Mala-Ondoy

I've already stashed the following in the upstairs bedroom:

Candles, matches and flashlights
Food, water, milk
sterilizer
portable appliances
my valuables (aka frames, cookbooks, baking implements, etc)

The other car is in the office while Lolo's toy is parked on higher ground. The remaining car in the garage is parked facing the gate for immediate evacuation.

Though we are ready for a repeat of Ondoy, I sincerely hope that it doesn't go in that direction. I can not imagine how we can endure the clean-up, emotional trauma and the financial damage it will bring once again. This time, with a bigger area to clean up, ayoko na. Once in a lifetime is enough.

Juan, being the default name of many relatives, has a very special meaning to us all. I hope it will remain that way.

If you are looking for cheap designer bags, I suggest checking out Don Quixote.  You will usually find on the topmost floors on Donki.  I think this is the one in Shinjuku. I am not so sure. You find them arranged like this or inside locked glass cabinets.  I'm sure the artisans who made these bags will tu...
