Kala mo turistang namamasyal...

...at nagssight-seeing si Pepeng.

Talagang tumambay siya sa northern Luzon eh no. I stopped keeping track of Pepeng once I was assured we weren't going to be a direct hit. Then tonight, as I watched news on QTV, I was surprised to see that Pepeng was still hanging around, and that various places Pangasinan are now in deep floodwaters. My mom also mentioned landslides and flooding in Baguio. Now on the news are the scheduled brownouts Meralco has been implementing as they fix their transformers.

Haaay. When will it all end...? Ang dami nang malulungkot na pangyayari sa taon na ito.

The power of prayer...?

I'd like to think so :)

(For Ondoy's victioms, at least. I hope those in northern Luzon weren't severely affected by Parma...)

Nakakakaba...

Storm gone, storm coming...

Let's hope this one doesn't change course to affect the same areas devastated by Ondoy...Watch out for it at PAGASA's website...
