My Road Trip Test!


You Take the Road No One Travels



You see life as precious and special. Heritage and family are very important to you.

You often find yourself rushing through life. You don't take as much time as you'd like to enjoy the little things.

You are all about risk and randomness in your life. You travel off the beaten path... in fact, you're often the one carving the way!

You are able to find a fairly healthy balance between work and play. You work when you need to, but you never let yourself burn out.

In another life, you could have been a great novelist. You have a knack for describing things in an interesting way.

Online Backup for My Photos and Files

I’ve got plenty of pictures of my kids’ school and family’s activities. I always see to it that I document every moment of their lives by writing it in my online journal and keeping all pictures that I took in their activities. I’ve saved it in my hard disk and now that I’ve experienced the worst flood that happened in our town I’m thinking of saving all my pictures and important files in a place where I can feel safe that no matter what happened I can still retrieve them anytime. As I’m always online because of my work I’m thinking of an online backup for my volume of pictures and files to be in a safe place and also for sharing some of it. This way I will not worry anymore that my files will be corrupted when natural disasters come.

IT Job

My friend’s daughter took up a course in Information Technology not because it’s primarily her dream of becoming an IT staff but because it’s easier to apply for better job if you’re an IT graduate. It’s not important and necessary that she gets the top position now as she only wants to start as an ordinary IT staff. She’s super excited now that after 5 months of graduating from her college course and doing some IT job search she finally landed a job in an international electronics company and was assigned in Information Technology Dept. She’s now very thrilled with her first day.

Prayer Bridges

Got this from my sis Redge and I still believe that prayer is so powerful that it can help us in times of trouble to reach and talk to God.

Let's start prayer bridges thru blogs, emails and text messages. Another typhoon is threatening our nation and with this disasters that are completely out of our control, I guess the best thing to do is to pray.


Hope you could join us all in this prayer..

“Dear Lord we fervently pray for your intercession so that our nation will be spared from another threatening typhoon. Our suffering people have not recovered from Ondoys wrath. Please prevent Pepeng from hitting any of our islands. Save us from further calamities by embracing our country with your protective grace and merciful blessings. This we ask of You in Jesus name. Amen”

Thanks. May God protect us all.

Safe Travel with Better Visibility

Every time we travel far we see to it that we check our car for any possible trouble that may cause us delay in traveling. We check our batteries,oil, water,brake, air, gas and most importantly our lights. It’s hard to travel if you don’t have enough lights to guide you in the night. They say that to be safe you have to wear your seat belt always but it’s not only seat belt that will make your driving safe but the lights as well. Driver must have good bright lights for better road visibility and with the use of hid lights you’re assured that you have the best luminance ever. Traveling to far away places will be an enjoyable drive.

Slowly Returning to Normal Life

After 5 days of frightening floods caused by storm Ondoy we were now slowly returning to normal life, slowly because electricity has just returned to our area and we still have plenty of cleaning and washing up. Mentally some people I happened to talk to were slowly accepting the fate that dawned on them, others with only few properties left, some with nothing left at all and will start anew. I know God will help us recover again from the losses caused by the storm. I pray for those people who lost their families during the storm. God will help them find in their heart the acceptance of the loss of their loved ones.

The Sudden Flood That Hit Our Town

Electricity has just resumed today so it's only now that I've uploaded my shots of the storm that caused big floods all over Metro Manila and nearby provinces. I was left in the house with 3 kids and my 77-year old Mom. My sister and husband went to work and on the sudden flood that rise up suddenly within an hour I told them not to go home as it's not safe on the road anymore.

Our place never experienced a flood like this one as far as I can remember since I was born. Luckily with the help of my brother who rushed to our house in the morning and my neighbour we were able to secure our appliances to a higher level. All important documents and clothes in our first floor room were transferred to upper floor. I stopped rescuing things when the water is up to my neck. When I finally stopped at the upper floor I had the chance to take some shots of the flood which was amazingly risen up so fast our steel gate and car was submerged.
The shots below were taken on the second day when the waters were slowly subsiding:

Early rounding up of Media
Rescue operations by boat and trucks
Stranded people walked through flood to finally get back to their homesSari-store opened and the people rushed to buy food, drinks and candles

A Vacation that Feels Like Home

I’m back once again, actually I can’t believe that I’ve already finished setting up my desktop PC after what happened in our place and Metro Manila. The storm that hit the country has almost ruined many businesses with the flood waters rising up so sudden. Until now I can clearly remembered how I watched the waters coming into our house so fast that after half an hour it reached up to a knee-high length and in mid-afternoon our place was in complete chaos of brown flood waters and soaked appliances. We never expected this situation as it only happened now ever since I lived in our town since birth.

Well after several days of reviving what’s left for us, cleaning endless dirt left by the flood it makes me yearn for a real vacation like what my SIL was telling me who is living in England. She said it’s better to rent holiday cottages where you’ll feel like you’re not away from home. It’s better and cheaper than renting hotels so your family can extend their budget on some other things. It’s good for people like me who enjoy a more private place, I also browse online some cornwall cottages which are really good like St. Ives property where you’ll have a private view of the beach by the terrace, a breathtaking sight in the morning and even more on sunset.


If you really want a good, more private and comfortable vacation in different countries in Europe you’ll need self catering holidays offered by Home Away Holiday-Rentals, the best vacation package for families who want to experience vacation which feels like home. Get the feel of being one of the locals while having your vacation on their cottages or private villas. Just browse their site for the list of their properties and thousands of holiday villas, cottages, apartments or even castles that you can rent for your vacation.
