@ Jam: Sa tingin ko pinagbigyan ni Bathala ang Mindanao, tanda ko kasi yung mga nakaraang bagyo ay laging Southern Philippines ang tinatamaan. Kaya kaming mga taga-Luzon naman ang binagyo ngayon. Pero matindi ang naidulot ni Milenyo! Kababalik lang ng kuryente ngayon dito sa amin sa Silang, Cavite. Matapos ang 5 araw!

Kaya paspas sa pagkumpleto ng mga school works ngayon! hehe

@ trench: Whoah! So I guess, we were still lucky with Milenyo. But I think it's natural for Guam to be hit such powerful storms, the island afterall is smack in the middle of open ocean. Still, I think I'd go nuts if power would be out for 45 days.

@ ade: Last I checked, the death toll was about 105. Prayers and humanitarian aid for them.

Yeah, Milenyo was one nasty windbag. I sure hope the death toll wasn't that big, though.

haha. 90 mph winds? Thats sissy stuff. I've lived on Guam most of my life and we've had Typhoons with winds in excess of 180mph with gusts up to 240 mph!! Now thats strong. The last super typhoon that hit our island knocked out power for 45 days! What a living hell that was!

Fortunately, we are spared of its wrath in Mindanao. I was clueless about the latest news until I have watched it in TV Patrol the other day. Na-shock na lang ako dun sa balita na nagliliparan na ang mga bahay. Surely, this was one of the worst calamities Philippines have experienced.

Let's just pray that Neneng won't bring the same intensity.
