Ondoy, a Terrible Tragedy.

In September 26, 2009, Tropical Storm Ondoy (International Codename: Ketsana) hits the Metro Manila area and surrounding provinces. Thousands of people were killed. The damage was equivalent to the damage left by Tropical Storm Erin in Oklahoma in 2007 and the death toll was equivalent to that of Hurricane Katrina in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama in 2005. If you want to contribute to helping clean up the damage or donate items to the Philippines, Vietnam, and Laos, send these items or letters to the Philippine National Red Cross (if you don't know where they are, just Google it). Thank you for your support. A tragedy and sadness rocked our family when my mom's brother - who also was me and my sister's uncle - had died during the flood. They honored a rock concert in the Philippines after him. We are all sorry for those of you who are Filipinos who lost friends and loved ones. But ever since our uncle's death, me and my family were sad. (The most depressed was Mom. She was crying so hard that my sister and I had to comfort her.) If you are a Filipino and have an account at Vespinoy.com (Philippine National Vespa Forum), you know our uncle. Thank you for helping everybody, and God bless those who are struggling in the Philippines after the storm, during the economic crisis, and the swine flu (H1N1) outbreak.

First Post

Hello, welcome to my blog. This blog is about my expeiences when I came to Ateneo de Manila University in the Philippines when I was six, and in the first grade, I was being bullied every second waiting in fear. In early October 2006, my dad announced that we are going to the United States to visit my uncles and my grandparents, but it was my opportunity to get away from bullies. Now I am in the United States with my sister, my dad, and my mom, and I am 10, and I go to a different school. This blog is good for learning about my experiences, knowing about bullies, sharing tips, finding tips, and even sharing your experiences with the world. I hope I will be rated 5 stars by popular family magazine from Disney, FamilyFun. More posts are coming! Please rate and comment my post!
