Milenyo and Ondoy

When Tatay died bagyong Milenyo has taken over Luzon. Today is Tatay's 3rd death anniversary and bagyong Ondoy is devastating Luzon. Metro Manila is flooded with some people staying at the roof of their houses. Here in Pampanga, the water is knee-deep fortunately it is only in the streets and has not reached our house yet. I hope the rain lets up soon. According to the news, Ondoy has officially reached Pampanga at 4PM but even before that the rain was nonstop.
My titas from Quezon City and Paranaque who went here for Tatay's anniv have decided to sleep over. My uncle who went to a meeting in Makati is stuck in EDSA.
Here are some pictures I took while watching the news.

mommy thoughts from Madonna

My daughter has a problem picking things up in her room. So if she leaves her clothes on the floor, we put them in a bin bag. She has to earn them back by being tidy.

I have been so busy these past weeks I hardly have time to blog. Sorry.
Anyways, a few days after hubs arrived we celebrated V's birthday at Villa Antonina . Then after two days we were off to Boracay for some R&R. We enjoyed the place and each other's company for 6 days. A few days after going back home my Inang arrived from Qatar. And in between these days we also went to Laguna to spend time with MIL.
Time really flies fast when you're having fun.

yes!

After months of planning tomorrow is the big day! Hubs and I are going on another of our out of town trips. Hopefully the weather lets up so we can enjoy our time out.
Oh and yes since he arrived I hardly have time to blog so bear with me. I will try to update my blogs as much as I can.
