one of the biggest regrets in my life!).
A week before the final exams, I had to complete my clearance (I had to bring some stuffs to patch up my missed attendance slips).
In general, this semester was OKAY! but not that really great. I hope next semester will be more interesting to me.
^.^

I'm totally hooked with this series that I'm currently watching right now. I love the story and the characters. I still haven't finished the first season yet and I'm dying to know what will happen to the rest of the episodes. And i wanted to start watching the second season before summer class will start...too bad I only got two more days of break before summer class. (*super heavy sighs^^) I just can't enough of this series. REALLY REALLY great!

I was instantly interested by the plot of the movies that Ive watched that I simply can't get enough and searched for more new titles to watch. I already watched tons of it and I want to share it to you, especially for those people who are looking for new and great movies to watch. I highly recommend these titles to you and have fun watching it.
