Enjoying the cold front and Barangay on location Shootings
Friday, January 16, 2009
I'm sure most of us city people are enjoying the cold air these days. Jackets are the in thing and airconditioning units are switched off most of the time.... a good way to conserve energy.
On another note, I'm so happy to share the good news that our barangay have started getting revenues not only from Barangay clearances and business permits but also from yesterday's commercial shoot, Tele drama series (tomorrow and then on) starring Yasmin Kurdi for "Saan Darating ang Umaga" and hopefully a movie to start shooting by the end of this month by no less than Ate Vi herself for Star Cinema Productions. What a good start!

Flash Floods due to Egay
Wednesday, August 15, 2007
We were already at St. Lukes Medical Center at about 8:00a.m. for Rey’s laboratory and blood works when heavy rains due to typhoon Egay poured. On our way home at 12:00 p.m. the skies were clear then but we noticed that there was a heavy flow of traffic when we reached the boundaries of San Juan and Mandaluyong. Motorists where even instructed to re-route because of some flooded areas along our way. We were stranded for more than an hour on a supposedly 20 minute drive. See why…
Classes were suspended in the middle of the day leaving poor students stranded
I was amazed knowing there were still kind people who shared a ride (we also did!)
But on the contrary, made instant business and took advantage (with a fee) of the situation

One stormy day
Wednesday, August 8, 2007
The Northern part of the Philippines including Manila has been experiencing drought the past weeks. Everybody have been praying for rainfall and it has been continously since Sunday but today I was surprised to wake up seeing the kids still asleep. Classes in Elementary and High School were suspended because of typhoon Dodong. I found it sooooo relaxing, I had all the day off in front of this PC.
